Getting Used to It

It’s been more than two weeks since I had to wake up at 7:30 AM every morning of the weekdays and I can say I’m happily alright with that time. Stating this, I have to also sleep by 1 AM at latest in order to fulfill this early awakening. I’ve been able to make myself go to sleep by 12:30 AM all but one time and that one time was a tad bit late and I did pay for it… the next day, I was tired by 11 PM. In any case, it looks like my schedule will permit me to stay up until 12:30 and then it’s bed time for me… until I get used to the time and able to sleep in shorter hours.

Work’s been great and I continue to enjoy my job there. There are times when it’s challenging and there are times when it’s relaxing. I think it’s the same with most places. I’ll be getting my first pay this Friday. Hooray for working for money!

Chelsea came down to Tampa this week and it was a great weekend. Yup, I enjoyed it very much and she did too. Saw The Proposal on Saturday and Transformers on Sunday. Both are good movies and I recommend them. I would even recommend The Proposal over Year One and I personally find The Proposal having more comedy moments than Year One… and Year One is suppose to be a comedy show O_o Unacceptable. I can’t say I’m all pleased with Transformers, but I would say I definitely enjoyed it a little more than the first one (which I bought just to watch).

All in all, two weeks of fun and next week, I’ll be in Tampa and Chelsea will be visiting some family in Kentucky. Too bad I can’t go >_< Well, next week would more than likely be another cleaning weekend. Until then, I’m going to relax. Spider-Man: Web of Shadows died on me while saving and froze my PS3. Time to try it again.

Web Designer: I Love My Job

I love my job. It’s only been a week, so it could be the “new job” feeling. I enjoy what I do, the same as I have in my other job, but the difference is that I could see this as my career, doing this for the rest of my life. Not necessarily at this one place, though at this moment, I could see myself being here for quite some time, but as a web designer.

Well, just posting good news. Oh, and I have Twitter now. So, welcome to follow me at twitter.com/matsuke. If I know you, more than likely I’ll follow you too. If not, that’s fine. I’m not posting anything crazy up. So far, it’s been a lot more about web stuff than anything.

Some times, I feel people actually don’t know how to responsible of other people’s items. I say this because I’ve had many bad experiences and with close friends of mine. I’m at that crossroad again where I have to decide to be a nice person or to say no, I’m not lending the person something I like a lot, especially something that I would get really mad over if it wasn’t back to me the same condition when it left my hands. Dilemma dilemma. Oh well, I’ll be nice now and if it doesn’t work again, I guess I could always just get my money back some how.

Back to Tampa

Today was a good first day at my new place as a Jr. Web Designer. Different environment and different settings. I just couldn’t get used to the work just yet. I was working, but I was working going at 80MpH. I should probably slow down. I’m so used to concentrating on one thing at Techrangers when I have something to do. Today, I had something to do, and I was concentrating on it. A little too much probably, eyes got a little tired toward the end of the day.

This weekend is all about cleaning. I’m going to be sneezing 10 times 20 times. Yes, 1o times 20 times.

AAAHHHCCCCHHHHOOOO!!!!!!!

Pizza Party and the Last Day

Today (Wednesday), my we had a pizza party as a going away. Tomorrow is my last day of work. I wonder how I will work. Will I work hard and do as much as I can, will I slack-off, or will I have a difficult time working because I won’t be in that room with the same people around me ever again?

I sure will miss those guys, especially some of those that I’ve grown to work well with and have a great working relationship with.

I hope I have made some kind of impact for the Techrangers and for my co-workers.

Countdown until a New Career

There is nothing more exciting for a college graduate than to get a job soon after graduating. That is me, and I’m counting down to the days I enter into what I would wish and love to be my career. I will be entering as a Jr. Web Designer. In current economy times, many people struggle and talk about economy negatively while loosing their jobs. I am very fortunate to gain a job, and I hope that this is not only a job, but a career. Being a Web Designer is what I want as a career. I want to go out there and make beautiful and pretty web sites, but also keeping everything on the web sites meaningful.

One more week left. In a week, I will say farewell to my fellow co-workers that I’m currently working with and saying hello to new co-workers. New company, new policy, new work environment, new city… new for a work place. I’m actually going back to the city I left to go to college, pretty ironic and funny.

This new job is not only a job. I see this as a career. The reason is because it’s what I want to do and what I like to do. Career  and jobs are different, at least the way I see it. So, what is important to you at a work place? To many, what once to be a career became their job and the repetitive work becomes mundane. I do not wisht to become like that. I hope that this new job that I have, I will always see it as my career every day I go to work. It’s not only work, it’s also a place to grow as an individual, to learn new things, and also to contribute to society (through the company that pays me of course). I am going to be the best Jr. Web Designer that I can ever be, so good that I would be seeing the drop in Jr. and becoming a reliable Web Designer. I want to be challenging what the world has to offer and sit up there as designers of the world. Yes, this is a challenge to myself and to those who are well known. I am not sitting idly letting this opportunity pass by. I will use this to make my family proud of me.

I am going to miss my co-workers. I hope there will be opportunities for me to visit them. I have ’till Thursday to cherish my time there. I will make the most out of it ^_^
