I’m Working… I Swear

Ok so, what I do here during the day really isn’t that interesting, besides the fact that I’m able to do everything I do at home just like I do there. Just give me an internet connection and my laptop and I’m at work.

Anyway besides that, the company here is pretty awesome, my good friends here are the outside sales guy, the head engineer, and the head fo the manufacturing department. Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays (if we don’t go out drinking) we play basketball and sometimes a little ping pong. Thankfully I’m not in this video because I suck pretty badly compared to them, although, I am getting better. My new strategy seems to work pretty well, (stand underneath the hoop and wait till someone passes me the ball… then miss a layup). I can get rebounds pretty well too, they’re short its true.

I rock at ping pong though, I can take most of them, I think its the unusually long arms.

I think its kind of weird how easily I fit in here though, here’s a typical day for me:

Wake up (to my dad yelling at me to wake up), answer some e-mails, get some breakfast buffet at the hotel (by far the best meal of the day) fried rice, french toast, some boiled eggs, sometimes they even have fried potatoes. Anyways, from there we head over to the office, I “work” till noon, then grab some lunch at the circle table with the department heads and my dad. For me that’s usually a bowl or rice, maybe a couple vegetables, and if I’m lucky a couple pieces of meat.

“Work” for a few more hours after lunch. My dad heads back around 3 because his eyes are tired, most of the time I stay here and “work” till five thirty then have dinner with the crew (see description of lunch). After that I go change and play basketball and ping pong for a few hours. Get a car ride home from the driver, take a shower, have a small dinner at the hotel for a couple bucks. And then, if I’m feeling masochistic, i’ll go get a chinese massage at the hotel for 20 bucks. They do good work, its really painful but supposed to be good for you right?

Uh yeah anyway here’s some photos or something…
