| | - Track 11: Swallowed In The SeaAlright so it's been a while since my last entry, and honestly, I've just been too lazy to update it. By the time I'm done working all day and going to the gym afterwards, I'm usually pretty tired to do anything, let alone have enough energy to conjure up a xanga entry from deep within the wrinkles of my brain. I really have no excuse though, cuz I could easily write an entry while I'm at work, since I'm online all day anyway. However, that would require typing, which in turn requires the use of two hands, and I'd rather much just check my mail and browse facebooks, myspaces, and other people's xangas, which only requires the mouse and the use of only one hand. So to complete this circular defense of my lack of dedication, I've just been too lazy.
Speaking of work, work is pretty lax right now. I'm basically just going through this self-guided training on the computer for this financial management software they created. But man, is the material bland and dry. It's a lot of text and not very interactive. There aren't many graphics or visuals to occasionally poke your brain, so pretty much my brain shuts down and stops responding after a while, until a new IM window suddenly pops up on my screen and catches my attention. Furthermore, the information within the material is underwhelming cuz it's mainly all financial and accounting jargon, that I can't decipher, like "account rollups." What the hell is that? I only know "fruit rollups," so it's all gibberish if you ask me. Yup, it's all pretty dry and frustrating, and I mean dry and frustrating like when someone cuts into a freshly cooked steak before letting it rest and lets all the juices run out. Someone definitely let the juices run out on this one.
But all in all, the process of learning it is chill because you pretty much go at your own pace. No one really checks up on you or pays much attention to you. It might be because everyone's just busy with their own stuff right now, or so I'd like to think. It's almost as if they forgot they hired me, and sometimes I feel compelled to say "Hi, remember me?" But I get deterred by the embarassing possiblity that they might reply with a "Who?"
