job shadow dayy...ok lah

ok. so my job shadow day wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. gonna type my whole day so, beware of some redundant useless stuff that could also bore you and be prepared for a long post...ahahaha

got up..duh...got to school and then was deciding and thinking whether or not i should get my laptop. then, was looking out for the spitting guy. [no idea why though]
then decided not to get my laptop. saw johnna. ((=
then umm...everyone started getting into the classroom and kept asking ms foster abt whether there'd be study hall and why and what to during study hall. while all this was going on, was looking for the spitting idiot. no sign of him.

ms foster took the attendance and then guessed that the spitting idiot was out with his family for job shadowing day. then was ssr. had to read a book for 15 minutes and then study hall.

went down to the d&t room and saw the copying idiot. hahaha. i got some many idiot nicknames.
then did earthweek since i didn't have my laptop with me. 20 minutes before study hall ended, my nose began to bleed and befor it really would flow out, i looked for the mr h[dunno what his full name is] couldn't find cuz lil' did i know that he was way inside and ironically, the clear glass window camoflouged him. haha. so i was standing up looking around and the copying idiot was just staring at me. finally, i saw him. so asked him if i could go to the toilet. he said yes then i had trouble finding the girls' toilet on the basement floor. so i asked the janitor. hahaha. normally it would be janitors asking the students not the students asking janitors where is where. hahaha

then after study hall, went back up to ms foster's room to assemble for my job shadowing stuff. 10 minutes after mis foster took the attendance of who was in her group for taking the bus, she passed out qns sheets and name tag stickers.

several minutes after that, ms foster realized that half of the people job shadowing the marriot hotel was not in the right attire. the students that were going to the marriot hotel, were supposed to wair black and white and they specified that no denim[jeans] were worn.
HELLO!!? you never told them that. all you chers juz said to dress nicely. anyways, there were several pissed people who wore jeans and stuff. it was so stupid. they said that the people in jeans couldn't go for job shadowing. WTF! it's so unreasonable.

then, misha started tucking in his shirt cuz of the marriot hotel thing. then he like oh man, i don't look nice like this. i'm not tucking in my shirt. 5 minutes later, when a few people had calmed down from being pissed, misha started acting gay and was like i look like fag with my shirt tucked in. then everyone started laughing.

10 minutes later, the bus finally came and ms foster was saying that the people with jeans and stuff would most probably be behind the scenes. ahem. i doubt anyone wants to even be in the scene. hahaha

on the bus, everyine chatting. then sam talked abt ms coobs. it was super funny. finally, conner, sam and i was dropped off at national semi.

the stupid bus had to drop us at the gate cuz it couldn't get through. so, all three of us and the guidance councelor [not the perv looking one] had to walk to the main biulding in the moring coldness...not coolness. then there was this sign in sheet and the security guard there said that he made name tags for us by the company and we asked if we could keep them and they said sure. ((=

the sign-in sheet was so funny. sam signed in first and there was this part that said company. so sam asked the guidance councelor what do we put for company
and the guidance councelor was like, just put mahoney. then me and conner laughed.

then the guidance councelor left for the bus and sam saw some seats in the lobby and was like, oh. these are nice.
so, we all sat on them and a few minutes later, this lady [whose name i've forgotten] came to us and we were told again abt the name tags and then conner and sam using their hands to hide the one given by ms foster in class. then she said something about lunch and that she would let us have mountain dew and pizza and stuff and that the food would be better than school lunch...hmm..i think i already know that

then she told us abt our mentors and that one of us was gonna get this mentor who was currentely in a meeting. my mentor was this guy named tim. conner's, i've forgotten. sam's was darren..the one in the meeting. after knowing which mentor was going to who, all three of us went our seperate ways. conner had to help his mentor carry fax machines and sam went to the meeting. i, had to help tim re-wire his comp cuz he's sitting position was moved to somewhere else. then we carried this pc and moniters on a trolley from his end of the company to this other end which was the main biulding.

upon entering a section of the main building, we had to put on shoe covers. then we took the lift up and tim pushed the trolley to a corner and then showed me the fabrication room where they made microchips, waffles and stuff. then he showed me these posters outside of the fab room of the air filtration system. sadly, i didn't get to enter the room. heard that sam did though. sigh

then, tim pushed the trolley to this room that was 'deep' inside' the company. and then didn re-wire of a monitor. then he gave me a pair of goggles and we went into this other room which said something like

"CAUTION eye protection needed"

haha. so we wore our goggles and inside there was this old fat round guy who had truoble with his pc. so, tim took the pc on his trolley and changed them and re-wired them. during that process, tim got calls from this person telling him that he needed to bring me down to munch soon and that cinner and sam already was there eatting pizza.

finally, tim was done and we went off to eat lunch. then i asked him if he liked his job..

me: so, do you like your job?

tim: sometimes yah, sometimes no

me: would you ever say that you love your job

ok. his nxt reply was kind umm... "....." either he didn't hear me clearly or he didn't love his job...

tim: well, before i worked here, i worked at some other companies and before that i was a grocery shop manager.

me: when you were young was it your ambition to work here?

tim: yah. pretty much. when i was 10, i decided that i would work with comps when i grow up

________________

we then went for lunch. it was nice. i ate pizza and drank some iced tea. when i saw sam, he had two bottles of canadian dry. hahaha. he bought two sodas. then conner was holding this stress ball shaped like a hard head helmet and this comp chip. everyone at the lunch table talked about the chers at mahoney.
OMG!!! i don't believe it. they are like 20-30 yrs old and they still like to gossip about chers. hahahaha. really can't believe it.

then the lady we saw from the beginning of the day, showed up and was telling us that after eatting, she wanted to take a group photo of us. then tim was like,
i'm gonna look for some national [semiconducter] trinkets for you

hahaha. then the lady was saying that she would give us gift bags too.
woohooo! i think that our job shadow was the one to recieve the most stuff.

so when we went take a group shot, it was so funny..kinda.
we were thinking of where to take a pic and finally found a spot. then just as the lady was about to take a photo,

tim: do i have fod stuck between my teeth?

lady, darrel, other mentor: no tim

tim: ok

lady: ok, 1,2,3

tim: you it's better for me if you said cheese

lady: you know what? let's say pizza

everyone: ok

lady: ok, 1,2,3...

everyone: PIZZA!!!

lady: ok. we're done

tim: what kinda pizza?

lady: the one stuck between you teeth

____________

hahahaha. so funny. then the lady, me, sam and conner waitted for the bus
while waitting, conner started throwing his hard-head-helmet-shaped stress ball. then sam caught it and the two started to practise throwing it like throwing a baseball. then they played baseball. conner found this trig-branch and used it as a baseball bat. then sam threw the ball and then conner tried to hit it with the branch and the branch broke into two and so, conner was holding half of the branch. then conner broke that half into half pretending to be pissed that he didn't hit it.

then conner found another branch and this time hit it a foot away and then ran from tree to tree peretedning that they were the bases and then sam realized what he was doing and picked up the stress ball and then tried to make him lose. then the bus came. sigh.

that was my day. this really is a long post. gotta do hw now. byebyes!

-screw the whole world
