>> ... << John Coltrane's "I Think"
alright already
So so so. I've been blessed with the return of my blogging Muse. She came to me when BernDiesel told me today that she believed I was working in San Francisco for the past 2 weeks. I immediately realized it was time to talk a little about 'work'.
Accenture is my employer.
San Ramon is my location.
Cell #10-3 is my cubicle.
Nine-West is the brand of my shoes.
40-45-50 is the number of hours I work per week.
No joking around this summer. The whole 9-10 hours at the Cube are spent producing MR's (maintenance requests) and spreadsheets for our "clients"--e.g. the California Government. My project maintains the electronic billing system for the telephone service for every government agency in the state--DMV, UC Berkeley, elementary schools-- you name it, we monitor the local/long distance bills for that agency.
Work is awesome. It makes me use my analytical skills and my mind is stimulated. It's just like school in that I'm doing problems all day and my mind's engaged, except that I get paid.
Well there are drawbacks. Less variety at work. Not a new adventure every day. But last summer taught me not to expect that. So i'm not so upset that my life is somewhat less exciting than it is during the semester.
I saw Victor on Sunday for the first time in about 3 weeks. It was good to see him. It also made me realize, however, the big changes that have taken place in my life as a result of the start of my internship. Victor, as always, had the same great stories to tell. Ex: Leading a team building session of some people in high places so that they might fund a chat room on the United Nations website whose purpose is to empower young girls. Dope huh? yeah that's victor everyday.
I used to have stories like that. "I went to a photographer's house today...I went on a bike ride through the Haight...I found a U-Lock...I read Siddhartha...I read Demian..."
I can't share as many stories with Victor anymore, and that makes me a little disappointed in myself. But i'm not unhappy or frustrated with the fact that my internship is taking so much of my time. I do what i can.
