2020

I planned tonnes of things to do when I reached home after work. I got a game to play and programs to write. Celebrated my Aunty's birthday. Actually I celebrated her birthday more than I celebrated my mum's. We didn't know our parents birthday until like we were adults and by then we left home. We don't usually celebrate birthday esp mine since I am in the middle. Either the eldest celebrate or the youngest. Not that I really want it but after a while, it became just a day, I wanted for myself. It is probably a terrible day to be on earth. I think only on that day I can be selfish. Whatever. I made a coffee and eat my cough syrup which the doc gave. I think I will cough more when I drank it but eventually it felt better then I got worst again. I ended feeling sleepy and now planning for a nap. Game not played. Program not written. I am a day away from my 100 k. The 100k story. Once upon a time, I was sick and decided to get well and wanted to try out my own program.

SOP is there when there is a conflict. It will solve the conflict because there is no conflict if there is only one specified way to do things. Sigh... I have done inventory before. Actually quite often. However, mostly involved scanning barcode. In fact, done it really often. Today, need to count. I guess being tidy and kept things organised would have speed up a lot more. I wonder why there is no way to track product expiry by using a program. The reason I became software engineer is because I dreaded the old ways of doing things. Yet, I kept on suffering from the ways thing go. Obviously not in my power to say but also whether people will want the change. Anyway, I also sense that people kept on throwing things my way but duno why yet. My contract is 3 months only if they should realised. Almost 2 months passed. The only one who will tell me things to do were one younger lady who is like 6 years younger than me and one older lady who is about my eldest sister's age. Somehow,

when I called and you are not there or when I even go one round, cannot find. When I don't really need, you are there. When in question, you cannot answer but when there is an answer, there are actually more answers... I think, if you have a job at hand why not deal with it if it is important to do in the first place. Well, I was thinking what shall I do next. I only signed up for part time cashier job. I think I ended up in olympics. The problem is not long queue. It was the long queue of customers with lots of questions. Some different cultures. Some different sense of humour. Some different ways of thinking. Some just wants you to make mistakes so they hoping to get things for free. Some were pranks. Some played politics and games. One customer told me a guy before here put things of the floor in front of cashier. I went around and saw 4 1.5L of soft drinks arranged nicely in one line with gaps between each other. If you do flex css, space-between. The lady said he put it there

All the extra money or interest earned, goes to paying a non-fool-proof system mistake. I guess personality does influence what job is best for you. My last draw will be the last payment I am going to make if there is anytime soon. If extra money received, they kept. If less money, you pay. Hm... If customer problematic, you pay. One thing right is to start scolding customer or another is to become the customer. If I did anything wrong, just push to the cashier to pay it all.

First time got charged for working. Hm... At the end of the shift, surprisingly I got short of change. Hm. I have doubt whether it is my fault or not but is it serious enough to call police? Doubt so. Yesterday, this guy came in and said he was at pump 2. There is 2 pumps and he remembered the price too. I confirmed. Then he said he lost his card at our station. Ok, hold my station again... He didn't have the old card number or the receipt with him. I wanted to settle his petrol first but without the card no discount... He went back to his car and find. He is finally back. I asked if he can settle the petrol first. Notice that his car wasn't there anymore and I asked him if he moved his car. He said he moved his car to pump 12... Colleague went in and find but cannot find his card so gave him a new member card. Then he said he was in a rush. I not sure if I got confirm again the pump since I already confirmed with him before. Shit does happened. I also asked him to come back

Even escape was so difficult. I was rewriting my old codes for Golang. So much has changed for only 2-3 years. Many of the things were obsolete. Then after everything I finally figured most out. While using curl command on Visual Studio Code Terminal to test my microservice, the json data format kept on failing. It wouldn't go through with the escape character backslash. The same script with the escape character worked well on command prompt... I almost throw my keyboard away... I spent 1 hr doing different combination of escaping quotes, trying out different suggestion from online sources, all failed. Finally, I tried adding some characters out of nowhere just because I was annoyed and just wanted to anyhow do. The ide linter will make the colour change for the command based on its type. It worked... What? I don't understand... Waste my time only. Even documentation doesn't include that.
