Do I need to add anything?Just another day at work on a saturday.
I wasn't alone in the office, but all of us where just sitting in front of the PC pushing the keys on our keyboards, pushing the mouse from point A to point B and of course clicking everything that could and should be clicked.
Back to normal? I guess so, I hope so. After the deep thinking of last night today felt more like any other day at Medeea Web Works.
Forgive and forget?Maybe, definitely i think. It will take some time till i shall once more be looked upon as a solid base but that time will come soon, there's no reason for holding a grudge.
Today was just like any normal day, we played a prank on one of our colleagues and then laughed all day about.
It's good to be back, even though i never actually left.
Before i go into it, i would like to warn any casual reader that this post is going to be very long, so if you are not interested don't even think about clicking the read more link.
Unlike working on a saturday, you can't get around not showing up on a Monday. I for one kind of feel like a Monday is more productive then a Saturday.
Monday is the first day of the week(at least where I'm from) and as such is a real blast. It's even better when it's raining outside like today, then you are really motivated to work and work some more.
On the other hand, Monday is good because you can make some plans for what will happen during this week. I for example just got a confirmation email, which means i shall be giving another presentation. This time though it will be for my university so i think there will be no screen cast I'm really excited about giving another presentation the only downside is that i am supposed to give a presentation about an application I'm building, but at this moment the application does not exist yet.
What does this mean? Well it means I've got 2 days to create a small demo and the slides. Wish me good luck.
There is nothing more worse then working on a Saturday or is there? I do not know why but Saturday always feels different, even if I'm at work it's not like the other days.
The best thing about working on Saturday is that you can start each sentence with the words " working on Saturday" and finish it off by saying "the weather is too good to work, so i think i'll just skip it", but then you are somehow reminded that you should do something so you open up your tools and start working.
Even though Friday is a slow day too, it's not as special as Saturday, so I sometimes feel i can get more done on a Friday then on a Saturday.
With that said I leave you with one advice: DO NOT WORK ON SATURDAY or if you have to, then hurry up so you can go home sooner.
A long time ago i wrote about my standard issue headphones, which where mono. Today I'm happy to report that i bought a brand new set of stereo headphones. The good thing is that now i finally can listen to my own music and get into the "zone", the bad part is that i miss the jokes and can't see when someone wants me to help them.
Up until now i always had one ear free to listen to the people around me, which was good and bad at the same time, now i'm completly isolated in my own little world.
So the question is: Is it better to be isolated or is it better to be a part of the world?
Now and then i enjoy a good horror movie and i know that at least one of my dear readers also enjoys watching these kind of movies. Tonight i decided to watch 7eventy 5ive, the trailer kinda tells the story. The story is good, as far as horror movies go.
In related news, I'm happy to announce that one of my recent creations will soon see the light of day and that i'll be very happy to present it to you all. More on these as it develops.
On a more personal note, i have to say that I'm either developing some kind of stress related pain or I did something very wrong, because my left knee is in pain. It does not mather if I sit,stand,walk,run,jump or whatever it keeps hurting, there's a constant flow of pain. I don't know why i just know it's there and that it's starting to make life harder.
On a more professional note I am very sad to report that I managed to miss another deadline. But my current project feels like a monster, a 20feet tall monster that is. It has too much in it and yet it doesn't even do 20% of what it should do. If I could I'd rewrite it from scratch, but I don't know if it's too late, did i already cross the line of no return?Did I already commit to this monster?
Time will tell, but one thing is for sure i'm defenetly going to enjoy the 3 day weekend that's about to start tomorrow after work.
One las worth of advice, watch 7eventy 5ive and enjoy watching people get killed with an axe.
"Every now and then" and that' as far as i could go with this post, no mather how much i try i just can't freakin' find a nice intro to tell you all about the fact that me and the guys at the office decided to go out and have some fun last night. This wasn't the first time we did this, but this time it was very different.
So what does one do when everybody around is just to loud? Or when you want to get into the "zone". You know that special place where your mind has to be in order for you to work at maximum efficiency? You put your headphones on and listen to some music of course.
Well at least that's the theory, in practice you are limited by cable length and available mp3-es to listen to if Internet radio is a no go because of your low non existent Internet connection speed.
What is even more frustrating and the reason why I'm writing this done is the fact that in my workplace i did get a standard issued headphone, but they are over a year old now and you have to hold your head in a very strange position if you want to enjoy your music in stereo.
So if you look around your office, home or what not and see someone holding they head in a very strange and unnatural position then you know it's time to buy them a new set of headphones.
