here at the new company, there's a much better variety of free drinks. (snacks, by the way, are 25 cents each at the vending machine.) and i spied in my friend william's cube a small juice box that had chinese writing on it. it was white with blue lettering. i asked him what it was, and i discovered that it was a soy drink.
and now? i'm hooked on it! it doens't taste that good (kind of bland, actually), but i'm on my second box already, and i plan to consume at least one more this afternoon. and what else? it's good for me! lots of protein! hehe.
so the job is going ok. i'm doing entirely synthesis work, and it's sort of a pain in the ass, actually. there are so many weird issues that pop up when dealing with other people's code, and it just feels out of control sometimes. but hey, i'm not really complaining, except for the fact that i'm supposed to get it done by tomorrow, and there's probably no way that's gonna happen.
i'm starting to *really* like _outback jack_. not because of the hot girls (i don't think any of them are hot, except for laura who got booted off in the first episode), but i just like the show in and of itself. i'm not sure why, though. but i just have a lot of fun watching it.
my tics are very very bad. :(
this week has gone by very slowly. i can't believe it's only wednesday. because it *feels* like a thursday to me. maybe it's because i've been at work longer; i get in an hour earlier, and i leave around 7ish. which means i have been sleeping less, and it makes me more tired. oh well, i'll adjust.
one so-so aspect of this company is that it provides lunch in its own cafeteria. and it's like 25 cents an ounce or something like that, plus tax. the cost of my lunch today? $2.98. yup. that's hella cheap! i mean, the food wasn't fantastic or anything (today it was spicy pork, korean-style), and at least it'll be harder for me to justify skipping meals when i can get one for under $3 on-site.
