I have not been able to sleep through the night for the past month or two. I would get tired, but would wake up 3-5 times a night for no apparent reason. Was it worries or stress? I cannot tell.
Lay off situation at work is making me tense. The company gave them two months notice [...]
When under stress or feeling overwhelmed, people do strange things. I went to get a hair cut. I let hair grow for 3 years without a trim, didn’t think much about the lack of style or what impression people have of me. IT is a very conservative place; I do not see a lot of [...]
It’s Friday nearly 6pm. 60% to 70% of the folks already left work to enjoy early start of the weekend. I am still in office, battling with tool limitations and various manual steps of compiling/deploying/testing. It’s a life of a developer who’s starting to get behind schedule. Yup. That’s me.
I was washing cups in the [...]
If you have allergy, you know how annoying it is to get watering eyes, sneezing, running nose, congestion and so on. I used to carry pocket-size Kleenex with me all the time because of it.
I tried taking Claritin-D, but that stuff takes a while to kick in. Later I tried Zertec-D and loved it for [...]
I haven’t been blogging much in the past year or so. Well, nothing major happened! I have not been as silly as before (so I hope), and I have not been traveling at all. So really there is nothing worth blogging about.
But I managed to keep myself quite busy at home, very busy [...]
I finally had all my wisdom teeth pulled last Friday. Yak!
I had been postponing it for years for fear of the pain. Then this year I started to feel a nagging pain around my jaws. The stupid wisdom teeth somehow decided to grow up so fast as if they were trying to break the soil [...]
Last month I started to learn and use C# for work. Everybody on the team is new to .NET. But in a Scrum environment, we have much to deliver with very little time (or no time in this case) for training. So I picked up a book or two and dived right [...]
It’s been damn hot around here the past two weeks; everyday over 90 degrees out there, and I have to walk at least 5-7 minutes one way to get to my car at a surface parking lot for work. I don’t usually sweat much. In fact, 80 degree is my perfect temperature. Yet now I [...]
While I was reading a few friends’ blogs, I found a common theme from their recent posts: they missed their UCI college years.
I tried to look back to my own, too. But I could not find what they saw in mine. I saw myself falling, getting up, growing up, and changing. But [...]
Count down to 3 days till the last day in Adcom. =)
I’ve been busy with all the transition and cross-training. Meetings after meetings. I have never met with so many people so frequently in such a short period of time, ever. I sometimes think, why can’t they just chill? What’s the [...]
