Day 159: There is a lot of work (yesterday)

This was yesterday post. I was super busy that I forgot to save my draft. Basically yesterday was crunch time on the stuff I need to do. There are a lot of items on my checklist. After 7pm I went home since I was too tired to work. But I continue doing work since I knew that today was going to be a killer work day. My boss got a new laptop. I'm asking him to give it to me. I have to remind myself to write an email about that.

Day 158: Great day for lunch

Today work was as usual. But the only thing that was different is that I had lunch with my best friend and his wife and kid at a buffet sushi restaurant. It was good but I didn't eat to much since I have to go work again... Tomorrow it is going to be a busy day since there is a tender due.

Day 157: I can see the future... And it looks busy

We start Friday with a meeting of an upcoming project. There are a lot of things that we need to do and we don't have much time to do it. After that lunch time. During Friday prayers my friend fall and trip. That was shocking. Today I feel that I'm part of the team even though I don't play a big role in the team. My boss seem to be dependent on me from time to time which is good. I brought my office laptop just incase I feel like doing work. But most probably I'll play Ninja Gaiden instead 

80 Days

Third time is the charm

Game no: 127

Genre: Adventure 

Platform: iOS 

Duration: 4 days (+13 days for next game)

- Phinieus Fogg and his trusty valet Passportou have to travel the world in 80 days to win £20000.

Gaming consists of

- Reading

- Buying and selling

- Solving murders, fighting bad guys (all text based)

- Budgeting 

- Finding the best route around the world

What's good:

- The storyline is long and interesting 

- Buying stuff from one country that is cheap and selling it for 2000% profit

- Travelling by steam car, train, airship, rocket, horse (don't travel using horses), ferry, boat, a ship with legs

Day 156: My other boss is funny

Today another day of meetings. In the evening there was an internal meeting for the current project that we are working on. My other boss, the female one. She likes to send pranks to our whatapp group. She sent a ghost jump scare prank. The CEO got jumped scared and she was laughing maniacally... At least I know that my office mates have a sense of humor. Tomorrow another day of meetings 

Day 155: The work just got real

So there are a lot of things that need to be done and there is not much time in doing it. Lots of meetings today until I didn't had a chance to eat. All good since I'm trying to cut back on eating anyway. Not that much cash to spend 

Level up: +1

Current level: 31
