Right now, I’m on a holding period until I can officially work. Until now, it’s all been more of an unpaid internship type of roll just so I can check out what the company does and how it operates. The wait is killing me though. I’m more than capable of keeping myself entertained in the interim, but not having something to do on a daily basis is torture. It also has something to do with not earning my keep. Not having that day to day responsibility that depends on whatever it is that you are supposed to do in order to keep the ship floating smoothly.
I think the typical person of my age and stature would fill his or her time with mindless self-indulgence in watching movies and sleeping in late. Now I won’t lie and say that I haven’t done these things during this downtime, but it’s happened not very often. When I do, I feel lazy to the extent that I’m letting more than just myself down. There just has to be something that I can be doing or working on in some way shape or form. It’s probably why I have been posting here as much as I have been.
There’s also something to be said about feeding my mind. Making sure that I don’t let myself get rusty and feel comfortable with my current situation. It’ll be a whole new experience making the daily commute to get to work everyday regardless what shape I’m in when that day arrives. I’d just like to be prepared for it as much as humanly possible. More so, I just want to start earning a paycheck.
