I’m sitting at work with the realization, once again, that I really have no intention of getting a desk job for the rest of my life. This internship is far better than Aramco last summer since I’m actually working on things pertaining to my major, but focusing on a computer screen all day and only leaving your seat for lunch break, bathroom break, or water break is not the life I desire. Although I did get to work on some interesting and fun stuff for a facebook campaign this week. I got to make up hypothetical facebook groups and interests that would be categorized with a given stereotypes. I also made slogan and status updates for various company’s facebook pages. I worked over time, didn’t take lunch breaks, and even enjoyed the long hours of being creative and researching funny blogs for ideas.
But the days flip back and forth from busy to not, and a boring day is more frustrating than annoying because I hate wasting a day in an office when I’m in a foreign country. Adventure, travel, and excitement is what I want to do with the years I’m here, and that realization has been highlighted this summer on Thursdays through Sundays. Traveling livens me up, and waking up early to catch a flight beats the hell out of waking up early to sit at my desk. I know you gotta start at the bottom of the food chain before you get to the big stuff, but I was cleaning out closets and scanning contracts last summer, so can we skip to the business trips and all that good stuff now?
