Seriously I dont see the point!
Busy busy busy bee.. As if base and non base works are not enough, now I got an instruction that we had to move cubicles (more like swapping). by Friday!!! *Arghhhhh*
Same floor, different direction. Reason being? so that the same dept could be "closer" together. Quatation mark because some would still be further apart.
Like seriously??? Wasted manhour for this futile movement. Newsflash, we change org every two years, and the two years line is approaching. What next? Move again?
This isn't 1990s where everyone should sit together. My manager is in Houston, supervisor is in Buenos Aires. I dont see the point for me to move around so that I could be closer to the local supervisor (which changes like every 6 months).
If i need to interact with others in this floor, there's always a phone, email and Instant Messages.
Unnecessary Stress!! FML!
Sigh, I'm longing pre BSC time...

Foreign species is being introduced
MOST people sigh in disappointment at the sight of worms in their durians but for the Choi family, these wriggly wonders have saved their orchard’s fruits.
While durian lovers shriek at the sight of worms that spoil the flesh of the fruit, Choi Yu Nen, 22, uses worms to improve his harvest and the taste of the fruits.
Choi Yu Nen, 22, uses worms to improve his harvest and the taste of fruits.
“Of course, the worms that destroy the fruit are different from the worms we use at the orchard.
“The flesh of our durians used to be quite hard and not very tasty.
“More than a year ago, I started using the African Night Crawler worms to make vermicompost for the orchard and the quality of fruits this season has improved significantly.
“I guess you could say that these worms saved our orchard,” he said when met at his family’s 0.6ha orchard in Teluk Kumbar, Penang, yesterday.
The 22-year-old biotechnology degree holder said he learnt about vermiculture when interning at the Penang Botanic Gardens before graduating.

====================================.
I hope he knows what he's doing. For a biotech degree holder he should.. Maybe he already did extensive research and confirm that spicies are non-invasive..
What happened if it turned out like african bee? or amazonian catfish? ... Choii!!! (no pun intended)

I did NOT
A year plus have I left the group, assuming my R&R had been taken over. Of course la kan, with blue-eyed, high profile replacement, they should be..
And few weeks ago I received this embarassing email from our senior techinal writer commenting on the (internal) website that "I" developed.
=====================================
Also, the "Under Construction" page says "Stay tune..."
maybe add a "d" for the benefit of native English speakers...
OMFG!!! I was so pissed:
1) The new developer used my template AND DID NOT removed my name from it.
2) I would never submit sub standard work (well, blog is different matter) esp high profile project like department website.
Shoot an email to prev supervisor :
Could you please instruct the new site creator to update the Primary Site Contact and the Support Mailbox on the IRC.
And please ask her to go through the QC first before publishing.
=====================================
Could be a career suicide because that girl is next in line for management position. But heck I dont give a fly!
Of course that girl took it badly and was so defensive arguing that she did consult others before publish it. *dropping some names*
my response??
"Them? No wonder..."
*turned to my prev sup* "I rest my case.." and walked away!
PRICELESS

Almost six month hiatus
Well, I hope the drought wont recur.
Caught up with work for the couple of months previously. The replacement didnt really perform as expected. She tried, but she could only take the easy application. For application that needs scripting or custom action (majority of the app), she had to pass it to me.
Cant blame her much. This is seriously not an level entry job. You need to know at least how to tweak the windows registries (HKLM, HKCU, HKU), some knowledge in batch files programming and VBScript and a good imagination (you need to foresee this function would do what in an application). Granted we only repackage whatever vendor gave to us, but most of the times vendor app is not enough to make work in EM environment.
BTW, for those who had no idea what i wrote above my job simply: Got the app from vendor --> Repackage it to our standard --> Make available to users in add/remove program. Example, we got Adobe Photoshop from vendor, we re-engineer the app i.e remove whatever functions not needed, add our controls, etc and we give it to our users.
On top of that, there's this lab restacking activities. And because I was the only male around, automatically responsibility the fell on me. Pretty pissed, but no point of complaining. Just do it.. save the headache and heartache.
Before:
================
Instead of moving 4 pcs to the left, the bitch who did the planning wanted to move everything to the right. Tried to reason with her, but she's not having any of it.. citing about she's more experienced than I was and it was her project. She's aiming for supervisory position next year, and wont let lower ranked person like me to become a hindrance.
During:
================
So, i alone had to move more than 15 pcs to the right side, unwired and rewired. Reconfigured KVMs and Network (Cisco routers) and relabeling.
After:
================
Oh and its not done though... Next monday, 100 new desktops/laptops are coming with 6 additional racks. The idiot want to put the rack next to the wall, blocking the hot air from being ventilated. Moreover, the wall is from the cardboard. and the floor wasnt enforced as in the 7th floor server room. Dont know how it could hold 100 machines in 6 racks in such a small space!
================
Thats one of the reason I was away from blogging, although deep inside I was raging mad...

A Story of a workaholic ranga, prudish jew, slutty septuagenarian and their pet horse!
aka SATC - S3x and the City II. The movie doesn't deserve the bad reviews though. A decent one I should say, although it lack certain umph as it was on the first movie.
I was lucky enough to be invited for the special screening at GSC Garden, Midvalley.
Thanks Elin!
The invitation said 7pm, thanks god we were late! The movie really started at 9!
Started late because of the pre movie event (launching the new cabriolet)... Clearly the MC never watched the movie nor the series.. She kept on yapping on the wrong info, too embarrassing to even hear them..
Not to mention the best dress winners! The white and the cleopatra-ish stand out the most because of WTF factor!
ENjoyed the movie so much although I missed at least three good scenes (the one with Miley Cyrus, the scene where the horse kissed Aidan, and the scene where Sam making love at the beach).. I had to many sodas... I had to go to the restroom all the time.
Oh well, can always rewatch them again in 2 weeks time.
Cant wait for the next installment - Sex and the City 3: The Menopause Kicks In
