I've been unemployed for one week now. Friday, Nov 2 was my last day at KPFF Special Projects Division. Working there has been a great experience. I started there in March 2006 as an intern.
I have learned a lot working there, not just about engineering but about:
- working
- workplace dynamics
- interacting with coworkers
- deadlines
- slow days
- water cooler conversations
- commuting (by bike)
- managers (good ones only, luckily)
- the 2:30 pm droopy eyes
- teamwork
- working for government agencies (I know you have this all designed already, but lets try this...)
- Happy hour after work
- Rubber band attacks
- Reply-all emails (fortunately nothing disastrous)
- Sneaking up and scaring coworkers
I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed
all of my coworkers, which feels great to say. I have also enjoyed engineering. It is challenging, interesting, and sometimes (don't tell anyone else) fun. I'm really glad that I chose civil engineering for my degree. I don't know if it is something that I will always do, but i feel like could be a great springboard into anything else I would like to do in the future.
But for now, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to enjoy my time while unemployed!!!
