Whenever I’m tired, I always get The National’s “Fake Empire” in my head. I don’t even really know why, but I think it’s just because Matt says “we’re half awake…” and that’s exactly what I feel like. Matt’s screaming it at me in my head right now. 

I only worked from 1 to 10 today, which was great because I didn’t have to wake up before dawn like I did last week, but the sheer amount of technical information imparted upon us today was huge and so my brain feels like it’s pulsating. We were told we could leave our huge manuals at home, and instead they gave us these measly little four-page paper packets, and mine is literally black with notes. I’m buying a designated notebook and rewriting all my notes from the past weeks out nicely this weekend because this is ridiculous. The plus side is that I feel like I’ve learned more in 11 days than I did in three years of university and this thrills me. 

Also, we got training shirts today so we’re still identifiable as Apple people on the floor, but not full-fledged people that know everything yet. They’re violently yellow, like Spongebob yellow, and are really just leftover shirts that they give to kids when they come to Apple on fieldtrips, but I kind of like it. 

Excuse me while I go bury myself in blankets and go die in a tech-induced coma.
