Day 1 in the Life of a Product-Specific Trainee

Waited 2 hours at the pantry with my wavemates. I realized conversation's not a problem with these guys.

Talked about basic computer hardware components and their respective functionalities for 6 hours. Dext jokingly referred to the pimple on my left cheek as a CMOS chip. I just smiled, when I should have said his mouth looks like a PCI slot. But all in all, Dext is a good guy, so I did the right thing, bridling my tongue.

At lunch, Chinese-looking boy from Zambia, D, quipped at me, "Are you gonna get sweets again?" I said, "Uhuh, gotta have all the sugar I can get whenever I can get them."

I sat on the table with a slice of day-old Swiss cake, a bottle of commercial orange juice, and a bar of chocolate. Fair fare for lunch at 2:00 AM, right?

We were made to count off to four for the regrouping. Kyaji, Denny, Sarah, and Marvi found themselves in the same group. Being the odd one out, I walked up to them and said, "T'is a mean trick that Fate played on me. And how could you guys play along with it? Is this what you're gonna repay me for everything I did for Team Venom before?"

They just smirked.

Guess I'm just that bad at feigning bitterness.
