2019/04/24: March Thankful

yet another long overdue post

should have written this weeks ago

who knows what kept me busy

June’s Journey, maybe

*

to summarize March

started well

ended well

*

started the month

with a short trip to

KL & Penang

for EggPlantEgg’s

Malaysia tour

solo

*

and ended the month

with another short staycation

to KL with BFFs

for Your Women Sleep with Others

*

there was this particularly

scare out of shit experience

in the middle of the month

*

in short

fell asleep early

email came in at 11pm

and woke up to find that

a large volume task

had been reassigned

*

but it wasn’t that bad

because there was

subsequent batch that

i managed to secure

*

but luck is not always

on my side

so since that

i try to stay awake

at least until 11pm

following client’s

office hour

can’t help it

*

sadly

no overseas trip this month

was thinking to utilizing

my birthday weekend x Labor Day

to take my mom out of the city

*

but her leave application

was rejected

grandnanny for 3 kids

tough life

and that sort of

affects most of my travel plans

this year

*

anyway

i mean it’s a good time

to really sit down

or lie down maybe

to look for some other

motivations in life other than

flying once a month

and it wasn’t cheap

by the way

*

what happened in Penang was

for the very first time

i sat down at the common area

of my hostel in a busy street

working, patting cat and

talking to others

the ideal way to

live as a freelancer

2019/04/21: Laptop Data Transfer

my 4 year old old laptop

has been making noise literally

and recently escalated

“system fan is out of order”

is the first thing greeting me

whenever i turn it on

*

in fact it may be around

for quite some time

i hardly shut down

only on sleep mode

unless the battery is flat

*

so it was quite a fast process

it took me one night to survey

and saw the specific model

i wanted will be on flash sale

next morning

and there you go

*

same old HP

because this has been pretty reliable

for the past 4 years

and 15.6” still

as i don’t think i can survive

without the numeric keypad

*

good thing that

it got delivered on a Saturday

have been trying day and night

to transfer files from

old to new laptop

*

Homegroup no longer exists

transferring via software

seems weird because

the total size doesn’t tally

couldn’t find my external hard disk

and thumb drive will take forever

*

and finally this works

https://techwiser.com/how-to-connect-pc-to-pc-lan-cable/

transferring via LAN cable

it seems complicated at first glance

but it isn’t

fast and reliable

thanks….. really

*

it’s kinda disappointing how

those good old things are

slowly disappearing

from Windows

other than HomeGroup

*

first

Window Photo Editor

Window Live Writer

(now blogging from Open Live Writer)

Google Chinese Input is no longer supported

*

the Taiwanese input

has this funny name called

Microsoft Bomofomo

seriously??

*

i don’t think Control Panel

is still around as well

*

and it feels annoying

when opening up to a Start menu

which is pre-installed with paid content

Netflix, Agoda, Spotify

*

and of course

before installing Chrome

now where is Internet Explorer

oh it’s dead

replaced with Microsoft Edge

*

and Skype is now

part of Microsoft Office

*

well maybe it’s just me

the old schooler

resisting the change

*

anyway

thank goodness

i found the way to

transfer data the good old way

*

it’s a good time

for me to clear those

many folders named

“Misc”, “Unsorted”

*

the amount of data

from an old desktop

two generations of laptop

a couple of phones

*

one last question here

if laptop is getting more similar

to a mobile phone

how i wish it does have a

one-touch clone function

*

sorry

getting a bit too grumpy

over the time wasted

2019/04/18: 試一把

上週有點抱怨

都沒有在做翻譯

都是在弄response coding + link check

突然好懷念做翻譯的日子哦

*

直到禮拜五才有翻譯做

結果TMD的停電

我摸黑弄着蛋糕預調粉。。。

的問卷

*

這個星期還好

哦 三個方面都有

比較平衡

*

其實就是這樣

一開始 我也很抗拒做response coding

太太太繞口了

哦不 是繞腦

*

其實後來想想也是

我也沒有認真統計過

很多時候 沒有翻譯做的時候

還不是靠這些其他工作

來拯救營業額

*

如果當初果斷不做

今天也不會生存下來了

*

就好像 一家餐廳

總不能只賣一款飲料

大概是一個道理

哦不 我已經戒了所有飲料

*

然後 其實

我想說的就是

現在 感覺

日子再難

只要你有在動手

總是能扛過去的

*

此處應該附上本人的座右銘

“關關難過 關關過”

“三天打魚 兩天曬網”

*

都是些什麼東西

沒有一點正能量

*

明天6點前

還有5千+個字

要搞定

*

如果能夠4點起身就好了

中途還可以出去吃個早餐

*

我的星期五

也沒有念想了

只求不要加班

要加班也行

那週六不要加班

想睡一下

禮拜天可以工作

我沒問題

反正也沒什麼做

*
