Now who'd've thought that my first job would be in an office. x.x I can't believe people actually work like this for so much of their lives [/exaggeration] Even someone like me (read that however you like) could barely stand an 8-hour workday in an insurance office.. doing.. office stuff.. @.@ And Argh!! Architecture follows me everywhere! still! TwT The guy probably didn't even know I was in architecture for a little bit, but yes, the work I did today involved some architecture.... and it was pretty frustrating work too. @.@" And I still have to relive the torture for about two more weeks. I guess the good thing about this is I'm getting $8 an hour (if I speed up in the work...). And *sigh* I have to wear 'nice' shoes for work.. good thing Fridays are casual wear days though~ I'm so used to wearing sneakers/athletic shoes it feels weird to wear something else..
I know there are things I should be grateful from this. For one, I'm getting paid to help out at the office. (I had originally just offered to 'help out' since I thought I wouldn't be doing much in the summer) Second, other people have to go looking for jobs. My mom offered this job to me, from her boss. Even if I wasn't looking into this kind of work, I should be considering myself lucky. And finally, work experience. I think it'd be kind of weird though, if say, I wanted to apply to a gallery or something, and for work experience I mention a brief couple weeks of working in an insurance company (with data entry(?)).. @.@
Ooh, more news about the summer. Apparently, my mom has signed my sister and me up for a "Fun Camp" in Taiwan. *dreaddread* =.= I forget the time period of this 'camp', but my mother refuses to tell me who told her about the thing in the first place.. or where this camp is taking place.. or what the flip we'll be doing at this camp. One other small thing that she told me, besides the dates, was that it's for people of ages 14-19? I already have a bad feeling about this.. TwT I was just hoping to be able to walk around on my own when I'm in Taiwan.. not to be shoved into some environment where I know I'd feel uncomfortable. Oh yes, my mom also claims that there will be lots of other people who speak English, but I keep feeling that there will be some sort of language barrier happening over there...... I DON'T WANT TO GO!! TTwTT
*sigh*
.. can't wait to just go to Japan and take pictures of lots of stuff....
