Reflection

 I need career advice. Should I look for a new job or should I not? The series of unplanned events has reached up to a point that I think is enough to drown me. Although I am ok but it is not ok. I felt like I am not really growing in my skill sets but just trying real hard to connect something to a network. Well, everything comes with a manual but I have none. Some codes were given but not instructions. 

Would you say it is a skill learnt. I am not so sure. I saw some job ad posted by Wikimedia. Looks like kind of the job I would do but then the office is in the US, remote in Sg and it is based on a charity to operate. Will it be a long term plan for me? So far, I have not done anything like that. It’s not for me to decide also. 🌭 I just had this for dinner, after the western food downstairs closed on me.


I like my job but the constant changes, lack of information and lack of test or even real devices make me felt very frustrated sometimes. Probably things that only need one day could takes up to a week. My own test environment set up, then test when I can when I have the environment. Revert back when I am back to my own again. I felt like I am wasting too much time on these useless switching that done more harm than good. If I have more time, it should be spent on reviewing the codes logic or at least the quality. It is pointless too because anytime, the whole structure requires changes due to some unforeseen circumstances. Sorry to the software engineer that I used to scold for the bugs in the app and you simply don’t care about it. I can see why now. For me, it is crushing me because I hate the bugs. The fact that I have to leave it so I can do more stuff makes me restless. I can’t get over this somehow. I felt like keep improving it but then that wouldn’t let the job done. Worst still, after you have perfected it, the plan changed… The only thing that drives me away from feeling bad about the bugs is probably anger. Hope I get angry enough to ignores that. Then I could get the job done fast. Probably a day or two without sleeps if I am really angry. It would take one or two weeks if I am not. It was the momentum that allows you to sprint forward at a faster speed. Once you stop, you have to gain back. Bad thing about that. I probably won’t be functional for a week after that. 


Although I still think life is just nothing while everything is a disguise of this nothingness. I shouldn’t waste it away when I am alive. I don’t even think being alive is so worth it. Since I am still, I better be doing something good or else I would be wondering why the hell am I still alive… If you see through life, it is all a lie. When all is beautiful if you never heard of ugly truth. 


Venting of frustration ended.

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.
