Work
40 hour work weeks really aren't bad. As long as there's things to do, the time flies by.
Here's what my days have been (give or take) for the past 2 weeks.
-Wake up at 7.
-Get to work for 7:30.
-Daily report on the server infrastructure (make sure nothing serious happened) followed up by a walk through the data center to make sure no servers blew up in the middle of the night.
-Clean my inbox, look at support tickets, resolve as many as I can.
-Around 9 I usually go downstairs to grab something to drink with breakfast, like chocolate milk or apple juice or something.
-Finish up any projects I had laying around from the previous day. Also, launch software deployments to our environments for people in Development. If it's a slow day, I'll work on more support tickets, but odds are there isn't many.
-Either I try to sit down with another employee to learn about something new, meetings, or brush up on other stuff.
-Usually its about 12, so the other co-ops and I go down for lunch until 12:30-12:40.
-Go back to my desk, finish working on whatever I was doing before.
-Start working on something new.
-If I'm looking for a snack or something (a walk?) at 3 or so, I'll hop downstairs again for a minute.
-Work until 4, or when I leave.
The great thing is, I can just go in and work. I get paid to learn. There's nothing better than that. Also, having a team that stands behind your decisions and is willing to work with you is also great.
I really enjoy work, but I hate the snap backs to reality I've been having. For some reason, I'm still really unhappy. I know exactly why too. Sure, it's selfish, but I think I'm entitled this once. I do like feeling wanted too, you know. Feeling second-best is something I really don't want to be in your eyes anymore, dammit. Why can't I be your number one? There's just so many things that I want to tell you, but I'm afraid of looking like a complete fool.
I still haven't gotten a replacement hard drive yet. Hell, Western Digital hasn't even acknowledged getting my malfunctioned part. I'm not really sure how I'm going to re-build my computer, but I may be beta-testing Windows 7.
All in all, I guess the word "mopey" can summarize my personality lately. When I'm at home I just sort of...mope around. The feeling is horrible. I think I have an inferiority complex of sorts.
