ホームシック

You know, I have so many ideas during the day it’s scary to think that I lose most of them before I can get home and blog them. That’s why I’ve taken to carrying a notebook around to jot down my thoughts before I forget them. However, forgetting is not the frustrating part. The frustrating part is when I finally sit down in front of the computer, ready to blog, but I just don’t have the heart for it anymore. It’s like getting performance anxiety when you’ve finally talked the girl you like out of her clothes. [ooh I just so love analogies ]

So, I’ve decided to write in little snippets. Maybe that will help.

Today was my first day at CITI. My company has been drafted to attend lessons there for the next two months. It’s a pretty good deal, considering that we get to stay out of camp. Ever since I heard about it last year, I’d been looking forward to it.

Hm… The things we learn are mostly hands-on. The lessons for these next few days are about constructing artificial ceilings much like those you see in offices. I sort of like this DIY stuff. It makes me feel manly. Haha.

I was thinking about the possibilities this course will offer me in the future. If I ever become bankrupt, at least I will still have the skills to work for low wage as construction labour. In other words, I’ll never be out of a job. While the majority of my peers might take part-time jobs as waiters (classic), office handymen or cashiers at Macdonald’s, I’ll try to find work as a plumber or something. The pay should be higher. If they offer part-time, that is.
