Ok, so I have finally managaed to deal with college and get into work. My job is interesting, to say the least. Mostly because we have one very incompetant member of staff, in a very important position. For those of you who don't know, I work in a Quality Assurance Lab, as an Analytical Lab Technician. We check all the products made by manufacturing before they can be sent out to the customers. However, our head of manufacturing is an idiot. He refuses to stick to the Time Table he is provided (even though QA are his boss, and we need sampls done to our schedule do to the nature of the products we produce) and so things end up coming in late, or wrong, or both late and wrong. It is hilarious for me, who obviously, is in a position that can't be blamed, and refuses to get stressed about my job. But it can be a pain. I have been sat on my arse all day playing Golf on the PC. Why? Because a product is days late to the customer. Manufacturing screwed up the making of it. Because we demanded they take it back and fix it, their head had a tantrum (yes apparently he is 5 and three quarters). This means he refused to do anymore work on it. of course, it is very high priority because it is late, and so it needs to be turned round as fast as possible. My Manager told me to stay in the lab on stand by, so we didn't waste a single second on the analysis. However, all the jobs i had left were out of the lab, so I ended up doing nothing. Aaaaaaaaall day. And still, when I finally get a sample, at 3pm, which is too late to do anything on it, because this type of chemistry takes time, the initial results show it is still fucked up. So Monday, it will have to go back to Manufacturing, and the whole thing will have to be done again. Joy.

However, despite the irritation. I love my job. Ok, I don't love it. I find it rather boring. I look forward to Fridays with a passion not known to me before. But I like the feeling I get from it. I like working with people who are (mostly) in my age bracket, or of my intellegence, or share my interests. I go to college with 16 year olds who can't egt into their schools sixth form. They are all (but a few) chavs. None of them are interested in much, other than shooting things in the gaming modules. I find myself intellectually stunted. I find myself bored by them. But at work, I feel I can thrive mentally. I enjoy my break time, talking literature with some of the guys from the other lab. I like talking music with the other tech in my lab. I just love it. :)
