First day of real life?
Nov. 6th, 2006 09:51 pmToday was the first day of having a paid job in America, and indeed the first one since leaving university. My first day at - wait for it - WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYcan (ref. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kingradix, who I have no doubt will count the "Y"s) consisted of installing a heap of software on the laptop that I'll be using.
It was meant to be more than that, but Eclipse provided the sticking point in the middle because I had forgotten how awkward it was to set up. It took three of us gathered round the computer to work out what it meant by helpful messages like "Cannot find framework" and "An error has occurred. I won't say what it is. Memorize this handy twelve-digit number, go to the log files and work it out for yourself."
One thing I noticed about the office is that on the fridge, there's a large warning sign showing a red X across some toddlers crawling into a left-open fridge door. Someone has stuck a Post-it note to it saying "Do not use the office fridge to store children." I think I'm going to like it there.
The journey is an hour on the Boston subway system either way, which feels like a lot but will be something I get used to. I'm not sure why I'm quite so exhausted at the moment, as the day consisted of pretty much what I do every day anyway.
