Today We work Hard
Oct. 14th, 2004 11:12 pmAll this week, they've been making us log out for about ten minutes between 3 - 3:10 pm, while "a sunspot goes over," but today the people working next to me didn't seem to know anything about it. I don't know if I've been hallucinating for three days or the victim of an unusually drawn-out and deadpan hazing.
I think I'm making slightly fewer mistakes. Supervisor-types kept taking me aside to confide to me how many I was making, and for a while I was terrified, since I'm still on probation until December. Yesterday one of my trainers seemed happy that I was getting better, but today I was shown the three I'd made since then, with a caution to "relax." I think they now think that maybe they've scared me into making more mistakes. I think my ability to feel worried at the situation is wearing thin.
Actually, having a "real" job, that badge of adulthood, is, ironically, kind of making me feel like I'm about ten years old - I have to go to a place during the day where I do slightly boring work, but I don't have to worry about where my rent is coming from.
Yesterday one of the practice press releases had something in it about a factory saving enough electricity to light 20,000 homes for 7 days. Hey, I thought, that's just short of a Hanukkah.
