Day 2: repeat
Offices aren't built that same way as playgrounds, the occupants happiness and need for fresh air are rarely considered. Monkey bars are out of the question. Yet somehow I thought this summer would be a walk in the park.
I'm not as hopeless as this sounds, internships are good experience, and this one especially will open doors for me. I'm meeting nice people and lots of people, and my Chinese is getting better. Hopefully my growing collection of business cards, if preserved and organized with care, will sell for millions someday: "wow, you have Badger's rookie card! hao lihai!"
We have a case of Texas Select in the office, and though I'm the only one who drinks it, I need something to get me through. It's the best non-alcoholic beer I've ever had at 9am.
Reflecting upon my last post, it was so upbeat. It's hard to enjoy the beach when all the sunlit hours are spent in a changeless grey cubicle.
My future hopefully lies in a job that I can believe in, one that gives me energy instead of taking it away. That's probably one of the greatest lessons to take away from this summer, and echoes advice that someone once gave me: 'finding out what you don't want to do is almost more important that finding what you do want to do.' Well said.
Ok, this time I really promise a more uplifting post within the next couple of days. That said, I won't rule-out another downer within that timeframe as well.
bright spots: coworkers, lunchtime, 5pm ping-pong, hula dancers, biking to work, thunderstorms, Taiwanese news programs
