Reached Limit and Miscellaneous Talk

I think I have finally reached my body's limit. Getting up at 5 plus, 6 a.m. every single day, reach home only at 9, 10, 11p.m. or even near midnight for almost consecutive 4-5 weeks. Today, my brain really screamed for a break (It does not  help that my sore throat has been troubling me since start of this week). Well... At least for this long weekend, I can take some time to read some research papers and organize my data (They are organized. But not as good as I liked them to be.).

For some time, some people have commented on me being a perfectionist. Alright. I accept that. However, this is only because my real inner self is really quite sloppy and lazy. I need a "rational" self to control that - hence the perfectionist tag. You probably cannot imagine the mayhem if I did not set (or try to set) a high standard for myself. A senior co-worker once commented that whoever works under me will have a hard time (assuming I will hold some leadership position someday). That is kind of true. I guess. I will expect certain tasks to be completed by a certain time (who does not?) and they be completed in an acceptable manner to me. Of course. I tend to be more lenient to the others (which usually does not apply when I rate myself).

One another note, I wrote to someone on facebook today, regarding that person's future career. Somehow I was kind of eager to see that person's response and was moderately elated to have seen it. I would strongly deny liking that person, though I admit that there is positive feeling towards this person (This is a typical response to me if anyone asks THAT typical question.). While I think we have very different personalities, response to situations and social experience, we are not all that different in our innate thinking.

Dinner with Gossip Lane People

Yes. Dinner with Gossip Lane people. Well... actually, girls are more accurate (all of them are, except me, though I do not see myself as part of Gossip Lane. It is too "gossipy" for me.). Great company. I like to listen to people talk and learn stuff about them along the way. This bunch of girls are extremely chatty. Perfect fit. Anyway, after a year of working together, they have moved on bigger things. It is real nice to get together once in a while and see how everyone is doing. Even though these just a click away on social networking websites, nothing beats seeing and talking to them in real person.

One of the Gossip Lane people, VW, when egged by the group to reveal her "analytical skills" regarding our strong points (one for each person) said that I am the type who, when faced with a problem, will go all the way to get the answer/solve the problem. In a way, it is true (most of the time anyway). I think to put it more accurately, I do not like things I do not know. That is why if it bugs me, I will get down to it. Also, I see it as a challenge to be overcome/crush (Especially if it is in certain areas I am confident of. Yeah. I know. "Hubris" comes to my mind.).

On work front, I still need to improve my assaying of the Organism. No doubt I am getting used to the steps. However, I am still not sufficiently comfortable with my skills at this point.

Excited. Extremely Excited.

Excited about the coming work year. With a significant number of people gone, those that are left are supposedly the stronger ones (Some of the people who left are strong too of course. It is a pity they have to leave.). The competitive blood in me is boiling up. Let's see how this "battle" will go. I might end up losing of course. However it will definitely be very interesting. How long can I last? Hopefully external forces will not intervene.  

(Note: Ok. From the above paragraph, you probably think I am a nut case. Just using analogy to make this coming tough year sound nicer and more interesting.)

New Self Fragmenting

I think I am breaking up on social front and work. Losing patience with a certain person. Somehow, that person is getting increasingly irritating. That person kept on asking questions, and sometimes even repeatedly, and making strange remarks. Well... that person does have a point most of the time. However, I think the timing for that person's questions and comments are not very appropriate or that they are pointless.

On the side of work, I think I am lapsing into my careless, rash self. I need to rein that it or trouble will follow up very soon.

Robot Damashii over Kits

Ok. After looking at photographs of Robot Damashii figures (and that I do not have time nor energy to build gunpla anymore), I think I will buy Robot Damashii figures instead (when I start having income). Gunpla... perhaps for the main characters' MS.

The downside of Robot Damashii is that it is small. Very small in my opinion (~11cm). No sense of awe... Oh well... that is the trade off for a figure off the box.
