so I’ve been working at this firm for the last 2 weeks or so, it’s been an amazing learning experience. you get a good sense of what it’s like to be in the industry and what is expected.. well actually you don’t reallly get a feel for it.. not me atleast, I don’t know if I’m working faster or slower than what is expected, but maybe I’ll find out down the road.

you learn a lot of different things when you try something new or different. along with my architecture job I also work at sporting life uptown. I basically just work there to maintain my discount and to have a social experience working.. when I’m at the office, or working from home.. I’m literally glued to the computer for 4 to 12 hours a day.

I learned that I’m pretty good with sales and convincing people to buy $2000 ski jackets, or $60 blanket hugo boss t-shirts (overkill/10). My first day at sporting life was pretty bad.. I was so nervous I couldn’t speak properly.. I remember saying “do you need a coat for that size?? instead of do you need a size for that coat?” I felt like a loserrrr.. the next day.. went greatttt.. I all of a sudden became in love with my job and everything just seemed brighter.

two months later and I’m running out of excuses to skip work to go into the office.. does that mean I’m going to get sick of this job? hopefully not.. I got kind of scared when I felt 100% more lazier after spending an entire weekend working on a project for work and as soon as paycheque. But I finally sat down and told myself “hey, I need to work hard to make everyone else life around me easier, can’t afford to lose work”

This is very true.. whenever I’m out with my friends, I’m starting to pay for everything.. why? I don’t know.. maybe its balancing the image of looking smug working at an office before most of my friends .. or I’m just that nice of a guy.. $50 dinner? sure.. round of bubble teas? whatever..

It does make me feel good to be thanked (maybe I just do it to be praised).. I know where that money comes from and what it took to earn it..

theres alot of stuff I want, but first, I need to take care of a few things and a few people.. what I want can wait. I hope.
