First Week of Work

*More on my experience working fulltime again. Specifically for SABA in training...

Here's the meat of the topic now...

Goodness, work sucks. I'm hoping maybe when i get used tot his 9-5 schedule and actually start doing something useful, that it'll not be as bad. but right now im going through some ridiculous training...

first 2 days was jus plain ol sittin on a chair for 8 hours doing jack. couldnt go around web surfing on the laptop they gave me cuz it'll look bad on me if the boss finds out. and the boss randomly checks up on us, "doing nothing"...

lately i finally got some training lectures recorded on the computer that i have to watch and its been just 6 hours of watching training videos all day. and most of the stuff dont even make any sense and jus seems kinda useless. all in the all the job kinda sucks. everyday i come in from work im beat and worn out. dont got the energy to do anything. all i wanna do is watch TV for a lil bit then head to sleep cuz of the headache from all the information overload and sitting. yes sitting is stressful. its lik sitting in an airplane on a 12 hour flight with nothing to do really, its boring and extended boredom = stress for me. i'd rather do some productive work than do nothing on my ass.

all these bad things aside, there were some interesting lectures where i learned more about the business aspect of the company and their product and the type of problems they look to solve. im sure things will turn around once i actually finish training and do some real work.

other pluses, the work environment, although its a cubical, theres no real strict schedule, i can go out whenever i want really for lunch as long as im not busy and stay out for 1-2 hours. eventually after training i can work at home alot too. i'll be able to work about 3-4 days of the week at home if i want. another plus was there's a guy name K_ i had classes back in CP who works there. he's real cool an its good to see again an work with him.
