A very strange movie (and a very normal job)
Just saw "Babel". I can't think how to describe that movie, it's such a strange mix that it's difficult to decide if I enjoyed it (There are three very loosely linked stories spanning Morocco, The US/Mexico and Japan)...certainly the film is engrossing, possibly a little unecessarily shocking in rare moments, but it's really hard to judge such things.
Got to wake up in a few hours for third day of my new job. It's absolutely staggering how large this company is compared to the previous places I've worked. There are five seperate offices in the Perth CBD alone (the head quarters are in Sydney.) The one I work in is only mid-sized and still occupies four entire floors of the building its located in. The level of organisation is extremely impressive, although that does mean the processes are at times a little bureaucratic. Lots of other engineers starting now, although the only other one I knew before (another UWA EE grad) hasn't started yet. Most of the other fresh grads are mechanical or civil, with people from all uni's it seems. The first couple of days have been very pleasent, and I think if I don't like this job I'll have to leave Perth to find anything that might be more appropriate, so fingers crossed.
