One Month In, Mr. Lucky

It's been one month since I started at the large tech company.  It's a pain in the ass.  Waking up at six in the morning with an hour and a half long commute back and forth.  Absolutely tiring, I don't understand how people would consider this living.  After four weeks, I have done absolutely nothing.  The little tasks they have given me were basic and easily accomplished within an hour or so, otherwise, it's back to redditing.

They have currently set me up in a leftover cubicle that was supposed to be temporary, but later became permanent.  I don't really mind since it's quite decent sized and the group I'm assigned to is all packed into one small room.  My social interactions with the group, which consists of four people, have been mediocre at best.  I got a feeling that they don't really want me there, but the feeling is mutual.  The only person I am interacting well with is another intern that is also in my group.  It's weird really, for reason I'm very outgoing with her, and we get along quite well.  Interacting with her make things bearable while working 8 hours per day.

Working at this internship has many downsides, the greatest of all is driving home at night.  I don't know what's up with other people, but a lot of drivers have their damn high beams on at night, and it's absolutely blinding.  Changing lanes is a test of patience and nerves.  Even worst is that for some reason my stupid brain keeps zoning out while driving.  I have almost gotten into several accidents because it.  Maybe I have a medical condition or something, I need to get it checked out.  The only reason I'm still alive and in one piece is because I was lucky, but I fear my luck may run out someday.
