oldsmoboat, what is "dropping a tab"

you're bad

Olds you just got way cooler. I would have totally thought you meant called them for an update until others caught me up to speed.

I am misunderstood. People don't know how to react to someone who speaks their mind. Or what's left of it...

You should have posted updates on here ever half hour.

It's like dropping da bomb.

I could have but everyone can see my screen... I posted from my cell phone on the last update. I didn't do much during my first day. I don't like how the cubicles are lined up... there's no privacy. Four cubicles with no walls face one center point so I have to look at everyone's face all day or try to hide behind the computer screen. The position is related to equity research... (midtown financial firm)

I noticed a few things.

1) Humans are not meant to spend 40+ hours living in a cubicle.
2) Meetings are held just to waste time. I just sat in a few and observed. I have another scheduled for tomorrow :disgust:
3) Working sucks.

edit: I've had a previous summer experience working in a corporate setting so this isn't new to me, it just solidified my beliefs about humans not meant to live in a cubicle and that working sucks ass

What kind of job is it? Surely from the interviews and such that you would have some idea what you will be doing?

I still don't have a clue what I'm supposed to be doing. I just read a bunch of crap about some new product the company is working on for the institutional investors
I'm here for short term and just want to absorb/learn everything I can

Did you grow the enterprise today? Did you develop any proactive value-added solutions to provide the customer with an innovative approach to management excellence? If not, might I suggest some team building will be the order of the day for tomorrow. Be sure to touch base first thing in the morning. Also, ask Ms Franklin about getting a blackberry for you. That cell phone is not in accordance with corporate IT policy.
