A Cup Of Complacency

As cozy...



...as a cup of hot coffee.

On gloomy days like today, a cup of coffee offers the much needed warmth and comfort, enough to thaw my frozen ears and nose back to life.

It's cold but I'm doing fine! :)

Blue, White, Green Stripes

As mildly entertaining...



...as realizing how your toothpaste and t-shirt look very similar.

I was in front of the mirror, putting toothpaste on my toothbrush, when I realized that the blue-white-green stripes of that triple action toothpaste I was using bore resemblance of the blue-white-green striped shirt that I was wearing. What a coincidence. This earned a short but hearty laugh from me. I think it's cute.

And this probably just validates how weird I am. :)

A Meeting Is A Meeting Is A Meeting...

As riveting...



...as answering ten client questions in record-breaking two minutes.

A meeting is a meeting is a meeting--no matter how fast you downplay your meeting time or how long it takes for you to explain stuff--it's still going to be another scheduled meeting off the calendar list. Even if you cross it out, it will still pave way for more follow ups. Which creates another cycle of meetings, meetings, meetings.

And what's surprising about this realization is I'm not even annoyed. I like meetings. It just means I have a job that's paying me, and in this uncertain times I think it's one good news.

Ah, life. :)

Night Time Wonders

As relaxing...



...as silence at 2 in the mid-morning.

So this is how 2 a.m. feels--everyone's off to slumber land and you are wide awake, and there's this urge to just jump on to your bed and curl underneath your sheets, but resistance is great because the work needs to get finished, pronto. Must not lull to sleep, must not count forty winks.

I have never missed my bed the way I missed it for two nights straight that I've worked on this project.

I'm just glad to have made it through the hurdles.

P Effin' S

As maddeningly frustrating...



...as a Photoshop crash when you're about to hit the save button.

Oh yeah, Photoeffinshop alright. I was in the last leg of this project that I've toiled on for the last four hours when the whole thing just crashed. And I was just seconds from saving the file. I've been scouring the web for answers, but so far, posts have been directing me to look for .tmp files--these are recovery files, granted one was able to save before the crash. Which I wasn't able to do. So not exactly helpful.

Oh darn. Now I have to start from the very beginning. Great, great, just great.

Note to self: Save the darn file every 30 minutes!

Mad

As calming...



...as pastel colours after a crazy round of intense rebuttals.

I am seriously mad today. I got into an argument with somebody, and as always, my case never made it to the court.

Here's a shoutout: all I need is a heartfelt apology!

So here I am, in front of my computer monitor, looking at pastel colours. I know it's weird, but it does work for me, soothing me when things get too heated. How about you? What's your cooler when you overheat?

My Right Hand Is Killing Me

As straining...



...as a straight 18-hour use of a computer mouse.

If I was a paranoid freak I would've have believed carpal tunnel syndrome has just kicked in on my right hand for using the mouse for long periods of time.

Note to self: Get a five-minute, hand-stretching break every hour to avoid stressing the working hand too much.

And I quote my colleague... "Do not give any health problems to the hand that feeds you."

Lol.
