The first week of work is in the books. Ugh. I am very much not down with this whole "waking up before the sun" garbage. However, the whole "getting paid thing" is a defenite upshot.

So I slept a bunch during work, half slept, drank loads of coffee to not sleep or was so bored I wished I was sleeping. Oh, and I'm wondering why I bothered to get a degree at all. My teacher type guy spent about 15 minutes today explaining how his nested ifelse statements worked. Now, to someone who isn't in compsci/compEng or something where programming is an important part of your degree, I can see needing a little aside to understand ifelse. Its reasonably intuitive, but if its new, you still need it. However, a room full of people who have spent at least four years programming, really don't need that. That's just an example but the past two days have been like that. Unrelenting explanations that are geared to us about 4 years ago. It makes me want to hurt him.

And developing for them is somewhat similar to playing with lincoln logs. I take premade components, slap them together then hook them up with lines. A monkey could do this. I'm so glad I spent four years getting a degree so I could do this.

Argh....

And that's all I've done. Its been a boring, lame week. Hopefully things will start getting better. Or maybe I'll just start going into work drunk. It always seems to work in movies.
