Breathtaking.
BROOOO I LITERALLY FELL ASLEEP FOR 6 HOURS AFTER I GOT HOME FROM WORK :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull: That's hypoglycemia for ya, if you aren't eating something, you're gonna fucking crash like I did.
Today at work we did our training for the first half of the day, nothing remarkable I'd say, but during lunch I had a conversation with a new data analyst hire-in that left me with a new perspective on how I can think of certain "unentrepreneurial" ventures as still entrepreneurial in nature, among other topics. After lunch, we all split off into groups to tour one of four CoorsTek facilities, I was apart of a group who visited the South plant, and lemme tell ya, it's huge. We got to see nearly every step of the process it takes to manufacture, grind and refine, inspect, and package all the different parts they make, straight from the powders they fire into all sorts of shapes to the CNC machines used to cut and drill into their ceramics to the rooms with microscopes and all sorts of fancy tools (to keep it short) they use to inspect each and every part. It was fascinating. And although I'm more of going to be an intern working in management, I still think it's important for me to know about all these things, as it will help me understand how everything operates and makes my job a little easier when trying to fix issues and run things.
As for creativity today? Well, Geometry Dash is out of the question. I got home at about 3:00pm MST, chatted with one of the CoorsTek personnel about some information, then promptly fell asleep 20 minutes later, and didn't wake up for 6 hours. The dream I remember was of somebody (I don't know who) claiming to have spent 50,000 attempts practicing Tartarus (the GD level) and randomly getting 74% from 0 on some playthrough. That dream was structured like a youtube video, where the 50,000 remark cut to the swing copter part from 34%, which cut to the player dying at 74%. I don't know...
As for what I actually did today, I had the absolute gall to doodle during training today. I had accidentally discovered that the silicon tip of my pen could stain my paper shades of black and gray, so I drew a funky little bust of Nammur on one page of my notebook, a dragon sleeping under a rooted tree on the next, and I drew CoorsTek's infinity logo using the red coating on the clicker-end of the pen on a third page. I forgot to bring my notebook inside, so I'll share pictures of it tomorrow. Speaking of drawings, as an update to last night's journal, I spontaneously drew another bust of Nammur (seriously, I need to start drawing something else for once lol) with me in the mirror as a reference. I think I did pretty well. I'll upload that one when I get around to taking pictures of my notebook doodles.
Tomorrow I get to tour our North facility (which is the one I'll be interning in), so I'm excited to take a second walkthrough. I'll try not to doze off tomorrow so that way I can get some stuff done. Perhaps it's in my best interest to cook my dinner tomorrow morning before I head off to work... We'll see how things go =:3
