So I just started my first full time job as the 5th employee (or possibly 4th, I’m not exactly sure) at a startup called Photometria located in La Jolla. My first project when I got there yesterday was to set up my desk. Following that, I set up 3 more similar desks and then went ahead to start setting up some computers. Keep in mind now, my job title is “Web programmer”…I’ve been “day laborer” up until now…
Anyway, so far it’s been pretty cool. I think the job fits me (I say this despite the fact that I haven’t written a single line of code). I get home everyday pretty tired, but I guess that comes with the territory. Can’t think of anything else interesting to write right now, kind of drained. I’ll stop here.

I totally hear ya. I’m a fucking slave for these bastards. I don’t mind the random errands here and there, but 4 years of schooling and I’m doing mindless data entry, research, writing, and phone calls to government agencies. There’s a bit of actual econ/math analysis in there somewhere, but not much. What the fuck though, for all the “extensive” knowledge I’ve accumulated through the years, the piece that my boss values the most: my writing skills?!?! What the fuck…moron…And here he picks the one subject that I couldn’t get A’s in, dumbass.

Hang in there (and welcome to the real world)
