I must sleep soon. Liverpool plays Sheffield United at 4am and I wanna watch it.
Left the office at 930pm today. I realise why I am a B person. I procrastinate. A lot. Well... its not that I dont do my work. I finish my assignments in time. But usually I do it at the very last minute. Like just now we had a meeting at 430, me, Nor, the IFVS Team CPs, and then Nor asked me to update them on the hardware status. And I told them confidently about the servers, routers etc etc.. and then she asked me about the notebook and GPRS card. And then it dawned on me. Shit. The implementation is THIS coming Sunday... Fuck. I know I'm not going to get the ruggedised notebook in time, the invitation to quote just closed on the 16th and I am still writing the paper to award it. Did you manage to borrow a notebook from EUS then, Nor asked. Oh man... we've discussed about this like countless times. And the implementation is THIS SUNDAY! Heh like I need the thrill to complete everything at the 11th hour or something. I thought to myself, you definitely have to cancel the movie appointment tonight. Earlier on KC had suggested we go see Analyze That at GV Marina at 715. So I smsed him "Sorry dude, really busy, got to call it off." FRET NOT! Zul is here to set things right!
So immediately after the meeting I went into full gear, called up a few vendors, wrote some emails, completed the 2 outstanding papers..... Nor and the CPs stayed back too. I've got a lot to follow-up tomorrow. Merv called a few times but I was too busy to pick up the phone. Chatted with Lily while I was doing my work, hey she's still great to chat with. She reads this regularly, she said. Well, I told her that one fine day she might just read something she wont want to. She left earlier, walking into the sunset (i.e. through the dark corridors of BIS1 and to RRS) to meet her knight in shining armour (i.e. the pale white guy). That's a cheap shot. I must not write about him like that. I promise!.... I'll try. :p
Earlier in the day we had a unit meeting and one of the agenda item is for Lily and VV to do a demo of their new system to the whole unit. Lily presented first, and while she was babbling on VV and me bitched on and on about our B grades. Then an idea struck us... BANG! VV thought it would be cool if, during the demo, when he had to enter a name in one of the field, he enter "Bee Per Son" ('B' person). I went one up and suggested he enter "NotA@APA.com" in the email field. LOL! And when it was his turn to present, he actually tried to enter "Bee Per Son" but fumbled and entered "Bee Oer Son" or something like that. Heh. I hope Boon Nam got the meaning of it anyway. Pengecut.
ANYWAY. Tomorrow's going to be another long day in the server room. We're doing network, database and application testing from the new IFVS server all the way to the AVSS servers. I pray to God now that everything will work out fine. Oh, and it was Teffy's birthday today!
