First things first - here's a Happy Birthday greeting to one of my high school classmates, Mak! It's been too long since we last saw each other! Hope things are cool in your neck of the woods - figuratively speaking of course.
My training class at work is going a bit better than I had initially anticipated, and now I'm confident that I'll be able to finish a lot earlier than projected - as in around tomorrow. My work load should start to get lighter after that, the next two weeks beyond this one set to be dedicated more to working with my new trainer and getting him fully up to speed in terms of the product material. As much as I love training, the stress and tedium of running new hire class after new hire class can really wear thin on a person over time. I'm looking forward to more development-focused activities instead of just training over and over again.
The other work stuff is still there - not quite resolved for now. I'll have to come to an answer by the end of the week at the very most, although I feel like I'm almost ready to truly come to a reasonable conclusion to things. I've been consulting with a few different friends from work here and there in order to figure things out better. It makes sense that way - this is a work concern after all and so I guess the best person to consult with would definitely have to be my fellow co-workers. For the most part they should have a better understanding of the context of my decision and what elements may come into play. I might be right or I might be totally wrong, but at least with their help, I'll be able to process things better and come to a final solution of sorts that I can at least be comfortable with.
Coincidentally, I just received my Astrocenter horoscope in my email inbox - the text made me chuckle:
I'm watching the very last episode of Lost Season 5 as I compose this entry, believe it or not. I've managed to breeze through this season and now I'm right at the precipice of the final season. It's been an interesting run and I'm sort of proud that I'll now be able to watch the final season together with Tobie. He's been all decent by not giving into temptation by watching the new season without me and so I've tried to do my part by catching up as fast as I can. It's the little things, right?
Oh, and I'm now reading Edenborn, Nick Sagan's sequel to Edenfree. It's starting out interestingly enough although it's not quite as striking as Idlewild was. Like the first book, it remains to be a fairly light read and a good one at that and I look forward to seeing how Sagan will twist things around this time. He demonstrated good control over the proverbial plot twist as a writing device and I'd like to see the continued evolution of his writing style. Seriously, if you're into cyberpunk with a twist or generally more intellectual writing than the usual, then this is definitely going to be a good series to get into.
Oh, and I'm dead set on getting a Nokia E63 this Friday. With luck the supplier Tobie and I located at SM Cyberzone Cubao should have it in stock for the same price they quoted to us last Monday. The phone is generally cheaper than most of the other phones that I looked at but this particular bargain is ridiculously cheaper than all the other prices quoted to me. It could be available right now, as in today, but then they stated the latest it could possibly be back in stock is Friday, so I'm going for the safer, more certain option.
So here's to Friday - wish me luck!

So perhaps experimenting during your personal time can be more hazardous than you think.

Your horoscope for February 10, 2010You tend to be a perfectionist, rOckY, obsessing about details and wanting to do everything just right. Your rigor is admirable, but sometimes you could benefit from getting input from others. This is a good day to get some advice from friends or colleagues whose advice you can trust. You could be stuck on a problem that can easily be solved, once you look at things from a different angle.
