Day 12: I'm feeling sick

Got medical leave yesterday due to food poisoning. Today back at work but still not at 100%. Company briefing was today and that when they introduce the new member of staff. It turns out you need to do something silly like dance or sing. Good thing my stand up act work to divert the attention. Glad that's over. Got cake and tarts after the brief was over. I have a client meeting at 1800 hours and it's damn far... What to do..

Update...

Forgot to post yesterday's logs... So went for a late night meeting that was fun. It seems that I was the only person who lives more than 25 miles from the area. The rain doesn't help it one bit

Day 11: I'm starting to get the hang of it

Weekly meeting as usual. I was suddenly shanghaied to a meeting by my boss. My job is basically one long class. Everyday different test will come and I need to prepare for the exam. So basically I'm back to school again, only this time I'm getting paid to do it. Another client meet which always good knowledge updating. Same day tomorrow... I guess. Oh yeah... Finally got my name card

Avengers Age of Ultron



My most anticipated movie of 2015 is finally here. This movie far surpassed that first movie . Don't know why there is so much hate in it. Everyone was great. Breakout stars are The Vision aka Jarvis and Hawkeye. Their on screen time has the most impact. The least character development in my opinion is Captain America. The Hulk has a killer screen time with the Hulkbuster. But other than that is mostly the same. Scarlet Witch is the best new Avenger to come on board. War Machine and the Falcon have also a little role it in. Ultron is a good bad guy but not a great one. He is just there to buffer out until the third movie. James Spader nails the voice perfectly. The only issue is I do believe that stakes are high but not as high as the first movie since its in a small area. We get a nod to the new Black Panther and the after class edit scene is a set up for the next Avengers movie. Overall enjoyable movie. Will see it at least one more time

5/5

Day 10: New friends, new stories

Today I'm alone again . We'll sort of... My partner was here like 10 mins and now he is gone... Anywhoo, met a couple new  friends. Everybody is like picking on me saying that I need to follow procedures. Don't bypass people to get something. So I did something by the book and it turns out it was the wrong thing to do. I think I get a pass now since I'm still new. But lesson learn... Don't listen to horror stories. I'm guessing there will be a time I am going to get screamed at. On that day the title for that post is called "the chain of screaming"

Day 9: Shit just got partly real...

Today is another awesome day since I was only in my desk for less than 2 hours. Had a briefing on the new company hospitalization policy. After lunch had a visit from a high profile client. One of the guy who visited us resembles like a certain ceo of a famous game company (hint... The cake is a lie). Got my first real but supervised assignment. Which is cool since it's non critical. Tomorrow is Friday... Man time goes by very quick.

Day 8: 2 meetings an a training session

Today I was so packed with activities that I haven't had time to post. Today had 2 meetings. One with the government sector and another with the private. I notice that in the government sector the meeting was more smoke and mirrors than tr actual result. While in the private sector is more straight to the point. You know when the meeting is important when the head of department joins in. After 6 was a training session for project management. Came home at 9. Awesome day

Day 7: Work 3 Hours... Work 3 Hours

As its state in today's title I only work for 3 hours. Came to the office at 215. Was with a client with my boss and sales rep. It turns out my job will be 90% talking to the client while the sales rep does the deals. Looking at my boss on how confident he explains about the products make me wonder am I fit for this job... All I know is I have a lot to learn... So much to do in so little time...

Day 6: First weekly meeting

It turns out every Monday all departments across the board has their weekly meeting updates. Went to my first meeting and just listen to what of the rest of the people have to say. Until they call out my name and ask me if I have anything to add... I said probably not. They expect me to undergo training soon. Got a client meet tomorrow with the boss. This is going to be exciting. I hope. The commute is long...

Day 5: More of the same

Today is practically doing more the same thing. Reading and understanding about stuff. My boss said starting next week my training begins. After office hours. Probably is more wax on and wax off. So it has begun... It's close to getting real. Well on plus side is I get to enjoy 2 days of break before I have to start the cycle all over again.

Day 4: Its a small world after all

Today met a very interesting duo. Both of them work on a different floor. But the more interesting part is one of them is a cousin. More like 2nd cousin... Probably.. I am not that sure. Both of them treat me for lunch today. Give me the low down about the organization. It turns out that you need to be able to cover your own ass in case something goes wrong. Emails are very important... Above all, always back up your work... Loving this place more and more...

Day 3: All by myself...

Today most of my friends that I've met this past couple of days were absent from work today. So lunch by myself... Not a big deal. My boss is super busy so I decided to look at reports from past projects since sitting down doing nothing is wayyyyyy fun... Let's see if I can get out right on the dot

It's day 4 and I forgot to post day 3 day... Have to remind myself of to do it before sleep. On the plus side I got almost 95% of my company stuff including shirts

Day 2: Ready... Set... Go

Finally got my laptop set up. Now I can start learning about my job. Seems pretty straightforward from the looks of it. There are probably a lot of technical jargon I need to learn about. But I see that as a challenge. My boss already given me my first project. Still unsure of what I am supposed to do... Made a couple more new friends for lunch today. People in the office are saying that my department is the most hectic department in the whole company... What the fudge I've gotten myself into... Before I left I got my new phone which is another iPhone but this time is a 5S.

Day 1: Brave New World

The My first day of work so I decide to keep a journal. This will be written concurrently with the day I'm having. Only the good parts so I don't go insane when I come back.

8:22

Arrived at the office. Made good time since I left quite late.

8:33

Came to the office and everyone is very friendly. Breakfast is provided but my tummy says maybe not...

9:42

At the bank right now. I met another dude who first day is today as well. But he is at the 1st floor and I am on 18th... Oh well at least Google maps help guide us to the bank

11:00

Finish my tot of the building. The 18 story building is quite huge. Among the perks so far is free flow drinks. Can wear anything to work which probably I might do after a while and everyone seems nice. I went to the toilet just now and after flushing the whole office went dark. Great first day so far. Now I am waiting in my cubicle for my boss to come to me...

It turns out Monday is meeting day... It's been 2 hours already 

11:30

KC treated me to lunch at a Thai place. Mention stuff about the business. All was good. Going for a client meet soon.

4:30

Meeting finished and now back to the office. After staring at the wall I finally got my access card and parking card... Woot 

5:30

Back home... Tomorrow rinse repeat and reuse

Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu

Game: Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu
Genre: Platformer 
Platform: NES
Overview: I've played this game 20 years ago and I remember it being monstrously hard. Playing it on my handheld is much better. There are save states all around so I can make sure I didn't die that fast. This game is hard. Makes you wonder that the money that you spend for a single cartridge, the game must last long
What I liked: Power ups, bosses, platforming 
What I didn't liked: difficulty, dying and starting again. No save points 

4/5

I've got a job

Finally after being a professional hobo for 7 years I am finally beginning a new chapter in my life. Employment. I'm scared and excited at the same time. But it's about due time that i start doing something with my life. This does mean that I probably won't hit my 24 game mark. But it's still too early to tell... I am changing the way I write the blog by making a work journal. Probably going to be publish one day. No names of course but it's going to be fun otherwise...

Furious 7


The final chapter for the late Paul Walker. Glad they make the movie that he doesn't die in the end. The action is over the top unrealistic, the bad guy is a cliché, the cars are fast and the rock is invincible. But it's a great summer movie. This movie is going to do well. There is probably going to be a fast 8 in the near future. Hope they can find someone as good as Paul walker... May he rip...

4/5
