So I've become an old woman. It's 11:25 right now and I'm exhausted. I'm about an hour past my new bedtime and I have to wake up earlier tomorrow morning, too.
I've also been worrying about things like packing my lunch, nylons, coding questionnaires, TPS reports (haha, just kidding on that one), how to make a meager wardrobe not look like it's in a 2 week rotation, etc. When did I enter the real world, and is it too late to look into grad school for Fall 2007?
There's training to go to tomorrow for Six Sigma Yellow Belt awareness, whatever that means. Caterpillar pretty much loves the Six Sigma system so they use it everywhere, in every department. I guess it's kinda a point of tension, though, because the older people in Cat think Six Sigma is a waste of time and really just wish it would dissapear.
So, I really like the people in my department. There are only about 10 people in my immediate group, and probably 35 in my next bigger circle. The average age of the 10 is probably well under 30 years old and everyone treats each other like they're siblings, so it's really fun. They're also all pretty newly working, so it makes it easier to ask them questions (they remember what it was like to be confused).
Oh yeah. I work in a cubicle, but it's pretty big and there's a window right next to me. Some of the other interns have to share cubicles or their desks are really tiny so I feel pretty lucky with my nice, spacious one. It's still a cubicle, though... when did I get old enough to have a cubicle?
I'm going to leave you with one of my favorite Office Space quotes. I still like my job, so it doesn't really apply... but I still laugh every time I hear it.
Peter: So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.
