Tomorrow, the day of my liberty

That's pretty much what I've been doing every day for the past 9 weeks. Sad, I know.Tomorrow I will be set free. Free from the shackles of ehrmm my summerjob. It might not seem as a big day for the common man, but to me it is the day my creativity and brain functions is switched back on from their current sleep mode. I'm not sure how they will respond to this, but I hope not too bad.

1 week of freedom. That's what I get. Maybe I shouldn't even call it freedom. It's more like a temporary release, or a move from one shackle to the next. You all know what I'm talking about. School.

I must admit, though, I exaggerate a lot when I blog. I just can't help it. The words come to me, and I just hav to type them. And I found the stories get so much better. Don't you? The truth is I actually like school. No, of course I don't like everything about school, but for the most part, I do like school.

I never liked this job, though. I think it's because it's killing my creativity. There's no room to create anything new here. The routines are all set, pretty much a machine should be able to do it. Why they haven't actually put a robot in here instead of us expensive humans I guess just shows how non-creative this environment is.

So by now you all ask "But where do you work?" I will tell you. I'm employed by Manpower, a recruiting firm. I work for one of their clients, Xerox. Xerox has many 'sites' located at different large companies who wants to outsource their document divisions. One of these sites is at St. Jude medical. That's where I work. Here, I recieve orders through a printer. I take it out, copy it, and start printing the manuals specified on the order. When it's all printed, I might have some cutting to do, and then I package it. Then I start over with the next order, and so on. That's pretty much what I've been doing every day for the past 9 weeks. Sad, I know.

Hopefully, by next week I will have some nice vector calculations to solve instead. Hmm.... I can't wait!?
