so this is what it's all about, eh?
Yesterday I started my placement and man what a lackluster time that was.Because I'm basically in a corporate communications sort of dealy the guy had me reading articles dating back over the past couple weeks to get a feel of what's been said about the organization in the news of late. That's what I was essentially doing for the majority of my day. I had no computer access because it wasn't set up for me, and yeah, there was basically nothing to do at all. Luckily I get one hour for lunch so that makes a 6 hour work day for me every day. It went by quickly but it was still pretty boring.
Today was my second day on the job and I had a little more to do, but just a little. After arriving at 9am this morning, I proceded to not do anything for the next hour and a half or so. After that we managed to get my security pass taken care of, along with my computer and phone access. I also got to do some proof reading of some pages of the paper that they put out. I just looked for spelling errors or alignment issues with the layout. And finally I had a minor piece to write about a renovation to a building. I did that expecting it was needed soon, but I found out I essentially had the week to do it. Tough work.
I get the feeling my experience here isn't going to be too challenging. I could be wrong and I hope so, but right now it seems the tasks are going to be few and far between, and they're going to be just that, tasks. Things I can do pretty easily. I hope I'm wrong because I think i can enjoy my time there pretty easily although the tight access to the Internet kind of sucks. I can't even get onto hotmail to check my mail :( and apparently the site usage is monitored pretty heavily for new people such as myself. I guess new people have a high tendency to surf porn. Well they're idiots..they should be like me and stick to doing it at home!
Anyhoo that's the update. It's past my bed time, sadly.
Peace.
