Day 2

February 25, 2014

>Surprise investors come to tour the lab; they comment on how organized my work place is (I was building 10 devices in assembly style at the time, organized parts everywhere spread across three tables. Everyone I texted had no faith in me and told me it was only my second day :C).
>CEO of company welcomes me (yay for small companies)
>Almost at the end of the day... ran out of device chassis. Ask coworker where I can find more. "That's the last box, you're making those things too fast"
>2 of my devices passed QC . 8 more need to be tested (takes two hours per device), and then 11 are assembled, but need to be programmed. Hooray, I may not suck at soldering.
>9.5 hours later... I can no longer feel my thumbs.

This job is awesome . The past two days I've assembled 21 devices. It's very relaxing and I have a nice window to stare at. My fingers are a bit... burnt from all the soldering I've been doing, specially my thumbs, but it's a nice new thing I learned. The first day, I learned the process of building the device. The second, I revamped time consuming steps and exhausted some device parts. It's a great job for someone lazy like me. "I don't want to unscrew 20 of these things... how about I attach it to a power drill!" "These wires are hard to attach... let's use a monkey wrench!" (yes, these were my solutions and they worked perfectly. I wonder what some of my coworkers thought as they saw me take the power drill and monkey wrench >.>)

“I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”

Bill Gates understands me

Tomorrow, my supervisor finally comes back to work and I get to learn new things and not be the only person working in the manufacturing department/corner .
