FINALLY!! I have something to do!!!

No more online games. No more excessive eating. No more.

My job right now, is to revamp the department's web page. It sounds easy yea? But no... You guys haven't seen their web page. It's total crap.

It's like a web page designed in 1998!! Oh, have I told ya'll about the computers this company provides for us? Let me enlighten thee...

The monitor has a big ass that sticks out and takes up practically the whole table. Tho the table ain't that big either. Below the monitor sits a CPU. The desktop kind. Yea, those still exist!! And the colour of the equipment... It's so yellow and dirty, I had to borrow Syaz's pink eraser and rub it all over. There was only a slight improvement.

So let's talk about the CPU. 130MB RAM, 2GB free harddisk space, and a Pentium II processor. Oh, and did I mention we're using Microsoft 98? Mind you, this is a "computer systems" company. They're supposed to be up to speed with the latest computer systems. But nooo.... They totally suck.

So the webpage is crap. And I have to turn this crap into something decent. My brother advised me not to do anything too professional-looking, or really really great. 'Coz they'd probably use me to do the rest of the departments' webpages and only paying me that much. Fucking cheap labour la. Designing web pages can cost tens of thousands of dollars. And they're paying me a few hundreds only. Great huh.

So yea, I'm not going to crack my brain and use up my creative juice to make this one perfect. Just decent.

Hey, you pay me this little, you'd get that little.

I'm not being greedy. It's just fair. They're using us Attachees as cheap labour. And 'coz of that, why put in so much effort?

Attachment's a total waste of time. Allow me to elaborate:

Office "space":
I am often cooped up in a 5 by 6 metre room. Mind you, there's 3 other people, 4 computers with CPUs, 1 hub, and 4 chairs.

Biscuits:
Syaz and I bought these damn ol' school biscuits. Ya know the ones that come in those big tin cans? Yea, this is the one with the 2 holey crackers with jam inbetween. Yea.. We bought 1 kg thinking it's a whole lot and that we'd finish it in 2 weeks tops. Instead, we finished it in 2 days.

We were so bored that it led to eating. We couldn't help it. Well, it was more me than Syaz, so yea. Bored = eating = fat = bad.

Surfing the net:
I have surfed to the end of the Internet world and back. Without touching blogs and what-nots. Can't. Shouldn't. They might trace them back to here...

I've tried most of the games at yahoo.com too. And I'm bored.

Work:
None at all. The guy who's supposed to be giving me some work hasn't gotten to briefing me yet. So yea, if tomorrow he doesn't give me anything to do, day 1 and 2 will repeat in day 3.

Sleep:
My Comp had problems and I couldn't go online, so I slept. 2nd day was basically the same, but this time, I HAD the Internet access, but I was so bored after countless hours of playing games online that I slept in the last hour before knocking off.

So basically, I've travelled to Bedok and back just to surf the net, eat, and sleep. I might as well stay at home!!


Fucking waste of time..
