What My Work Has Done For Me So Far

Okay. So I forgot to mention that I was employed now. I'm a Systems Administrator for a Retail Company. I've learned a few useful things during my one month on the job.

1) Training is useless
  • I came into this company with everything I know already in my brain.
  • I was pushed into the fire with no know-how whatsoever about the company's operations.
  • I did not go through any training whatsoever yet still I managed to survive this long. (Although, it's still too early to tell.)
2) Learn New Things
  • On my second day, I was asked to revamp the website. Although I knew how to do basic HTML, it was not enough for the company's CEO.
  • I learned Flash, Photoshop, CSS, and a little PHP just to get what the big boss wanted.
  • The HR Manager of the company wanted me to develop an HRIS (Human Resource Information System) for her use.
  • I have no idea what the hell it is so I googled it. I read and read until I found OrangeHRM. It's an open source HRIS system developed initially for Linux. However, since it was PHP based, it can be (and I did it) implemented in Windows.
3) Make Friends at the Office
  • On my first day, I was introduced to a number of people around the office. I'm really bad at names but later on, I could remember everyone.
  • I hang out with 4 chicks. The 4 most beautiful and somewhat powerful women at the office.
  • Consequences...Nobody questions my DTR. Nobody asks why I don't show up. I'm never alone. I have reasons to look forward to going to the office.
And there you have it. I'm pretty sure my life sounds boring. And it is. So fuck you and fuck the world. I love Torrents!
