Typical day

 A typical day for me is like:

Waking up at 6:45am and snoozed till 7:00am

Get out of the house at around 7:45am

Travelled on a train. Quickly use a toilet.

Around 9:30am +/- 5 mins reached office.

Start my computer, logins and startup 2 visual studio as it takes two to work. By then it will be around 10am already. When all finally load, I will start ssms. If no hell got loosen, I don’t have to do all again. If everything is just nice, I can use Google Chrome for research and something to refer to for the things I needed to do. If it freezes, start all over again, by then it will be 10:30am. Most of the time, I skipped ssms if I have to. Everytime it hangs, down time will be like half an hour to 45 mins. I took at least 10 mins to shut down my laptop peacefully. So, altogether I spent 1 hr just to turn on and off my computer. If it hangs once, 2 hrs. That’s perfect, I could have taken a pillow and nap a bit. If it didn’t hang, it will be pretty slow. It can take me a few minutes to build a program and take another few to type a few words. That’s when I didn’t want to restart my laptop.

All in all, 3 hrs Travelling and 1 - 2 hrs Laptop startup/down/program startup/down. I went home around 9:30 or 10pm which depends on when the office will close. That’s like 12 hrs at the office. 1 or 2 hrs for lunch and dinner. OT seems to be more like covering the lost time.

I reached home around 11:15 or slightly before 12am. Before I turned into a pumpkin. I think I am cursed ;/ That’s pretty much the same for all the 3 full time jobs that I ever had. I think if I did have my next job and I wasn’t my own boss. I would offer my first month salary to buy a better laptop for the job. In the end, that laptop should be mine even when I quit. Fair and square. I got a laptop and I enjoyed the work even more. Enterprise seems to be buying laptop at a higher price but poorer specs anyway. Everyone can get a flying high speed laptop between 1 to 1.5k. But the one at enterprise probably cost about 1.5k to 2k and it still freezes when you open two to three programs… What a world. Anyway, a good start has a good end. A bad start has no ends. The problem will just recycle anyway.

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.
