Been working really hard for a project
which consists of a list of
4,000 attractions around the world
it’s more time-consuming than usual
as some research is required
to confirm the names
and what is it actually about
since some are in Spanish/Mexican etc
and you mean Old Faithful is a geyser?
and Bell Tower is actually not a tower?
and this is actually my
very first project of the year
as I received it really early before Christmas
and it is billed as the first invoice of 207
was working on the other project
received on Friday
of similar “economical value”
and quantity yet
much easier
basically that pretty much explains
how did I fruitfully spend my
New Year’s Eve and New Year
juggling between the two
as the deadline for this project
was set at 9 AM on 3 Jan
I decided to go all out
working until 1 AM on 2 Jan
i have not been working late
for quite some time
since i rather wake up early instead
to fix a more balanced bio clock
so…
i worked all the way until 1 AM
could have gone on to finish
but my laptop died of flat battery
and i actually did not press Ctrl S
at the progress of 93%
you could have guessed what have happened
as I have mentioned the key word
so on the morning of 3 Jan
i woke up at 6 AM
and finished the 7% off
generated the first QA report by 7:38 AM
and went on to check through everything
was pretty much done by 8:30 AM
thinking to take a break
i mean early nap
after i submitted the task
even the reply email has been drafted
i accidentally pressed the power button
like what the hell
my monitor turned dark
as my PC went to sleep
and pressing the keyboard
didn’t manage to wake him up
as i can’t wait to submit the task
i pressed the power button again
this time, on purpose
to reset the laptop
and i was browsing through
some images of Adventure Time
on my phone
thinking to draw a card
for Carly’s birthday
after I am done
having picked the right card
my laptop was ready to work
it gave me a shock of my life
when the program wasn’t on the desktop
and when i dug the file out
the last saved time was
5 PM yesterday!!!!
oh my
the first thing I did was
to text my project manager
to ask for an urgent extension
it sounded shitty i know
like i actually two weeks time
thank goodness
she was fine with it
as long as I submitted by noon
so i spent the next 3 hours
retyping whatever I have done
since 9 PM yesterday night
all the way until 11+
whatever it is
one project is down
before I moved on to
finish up the other easier project
what a way to start 2017
