at work!
at work now!
anyway im currently tasked to do this:
every book has an ISBN code(not the same as book code). so i have to go and find the book cover pics according to the book code and save them as the ISBN code.
n ive got 350 more book titles to do ):
really wish i was more IT savvy, geek-ish, so i could write a programme that would help me complete these tasks. wouldnt that save money/time/energy and add more joy to my work?(:
ANYWAY. thank God i have an ipod. its not so bad doing all these 'mechanical' stuff when u can rock, sway to the music. used to love this song 'the art of losing' by american hi-fi. now its back to liven my work. awesome song
but a really really really awesome part of working here is the resource library.
i wish i could OWN IT. hahahaha
me n jas would always go n borrow magazines like national geo (freq updated!), time, and some scientific mags.
really really love readers' digest. i shall go n source some out on my own. cant believe my mum stopped its subsciption without me knowing. ):
and now national geo's climbing up on my list.
all these magazines have like really amazing stories.
like about the heart -there's this one issue they show u pictures from an operation involving an artificial heart! :O
about memory - 2 extremes of memory. a person who rmb every single day of her life since she's 11. (now she's 41).
about nepal's situation, maoism, child soldiers.
about army medics, all the emergencies they face.
about medicine and evidence-based medicine.
if not for the availability of these magazines and conferences, i would be trying 100% to refrain from being grumpy and sleepy at work everyday haha. but anyway the bosses and people here are really really approachable(: so yeah, its still cool.
its weird that being in my office is like experiencing winter.to prevent all these comps from breaking down?? im like wearing a jacket plus a pullover (thanks jas(: ) n im still freezing. steph wouldnt be able to survive here! haha. but cold is definitely better than hot (:
realized i havent been watching my D Gray man! was pretty occupied with house mascot and whatsoever, that i totally forgot. shall catch up sometime
ohmyyyyyy.
350 more book titles.
