So there I was, infiltrating the global headquarters. I am now a corporate slave. I am now going to pull a Tyler Durden/Lester Burnham.
…or not.
It’s pretty hard to get mad or pissed off at a corporate workplace when your boss is really damn cool, ya know? I mean, I really like Bill. He seems very down to earth, has great goals for the interactive team, and I can’t wait to get started already. I know, I know, it sounds like I’m sucking up. But seriously– there’s no one from work reading this (at least yet). So I have no reason to brown nose. (Wait, I’m Indian so… I guess the brown nose is inherent, isn’t it?)
Last night I got precisely 25 minutes of sleep. I told you my sleep schedule was whack. I slept from 6:35 am to 7:00 am, then got up, got ready, and left for work. I toted a huge Monster Energy Drink along with me to keep me awake, and after I got there I went to the cafe downstairs and had a ‘Red-Eye’ which had two shots of espresso mixed with coffee. Caffeine-driven Vinoj! Even with it though, around 11 am my eyes were slowly starting to shut. We went through a number of housekeeping stuff today, like how timesheets are filled out, how the process of a site is configured, and the timeline for a site build. We also talked a little bit about usability/accessibility in the web design world, and I was asked to give a presentation next Monday on usability. I’m already prepping, because I want to make sure to keep people interested and (hopefully) entertained for 20 minutes so I’ll have to keep it moving. We’ll see what happens.
For now, I’m just drinking a lot of Diet Coke to keep myself awake until about 10 so that I can then just crash. As soon as I got home I took a 3 hour nap because I was beat. But I promised I wouldn’t sleep anymore, and now I’m waiting for 10.
And with that, I’m out! Peas.
