Tuesdays..

Okay, maybe some jobs are eternal first days (see First Days - 01/26/09 blog entry). The days that I don't like my work here by far outnumber the days that i do like my job...or internship..or slave labor..whatever. It makes me wonder: Is my judgment that off? Was I too optimistic? Or am I, right now, too pessimistic? I wrote my parents a somewhat dramatic email - promptly my mom called and we chatted half-an-hour-in-hell's-portal away....Okay no, I can't say that..that would make my "co-workers" little demons......okay, no! Stop it, me!! There is simply not enough for me to do..so I work v e r y s l o w...and the things I do are too simple data entry/checking/double checking stuff. Oh, how I remember my schools internship coordinator saying "There is no strategic aspect in this internship description" to which I smart-mouthly answered "Well, does a company not have the freedom to add that later??" while I should have said "oooooh no! Thank you for warning me... I will gladly forgo my 6 month New York big city adventure and the daily struggle to NOT poke out my eyes, out of pure boredom...and the increasing tendency to trow my ancient (correction: pre-historic) PC out of the window. ('Dangit, I left all my floppy disks somewhere in the Dutch city's trash collection site, if only I had known...).
So yes, this Friday I'm at my internship-mid-point ..just 10 more weeks to go..A lot can happen in 10 weeks - trying to stay positive here. And a lot can not happen..Anyway, unlike my starting point for this whole ordeal..I'm not here for my internship..I'm here for New York (and whatever adventure God did have in mind for me, because clearly ESCADA was a nice wrapping of a much much better gift: New York, New Friends, New Life Experience) - and I'm loving it.
