The Next One's on Me

Which should be in a couple of months.

One month down, some evaluations, a fifth language to work with, and hopefully, I'll have a first taste of actually project development. Maybe I'll get to bowl soon, next week. And there'll be fewer tutees.

Must remember to inquire about entrance policies for the old Alma Mater. You know, the first job. Not the second.

Oh, and I have a test to give on Sunday.

This is change?

200 and Other Unimportant Numbers

I was very late for work today, but I still logged in the requisite hours, and still tried my hand at some training exercises. Tomorrow, I will go to my tutees to try and enrich their lives a little (with the agreeable side-effect of enriching my finances). Monday, I will back in front of my unit at work and will do more exercises to improve my work capabilities.

In fact, next week will be a fairly ordinary week, ending a fairly ordinary month, and starting another month that is promising to be as ordinary as the last month.

All this ordinariness, aside from the number of changes that have been happening in my life, and some more that are promising to happen as well.

Sigh.

It's Been a While

Been more than a few days since my last post, but that isn't to say that the action has slacked. I have just gone through my two worst exercises to date, and it does not help that they were the most recent ones. I still have one on tap today. Good thing I still have about a day in advanced time, but I will try some things later today, so I should just be ahead by about half a day.

Anyways, forging ahead?

The Game

Well, I'd never thought I'd be too early for work. Yet here I am, slogging away a floor above, waiting for someone to open the doors downstairs.

Oh yeah, and Inversion pre-releases today. Sorry, I mean Planar Chaos. Roy should know what I mean.

Sneaking About

I'm sneaking a little early to go online so I can use my favorite Net-enabled PC here. Am starting to get good at surfing quickly again, but it means that I'm reading far less than usual.

Trivia of the day: The only actor to be in the 1984 movies "The Philadelphia Experiment" and "Streets of Fire" is the star Michael Pare.

Hey, I didn't mean to be enlightening. :p

Time Off for Bad Habits

Cast my first absence from work yesterday, due to my body not handling the stress it was under. Actually, I'm not fully recovered yet, but as the respiratory problem is now gastrointestinal, I am sure it's on the way out. On Monday afternoon, it started out as a sore throat, which, on Tuesday, became the flu, and yesterday went from sinusitis to a mere runny nose (I had hoped). Mucus secretions have run from green to yellow to colorless to now yellow (nose) and green (throat). As I said, today it's gastrointestinal.

Sigh. Self-medication is so hit-miss.

Under the Weather

Okay, I'll admit it. The reason why I'm not feeling too well is the fact that I stayed up late Sunday evening. And that I actually have been on the road for at least 6 hours everyday since the first of January.

Training is pretty good. I hope my body isn't breaking anytime soon.

Dizziness

Yesterday, after departing from the building, I told Paul I got dizzy - he says it's the same for his first two weeks on the job. Today, a little winded from the exercises and lessons. Got my wind back, slightly.

All New

With the start of the new year, I find myself with a new job. It may not surprise many that I am now working as a Junior Programmer (in training) at Azeus Systems Philippines in Ortigas, but anyone who has only known me through my college degree (and masteral courses) will be scratching their heads.

It's currently day two of training, and I'm spending my afternoon break in the "other" locale for the company, and trying to maximize the "personal use" computers.

Anyways, I hope everyone has had a similarly enriching new year so far.
