How strange it is, working in some place where you have very little feeling for the product that it's hawking. Until now, I've always worked in places where i really felt that what they were doing made a difference, that what i did was somehow special and potencially important to a lot of people. Where my hobby and my work where one.

Now I just have a job, a Boring, uninteresting job with silly small office politiking to boot. First time that I look at my watch around 17:00 wondering when it will be 18:30 so that I can continue with my life again. How strange to think that this is the reality for the mayority of people where there job is just that.. Their job... No wonder they get freaked... Spending 8 to 10 hours of your day in something you don't care about and don't feel you can control...

Side effect of this is that i now have the feeling I have a life besides my work again... Or at least, i want to think i do, since there is little satisfaction in my work. I now WANT to do things besides working.

However i doubt that I can continue to work in a project that has so little apeal to me for an extended amount of time, currently it's good since it IS a good chalenge. The first time officially manageing people, first time having the responsability for manageing a department with all it's administrative details, first time setting up procedures, rules and regulations... That's interesting... For now.

Maybe the work will change me, maybe i'll change the work.. it has to be seen.. However right now i think it will allow me to finish my university and look good on my CV...
