Today was great! Morning started out with reading of horrendously boring SOPs and some guidelines.. not that I’ll ever be finished with them though. There’re just sooooo many to read. My supervisors took pity on me and decided to let me do sth else. So now I’m kind of supposed to work together with this student intern, Paul, to figure out this extensive network of P&ID on vacuum pumps.. wp. Apparently even the most senior of engineers have no idea how the piping network flows or sth. So complicated!! So we’re kind of tasked with tracking all the pipes and stuff.. and see how they link up, eventually coming up with a new and improved (and correct of coz) P&ID. Oh well, nothing to tax our puny brains over anyway. At least it beats sitting in front of the comp deciphering SOPs!
Lunch with my direct colleagues (those in my department) is reli quite weird. Like I mentioned previously, they’re all married and have kids. So yeh.. major generation gap. There’s like totally no common topic! (obviously they have enough sense not to discuss baby issues with me) sigh. Anyways, got to know another 2 of the students intern today. (there’re 8 of them here apparently). One’s theoretically from Philippines, the other’s Indian, but both are British. They are like trying to psycho me to rent the vacant room at their house coz they’ll have to pay more to cover the rent otherwise. The location’s in Tonbridge town itself, so it’s so much nearer to work. And they drive! Meaning free tpt to and from work. But I’m so not interested in taking it up. Living in Tonbridge is not exactly very enticing you know. I would much rather live somewhere nicer and cycle to work (I’m sure when it rains all the time in winter.. I’ll regret that I ever said that.)
Ate fish and chips today for dinner. Coz I got sick of oats and sandwiches. Their chips are HUGE!! It’s like kind of New Zealand style u noe.. wrapped in a large cone of baking paper..(wateva u call that). And it’s soooooo nice! Thick and hot and potato-ey. Woohoo. Beats those at Mac’s anytime. =)
