2019/03/04: February’s Worries

March 4th, Georgetown

Jan ended really good

super busy in the middle

and rested well to

start the super worrying month

with…

*

1st

Lunar New Year

so you have to take

a couple of days off

work calendar

*

2nd

it’s obviously

a shorter month

so you have to take off

like 5 working day

which is almost like a week

*

3rd

Lunar New Year itself

always stresses me out

can’t wait to get over it

seriously

*

4th

and what it’s like 5th Feb

the month usually starts slow

then you are off for celebration

before you know it

it’s already the

middle or even end of the month

*

but anyway

it didn’t end bad

i wasn’t even tallying my sales

until 27th Feb

because I didn’t want to know

*

thanks to a project

which haunted me

for a couple of long nights

from home, to Taichung

then Kaohsiung and

finally back home again

*

throughout the months

keyword description

for products of different type

*

so basically

for every single segment

first i have to refer to the

reference page and sometimes

doing additional research

on the keyword itself

because how can you translate

something if you are not

even sure of the meaning

*

killer project indeed

but thank goodness

it didn’t really

interfere with my other deadlines

as this was already predicted

as a low month

in fact it saved the month

*

come to think of it

i kept telling myself that

it wasn’t tough

just time consuming

due to heavy research

*

but it kinda brushes up

my research skill

i mean yeah

especially given the fact that

i hardly blog abut stuff which

requires research these days

*

and it’s product research

which can be treated as

online shopping activity

get paid to do window shopping

but without actually buying

how good does that sound

*

so the week in Taichung

started on Day 2 of Lunar New Year

i was basically still working

on New Year’s Eve and

even Day 1 of Lunar New Year

*

but got a short break on Day 2

not exactly considered a break

since i was travelling

*

but in short

the timing was good

before i went back to

heavy research work on Day 3

*

this was my third(-in-a-row)

Lunar New Year Escape trip

but surprisingly

I had the most festive

Lunar New Year ever

in different places

across/near Taichung

*

it’s a myth how

i consume and digest Chinese content

perfectly well

but can’t really

spit out content in Chinese

well work is an exception

of course
