First Day of Work

first day of work today, as many of you apparently saw from my status :) it was quite awesome. got up at 8:45 and snoozed till 9:00 (going to bed right after this, i need sleep). work started at 9:30, where the new interns had an orientation for 2 hours. forms, company values, etc.. quite boring. but then we were compensated with "loot" - free copies of all of blizzard's popular games (probably around $200 value), 365 + 90 free days of world of warcraft (although i'm not interested in it, so rest assured my life stays untainted by it ;)), and a blizzard t-shirt (my favorite loot).

then i had lunch with my mentor, and then got to meet the team i'd be working with (a lot of awkward introductions XD none of us are eloquent orators). then i had to configure my computer and set up my new accounts for quite awhile, which was also tedious. at least i only have to do it once. then things became awesome when i got to actually start working, and when i got to play starcraft 2. i won't gush on details because they're uninteresting to you guys (plus it might violate my NDA) hahaha ;). but it was awesome.

i got a bunch of tasks i could work on for the summer, different programming jobs here and there that people were interested in pursuing but put on the backburner because they had to do other things, etc. so i just picked one to get started and started working on it for about two hours. if you stay at the company until 6, you get free dinner, so i did that because it's free and i have no meal plan (gasp, no mom or meal plan!).

once i got home i felt hungry, so i cooked up a fried egg on toast and 肉酥 (shredded pork, or pork floss). the toast came out perfect, which was awesome. the shredded pork was awesome too. but i cooked the egg without oil because i didn't have any.. bad idea. at least it cooked, but the pan got stuff stuck all over it. i managed to scrub it off, but i think i've learned my lesson XD tomorrow i'm going to get oil.

ps. i think we've written enough stuff on this blog to write about 40 pages. that's like 3 minimum-length rbas, or 1 of tia's rbas, and enough pages to write essays for tenyia for about... ten minutes :PP
