Bank Productivity

Third day of work today at one of the top Canadian Banks that's downtown around King St. When your building is so tall, a fire drill can really take a lot of energy out of you...especially when you're sick like me. Walking down 13 flights of stairs would be fun if I was healthier. Then you see all these suits standing around the corner of intersections waiting to be called back inside. Nobody tells me about the fire drill policy. Actually, nobody on my floor even KNEW about the policy! So much for a floor warden. We didn't even get those cool neon coloured arm bands! Lol.

Did I mention my work is so boring? Well, not that I would know for sure yet, cuz it's ONLY the 3rd day and of course, at the rate productivity is going, I'm not even sure when I'll be able to do anything with my OWN hands. Not to mention, the disconnected computer at my desk. I have to sit with this other co-op student whom, by the way, totally hates his work. So although he's supposed to be training me, I feel like I'm teaching him...plus getting annoyed when he stops working. If he stops working, that means I have nothing to watch/do.

Well, pay is good, and I'm sure pretty soon I will swamp myself with enough work to keep me occupied throughout the day. No worries. I just hope the manager will be ABLE to give me work, when I ask for more. There's more downtime than there is real work time. I never thought sitting there with no work is worse than having too much! Bring on the responsibilities already! Or maybe I should be careful what I wish for? Still, I think the IT department is slower than any other department at the bank. Some days, there's no productivity and that's boring.
