(no subject)
I'm thinking that maybe I overreacted about work a teeny bit yesterday due to sheer exhaustion. Or maybe I was just frustrated because I felt like I wasn't doing anything. Either way, today was better. Still not exciting, but better. I got to run solids, viscosities, adhesion tests (not as glamourous as it sounds.....we scratch the coating on the metal plate and put really sticky tape on it then yank it off to see if the coating stays. High tech, really), and put stuff in the computers. I'm even starting to be able to look at the samples and their information cards as they come in and have a vague idea of where to start/what to do. This is good. Hopefully, I'm a little ahead of the normal learning curve, but I'm really not sure. Time will tell...
It's pretty sad that all I really have to talk about anymore is work. It seems like that's all I do....work, eat, and sleep. I think I've started eating more since I've started working at Valspar. We have a morning break, lunch, and an afternoon break. I've been trying to eat healthier food, so I take fruit with me to eat during the morning break and I usually take veggies and a sandwich to eat at lunch. Hopefully if I am eating more, the time I spend on my feet running around the lab will make up for it. I'm just worried that I'll eat more and be less active because I'm so damn tired when I finally make it home at almost 5. But...it'll be ok. I just have to keep reminding myself that there's nothing wrong with me. And hey, maybe once I switch shifts I'll start exercising again :)
And on that note, I'm going to go lie in bed and read some more of The Stand before I go to sleep. I've really missed reading it, as I don't have much time to since I left Hallmark. It sure was nice being able to sit around and read and get paid for it! I hope everyone is doing well-maybe I'll come up with some more interesting stuff to talk about after this weekend (hopefully, I'm going to Auburn again. Depends on work.). Goodnight!
