Just found out today that the Vendor coming for the big project I'm signed up for is......as my other boss put it "green as grass." IT boss told Controls boss and me that he isn't an expert (we had assumed so) and is just someone who is willing to go through the project to learn. AKA he knows even less than I do...he's a SQL programmer for Weyerhaeuser somewhere and wants pulpmill experience.Gah!
The rest of this week is for me to research this system as much as possible and contact companies to give demos.
Pretty excited to take on something new, but at the same time...my IT boss always does this, lol. We haven't even closed up our old projects and we prob won't. I'd do it but I don't have the access to. /shrug!
Kick up progression has not gone any further! I can't get past the point I'm at >< Due date is this weekend too...
Am I coming back this weekend? I don't know. I'm really starting to detest wasting 8+ hours each weekend going back and forth...
Hmm walking thing. I'm getting DESTROYED by everyone else and the teams. Well, I don't count the teams since they get to add their kms together...must...walk...more! Went with Marvin and Wilson to Bear Creek the other day but they didn't want to walk past the section that had a bear and deer warning sign.
Maybe I shall go today...weather is still nice and sunny...or wait I need bread for sandwiches...walk to store? Both? Hm....

Meep.
Blargh. I am now scheduled for a large project that kicks off...right after our July trip to Lake Louise. More manuals to read, yay!
Lets see...goals. I haven't been doing half of them, haha. Haven't picked anything for guitar yet, and I have yet to do all the organizing I said I'd do...
I joined a walking distance challenge at work. I think I've talked about this before. Anyways, that is going well. The weather is nice which is helping a lot, though I don't mind walking in light rain...probably not too healthy though.
Kick up progress > I have finally gotten the hang of using my arms as well...and I get that "air" feeling. Then I land on my back or ass. Maybe my butt's too big...I dunno! I just need like a little bit more but I can't get it! xD Like Damien said, it's sometimes hard if no one is watching you. You can't watch yourself...I guess you can record yourself. But yeah, I dunno what I look like and it would help a lot if someone could comment, haha! I keep telling myself to watch videos of people doing it but haven't gotten around to that...
Eep. My storywriting/copying due date is tomorrow too. I was supposed to get to the point where they get branded as l'Cie (for those of you who know FFXIII). Haven't done much editing either...I keep changing my mind. That's the hard part I guess...deciding to leave the sentence as is and stop to fixing it :D
As Osaka would say..."get it together, get it together..."

Weekend!
Whoops! I was going to post yesterday but Blogger was down....
Anyways! Edmonton on the weekend! But there wasn't enough time >< sis and I were like bat pohs (Hakka accent...) the whole time. Blargh! Lots of...pirated goods hm hm hm >D Pokemon was extremely hilarious...."let us unica the world!" or something....it was bad English, half Spanish, and random Jap parts. Uhm, yeah...just lots of catching up...
We watched Prince of Persia! I liked it. The ending was kinda bleh but whatever. I'm easily entertained...
Haha! The gas station attendants recognize me now..."Hey you were here 2 weeks ago!" OTL "Yes...." Other attendant: "Do you have a points card blah blah or rewards thing blah blah." First attendant: "No, she doesn't, I remember from last time." XDDDDD
So yeah....that was my weekend...nothing crazy. Hopefully next time I can chill with some OTHER ppl next time....you know who you are :D and do stuff....I still haven't gone to Southgate yet..or bought new sneakers...or bought any new clothes since 2010 started actually. OTL
Omg I forgot about Judge Judy! GO TV GO FASTER.
Hm. Oh, I signed up for this walking goal thing at work. 684 km, which is from here to Banff...we have 1 month to complete that challenge...so I guess I will be walking...maybe...might not happen....my coworkers were telling me to just shake it like 5000x times everyday at 6 pm or something. I virtually backhanded them....too bad it got rainy!
I have a story to copy too, to refresh my writing skills...

Dx
Haha. Downloading software...is never easy. Spent 3 hours on the phone to figure out that the problem was our anti-virus. Now before I get flamed from computer ppl, yes we probably should have turned it off, but again, this is a corporate/business server so simple things like that have to go through a certain and timely process.....same for restarting a machine. Bleh!
On the bright side, since the vendor will still be here tomorrow, he will be giving a presentation on the software instead of me. I'm actually totally comfortable with doing it, but might as well use the expert, right? :D
VJ is back! and jetlagged! Mahaha.
Man, there's never enough time.....

Vendorrrr Visit!
A guy from another company came to upgrade one of our programs. I'm totally in charge. Of course, technical difficulties decided to attack today. Do I need to say overtime? :( For once, the vendor looks like his voice, if that makes sense. Young guy, and comfortable to be around, so there isn't really any awkwardness that you usually get from hanging around with a stranger for an entire day. Hopefully everything works out tmr.....the server I connect to decided to fail on a critical upgrade, wiping all user configurations on that box too. Good thing I saved everything on a networked drive since bad stuff happened when we had the blackout D:
New stuff, new stuff......still can't do a kick-up....I get that feeling of momentum every few tries but then I rush and end up falling on my ass. Well, no. My back.
VJ comes back to Edmonton today around 8:30 pm or so! Excited to visit her and see my mom this weekend. I bet she's black. Jk! Jk. She won't let me keep the ps3 though :( Should I just...not bring it with me?! Mahaha. She doesn't have her license so not like she can drive to come get it....just kidding again.....VJ's the boss :(
So nice outside....I want to....sit with my laptop. But then that kinda defeats the purpose, so I just have the patio door open. I'm so lame, haha! Though the grass in front of my patio thing is gross compared to everyone else's. Grass greener on the other side deal there.
Really itching for a road trip!! That road trip! Bring music guys!!
