...30 More Years of THIS?!?!

Time: 6:30pm
Mood: Exhausted
Song of the moment: Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down

I havn't had too much time to blog because I've been just exhausted every day from working. I started work last Monday and already the work is starting to pile. I'm already having people fight for my time :S It's been ok working but the hardest part was trying to get into this routine. I'm so used to waking up whenever I want.. and unlike school, if I don't feel like coming in to work I'm sure to get fired! haha! Ah I miss school...

As I mentioned before, work has been ok. So far everyone I work with are very friendly. My office is an open concept so it can get a bit noisy sometimes (what bugs me the most is those ppl that HAVE TO listen to their voicemail msgs on speaker phone. It's like "Thanx buddy!" lol), but I like it. But I do feel like a co-op student. Why? First off.. I don't even have a proper desk! Even the co-op student, who sits beside me has a proper desk. All I have is a table... and a crappy computer that sits on my desk and takes up room. Luckily I don't use that computer, however, I am using a lender laptop until my new one comes in. And this thing is chunky.. and a bit slow. File folders and binders are starting to pile up on my desk. It's so hard to get organized (and my job requires me to be organized! eeks!). I hope my desk and the laptop comes soon...

I do get stressed sometimes though. I know they don't expect me to know everything related to my job, but they talk to me as if I should know. And that kind of freaks me out. The learning curve is definitely steep :S But in all honesty, this is not really what I want to do with my life. I'm a validation engineer, but I want to be an R&D engineer. I work with already manufactured plastic parts... I want to work with producing plastic parts. *sigh* The problem is I just started this job... and quite frankly I need the money. I feel I kind of jumped the gun when I took this job. Well.. another 30 years of working right? I'm sure I'll probably end up where I want to be (hopefully!)

The good thing about working, of course, is getting paid! I got my first pay cheque yesterday. And I think I already shopped most of it away on the weekend. Oops :S Hey it was for x'mas gifts.. sorta. That's not a bold face lie.. it's just the partial truth. Actually I spent most of the money on myself. I bought myself new dress pants (cuz I need to dress business casual @ work), a new pair of shoes w/ a lower heel cuz shit.. driving in 3" heels is NO FUN! I was having so much fun shopping!

Hey, am I the only one that thinks x'mas music is annoying? For some reason, I only enjoy x'mas music maybe a week before x'mas day. Oh wait.. I should be calling it "holiday" music (to be politically correct...)? Anyway, it bugs the crap outta me sometimes. 3 weeks ago I went shopping @ Markville mall during the day (when everyone was at work) and the mall was kinda empty, and they were playing x'mas music in the mall.. I swear to God I felt like I was in a Tim Burton movie (like Edward Scissorhands or something). So eerie! The worst song of all is that x'mas song by The Beatles... "simply haaaaving a wonderful christmas time" ugh what a horrible song *shiver*. haha now it's in your head now :D Enjoy!

TGIF tomorrow!
