Revisiting my 101 List of Things to Do

I haven't written anything about my 101 List of Things To Do in what seems like 5 months. I've completed a few more of them and probably removing/adding new ones.

95. Actually go clubbing: I'm scratching this off cause I went clubbing with PineappleLurve on New Year's Day at night at Federal Hill in Baltimore. It was a club hang out, so it counts.

84. Ask someone to go on a date: So I met this girl online. We talked for at least a week and we seemed to really hit it off. She hinted of wanting to go to Medieval Times. I was already planning on asking her out to go to the movies with me. We actually became girlfriend/boyfriend. It only lasted for 2 days. I wasn't ready so I ended it. Cool thing about it is I asked someone out on a date.

Christmas work week

This work week leading up to Christmas will only be 3 days for me. We have 24th as a holiday and of course, Christmas day.

What sucks is that these three days will hurt the crap out of my team. Most of the people in the office are already on vacation. Some of our team leads will not be here at all. We are left to tend to our application. I just don't feel secure enough to have this system entrusted to my team and I (the new joiners from February). This is going to hurt a little bit.

Snowstorm kept almost everyone at home. I'll be walking funny tomorrow for lack of sleep and my hips and back are hurting from shoveling 28 inches of snow in the driveway.

More responsibilities

So I'm the "hot" commodity at the moment in my team. I'm being pulled by App Support, Build Team and Technical Architecture. I'm learning a lot of stuff and at the same time I'm doing different kinds of work besides the mundane tasks of doing change requests. It's a good thing career-wise. I'm definitely going to stand out of my peers and do great things. However, I'm doing more work. It keeps my mind occupied at least.

That's just my thought of the day.

3 days... 8 hours of sleep

I don't care about overtime pay... I just want some sleep.

Busy Body

Haven't blogged in 5 days or less. Been so busy with work. This week I'll be on call. I'm also coding for 3 people because they left during the build phase and I have to cover their leftover code. Other than that, I'm thrilled for my new car. I got in on Friday. It looks mean. I'll reveal all later when I have time to take pictures and whatnots. I'm still undecided on what to call "it."

Anyway, I went to Octoberfest at the Maryland State Fair. Lots of lederhosens and beer maiden costumes (sorry, I don't know what the term for the women's costume is). They had all kinds of beer there. I got to eat potato pancakes, bratwurst, spicy Italian sausage and some sweet, sweet popcorn. I should have bought a large bag... it would have lasted me the entire day. I couldn't stay long because I had to go to the car dealer and install the wheel locks. Overall it was a good day. Then I had to go to work on Sunday to code. My team lead and co-worker was there since Saturday night. Good thing they didn't have to stay another day.

Anyway, that's about it. I'm being a busy-body this week. Hopefully everything settles down.

I still need to see Paranormal Activities and other movies I've missed.

Besides being on call and the upcoming date auction for Asian Student Connection at UMBC, I don't have any other plans this week.

I'm done.
