9 to 5
I suddenly find myself in a room, full of strange men. There are 4 of them, and sitting there, I stick out like a sore thumb, for a variety of reasons. They look like roast chicken, I look like steam chicken. They are 30 something and married, I'm fresh out of college (though technically I'm not) 10 and I sure as ain't married. There are only 2 things we have in common; we are all men, and we all work there.Just the other day, I was a college boy, going for classes, horsing around, skipping class. Suddenly, I am now Mr....... of company ........ making business phone calls here and there, dealing with spreadsheets, diagrams, charts, negotiating million dollar deals...... OK, maybe not entirely, but I certainly made a few business calls, and I did represent the company to purchase something. But sadly, it was literally a mail box. :-P
For now, I am staying at my brothers place since it is (marginally) nearer to where I work, and where I will probably work for at least the next 3 years of my life. Its not all that bad; its an engineering company, the boss is (reasonably) friendly, work is flexible and for these 2 months of 'holiday working', the Boss has given me a rather generous allowance. I won't mention figures, but it is definitely a little on the high side, considering they are such a small company, with only 4 full time staff, not that I'm complaining or anything!
Since I started work, I have had access to broadband on a daily basis, which is really nice, but since i moved into my brothers place, its been hard to find some private moments to write my post. We share the PC, so I can only write things when no one is around! (like now). But ever since I started work ( a grand total of 2 days now), I feel a little lonely, to be honest. I cant talk to my girlfriend since I'm at work, my friends have gone back to their home towns, I cant blog, and being all guys, my colleagues generally keep the chatter to the minimum.
So here's what i have been doing. I check my personal e-mail almost every hour, hoping to receive some e-mail, and I look at my phone every other time. Since i have lunch alone, I will send a message to my girlfriend, and then spend the next 10 minutes wondering who else could I contact. In the end, lunch break ends and its time to go back to office.
Man, am I pathetic or what? HmmMmmMmMMm.... but I'm not too concerned, things will be alright. Its strange sometimes; when you have company, you sometimes think you want to be alone. When you are alone, you then suddenly want some company! Isnt that so typically human of us all?
But there is light at the end of the tunnel, with my rather generous pay, I will finally be able to buy that camera I've been wanting1 Yeeeesssssss....... Buuuuaaahahahahahahahaha......
*cough*cough*
Sorry, have to work on that evil laugh.
