My first day at work (or how I got paid to watch Star Wars)

Ok, that's not really true but it makes me sound cool. I had to be at the site for NEO or new employee orientation at 7:45am. The room had tables for the 60 or so new employees and we each got some notebooks and papers to fill out. Then we had a motivational speaker type guy show us videos on sexual harassment and show us what the culture is like at intel. Did you know that intel is actually an acronym for INTegrated ELectronics? Ha, neither did I lollll!!!!11 When I got out around 1pm I got my badge on which I look like a douche. I guess what they say about driver's license photos goes for corporate badges too. For the afternoon I reported to my new building where I'll be working. It is across town from the orientation site, about 4 miles from my apartment. Once inside my building, I was shown my cubicle which was just an empty desk. Turns out the computer dept. is pretty busy and they didn't have my computer ready. Having no computer at a computer company means there's very little, to no, work you can do. I got the rest of the afternoon off so I decided to see Star Wars. My car was about 1000 degrees when I got back to it, so I def need to get some of those sun shades. I think I'll go out when I'm done writing this piece.

Star Wars was good, I liked how it tied up the story from the last two. The action/fight scenes weren't as cool as some of the previous movies but overall I enjoyed it better. Probably because there weren't any stupid animated characters like jar jar in it. Well actually Jar Jar was in it, but not long enough to ruin the movie. I noticed a few other things about the movie. First, Samuel L. is a terrible actor for this role. He seems so out of place when he's speaking as if he's just reading the lines. He seems so unnatural especially alongside the actor who plays obi wan. Second, why does that evil machine dude, I think his name is General Grievous, speak just like triumph the comic insult dog. I have to look that up now to see if the voice is actually the same person. Nah, turns out it's just some other douchebag.

So what else is new? I found this cheesy restaurant that I think is pretty cool. Samurai Sam's is Subway meets Chinese Takeout. It's quick and low-fat(healthy) like subway, but they serve Chinese-style food. Basically its either chicken or beef teriyaki served on rice in either a wrap or bowl. Since they really don't have Chinese takeout here this has been substituting just fine.

Also, due to the increasing popularity of this blog an issue is beginning to arise. Do I keep this blog PG or maybe PG-13 so when my family inevitably reads it I/They are not too embarrassed, or do I just go full hog and deal with the repercussions. Or, alternatively, do I start another blog to cover the stuff that the guys reading this will want to read. For now I'm going to control myself, atleast for the near future.
