meh

The woman I work for is not in her office, so I have some time to write some shit.

Yesterday, she came in and gave me the assignment of stuffing 200 something envelopes with two sets of stapled sheets. I look at this job as something to make some money in the month I have before I go back to college, but this gave me a chance to figure out a way to streamline this process.

As a result I had an assembly-line type process that, which allowed me to work with a speed that would make both German automakers stare in awe and give Henry Ford himself an erection.

I feel somewhat accomplished by this. I think this is what industrial engineers do; look at a process of some type and figure out, with the given resources, how to optimize it for cost-effectiveness. Or some shit like that.

This summer, I've also read quite a bit. I read books that I always wanted to, and not because I would have to write a half-hearted essay comparing the themes to early 20th century america.
Or whatever it is that we wrote in Lit class. (GO MR WEEMS)

A list of my reading:
The Odyssey
The Alchemist
A Scanner Darkly
The Namesake
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
For Whom the Bell Tolls (not gonna lie, a big reason to read this book was the metallica song)
The Sun also Rises

Currenty I am reading Dubliners, a bunch of short stories written by James Joyce. These stories paint a dreary, depressing, melancholy picture of early 20th century Dublin. So yea, I don't know why I'm reading it, but it's kind of interesting.

more to come later.
