So it's been a while since I've written a journal. I was tired of copying and pasting from my other stuff, so I just stopped. I figured I'd give you few readers an update.
Not a whole lot has been going on. Work is pretty good. It's monotonous and I'm running out of stuff to do, but I'm making money so I'm happy. As for money, university costs a lot. I need to get some stuff sorted out soon, or else I may lose my spot at York...
I had a party last night, which went well. There were fewer people than last time, so it was much less chaotic. I was happy with how it turned out. Hopefully I can have another one or two before I head off to York.
I got my first credit card last week. It's exciting. I'll be buying some stuff online in the next couple weeks, which is one of the main reasons why I got it. I'm getting a Zune and some clothes from J!NX, which is pretty awesome.
I still haven't decided whether to frosh or not... Depends how much I've made by that point, I guess. We'll see.

First Day
So I worked my first day today. It was good. Very relaxed, a nice start.
It's a little bit tedious, but I'll get used to it. I don't really have a concrete job, I'm just there to help out with whatever. So this first week will basically be adaptation.
We started out talking for about an hour regarding the company, what they do, and what my responsibilities will be. Then I was taught how to use the contact manger program that they use, which I would need to familiarize myself with rather quickly because they just purchased a newer version.
I then spent the rest of the morning checking and updating contacts and familiarizing myself with the program so that I could import all of the old contacts (and there are a fuck-ton) when we made the upgrade. Somewhat tedious, but a nice relaxing start to the day.
After lunch, I played around with the boss's PDA, as he is a technophobe and has no idea how to use it, so he wants me to learn how to work it so that I can teach him. I played with it for a good three hours, which was a nice waste of time.
Tomorrow I will be installing the new program, updating the contacts, and attempting to sync the new program with the PDA (as that is the main reason why it was purchased). Should be an interesting day, I'm looking forward to it. And I'll be alone for the first half, because my boss has a doctor's appointment in Toronto. Fun fun.
The hours weren't too bad. I was still asleep when I got in at 8 (woke up at 5:30), but I got out around 5:30 so it's all good. I should have a nice paycheck at the end of next week. I'll be opening a savings account that I can't access from my debit so that I can't spend my cash... Just in case.
I'm hopefully seeing Transformers after work tomorrow, but it all depends on whether I can milk some cash out of my parents. Anyways, I need to sleep. Have a great week guys!
