Progress.
Wednesday, August 09, 2006

Wala.

Napagsabihan kami ng boss namin regarding sa "games". 'Wag daw gawin yun during office hours. Ha! Talaga lang ha. Kung meron bang tinatawag na "progress" sa work namin eh di sana walang naglalaro/nag uubos ng oras/tumatambay/etc. dito samin. Yun nga yun eh. Walang trabaho. Walang development.

Yung stored procedure na inaasahan naming dumating kahapon wala pa rin. Magaling. Pano ko kaya ite-test yung dataset kung wala yun. :-(

Buti pa si Cis nakakahingi siya ng "progress" report kay Sir Ernie regarding sa Gupta. Yun nga lang, ayaw gumana sa .NET. #-o Swerte pa rin pala ako at hindi ako napadpad sa work na yun. Report automation ng isang payroll system eh. Ayoko na. Sawa na ko sa kakagamit ng Excel files.

...pero teka, Excel pa rin naman ang hawak ko ngayon ah! Inang yan.

Takte, sa VB6 daw gumagana. Ina! Ano yun, yung latest version pa yung hindi kaya mag support?!

Gumana na yung PS Emulator ni Pao. Woohoo! Pocket Fighter yung una kong dinownload kasi ni-recommend nya. Okay naman kanina nung tinest ko, kaso hindi ko nga lang malaro ng matino kasi sa "games". Asar.

Ang lakas pa ng ulan kanina. Halos baha ang Ayala Ave. Umaraw naman kaninang hapon, pero ngayon, balik tampuritis na naman ang panahon. :-(

Ine-expect ko pa yung email ng pinsan ko regarding sa thesis work nila. Web design daw. Ewan, nabigla nga ako sa curriculum nila eh. Hindi naman sila IT pero pinapagawa sila ng ganun. May back-end capabilities pa. Ayos. #-o In two months ang submission. Depende sa liit (or laki) ng scope ng project nila, baka kayanin pa kung aaralin nila ngayon. Yan ay isang napakalaking "KUNG". Good luck na lang.

Nakakatamad!!

Hayy...

Walang magawa. Grabe, buong linggo wala. Nakakatamad. :-( Nasa training kasi si Miss Iren last Friday (last week) hanggang Wednesday. Ayun, sa pagitan ng mga araw na yan wala akong ginawa kundi tumambay, makipagdaldalan kina Marlon, Edgar, Emil, Rochelle and Cis, kumain, bumalik ng late pagkatapos ng lunch, etc etc na kung anong pwedeng pagkaubusan ng oras. Kasama na dyan ang pag-visit araw-araw sa mousebreaker.com. Ewan!

Ngayon pa tinamad, kung kailangan kong aralin yung code ng ibang tao. Hirap ng logic sa VB6. Malamang lang, down-grade eh. :-(

Sobrang dami ng deadline next week. :-S

Hindi ko makuha ng matino yung PS Emulator ni Pao. :-( Asar. Marvel vs. Capcom sana kami dito. >:)

Magsunog ng dibidi hangga't wala si Miss Iren (Lost Series galing kay Rochelle). Sobra din yung back-up procedures dito. Sa 11.5 gig pa lang ng mp3 eh. Kailangang i-save. Sayang ang buong album ng Eraserheads. >:)

Kung sino pa man din yung nabansagan na matalino, yun pa yung makikitid ang isip. Nakakainis kayo!! Mga walang magawa sa buhay!

Reinforcements have arrived.

I feel totally exhausted from work the very first instance my foot sets on our front door.

...exhausted even though my work here is typically light to moderate.

Why do I have to "down-grade" what I have learned?! (.NET to VB6)

That it takes me (and Jo sometimes) a minimum of 3 times to open our bags when going home (1 for Landmark + 1 for Glorietta + 1 for SM [ +1 for Gold Crest ]).

The damn jeepney drivers have to take it out on innocent civilians for the bullsh*t SONA of the President (an impromptu strike?!).

...didn't they know that the act itself is much like terrorism?! (they take their hatred on us, the only difference is terrorists kill).

100 pesos is more like 20 pesos now.

I hate fake aircon busses! You pay an additional 2 pesos for the comfort, but hell, it's actually much better to ride on the regular ones if it feels like an oven inside!

Even a single, missing character in a text message means a lot.

I miss our dog, Candy. ;-(

Robinson's Pioneer. Thumbs down.

...Mall of Asia. One of the best hang-out places (well, for now).

Heard a Motorola ring tune on a Nokia phone (weird)...

....I want to place a Nokia ring tune on my phone (even weirder).

GUI.

Program design today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Tired.
Monday, July 24, 2006

I feel so tired from all the work I did for the past week. It is my very first time to create a module/project on my own! With no help from my boss Miss Rochelle (because the task given to me by Miss Bong was related to the accounting department), it was scary at first. Of course, Google was the only one I could ask for help without "actually" disturbing anyone. ;-)

Oh boy, I hate accounting! Why on earth was I chosen to handle this?! Hay.. Well, that's life it seems. There's nothing I can do more about it (nor complain). #-o

To make the long specs of the module/project short - the app should take an .xls (Excel workbook) as an input file, search a specified number in a column (returns mulitple rows), and generate a pre-formatted .xls file in return. Wow. Took me half the week trying to order SQL commands in the OLEDB adapter and the rest of the week trying to write an Excel file with the correct format based on a template given to me.

But that's not all. I have to translate numbers into words (like in a cheque). #-o

Felt relieved that learning recursions did have its purpose. :)) (A life saver actually.)

And now. Slacking. >:) Nothing to do, combine that to the bad weather outside and the President's SONA = Bliss.

Lady in the Water rocks! Nothing beats comedy/suspense. :-)

By the way, the admin announced to us a while ago that we could already leave for home. Wow, with only 30 minutes left.. =))
