Work
Well, I just had my first 3 days of work (from Wednesday to Friday). The first day went terrible and the second and third days weren't too great either. T.T I suck.
First Day:
My first day of paid work for Scotiabank was Bad. Unfortunately/Fortunately (depending on the circumstances) my manager, Sean, was away. So I didn't really have any work to do, because Scotiabank doesn't hire high school kids usually (mostly college/university kids), so it was rather unplanned. Most of the time I spent just sitting in my cubicle dying of boredom.
However, the computer expert for the section I work in, Bruce, called me over to show me how one of the bank's computer programs worked. Does anyone remember that post I made about a year ago about that time I almost fainted or something while standing in line to get my timetable and such? It's in the archives with a title saying "Well..." Well, that happened to me again with Bruce. And it was worse this time, since I was dry heaving too. I didn't lose my vision or my hearing like I did the last time, but like I said I thought I was gonna puke (nothing came up luckily). I freaked out Bruce quite a bit.
I wish I knew what starts these incidents; I'm sure that it wasn't hunger or lack of sleep this time, because I wanted to be ready for anything, since it was my first day. I think it might be because I've been so nervous. Lately, I've become extremely anti-social, like a schitzoid, and on top of that I've also been nervous about screwing up on the job (tada!), so maybe being around all those people at work just fried my brain or something... T.T
Day 2 and 3:
I met Sean, I don't know if he likes me or not, but at least he wasn't there for the weird fainting-ish thing. That's another thing, everyone at my job is so nice to me, but I dunno if they're faking it! I mean, how can so many people in one place all be so nice? None of my co-workers have said anything to me, other than "hi, nice to meet you." (Nor have I spoken to them much either).
Anyways! Sean gave me some work. He told me to read some business guides, so I can learn from them and ask him questions and stuff, and he gave me an MS Excel file to work on some equations and reorganize some tables. But reading business guides (which is all I did for day 2 and half of day 3) doesn't seem like work for me, I'm learning stuff and getting paid for learning. Does that make sense? I don't feel like I deserve any money I'll be making and I don't think I deserve to even be working for Scotiabank (I'm a clueless high school kid!).
After reading those business guides, I realized how very little I know about business. I understand some parts, and the parts I don't understand I ask Sean questions about. On top of this overwhelming sense of ignorance, I can remember my business class grade from first semester, and it was the lowest mark I've got on all my report cards for the past 5 years. So I'm currently feeling rather worthless, and I'd like to go crawl under a rock and die. T.T I have work again on Monday...
The other intern, Natalie, in my section of the bank is in college or university, she sits in the cubicle behind me. She's proven that Rogers phone/cable company employees don't even provide decent customer service to their own children. Natalie's mom works for Rogers, and has been giving Natalie a really hard time over an error made about a replaced phone Natalie's bought a plan for. She's had other employees from Rogers talk to her as well, but they weren't any more useful than her mother. I know all this because she keeps freaking out at Rogers' employees while sitting behind me in the office. Judging by how much Natalie talks on the phone while she's working to friends, family, and (of course) Rogers, she needs the cheaper service plan too. Natalie reminds me a lot of those girls with their ears glued to their cellphones who I'd see at school. I hate those girls and I don't like Natalie. But Natalie actually gets work done and earns her paycheque, whereas I'm being paid to learn. So now I've sunk even lower by disliking a person who's more productive than myself. I mean, at least she's always yapping on the phone while doing work!
Sorry if this is long and annoying to people. I got the most comments I've got in a long time on my last post, thanks everyone, so it's obvious y'all like happier posts. I'm so sorry, I just really had to get this out, my parents don't know anything about all this. I just hope I'm not a terrible inconvenience for Sean and my co-workers. They only hired me because my dad is very important to the company and has a high position, and I think the only reason they're trying to be nice to me is so they don't get fired themselves.
Well, enough about that. I'm going to work on a new theme this weekend. It's going to be a morbid theme. But it's not because I want it to reflect my current mood or anything, I've been planning this theme for a long time now. Who knows, if the theme turns out alright, it might cheer me up a bit ^.^;
I'll try to get to everyone's sites. I might work on my comic a bit and excercise a little, that might help me shake off this depression. As for those who know me on DeviantArt, I'm also checking out everyone's art on there. My dad said he's gonna take me to buy a new computer too, so hopefully I'll be able to go on TheOtaku more to check out Worlds and fanart too. ^.^ See Yas! And Happy Belated Fourth of July, to my American Friends! ^.^
Answers:
1. I prefer shounen (for guys) anime because the artwork is more realistic, the story is more interesting, and the characters are more intelligent. Well, to be fair, I don't like how all anime in general makes women look stupid. Shounen seems to be more extreme on making female characters stupid in contrast to male characters though.
2. My brother and I gave my dad an iPod Touch with a case, a docking station, and the new Coldplay CD. Obviously my mom bought it all though, because my brother and I could never afford that stuff.
3. My Zombie Plan can hardly be considered a plan. My Zombie Plan is to grab all available items and use them as weapons against zombies while I run through the streets. I've always wanted to kill a zombie, and anyone who's play Dead Rising knows how much fun it is to kill zombies with random objects. By the way, I loved everyone's plans though, they were all much more efficient than mine! XD
Questions:
1. What are you craving?
2. What are you listening to?
3. If you were on vacation and could go anywhere you wanted, where would you go?
