So, I'm testing out my gas mileage this week -- trying to lay off the gas when possible (staying below 2500rpm mostly) and not go much over 75mph. It's really hard to stay disciplined -- even for a few days!

If I go perm, then I will be making over 45k a year which is more than what I was making at Microsoft.
Even though I got this job, I am still going to look for something else that pays more. If I get something better than I will take it, but I am going to try to stay with this job for at least 6 months, longer if I get hired on perm.

Today was a pretty boring day. The manager that hired me, didn't come in until 10am, and I had already been there since 7am. So for 3 hours I did nothing but sit in my cousins cube and bug him the whole time. Then when the manager came in, I started training on one of their lab machines.

Yea it can be tiring. I know they are moving quick on that thing. They have only been working on it for a full week. I think the flyer said that they will have an official tournament on the 28th to celebrate it being built I guess. Now that I am working though I can't watch them build it all day anymore! lol
Oh well, time to go to a bar and do a little celebrating for getting a job!
