| | So I started working on Monday. Man it's tough getting up at 8:00 in the morning and working 8+ hours a day. My sleep schedule is all screwed up so I've been just crashing when I come home. I'm trying to get so I can stay up for the rest of the day, go to sleep at a reasonable time, then get enough sleep so I'm not tired at work
Well anyway, I'm getting used to it. The first day was very long, since I didn't really have much to do and I hadn't worked a shift that long since IBM.
The second day was better, I had some actual programming to do. Most of the day was spent stumbling around in the dark trying to understand how the code I was working off of worked. I had some problems with a class that used static functions with private constructors since I had never seen anything like that before. I also got teased cause linear algebra wasn't required for computer science people at Millersville (god forbid). I also got scolded for putting my files in the wrong place, but everything got cleared up.
Today was full of meetings, and I got some pointers on how to make my code better. We also went out to lunch at the bethpage golf course where they're having the US open next year. The 2 main guys already have tickets, those golf nerds. I had some problems at the end of the day with their source code management system but it got fixed and everything. I'm gonna be doing some XML designing tomorrow.
When I got back to my apartment today I tried to make an effort to only sleep 1 hour. So at 8:00 I sleep, the alarm goes off, and I guess I turned it off or something because I wake up at 11:30. At least I'm not fully awake and can probably go back to sleep at around 2 or so. I've been managing to listen to the Opie and Anthony show as much as I used to, since I spend most of the time when I'm not at work with it glued to my ears. Plus, I can listen to it on the weekends to if I have a show to catch up on.
Anyway, everyone at work is friendly and it's a great environment. A certain person can be a little bossy and nitpicky about organization, but they have good intentions and are just trying to help. We always have lunch together and everyone gets along great. It's nice to take a break like that in the middle of the day and just talk to everyone. It really makes it go faster.
My parents and sister are coming up on Saturday and we're going to the Bronx zoo, which will be awesome. I could watch those stupid monkeys for hours. Anyway, I gotta figure out how to take the train to the Bronx, since I sure as hell don't feel like driving in dumb long island traffic.
