So, I managed to find a few minutes to update, just within my 'once-a-week-resolution' timeline. I rule.
Not much is new. Not much at all. My workweek thus far consisted of a busy-as-all-get-out monday followed by two days of 8-to-5 events. Once every few months, the shoe giant puts on a huge two-day event where all employees hired in a certain time range get to go and 'drink the kool aid,' so to speak.
So, for most of the day, I listened to a lot of people talk about stuff like innovation, branding, marketing, diversity and so on. It was fun and the food was free, but I couldn't help thinking about all the work that I was leaving unfinished.
We wrapped the day up with free beer, which can't be beat. I love this employer, if only for that. But, with the free beer came an awkward social event:
Two circles with the same number of people were created, one inside the other. The inner circle rotated every 60 seconds by one person. This gave the person on the outside and the person on the inside 60 seconds to talk about something. Now, keep in mind that we're total strangers. Being an RA, I've done this type of shit before, and it was always easy because I just didn't give a shit. Now, I give a shit. I want to make a good impression. I want people to be like 'Oh yeah, I remember him. He was cool like a mufuka'."
Beyond that, I've been coding for MTC v2.0 a lot and playing way too much Wii. I think I'm nearly done with Zelda. Shit!
