orikesThis past week has reaffirmed one very definite thing to me. I hate mornings. I *really* hate mornings.
It’s not anything against the morning time period itself. There are some wonderful things to be said for the sunrise, morning dew, breakfast, and other such things. Unfortunately, I am an evening person. I’m not quite a night person, since I start getting cranky if I’m up too late and I definitely need to go to bed a few hours before the sun rises, but I hit my stride at night.
Since I need to catch the bus to get to work, I have to leave the house at 6:45am. This means getting up around 6am. This is rough on me, especially when I try and go to bed the night before and my body is wide awake. All through this past week, I’d be exhausted all day at work, get home and be ready to drop, and then when I finally go to bed around 11pm, I’m wide awake and I don’t fall asleep until sometime after 1am. It sucks.
As far as the job itself goes, there are some plusses and some minuses. I’m still pretty excited to be part of this company. It’s small and up and coming, which is something I haven’t really been involved with before. I’ve had academia, large corporate, small legacy business, and declining corporate, but never one that’s up and coming. They’re doing big things and still growing. The people seem really cool too. Everyone’s been exceptionally nice and, for the most part, there’s a laid back air about the unimportant stuff.
The downside is the training. I’ve been frustrated with the nearly non-existent pace of the training me and the other new guy have been receiving. I don’t think they really intend to pay us to sit around and do nothing, but that’s what a large chunk of this week has been like. Based on what this past week has been like, the only reason that training is supposed to last a month is that they do it .. well.. half-assed. And what’s scary is that this is the ‘improved’ training process.
Anyway, eventually I’ll be trained enough to do the job. Even if I have to go to someone other than the trainer to get that experience.

Date: 2006-10-22 05:08 pm (UTC)Have you always been an evening person? You know the story on Scott. SO NOT a morning person. I used to be. Or I thought I was. But alas, not any more. Maybe it's because I am used to being up during Scott's hours. I love early morning, I love evening, I love night. What I don't like is early afternoon. Nothing good ever happens them for me. *grin*
How'd your game go on Friday?
