Well, I had my first Watercooler conversation today. At least I think that's what it was. Aren't those the impromptu conversations you have at a random location in the office about work-related things? I guess it had to happen at some point. That would make sense, since I am, afterall, working. It was kind of surreal, since I don't usually feel like I'm old enough to be working. Typically I keep my work in my office, and work with people in other cities, so most of it's done by email and phone. (Hence why this was an out-of-the-ordinary experience.)
My boss (in another city) has been out sick this week, so that leaves me to pretty much hold down the fort. I want to ask them if they think it's ok for a recent college grad to hold it down. Apparently they think it's normal. Weird.
I just had one of those flashback moments where I was in college, I came home in between classes, and then headed out to Sing Practice, Choir Practice, Sonic Happy Hour, or Visit with Friends, or some combination of all of those. To think that not to long ago, that was my life...it's very strange.
Now, I sit at a desk and listen to three-hour conference calls, make plans with big companies, and take care of myself. It's very surreal, and somtimes I question how I got here, and if this is really my life. Apparently it is.
I think this is what they call a "stream of consciousness" post. Welcome to my head.
Tonight, Roomdog and I are heading to another friend's house to watch American Idol. I'm excited because I think they are showing Dallas auditions. Maybe I'll catch a glimpse of myself on TV. I should probably post about my A.I. experience soon. Coming soon to this blog near you.
