Working five days a week is weird.

Starting last week, my high school (where I work) has been working towards installing some wireless infrastructure and upgrading their old infrastructure. So, this past week I’ve been working full days (7:30am-4:00pm) pulling and relocating ethernet wire (total bitch!), installing the mounting brackets for the wireless access points (APs), and we’re getting around to installing jacks (the network guys keep calling them “biscuit boxes”) and terminating the wire in the classrooms.
It is really wierd working five days a week full-time. Sure, I’m around for the same times that I used to be there for school, but this is totally different. In class, if you aren’t having it at the moment you can just kind of zone out and get away with it without issue (unless you’ve got one of those evil teachers that like to call on the people zoning out–I’m looking at you, math teachers!). But when you’re there for work, zoning out just isn’t an option. Don’t get me wrong, I love doing this stuff. I’m not used to being required to focus on (often) small, specific tasks for 40hrs a week.
I think I’ll set a long-term career goal to work no more than four days a week. Yeah, that sounds good.
