Ugh, boy am I exhausted and my feet are killing me. But I don't care! Today was my first day working for Nintendo, and it was certainly interesting. First of all, we're dealing with packing the new "GameBoy Micro" systems for shipping. They are sooo cool in spite of being the size of a cellphone, and they're all being shipped with 2 interchangeable faceplates (one camouflage, one firery ooze). My job on the assembly line was to make sure the serial number of whatever GameBoy that came my way, matched the serial number on the box it rested on (the person to my left put them in the box once I verified them). It was fairly easy work, especially for someone like me who can pay close attention to detail. Only thing I hate about it is that standing for so long and not moving much, really hurts my poor feet. One of the best parts about today was that since it's a weekend, Nintendo orders pizza for all the workers as a nice bonus! And if that wasn't cool enough, at the end of the day we'd done pretty darn good and everyone was able to get a gift - a black T-shirt with an old Super Mario Bros. "Pow" block on the front.

(oh, and I saw a badass poster for "Pokemon X-D: Gale of Darkness"!)

As soon as I can figure out how to make my shoes more comfortable to stand in for hours and hours, this job will be one of the best I've ever had!
 
Did you get overtime or weekend pay for this?
