THE LIFE OF AN INTERN ENGINEER



site meeting
It’s been quite long since I last post a new blog as things have been pretty tight. A few weeks ago, I was accepted as an intern in a housing corporation. At first it was quite difficult adapting from being a college student to an intern engineer in a government parastatal. Unlike college where I would choose which classes to attend and even go an hour late here all workers are required to report at their workstations by 7:45am. This is by no means an easy task considering the massive traffic congestion that characterise major highways into the city in the morning. I’m still struggling not doze off in the afternoons after waking up at 5:30am every morning in order to catch my train to the capital. 


Another major headache is the strict dress code all workers are required to observe. For a guy who is used to clad in a t-shirt, shorts and moccasins it feels really weird being in a suit and tie. Since I didn’t own even a single suit I was forced to enlist the help of my old man in picking some. You wouldn’t believe how much I look forward to weekends when I can put on jeans!
