halu all! long time no blog! Been on a cathartic stage...lol! I think i'm permanently on that stage. I have this design for our blog which i've thought about a year ago, and i still haven't had time to do anything about it. Even more now cuz i'm working day and night. I think I haven't blogged about my job yet. I'm working as admin assistant, (yes) for a company called Performance Edge Systems. But my role is not strictly admin, because, guess what, i have a degree, and wouldn't it be nice for the company to use my degree but pay me as admin?! Well yeah. That's alright though, i'm not expreienced with the type of IT we do here, and besides, this IS experience for me. The company is also called E-cademy. We are a training company, we train people for call centres, we also train managers, wholesale/retail people, etc. We are like TAFE but private/company, and we offer traineeships on the job. We've expanded, and now we haev courses on-line. That;s where I come in. I basically manage it. The system is not complete yet, there's a lot of adding functions going on at the moment. I understand what it needs to do as it relates to the actual in the office function, and then I understand the technicalities of it which i then refer to the programmer. So I'm basically working on the SAD phase of it, while at the same time the programmer does the actual job. And then I also solve problems and queries, any errors, any complaints...yah. It's hard. it's tough. 90% of the time I don't know what I'm doing. I keep nagging people what to do, can you repeat it, i don't understand, blah. It's embarassing, i'm annoying, and i don't understand what's happening when there's too many! Besides that, i'm also sorta handling the on the job computer problems. Easy ones. It could be just more functions MSWord does (such as the dreaded section breaks needed for portrait/landscape combo, which i hate cuz it stuffs up the page numbers), or maybe something's wrong with the printer (which i basically just turn off completely then turn back on, and then it's printing fine now, what a genius!). Also doign back up tapes for the server (whoooeeeee, server, yeah all i do is take out a tape, then insert a new one, everyday), and etc etc. Any thing I can't do I refere to the expereinced IT guy who works off site and just gets called (he works in another company) when we need him adn then pay him $120 per hour! What the $@#! that's a shitload of money! (scuse the french). But he's expreineced, he knows evrything.
and the other job. it's still at NAB, but only 3 nights now. Don't want to let go such a great 2nd job.
oh oh oh! Have u guys seen last samurai?Q!! OmmyfreakinGawl! It's amazing! Tom-the bastard-cheater Cruise is amazing! In it anwyay. I did have trouble trying to reconcile the fact that what he did to Nicole for just wats-er-name-look-at-me-pretty. But anyway, the story is fantastic, the cinematography great, the acting was great! I just fell in love with Tom Cruise in that movie! Plus, i admit he does look good in it too! The bastard-big-toothed-freak!
I was gonna watch cold mountain too, but no time at the moment...i heard so many poeple say it's good...later. Watched underworld...it's ok. It's dirty, dark, messy...well what do you expect. In the preview the showed Gothika with Halle Berry. Freaky! That was a scary preview, it's going ot be a scary movie! There was a freakin scene which seemed like it's from the ring...ehhhhh my hair stands on end just thinking about it!
What else in my life..... besides work and movies that is. Let's see, there's my job and motion pictures i like to watch... (ngek, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!). Hmmnnn.... I just love reading fiction! It takes me to places i can't physically get to, and enter someone's else imagination I havent thought of. A friend of mine who got married last week is pregnant now. My wisdom tooth hurts, both sides. My hair is frizzy again despite last year's straightening session, but don't want to do it again cuz it would be so flat, my face would stick it more and make me look funny. Gotta love the hair i got now (maybe). And my sister got married.
until next year! (maybe i'll go on another cathartic pace. Darn! i gotta get back down to earth! wakey)
