So technically work computers and internet are not to be used for personal use...but no one takes that too seriously, right? I actually once read a statistic that said about 70% of non-work-related-computing-at-work is porn downloading, so at least I haven't stooped that far. (this statistic was likely pre-social networking) Though frankly soon I might. You see, while I usually could care less about techno-specific gadget details, this is monitor is literally the size of a television. Having spent the past year and a half on a 10.1" netbook, I am still in awe. It's actually pretty sexy. Dudes in highschool who decorated their dorms with nothing but a gaming system while I was out scavenging for the perfect neon pink sheets and posters- I think I get it. Not to mention it's bigger than everyone elses. Ha!
Actually it's nice because I can now feel that my job is important and sophisticated, aided by the fact that I just moved into a larger office with a corner desk and a wheely chair. This is of course blatantly untrue, as I am a mere intern and probably the least productive of the interns at that, but hey, we all need goals. Oh, and tomorrow I'm finally getting a BAMF security badge because our building now has a seperate entrance for the Nuclear Disarmament people downstairs. Win.
Come to think of it, I could easily make the argument that this is work related. I mean, you tell me you wouldn't need practice typing on a keyboard that looks like this:
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Time to go now though. Facility closes at 8PM and I've heard that they set the dogs out on anyone here later. Probably untrue, but let's not actually find out. (Oh, the joys of working on the same campus as three nuclear reactors)
