I'm glad the Olympics are ending in a couple of days. It's taking its toll on me. I'm not sure how many more nights of sleeping at 1:30am I can take before I start to fall asleep at work. Two nights ago, I watched an exciting Canada vs. Cuba Men's baseball semi-final until past 4am -- knowing very well that I would have the next day off thanks to Typhoon Ally. At this point, the G-S-B medal count sits at 4-5-2 for a total of 11 medals. Hey, I'm a Canadian Taiwanese, so I root for both sides. Damn those American-Chinese with their 137 medals. >:(

Last night, I installed a piece of aluminum in my washroom to block water from spreading from shower area to the rest of the washroom. All it took was a little common silicon caulk, and the ol' index finger. I have to wait for the caulk to cure before I try it tonight, although it should make my post-shower experience all the better. It was a Do-It-Yourself project (or "D.I.Y." as they say here) that really looks like a Do-It-Yourself project. Whatever, I'm happy with it... who cares what you think.

I was extremely pissed off early today when I received some news of my laptop back home - so much so that I was almost shaking from anger. But I guess I'll relate that story in full when it's deemed over.

I've been working for a full month now, and I guess things are still coming along smoothly. It was starting to get a little boring for a short while, but I've been given some work to do, so I'm happy to report that I'm entertained with it. I have a deliverable some 3 weeks from now. Good to have pressure. I can't work in a relaxed environment because there's no incentive to stay motivated. I need more "DO IT or LOSE YOUR JOB" kind of work. :) ... hope I don't lose my job.
