WTF

It's just Tuesday, and I am already drained.

Three more working days to go, WTF. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

And because of the parachuted task, expected to be working through the weekend.

WTF!

杂记

这几天感觉怪怪的。又不算是低能量，但却又很没有劲。不是不快乐，但又不是快乐。

*****

构思了多年，慢慢成形的小说？故事？这几天突然有很多点被连上了。

写写删删，仍旧没有开头，也没有结局。就是脑里的某些情节的扩展和连接更清晰了。或许，就用茶餐室的那个情节当开头吧？

应该开始想些名字。快乐茶餐室？欸，小说或故事该叫什么呢？奇人？异能？有缘事故？

*****

恋爱综艺升级变成结婚综艺了？有多少对修成正果的情侣在节目结束后真的结婚的呢？

不重要，也不关我的事。在看节目时能牵动我的情感就够了。

*****

工作乏力。心乱、心烦、心散。

是失焦，还是失信？

唉…

Band aid

Half day leave today, so am chilling it out now. =)

Before I start to truly chill out though, just want to get this rant out of my system.

So sure, the current latest and not so greatest product has its ups, but in terms of thermal, it's a gigantic down.

The more I learned about the base design stuff in order to save the mess it created for the customer facing end product team, the more I question the design team.

Seriously, WTF? How was that 40% increase in cooling need justified? The thermal engineer in the design team is okay with that? Ever like, consider what's the impact to the customer?

And all those questionable and dodgy changes that break so many stuff for thermal, how did they passed review. Or was the review bypassed?

And for goodness sake, the following product is following this crap? Two generations of customer complaints and probably jump ship then. Great, no thanks for making life harder for us who face the customers.

So sure, management, pushing us customer facing team for ways to salvage this mess. All band aids that patch things up a bit, nothing close to resolving the true issue.

You want to really fix this? Go talk to the design team. They need to stop living in their own dimension and be aware of the actual end product usage and customer requirements.

And be ready to continue to get customer complaints until the design team moved away from this abysmal thermal design.

Band aid will not be able to save it, just trust me on this.

Debilitating headache

Spent almost entire yesterday in bed.

Would have been heavenly if it was by choice, unfortunately it was not.

Woke up with a headache, which progressively became worse.

By lunch time it has started to make me nauseous. So it's a struggle to get lunch over with, then another test of willpower to get the dish washing done.

To my upmost regret I didn't took the painkillers then, as I needed to poo and headed straight to the loo. Fighting to not pass out while I got the business done.

Then collapsed on the bed and stayed there, drifting in and out wakefulness for seven or more hours straight, holding my head tight. Not that I didn't want to get up, but I couldn't.

The headache was so bad I didn't feel capable of keeping my balance, so I didn't tried to get out of bed to get the painkillers.

Kept hoping wifey would come to my rescue, checking up on me since I have told her about the severe headache, and I had not been downstairs for so many hours.

After about six hours I knew that's not happening, so I struggled to my phone and sent for help. Thank goodness she came shortly after. Brought me the painkillers and helped me to the toilet so I could pee.

The painkillers took forever to work, I drifted off until about 20:00 hours. The headache has lessened then, maybe just suppressed, as my head felt heavy and numb.

Managed to get the dinner down, and could walk about with the numbed head. But by 22:00 hours the headache was starting again, I guess the painkillers' effect has worn off.

So back to the bed, back to be zombie.

What a wonderful Sunday, not.

贱

不喜欢在没有加时工作的周末时，心里会冒出来那不安和有点愧疚的感觉。

周末就是拿来休息充电的不工作日，那是正常的。

理所当然，本来就应该是这样。周末加时工作才是不正常的。

自己可不可以不要这么犯贱？

真是的…

越做完成度越少

经理要我们写报告时加上工作的完成度。

一开始做这一个项目的热流模型时，我只是凭经验列下以往模型里有的部件，和建它们需要的时间比重来估算完成度。

我习惯从外建到内的方式来建我的热流模型，所以开始时我就只看我建着的外壳的图案，然后根据进展把完成度写入报告里。

外壳完成后我开始建内部的部件，才发现这项目有别于之前的项目，内部多了好些东西，而且都是蛮耗时的。

所以加入那些额外的部件和预估需要的时间，重新计算完成度。结果明明就是建好了新的部件，但整体完成度反而减少了，唉…

这样的东西要解释就有点像找借口的感觉。

看来只好拼命完成多些，到完成度高过上个报告里的数目为止，真是的。

Celebrate small wins

After working overtime on many weekends consecutively, it's wonderful to not do so this weekend.

So nice to have a weekend without work, just rest and relax, as it should be.

A bit sad saying that, actually. That's supposed to be the norm, not the other way round!

Anyway, no overtime this weekend, so it's a win.

Most recent patent award is in July's payslip, that's also a win.

Many closures in July, win.

Gotta celebrate these small wins.

So went for dim sum this morning. That in itself is also a win, as tried but failed in the first attempt last week.

A good weekend overall. Too bad it's coming to an end, and Monday blue is kicking in...
