Week 1 @ School

I survived my first week at work!

Every night before going to bed, I had to set my alarm and constantly remind myself not to forget about going to school the next morning. It was a very strange feeling. If I didn’t do that, I really would’ve forgotten to go to work on Tuesday…

Even though the first week was pretty easy, every night I was so tired that I fell asleep while watching TV. These days I only got an average 6-hours sleep per day (school anxiety?); no wonder I pooped out in the evening. Well, also I was so used to being with myself and David and not having to talk much. Even though I’m quite fond of my new co-workers, it did take some time and effort to get back to the society mentally and physically. (Somehow my new-workers all thought that I’m talkative; I don’t know where they got that illusion.)

I continued brainstorming how to improve my cube. Feng Shui-wise, it really sucks. However, my little panda and its buddies did an excellent job to fend off bad Chi and attract good Chi. They still have a lot of friends at home; maybe I should make them a big happy family by bringing the rest over, so they can form an even stronger force.

Oh, yes, now I know that I have a big cube (due to the funny layout and odd location), I can certainly use a Totoro pen holder on my desk. And since I have peer pressure from my Chinese co-workers to have lunch together, I do need a Hello Kitty lunch bag. (We are working on a conspiracy theory to turn the engineering department Chinese. ) More back to school shopping to do this weekend!
