Aspirations of an Office Chair

Thu, October 30, 2008


… of my personal1 work supplied computer chair, to be more precise.
For some odd reason, my office chairs keep getting switched about. The current one seems rather attached as of late, though. Of course, once you try sitting on it, you can instantly tell why. It is an extremely ambitious chair. I’d wager to say, [...]

Comes with the Job

Thu, March 20, 2008


I’ll have to disappoint Kimmie: I’m not at all weird. Constantly making use of a bad choice of words seems to be a requirement for a (software) developer. Of course, there’s the fact that my colleagues do this on purpose while I don’t… but then I’m still learning
Vera is bemoaning the [...]

Work, Here I Come!

Sat, January 26, 2008


Who needs alarms clocks? I have dad who’s got an amazing talent for nagging. He literally nags me awake: tickling, light switching on, TV on max volume, or just plain shouting… it eventually works. That way I can get up in time to waste away a whole hour before I have to leave for work.
This [...]

Of Job Descriptions

Mon, January 14, 2008


Every once in a while, employees (and employers as well, I guess) are required to take a so called work protection test, to show that they are aware of work hazards and are constantly on their toes. It’s occasions like these that remind my colleagues of their more obscure job requirements1:
The examiner is looking [...]

Confessions of a Javascript Master

Sat, January 5, 2008


… well “master” is pushing it a bit, but makes for a flashy title. I was going to post about my creepy stalker(s). Alas, none showed up. Couple that with the fact that a certain Snark member decided not to sue herself for libel(nu LULZ) this is what you get: way too much free [...]

I R Real Programmer

Tue, November 6, 2007


EDIT November 8th: there is a very good reason I shouldn’t post at 2:00 am; especially when I’m practically asleep1. Hopefully, this way it’s clearer. Screenshots were created by me using photoshop (they are not from the actual website).
The website I am working on, has a lot of submission forms, where various data is being [...]

The Artist in Me

Wed, October 17, 2007


I suppose there should be some sort of tear-jerking jabber about my lack of time and will to live1 write as well as overall laziness. Never fear, it will all come! I’ve made notes and saved the file on my desktop for future reference. After all, you cannot possibly be spared the exciting tale of [...]

Job Hazards

Fri, August 17, 2007


This blog entry is courtesy of Rachael, so go thank her if you missed my blogs (typos have been fixed for your convenience ).
My debugging an application (program) at work was the topic of the conversation.
Vera: I just confessed my utter annoyance and hatred to the application
Rachael: haha
Vera: the [...]

A Question of Status

Fri, June 1, 2007


Since I started working (even if only part-time) I find I feel completely different. Yet it’s not as if I have miraculously become a mature young woman in her early twenties. As a matter of fact I still download anime like no tomorrow, I still enjoy e-drama, I still post at childish forums (and [...]

Too Fast?

Mon, May 14, 2007


Last week, the first couple of days at work had been extremely hectic. Not withstanding that I’m the resident n00b at work, I had to create a layout, and learn JavaScript in about… oh 2 hours. Now I’m generally rather against the latter, but if my boss told me to…
Anyway, after finally being able to [...]
