Penultimates

Today is the penultimate working day of the year. I always wanted to use the word 'penultimate' in a blog post. How cool is it that I managed it on the penaltimate working day of the year in probably the penultimate post of the year. Yaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooo! That cheer is for this being the penultimate working day of the year, not for this post being such. Now guess I overused the word in just a single para, let alone a post.

Anyway, as I was saying there is one more working day to go and that too is mainly allowed for cleaning and stuff. We basically clean up each of us' working space, get rid of old and unwanted documents and stuff; basically make the working place a bit cleaner and fresh for next year's work. Is there any such thing going on in Sri Lanka? I'm not sure, but chances are there isn't. I think this is a good thing though - starting a new year afresh is always a good idea, besides you get to spend the last day of the year without working which could only be a plus. Except perhaps for the workaholics.

But before that I'll have to get through this day first, which is a bitch. The problem with working in Japanese is, it takes about, say, six hours to think of what should be done about a program and then even finish the coding but additional two days to prepare the fucking useless absolutely necessary documents. Add to that the fact that I'm at work on a Saturday, after being at work on Christmas day as well. Oh well, I shall get through this torture somehow.

Have a nice weekend you luckier fellows!

  2. Thank you so much for your concern, dear Anon. But maybe you should ask Santa for a pair this year, so that you'll have the balls to put a comment without staying Anonymous next year.

    Happy new year!

  5. Duuuuuude! Documentation! :O I had to do this database thing for A/L Computing, finished the thing in like a month, and then the documentation, functional specification and all that jazz took about 7 more months to finish! :@ I hope you didn't have to do it in Japanese or something?! :/

  6. Actually that's exactly what I had to do. Otherwise I wouldn't be bitching like this.

  7. I really wish you would ignore our testicularly challenged friend up there. Maybe you should just block anonymous posts altogether, since the nitwit is giving us (benign) anon posters a bad name.
    (and no, I'm not going to create a pseudonym. Too lazy...)

  8. Anon, maybe I should though I don't want to block comments unless it's absolutely necessary. I appreciate freedom of speech, hence I think even the retards like him/her should have the chance to vent their frustration. I will block if it comes to that.

    Btw, I do not have a problem with people being Anonymous. It's their right and I respect that. But I do find it laughable and lame when they try to be sarcastic and show all bravado while being Anon.

    And thanks for your comment. It's good to know people read this.
    Happy new year to you!
