"Lightning just struck my brain."--Smee
MENIAL LABOR SUCKS. My summer job is working at the local water/wastewater company. On the surface, that sounds interesting. But I am working with a subset of people who are trying to take the GPS points of all the water shutoff valves in the city. All, oh, I don't know, about fifty thousand of them. Which means my day consists of...
7:50 am--show up for work, check email
8:10 am--leave in car with three other interns, begin taking GPS points of every key box in the grid
12:30pm --stop for lunch
1:30 pm--go back to work
5:00 pm--leave
It is so mind-numbingly boring I think I'm going to go insane. I wish I had books on tape on my ipod, because then I could a least enjoy the day. But then I might be rude to my partner. My brain cells are decaying, I can feel it.
But at least I'm getting paid for my rotting brain cells. Sixteen bucks (plus chump change) and hour is not bad for a summer internship. I think as time goes on it will get better. Or I'll expect less. Probably the latter. I think the true reason I'm going to college is to avoid situations like this.
