Well, I’m contracted under Nexus working for IBM working at CISCO.

I had two training sessions…and yeah think it went smoothly apart from the bit where my trainer went "You guys must have an awesome memory, because when I was doing this I was taking heaps of notes". Yeah…

The kitchen is awesome, unlike some of the other companies I’ve worked at…which just had coffee these guys have their kitchen packed. They have cereal for people who want to have breakfast and 3 fridges. One fridge is filled with milk, another fridge filled with Soft Drinks and another drink filled with Juices. They also have this place for cookies, pretzels and other random stuff. Yup…free food is always good.

We ended up talking to one of the people and got our training shifted to the 21st since we have exams and stuff. Did I mention that I’ll also be getting a laptop? I’m not sure what the specs are but I know the model and it’s a T60. The specs for the T61 involves 2gb ram, 128 mb gfxcard, core 2 duo processor. Which is pretty decent. Hopefully the T60 isn’t that under speced. According to Cnet though there’s 1 gb of ram, 2ghz core duo processor, 128mb gfxcard and it’s 2.8kg. Well a free laptop is a free laptop :P

Well I really should be studying for my exams, currently I’ve only really studied for Calculus, barely touched psychology and need to start on the rest :P There’s going to be a study session for COSC on monday so I’ll attend that apart from that I think I should be relatively fine.

I also managed to get the Timetabling Job for USYD, however, I rejected it and asked if there were any casual positions available. They did, and I took that up :) So hopefully, I’ll be making a fair bit of money over the Summer Holidays :D Overtime ftw! They pay us 1.5x for overtime and 2x for public holidays. I only get paid 20 bucks an hour though…so that sucks…but meh, can’t complain…free laptop and food. So yeah…40bucks on Christmas…if I work 8 hours…then it’ll be 320 bucks! W00t!

Anywho, enough talk about money, I need to be able to do the job…it seems rather hectic, have to know all these stuff…new stuff…and they use Internet Explorer 6 rather than 7 so there’s no tabs. I’ll have to use my Alt-Tab skills rather than my Ctrl-Tab skills :( I hate Alt-tab, it’s sooo lame. I especially hate using programs where the tabbing feature isn’t implemented…like PDF readers and window managers…it’s not hard!

Can’t wait until exams are over. Speaking of exams, 3 more days until HSC is OVER!!! w00t!!!

Anywho, Ciao.
