Ok so week 6 has been and gone, and that means semester is basically half over. The Olympics are on and aren’t hard to watch and neglect work, but I just have to focus and get the work done regardless. Anyway so what’s happened this week.
Ok Monday started normally with work on the user manual, but in the end Ben got me to help him out with the updating of the design spec. Its pretty straight forward work but its soooo mind numbingly boring, you can’t stop and start because you’re always refiring to previous examples. I didn’t get this done as early as id have liked (I wanted to go to the pub on Thursday night) but I knew Ben needed to send it off on Friday morning so I pushed through and eventually got it finished around 1ish, so it was waiting for him in the morning. After our morning meeting we had our usual class meeting and its good to see how the other teams are going except the one that’s like 4 weeks ahead.
After the group meeting I had to head into the city for what I thought was a job interview, but it was actually an introduction to the system I would be using, which should be going live this Thursday. Keep an eye on the MX this week and you might see an add or two about it. So this is my first IT related job and im really looking forward to it. I haven’t started too much, but I have had a look for content this weekend that I will send into my boss and during the week I will go in and actually start setting up the content on the mobile site. Im really looking forward to this and for once not always being unemployed.
Tuesday was another day that started with a group meeting and I got some more work on the user spec, and got Ben to check I was on the right track, it was around here that I worked out how hard it would be to focus on this work. I didn’t do much work on IE after the lecture instead I had a break as I waited for my afternoon classes, and eventually got a test from the previous week back, a pass or better I passed and I was happy.
Wednesday I had my software engineering test and I went into Clayton a little early to try and study at least a little bit. In the end I was ok with it the coding isn’t 100% correct but im pretty certain ive done enough to at least pass. Now I just need to get stuck in on the assignment because that’s worth 50% so I need to do well.
Thursday I went into uni very early, I got in around 11 when I started at 1 so that I could do more on the design spec, and I got some done before classes. Class was boring got my marks back just passed but meh im generally not to fussed with results if I pass. I did call my boss at the MX to try and work out when he wanted me to come in next but I got his voicemail and left a message, this shows I wasn’t thinking about everything on Monday, but at least I had got in contact with him. Then in the evening I sat down and worked solidly (but slowly) through the last 11 parts I had of the design spec. I gotta say that was really hard I don’t actually know why it was just killing my brain but im repeating myself so ill move on. I ended up sending it twice because it wouldn’t say sent in outlook so I sent it through the web interface and pretty much as soon as that one sent the outlook one said sent so sorry Ben for the 2 copy’s.
Friday I expected a call from my boss to work out when I was going into the mx I thought he may have wanted me in on Friday so I had set my alarm early. Although I didn’t need to worry, he ended up calling just after my alarm had gone off so I was glad I had had a few minutes to wake up and sound ok on the phone. Basically with the lack of content around now we have scheduled Tuesday morning in to be confirmed on Monday, and if I come across any content that could go up to email it through and ill get paid a few hours for my efforts, which I haven’t quite finished but I will in the morning before uni starts. Also I found out that dads going up to Sydney on Monday for a few days, so ill be going to work with him on Monday morning and then getting to uni very early, with dads car for the week.
Saturday I was up early to go shopping at Knox (its funny what having money allows you to do, you can look and go I actually can afford one of those now, but wont get one now). In the end all I got was a set of 8 books that was cheaper then any one of those books on there own. In the evening I went to James house for some footy and cards and it was a good night, although on the way home I got a call from the younger sister asking for a ride home and the big brother gene kicked in so it was another hour before I got anywhere near home and sleep.
Sunday has actually been a really good day it was up earlyish (I went to bed really late) and straight off to the footy. I hadn’t been in a while and I really enjoyed it, and even more so the result. The problem is it was Robert Harvey’s final home game, and he’s one player I have always admired since as long as I can remember going to the footy down the road at Waverley.
Anyway due to my procrastination this has waited till the end of the Olympics and considering I have to be up so very early tomorrow to get a car for a few days im off to bed.
