I am 2 days old in my new job. And aching all over. I don't know if that is because of standing and walking all day or because of my cold and fever. Anyway. It has been an interesting 2 days. And so completely different from what I am used to.

So. What's up?

I'm tired, dirty and hungry at the end of work. Tired and hungry is normal at the end of work, but dirty is new for me. I have a factory job. Much fun. I'm learning chemistry and manufacturing and pretty soon I'm going to come in contact with labour laws, I think. I'm going to have periodic reviews, too soon and too close to each other for comfort.

When I come home and have to bathe and I ache all over, I feel like I have done something. Which is weird. I haven't really done much. I'm toting a notepad and following people, asking questions and eavesdropping on conversations.

Lets see how it goes.

So.

Saw Micheal Clayton, American Gangster and No Country for Old Men. Will see Juno when I get to Ranipet. Is 10000 b.c as bad the reviews say it is?

I'm watching Jurassic Park 3. The part where he says, "It is a bird cage", and the little boy goes whooosh. I can't decide who is more annoying - William H. Macy or Tea Leoni. (I don't know know how to make those accents). Billy just jumped off with the parachute that shouldn't work and is currently out flying pterodactyls. If they had pterodactyls, would some of them have gone off the island and onto Mexico or somewhere? This suspension-of-disbelief thingy does a lot of work in this movie. Don't raptor eggs break? There is always a shot in these movies where they show this wide pasture with a lot of herbivores just before something terrible happens. And another shot with someone with their arm inside a pile of shit. Bleah.

Ok. Enough.

Read anything interesting lately? I read Snow. Very so so.

A tiny bug flew into my eye, under my specs. It feels like there are still bits of it inside. Itch. Itch. Rub. Rub.

Did you know that there is a channel called Topper where they go over school stuff? Math and Science for classes 9 to 12. Monotonous and uninteresting. It is almost as if they are reading out the textbooks. I'm sure that there is a market for this stuff but can't it be made more interesting? The woman who does 11th Physics reminds of the woman who taught me geography.
