today was an interesting workday.

when i got up to my office, my boss gave me some "safety sheets" to read. these are papers that tell you to follow certain precautions when working with construction equipment. i'm not sure why i have to read them; i'm a fire alarm systems intern. hmm.

anyways, after that, i was pretty much bored. there were some tasks here and there.

three o'clock rolled around, and i wanted to leave, because there was nothing to do. of course, my supervisor gave me something to do, which i didn't mind, because it was a small task. i figured i could get it done, then leave. wrong.

in the middle of that, another coworker came up to me and asked if i could help with something... of course i helped. i had to make twelve copies of a system manual, stick em in binders, and ship em out.

oh, and in the middle of that, another superior of mine came up and told me to make ten copies of another project's manual.

oh, and then he gave me another manual; this one also needed ten copies.

oh, and then he gave me another one; this one needed ten copies, but six had to go into binders, and four had to have giant staples put in them.

right after that, my supervisor came back to me with the stuff i had just given him, and said that he needed ten manuals put together for this one project.

so that was literally five projects at once. this all was given to me in the span of five minutes. what the fuck.

oh well. i guess they pay me for something.

i'm not sure what i'm doing tonight. maybe just resting. don't know yet. i want to go out, but i don't know if anyone's around tonight. oh well.

currently listening to: most beautiful plague by say anything

cheers,

I'm surprised they didn't ask you to shine their shoes and do their laundry. Ah, internships...so much mindless fun. :)

Which letter was this?
The one from move-in? I figured that I shouldn't be too much of a bitch to my boss if I wanted a nice chunk of money next year... But I expect nothing from my RA or my roomie, and I'm looking into it. So far there are two "vacancies", neither in places I am willing to go.

Or do you mean the one to my RA? I sent it, which is why things got pissy, because she didn't respect my feelings. I'm in the process of writing the letter to housing to gripe about the RA and her boss.

it's interesting how one minute you have nothing to do then bam.. everything just comes all at once.

co-workers tend to do that. when me and desi would go in with our mom to work we would always do all her shredding that needed to be done. once the other people noticed someone was doing shredding they'd all bring their boxes and bags full for us to do as well. of course we didnt mind since we had nothing better to do, but it would take us forever.
