The start of a Mountain climb... and the summit is nowhere in sight... yet

Yesterday there was a meeting to discuss the amount of work that the team has to do for a client, as there is more than enough for everyone. (In fact, you may say, more than needed lol).

So the meeting spoke of who was doing what and how things were going; it is going to be like this for 3 weeks; heavy going, late nights nearly and lots of effort. It is what is expected. 

Now for me, i like to go home at the time i need to; but Boo let me know, it will make a better impression that I stick it for the team, and if it is inconvenient for me, that is ok. I see what she means, as this will look great on a CV, and also interviews in future; so i need to make a note of the situation and how it was processed by me to maximize this for future jobs. 

So yesterday also was partly full of stress, as i had no idea for a while what to do with the work i was given; headaches raged; tempers within flared; and a lot of praying was done. I also went to the gym, and now i'm sore, so i am happy about that. 

Legs today, so i am looking to that with happiness. 

As for today, I picked up where i left off; but this time, it was different. I had music, which was EPIC. 

And when i say epic, i mean EPIC; think of movie trailers and orchaestras and it comes close to that! Imagine that being in your ears for a good 4 horus, and you see what i mean; i was doing work, and it felt like I was in a movie doing it all! Lol; was quite fun. :) Update: it still is. 

I am learning a lot by being it the deep end like this; but the best time to grow is under all this pressure. Also remembering my principle of accepting not expecting helps. 

So while we are 4 people down at the moment, the CS team is coping and I am making sure i am doing my part to make sure we smash this out of the park and be the best we can be!

A sort of pride to make a good impression on the team and my manager makes me want to do my utmost! or 一生懸命！（isshoukenmei)

It is amazing how music can change the atmosphere just like that! Very marvelous thing, music is! 

So while i have some time, I have been able to write this blog.. I am happy with what i've achieved so far.. 

Still a Long way to go; still a mountain to climb; but God is helping me every step of the way.. So i can feel like this:

While being in front of what seems like this:

Such a busy day today!

Man today was busy!

First of all, I had a meeting that dealt with some client that needed work handed out; I got 2 things, but man when i started one, which was supposed to be straightforward, there was some things that wasnt ready and it was crazy!

I felt like this:

Eventually it calmed down somewhat.. I think.. Lol. 

It took such a while to do that I didnt get to eat til late; and i was hungry by that time, but still making sure nothing spoiled my mood!  (I think i won on that front!)

After that, I had a training session on Mobile Optimization; now here is the cool part; it was around a lot of coding, and the purpose was to turn stuff from just a desktop experience to one on the mobile device. 

For the sake of me not remembering it all right now, the picture explains it:

I basically learned how to do the left as opposed to the right happening within email. 

And there are even much more stuff that can be done which i wanted to talk about; but at the moment, i can't remember it. All in all, a busy day, and i am happy i'm home.

Definitely tired and definitely want my Boo :)

Ah, marriage needs to hurry up; thats for sure :)

End of the week!

And it has been a good week :)

From launching my first 2 campaigns, to hitting my targets so far in this placement; God has been amazing to little ol me (I know, I'm actually not that old ;) )

Either way, its the weekend now, and I am hungry and I got a fiancee at my house waiting for me :)

Good stuff all round; and atm, I am just monitoring some stuff as well. I feel like one of those security guards watching the cameras for any activity: kinda like this:

Just not that many monitors though...

I also found out that after booking my annual leave for next month (i had to flip a coin to decide whether Monday or Friday, I am THAT indecisive; came up for Friday), that I have another day off due to the CEO giving the whole company one  :) 

So thanks Dan!
