A little break

Posted on: Oct 14th 2006 | Posted by: Rolan

It’s saturday. But I’m still working. Nope, not that I’m forced to work or something, I’m just in the mood to work. Besides, I (kind of) set a deadline for the project I’m working on. I want to get it fully-functioning as early as possible because I’m planning to spice things up a bit and add a taste of Web 2.0 to it. After all, it’s my first official work project so I want it to be something that I can be proud of.

I’m also bored at home and too lazy to go out. It’s just one of those days that you don’t want to move your muscles too much. I’d rather sit here infront of my PC staring at the monitor all-day long. I wanted to know more about and learn how to use mootools. I’m planning to use it in my project for cool and usable effects but I won’t be able to until I finish some tasks. Hmmm… I’m kinda like off-setting my work for monday. Since grade school, monday is my laziest day, when I am at my most unproductive state. I’m working now just in case I catch the monday-sickness.

Whoops.. I can’t think what to add… maybe I should get back to work.

It’s nice to be back

After being offline for more than a week, I’m here again. I had to go on work leave in preparation for the Geodetic Engineering Licensure exam that was held last September 26 and 27. I was supposed to get back to work on the 28th, but a typhoon hit Manila directly . Power, communication and transpo went down (while billboards and roofs went flying around) . The power supply was restored (in our city, but major parts of Metro Manila are still down) the day after, but not the phonelines. I went to office, thinking that everything was put back to normal. Errrr… not. The situation at the office builduing was worse. No electric supply, except for the elevators and office lights. Alenaire was down so we were all sweaty at the office. Hoping that the power will be restored and we’d be back to work, we waited for several hours. What a waste of time. Office hours were over but still no light, so we just went home. Trains were shutdown due to power failure, so I had to take the bus for a two-hour trip. After another hour, I finally arrived home, and found out that the phoneline is back. Hooray! I worked at home the next day (even though it was a saturday). I almost forgot what I was doing before I went on leave, so I needed to catch up. By the way, the results of the exam was released on that day. I was quite relieved to see my name on the list of successful examinees. The cramming paid off. I need to fill-up some papers and attend the oath taking ceremony. After that, I’ll be a Geodetic engineer. Sweet.
