First week at work

That's what happen.

I have to temporarily stopped blogging because of those first days of work. First of all, my workplace is at the other end of the city. In the morning, my father takes me there. First day, he also pick me up at the end of the work time. Second day, I tried the busway and it was truly an entire journey in hell. Ssssht, I even tried to smoke a couple of times, but it always failed. I'l tell you that some other time. Third day, one of my friend at the office take me to the busway that goes straight to my place (before, I had to take a busway and then transit to the second busway that goes to my place). That third day was also a very special day. I met my love that day, he was sent back from Borneo because of some reason. It was the only reason that I need to survive another hill-billy-hell ride, that he was waiting in the end of that ride. :)

So, about work... It was fairly boring, to be honest, and everyday almost became torture to me that I always desperately hoping that the time will fly straight to 5.30 pm and I will gain my freedom. At  4 pm, the anxiety always invaded my mind, and I could barely concentrate for the next hour and a half. The thing is, I've just found out that the project they're working on in some architecture firm is not going to be easily passed to another person, even if you only going to use that person (in this case, me) for a tiny help.

Before I go on any further while you having a hard time understanding anything I'm telling you, I'm gonna share how the gear works in my office. Bear in mind that I'm just an intern, so just wipe my presence away from the whole machine. Okay. The firm has a head architect, who is also the founder of the firm. Under his supervision, there are two person, his junior architect, I guess. Under each of those two senior architect, there are two teams, consists of architects. Each team hold several projects, and each project is held responsible by one of the team crews. I also found out later that sometimes the team hold several projects but all of the teammates work on it together as a whole. But that's just a matter of managing in each team.

What I'm saying earlier, is that some help, even if it's just a tiny bitsy job, is not going to be helpful if it comes from a newbie like me. Architecture students will understand this. Even I would not trust anybody 100% to help me on my design project. The most trust I was able to give so far was to my lovvve, who helped me with my project maquette.

That is exactly why, my days of work was entirely boring, yet draining the hell of energy out of me. Nobody gave me a worthy assignment. I would be glad to help somebody with their CADs or SketchUp or just as simple as helping to prepare a presentation... Damn it, am I that worthless? Now I'm starting to get depressed again...
