Easy Breezy
So a week has passed since I started work and everything is easy peasy. It’s not hard work at all. They have automation tools to run tests on so it requires very little brain power. Basically stick in a network card and run some commands and sit and wait. Other tests require more effort such as configuring ip addresses and switches, but any computer savvy person can pick it up. So far I’ve done Dos and Windows testing and should be learning some Linux setups soon.
The company is pretty cool and is huge. The campus covers several large blocks and has more campuses across town. There’s a large cafeteria that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at no more than 4 bucks for a full meal. Unlimited free drinks can also be had. There is also a gym though I haven’t seen it yet. Yeah the place and people are cool but the work is boring. I don’t know if I’d want to do this sort of thing for 20 years but for now it’s good and it beats programming.
Saw The Departed over the weekend and it was great. I liked it better than the original (Infernal Affairs). All the actors were amazing and it’s my favorite Scorsese film in a few years. But what I’m really looking forward to is The 300. Can’t wait for that to come out.
