Is there an alternative to work? :)

Postby BigBrother on Mon Jun 01, 2009 8:44 pm

First day of work and it seems like hell - commuting distance, amount of information I need to process (just on the first day, now imagine a whole year), waking up at 4.30am... Can't I sleep, wake up and surf the net and get money? Someone should tell Bill Gates for me that we need to trade places. I think I will enjoy a life of fighting for causes I believe in.

4:30 is pretty tough although that's when i usually start to sleep and then wake up again at 6:30. It will get easier as the year goes by :)
Yeah, fighting for causes is satisfying, but doesn't usually pay.
What did they make you do?

The time you sleep and wake up are pretty tough. I should not complain o.
They made me do what I did not do in university, listen to one person talk for 5 hours (my head was spinning by the time he was done - without eating breakfast, we went for lunch at 4pm), I had to listen to some boring concepts about the company and it's practices for a couple of hours that was easy to grasp but I just did not want to put my mind to it. I guess I'm just being lazy. I guess my body will adapt for the next 7 weeks that the training is supposed to last. University wasn't his bad :)

So insensitive for someone to talk for 5 hours. Don't they know about the concentration span of human beings? Not good strategy. i hope people are taking notes to retain.

I managed to take notes before I fell asleep :). Some others took the complete thing, will update from them.

i'm still hung up at the thot of u waking up at 4.30 that's crazy i strongly advise u find a place close to work. 9ja is stressful as it is and u need all the rest u can get to be productive. Do u know that sleep deprivation is almost as bad as being intoxicated?! with impaired judgement and all the works!
