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.

Amount

 The amount I spent on learning before applying actually costed me more money until I do enough work. Still learning process is still needed even while working.  Doing things subconsciously can make the easiest problem complicated. Could be your old habits or subconscious typing or the auto correction? hm.. This one is more like my habit. It is a hard to catch error when we did like that. I was thinking what goes wrong and no matter what I did, it would not return my desired results. Turned the code that I wrote previously and just a line only which I overlooked while checking, was blocking the rest of the changes… Dangerous code is the counter code that you wrote to right a wrong or blocking the wrong from working. That’s normally a temporary solution but the solution turned out to be preventing me doing other works… sigh… 😮‍💨  Today’s a lucky day and I found it while doing another part… so it is good not to always focus on one problem. The other problem could be the c...

Tools and Work

 Things I bought for work. Another addition of $18.60 to the lost count of things that I bought for work. USB C to HDMI adapter has ARRIVED. Previously, I bought a hoco. and it is working fine still but too bad Shopee and Lazada don’t have them. I bought UGREEN then. I am attracted to name with colours on it. Hehe. Need one at the office so that I have less thing to carry back and fro of home. I bought another ergonomic mouse. My hand could go numb from using the mouse. Actually I have hand numb issue since young. Writing makes my hand numb. Not sure if that is normal but I do practice. I am not entirely sure if that is right hand only. When I used my left, I can write for a long long time even though the hand writing looks bad.  Bought soldering iron and tools set. Bought HDMI to mini port display x 3. One not working anymore and that’s why I bought another 2 (UGREEN $7.48 and IVANKY) because the working laptop needed it to display on another monitor. Bought a portable monito...

hmmmm

Keyboard warrior's keyboard checked. Another Jean checked. It is to make up for the pants that I spoiled two days ago. Just when I arrived at the office, I sat on a chair whereby the surface is grid-like and the  buttoned-up fake pocket button on the right side got plucked off leaving a hole a bit on the upper side of the bum. There is a flap that was together with the button. It just covers the hole a bit. I am not sure if the slit that the button goes through was big enough to see through. I tried to ensure my shirt was over the hole though at least to cover while I was not seated. It wasn't a good time. I was wondering should I just walk off to buy another pants but decided not to because we were busy. That went on for the rest of the day. A day to remember. The pants lasted 10 years. I bought it during my first job at 2011. Anyway, it was a bit tight around the waist so shouldn't have worn it at all. Although I am a bit heavier, my waist is a bit off only. I wonder if m...
