Firsts

Everyone has their firsts. Normally they are either really bad or really good (hence, always remembered). Well, so far this year I have had a few "firsts". I am not going to go into them all, but here are a couple.

It is my first internship. It has been interesting. But, mostly, I have dubbed it a "job". I have come to realize that I don't like this whole "work" thing. Going into an office for eight hours and trying to keep yourself entertained...no wonder I have met career waitresses, at least it is a fun thing to do! Not ragging on anyone's job, just saying the whole sit in an office is probably not going to be my cup of tea.

Then there is the LAN party. No, not the Chicago LAN, the Pittsburg LAN. 2Old2Pwn has held an annual LAN for three? years now. This will be my first time attending that. My hubbs, IACO, has gone every year and has always come home with a hangover and incredible stories (incredible, as in, 'Wow, they DID that?' kind of stuff) So, this will be a treat. I hope that this "first" counteracts the prior "first" with happiness and joy. That would be good.

Less than a week to find out! Yay!

you are in the wrong job.. that's all. Office work can be interesting, social, intriguing, challenging... or yes... a PitA...

You are going to love the LAN, Autumn. Guaranteed, no questions, totally love it! Wish I was going to be there this year, but I'm sure I'll see you next year!

This will be my first LAN as well... but you have a LOT less to worry about then I do! ;o)

Geez, grow up. There is a reason it's call a 'job' and not a 'fun'.

Actually, I think field work would be fun, I think that anthropology would be fun, I think that Aid work would be fun AND they aren't jobs that you need to spend in an office cubicle. I hope that the career you chose was at least a little amusing, being that the majority of people spend most of their lives there.
But, your right, I am being really immature trying to choose a path that will lead me to happiness for my work and not a headache at the end of the day.

And, just for the record, I am not saying all office jobs are that way. I know that this internship is not what I am looking for. I knew that from the first week, but it is a requirement to my scholarship program, so I have to stick to it. I suppose I could have been more specific about that.
