So, 2 weeks of craziness is over.
I pulled my first sleepover at work, and did about 60 hours in 4 days. Honestly tho, it wasnt all bad, the time coulda felt a lot worse. I am amazed at the skill of the developers, and have realised that i never wnat to do development at work.
The highlight of this week has been go karting. It has been everthing i expected and more. It was a lot more tiring but a hell of a lot of fun. I got my 4 wheel drift happening and multiple cautions for spinning out :D
Will try to organise a mini grand prix sometime in the near future. I think im addicted.
Tell me if u are intersted.

Week 1
Hours worked: 70
It wasn't all bad tho. The hours didn't seem as bad as I thought they would be, nor is the work as boring. Generally the people there are cool, and i enjoy the work environment.
Karting today. A comedy of errors.
Went at 2pm. Corporate Day. Went back to Yao's. Went back to karting at 6. Both of Will's front tyres blew out.
Car is still 1 km from eastern creek karts as we speak.
Back to work.

The door slammed shut
So. It begins.
Today was a strange day.
I started on project, and it turns out that I am chargable which is good.
There is a deadline on the 15th which is bad.
The work i do will be credited to me which is good.
I will work ridiculous hours, like 9-11's and also saturday, which is bad.
It's only until the 15th which is good.
The work is quite repetitive which is bad.
I will get to learn about the system, which is good.
I wont get to bludge on the bench which is bad.
I am not alone in testing, viv, luce and jen will join me which is good.
I'll miss karting on saturday, which is bad.
See I told you it was a strange day.
I spose I knew when i selected this job that times like this would happen. I guess its time to man up, and suck it in.

Bored
So, for some obscure reason, i feel the need to blog again. Well, not so much a need, but more a desire. Why you ask? I think I feel my youth, freedom, independence, life etc all slipping by before my eyes.
I call the cause of this "Full time work". Yes. Those who have already spoken to me have already heard my bitching about this, but now that i have actually been assigned to a project, (and what are the chances of ONLY me, out of 18 other ppl being put on a project while everyone else gets to bludge?) that it all seems all too real. The last 3 weeks of training have been a bludge, but already im tired, and have slept a lot of the day away.
A few observations:
The more you earn the more you spend.
Weekends are too short.
Everyone is in a relationship.
It's time to lose weight.
20 gigs of music isn't that much after all.
