Try, just try

“Try. Try. Just try” That’s what I hear my supervisor at work, Terry Du, tell me every time he is done looking at what I do and after he makes a suggestion. I work for an interior design firm called VMC constructions. Because of the economic crisis, it is hard for firms to find work and jobs and so there isn’t work for me to do. Instead, most of them sit at their desks without internet and either play on their phone, look at photos that are on their computer, re-read documents, nap, and this one lady continues to just read over and over the company’s handbook. I actually have “work” and my assignment is to design a 5 star business hotel. It isn’t hard work, it is just like school, it’s fun… until Terry tells you to do something different. He tells me to do crazy and be crazy, so I give him crazy. Now he wants efficient. BORING!!! I’m tired of seeing firms not take a risk with their designs and fit into the cookie cutter mold. I understand that it has to do with money and there really is a large risk when you attempt to do things that we do in school, but then what’s the reason for the awesome stuff we do in school?! I hope this gets better cuz apparently I only have 2 more days to finish my design with complete Autocad drawings.

One of my roommates came in last night around midnight and I finally got to meet her. Caitlin is her name and she is from England and many other places, but mainly England. She’s cool and we nearly blew up our kitchen trying to light our stove. It’s nice to have internet now, but also just to have someone that understands me completely is how do you say, Awesome.
