My take on work...

If I have a choice, I want to stay in school forever. This internship, while interesting at times and slightly beneficial has gotten me thinking A LOT! Given that this is a big organisation I'm working for, I just think that there are many layers to clear before you can do something.

On top of that, I just think that it is very hard to send msg across. Like in school, if you want something done, you would do it yourself if necessary. But in an organisation, you would first have to feedback to the relevant dept, who may/may not pass on the msg and yada yada yada... so...

The thing is I spent weeks doing something, only to run simple tests on them. Or not even test... it is like writing a long and complicated formula with loads of macros only to calculate perhpas what '1+1='. It just seems like a lot of wasted effort. Where are the crunching numbers that I am supposed to interpret? Somehow, this dept simplifies a lot of things I learnt. Which further highlights the difference between school and work. Things are just different. Or maybe I just have this thought that work life is challenging and mind boggling. Right.. I spend one qurter of my time there using my brains and the other three quarters doing brainless work.
