Messed up

I used to called November the slacker month. It's my birth month, and as the slacker extraordinaire, naturally November is the slacker month, hehe. =P

November is coming to an end, and continuously since 26th of October, I have not had a day without working overtime. So much for being slacker month...

I will have to check my record to see what's the streak prior to 26th of October, but the current streak of continuously working overtime, including the weekend, is since 26th of October, 34 days so far.

If I remember correctly, I exceeded my yesteryear's overtime count on my birthday, so much for being the slacker extraordinaire. I am ashamed of myself. Really I am.

The real messed up stuff is that when the server needed a reboot on Thursday night, and I got a relatively short overtime that evening because I couldn't set any simulation cases to run overnight, I felt... strange, unease, not used to not working till I drop.

And this weekend, also comparatively short overtime hours in this current streak, that I got time to do my own stuff, like watch a movie or two, like play some computer game. It's supposed to be normal weekend, yet I feel very weird.

My work/life balance is non-existent for so long that I am so messed up now.

17th anniversary

Happy 17th anniversary, my dearest wifey!

We have come a long way since that beach wedding seventeen years ago.

Ups and downs, the good and the bad. Still together, still holding hands, still going strong.

The rose is not much, but it's something I want to do every anniversary since it's a symbolic gesture that shows I still remember, that I don't take things for granted.

Here's hoping there are still many anniversaries to come.

Love you! ^_^

又成功！

十月二十六日开始至到昨天，十六天，每一天都加时工作。

没有一天间断过，周日或周末没有区别，连拿了一天假加上屠妖节公假凑成的四天长周末也不例外…

这星期周一开始，每一天晚餐后继续工作到凌晨十二点至一点左右，太累不能继续了才停止。

所以今天我能准时下班，我突然觉得很成功。

成功的定义因人而异，毕竟每个人不一样。

不同的层次、观点、经历、要求、处境、和时刻，造就不同的「成功」的概念。

今天我可以准时下班，我是真心觉得自己很成功的。感觉太好了！

View count broke record, a new low! *achievement unlocked* =P

Sure seems like if I do not post a link in social media, then people will not read the blog. Tried and tested.

Not a bookmark-worthy blog. I get it.

It's a personal online diary after all. My wicked sense of humour and sarcasm, plus the copious amount of whines and rants are not for all, only for those with exquisite taste. ;)

As usual, thank you for reading this blog, and I sincerely hope you get something out of it.
