Timing

*sigh*
What a Tuesday!!
Suppose to be in for work at 8am and finish at 4pm. Had planned on coming home to wash hair, have a nice long bath, wash clothes and surf the net/play games...
Somehow, the whole schedule went haywire...

Woke up earlier (to get to work earlier) than intended due to some urgent 'report' that needed to be hand up to boss's boss by 9am+. So arrived at work around 7.30am, started rushing to finish it off; which I manage to... :b

Fast forward to 4pm...
4.12pm, I was still working!!! What happened there??? I forgotten I was only working til 4pm!!! Gawd!!
Then, I hung around to work on another 'report' cause I thought I have OT (evening OTs are normally 5-7pm). By 4.58pm, I noticed something amiss as the system did not prompt me to login (which it normally does 5 mins before start time). Click click check check.. OMG!! I do not have OT le!!! So I just *screamed* to my friends nearby, who don't want OT, I can replace him/her (since I was already there so long; btw, it's paid OT). So eventually, I replaced a friend's OT (she was rushing to complete her reports).

And cause of that, my whole planned schedule for the day went haywire and had to be scraped.
And yes, my dirty laundry is still waiting to be wash. Ugh!!
And oh, I blamed it all on the first event. That caused my timing to be off. ;b

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The other half said I'm too stressed out probably? *sigh*

Maybe so... the past 1 month+ has been crazy... The continuos working + team building + DR (Disaster Recovery) Drill 1, Pre DR Drill, then DR Drill 2, *quite* last minute was informed to give 2 trainings (training on 2 different 'applications', both were the first training I conducted *shy*), suddenly having 3 instead of 1 newbie(s) to teach/train/guide... Report(s) to do... And all this have not come to an end yet!!

2 of the newbies will be with me til Friday. They're okay, but I do hope they pick up the skills fast enough when they are on their own (after Friday), else I get complain later... :b
To be entrusted to guide 3 newbies is so.. so... so.... like such an honor? HAHA... One of the said that I am so greedy as I have 3 buddies (normally it's one to one). He calls me "sifu" *sweats*.

Report is incomplete... Still working on it. Must finish it off quickly.

But on some level, I am pretty glad to have more deskwork now than to just perform the task of "take calls log problem resolve/escalate problem blablabla..."

OMG!! Just realised I have some e-learning (@read & do the test online @intranet) that needs to be completed by end of June.

Argh... Why do time seem to pass so fast when I have a lot to do or when I am enjoying myself??

Computer repeatedly restarting..

Living in my aunt's house for the past one year plus, I somehow turned into their IT tech person. To be honest, my skills are horrible, but so far manage to solve almost all the problems that cropped up.

The other day, my cousin just told me his computer had some problem, and without offering more information..... just ran off to skate. *D'uh!*

So I just boot up the pc, and the computer just kept repeatedly restarting without going into windows (running on XP pro). Actually, there was also a black screen prompting on which mode that we would like to startup with, but no matter what mode was chosen, it will run and then just reboot itself. An attempt to restart on safe mode discovered that it stopped running at a file known as "agp440.sys". Just as what I expected as this is not the first time the problem crop up; probably the third time, I think.

Problem with this time was I knew what needs to be done, but did not have the installer. So I just informed my aunt that I would require the XP Pro cd, which took quite awhile to get through as she is not from IT background. :b
She finally produced the cd today (borrowed from friend).

So I happily went to attemp to solve the problem. :b
Put the cd in, hit R for repair. Then then then... *oops!!* DOS (I think is DOS gua~) appeared. *OOPS!!!!!* I forgotten what's the command; only remembered it ended with /r.
The last time it happened was months ago and I found the solution Googling.

This time around, I googled and googled but was unable to find the command. Argh. Then I stumbled on the check disk command and everything came back to me..... Woot!!

The command to run: chkdsk /r

Upon completion, exit, rebooted and tested ok.
Woot!!! I did it again! :b

Hehe... Actually, this post is a just "self-reminder" on what command to use if problem reoccurs.
Haha...

Highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus...

The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.

This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises. Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to your friends. If you do not have friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life

Do You Fart In Bed?

Sharing another joke received:

THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A COUPLE W HO HAD BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED FOR YEARS.

The only friction in their marriage was the husband's habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke. The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air.

Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor as she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out.

The years went by and he continued to rip them out.
Then one thanksgiving morning, she was preparing turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the innards and neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts and malicious thoughts came to her.

She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and gently pulling the bed covers back, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts.

Some time later, she heard her husband waken with his usuall trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic foot steps as he ran into the bathroom.

The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her eyes!
Afeter years of torture, she reckoned she had got him back pretty good.

About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his bloodstained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter.

He said, 'Honey, you were right. All these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you.'

'What do you mean?' asked his wife.

'Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out and today it finally happened. But by the grace of god, some vaseline and two fingers, I think I got most of them back in.

*title-less*

Forgotten what I originally wanted to blog... Opened blogger.. click click here there... Mind went blank! Sheesh.. Anyway, sharing a joke I received...


A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee.....

On his first day, he dialled the kitchen and shouted into the phone: "Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded: "You fool; you've dialled the wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to?"

"No" replied the trainee.

"It's the Managing Director of the company, you idiot!"

The trainee shouted back: "And do you know who YOU are talking to, you IDIOT?"

"No!" replied the Managing Director angrily.

"Thank God!" replied the trainee and put the phone down.....
