I lost my badge!

And by that, I mean I gave it back to my manager. Of course, what I really mean there is that work is over!

I'd say it was an interesting experience. So writing documentation is probably not what I'd want to do for a living, but it was OK for a summer job to pass the time.

It's really a Windows shop there, which wasn't great. On the other hand, I don't have a problem with Office. It's really quite nice, especially if you're trying to script it. Don't even ask how to do any scripting in OpenOffice. Conversely, the ribbon was not amazing. It requires too many clicks to do anything and its layout changing is annoying.

So I didn't really say much. I'm just happy to be done work!

Off to work I go...

Yep, that's right. Work. In the summer!

Well actually, I started on last Wednesday, though I haven't really done too much yet. They don't have a proper laptop for me yet, so I can't login and don't have email. Which turns out to be pretty limiting, actually. The temporary computer doesn't have access to most of the (internal) network, for stuff like printers and such. Basically, I've just been reading random documents in the meantime.

I'm not doing anything too glamorous, though. Pretty much writing documents. Apparently, they seem to think I was good at that.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention where! At Merrill Lynch.
