The first few days at a new job are kind of like the start of school: you spend a lot of time fucking off and no time visualizing the days when you will actually be expected to be productive. They even threw class-like modules into the mix to intensify the effect. It wasn't so much that it was a lot like school that bothered me, but more that I didn't have any hands on tasks. Shadowing is a step up from watching paint dry, especially when you have no idea what the hell anyone is doing. After a summer of painful isolation and tedious boredom I was ready to do something. Unfortunately, doing something also comes with responsibility, which I must admit daunts me.
But, at the end of the day, I step out on the streets of New York and my lips turn up into a smile. And my first weekend stepping out on the town I felt was befitting of a New Yorker, or at least one taking the lifestyle for a test-drive. My first week at work really wasn't bad considering it started on a Wednesday that ended with my five person department eating the best birthday cake ever--mint chocolate chip ice cream with a chocolate cake lining. The week ended with our department rushing to get our work done at 7 (we are the evening shift so our hours are 2pm to 11pm) in order to make it to the company party. The party itself was at this beautiful locale on Chelsea Piers, but after the free food and booze they unwisely chose a run-of-the-mill American bar for the after party. I hung out with the only other Hispanic guy in the company and we whined about the music, it was great.
