Question

 


Perks of working from home. I have been saying my spending was a lot ever since I work on site. Although not  entirely work from home, that’s the difference. Imagine I have been spending so much before that. 


If someone offer you a job, about 2.5 times your current salary but your current boss is nice, will you move? It was the greatest pull factor. I wonder maybe that’s why people keep on leaving. The pull factor is really large… JD wise not so sure if it will be intensive. They will be using a different technology and developing different things so you will not be in your comfort zone. But then with the same amount of time and the pay is 2.5 times more and you still get to enjoy coding… why no right? I just worry the boss sucks. I cannot tell if I will fit in. I haven’t touch Golang, Node.js and React.js for the past one plus year. Worst still, I haven’t touch Postgres even longer. Somemore, Postgres normally I queries through command line. I will have to fish out all my notes… MSSQL at least mostly can click through which is quite user friendly. Maybe there is some manager out there for Postgres. The JD was interesting though. If I get a hands-on to start from scratch, I guess I really want the job… The thing is I wonder what is the culture there like. Is it the got coffee tea break or birthday leave or a coding activity session or  was it too outgoing atmosphere which I will immediately felt introverted… I’ll never forget that interview which was like 3-4 years back. I was dumb founded by how much he talks about the weather, the place to visit and things the group enjoy. I was speechless. Maybe I should introduce Chicken Rice but I am not really sure if that’s appropriate for a foreigner. He wasn’t even here but was outstation. I guess sometimes, my personality was a bit odd that really good opportunity runs away and I kept on picking tough job… What can I do to change that? If only… I really want to do new stuff… It’ll be a permanent position! Actually, if I didn’t get it, I will just do a startup. I am doing mobile application since most of my program I did for mobile phones. Find other introvert to join. I don’t expect it to make money the first few months but at least I started it. After testing water, then still need to check if it does earn more than a 9-5 (more like 9-12) job. If it does, why not right?


For now, I think doing this app is just as good but I didn’t really like how it has to be done anyway. I usually felt it is more like a war than coding. The only good thing is I don’t need to join meeting. I know nothing from what they talk during meeting. Sigh. So far the only thing that is working without having much thought while I made the app was the email. The rest was kinda blood sucking tool. My blood level almost KO. If this is a hobby, I probably enjoyed exploring them. It wasn’t! Wake up call…

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.
