Almost a week.

Hmmm…I have some reasons to celebrate. I do. Not a lot of you would understand this, but it is quite a task for a flake such as myself to stick to one thing. Stay in one place.
It’s been a week since I started working. Actually, a job. So far, I was in an environment which was largely guided by self-made rules and regulations. For a transition to happen at this juncture of my life is kind of surreal.
To top it all, it’s been a week now. YES. I would be celebrating my one week work anniversary in my workplace that I’m still trying to figure out. Not too fond of it yet, but there’s solace in company.
I have been introduced to some warm individuals here. They really believe it’s a basic thing to be warm and friendly. I was honestly taken aback. Maybe I’m not that warm and friendly myself. Maybe all the good people are here. Either ways, it’s good.

I had a strange experience, in fact, it’s still strange. It’s a 10 am to 6:30 pm bout. Never imagined I’d restrict my work to measly hours.

There are protocols. Yes, you heard that right. Protocols to monitor movements. Stipulated breaks throughout the day. I have never been monitored before. It kills my vibe.

What? I have a vibe? That’s new. Never thought being a millenial I would have a classic Gen-z condition. I guess it all comes with time. I usually vibe with immortality. I do so many things that it automatically makes me feel like I might live forever.

Anyways, it’s been four days since I have joined this place. I was tempted to ask if my salary was deposited. That’s how many days I feel I have spent here. Mostly I would stare at the digital clock. It would amuse you to know that I don’t even have much to look forward to when I’m off-work. But thanks to this job, now I look forward to leaving soon.

I have already been told that i report late. Twice. I considered saying those two magical words. But then I think about certain things which are not so pleasing.

I am currently waiting for something. Something that could either be better, or could change things for worse.

More on that in the next one.

See you.
