직장 생활
직장 생활을 시작한 지 얼마 되지 않았을 때, 나는 모든 것이 낯설고 두려웠다. 사무실 문을 열고 들어서는 순간부터, 내게 주어진 작은 일 하나하나가 큰 도전처럼 느껴졌다. 보고서를 작성하는 법도, 상사에게 어떻게 보고해야 하는지도 몰라 혼란스러웠다. 그러나 다행히도, 선배들은 나를 그냥 내버려 두지 않았다. "이렇게 하면 더 좋아."라며 작은 팁을 전해주었고, 나는 그들의 조언을 귀담아듣고 따라 하며 조금씩 성장해 나갔다.
업무 지시를 받으면 처음에는 당황스러웠다. 부장님이 "이 보고서를 작성해 보게."라고 말씀하셨을 때, 어떻게 시작해야 할지 몰랐다. 하지만 차근차근 자료를 찾아보며 시도했고, 선배가 세세하게 도와주면서 마침내 보고서를 완성할 수 있었다. 그렇게 한 가지씩 배워 나갔다.

협업이란 무엇인지도 직장 생활을 통해 깊이 깨달았다. 혼자서 모든 일을 처리하려 했던 적이 있었지만, 시간이 부족했다. 결국 팀원들에게 도움을 요청했다. 다행히도 모두가 흔쾌히 맡은 역할을 해주었고, 우리는 함께 프로젝트를 성공적으로 마칠 수 있었다. 그때, 혼자가 아니라 함께 일하는 것이 얼마나 중요한지 몸소 경험했다.
시간이 지나면서 후배가 들어왔고, 나는 그들에게 업무를 가르쳐야 하는 입장이 되었다. 신입사원이 처음 실수를 했을 때, 나도 모르게 선배들이 내게 해주었던 것처럼 친절히 설명해 주었다. 그렇게 가르치면서 나 역시 더 많은 것을 배울 수 있었다.
고객을 상대하는 일도 쉽지 않았다. 어느 날, 한 고객이 급하게 요청한 일이 있었지만 나 혼자 해결할 수 없는 일이었다. 당황스러웠지만 매니저에게 도움을 요청했고, 그는 빠르게 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 도와주었다. 고객을 대하는 태도와 문제 해결 능력의 중요성을 그때 처음 제대로 깨달았다.
이 모든 경험이 쌓이면서 나는 점점 더 성장하고 있다는 것을 느낀다. 처음에는 어렵고 실수도 많았지만, 배워가며 적응해 나가는 과정 자체가 의미 있었다. 직장 생활은 단순히 일을 하는 것이 아니라, 함께 배우고 성장하는 여정임을 이제는 알 것 같다. 앞으로도 많은 도전을 마주하겠지만, 그 속에서 더 단단해질 나를 기대해 본다.

SWE 131 My Top Pet Peeves

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."
