Sudoku Madness

Sudoku has been a hit for years but I never really catch on until I move to a new company.

In my current workplace, one of our favourite pastime is playing crossword puzzles on the free Metro paper. However my interest in crossword quickly fades as words like "ERR" appear in the crossword solution - what kind of word is "ERR"? So my attention gradually shifts to Sudoku, and I must say it is pretty addictive. Now a day can't pass without a few games of Sudoku.

Here's a great site for some free Sudoku:

Pain in the Neck

Woke up on Tuesday morning with a killing pain in the neck...I'm going to throw my freaking pillow out of the window and just use a rolled-up towel as pillow from now on. The foam pillow is only good for one sleeping posture - if it fits you when you are on your back, then it will be too low when you are on your side; if it's perfect for sleeping on the side, then it's too high on the back. And who wouldn't toss around a bit during the night? I might as well strap myself to the bed to keep me sleeping on my back all night long.

Whoever invent the perfect pillow will be a rich man. Before then, Advil and ice pack will be my best friends.

Procrastination

Yes, I'm suppose to be writing my part of the group project write-up this weekend. Yet it's already Sunday 8pm and I have barely started anything.

Thanks to procrastination, my desk is sparkling clean - I have spent the entire weekend cleaning up papers that's been accumulating on my desk for months and perhaps years.

And I am updating my blog, doing anything but working on my paper.

For the next few hours, I'll have to strap myself to the chair and write the god-damned paper.

On a positive note, at least I have a clean desk to work on.

2nd Day

Today I receive my security badge and computer sign on. Let the training begin!

After being on the giving end of training for the past two weeks, it sure feels weird to be on the receiving end of training.

Feb 14: First Day

Today is my first day on the new job and I have tons of white fluffy stuff piling on the ground to greet me. I made a big mistake to walk from the train station to the company - it's a 30 min walk and by the time I reach the building, I cannot feel my legs and my glasses are laced with ice!

Apparently there are a lot of new hires, so I don't have a computer sign on yet. I end up spend most of the time with HR and reading the orientation material.

It definitely feels strange to leave the office at 4:30pm since I'm so used to a 10 hr work day at my old place.
