It's about time to tell you again that I am still alive.

Ok, I am just bored. But life is worth celebrating. Just saying.

When you are buried under mountains of RL work, keeping your spirits up is an achievement that is cause for cheering. It may mean that you end up buying more cats in SL though. And birds. And trying to boink the wrong pixel species together. And exceeding prim limits. And sneaking around the internet during work hours to check out SL pictures.

But I have no pictures to show you until I get home from work. It's just lunch hour and I need to think about things that are far away from RL. I forgot to take my thumbdrive with me today, which is where I keep all my nonsense, including pictures and important work files. It doesn't explain why I am blogging now, but it will explain why an important work file won't be ready for my boss today. It's a good thing I've got so many deadlines my boss will either not remember or pretend not to remember.

Ok, I really came here to ramble, it seems. I better go eat something.

Boo! (a few updates... and whining)

So, yup. RLife and SLife are pretty exciting at the moment, and I thought I should let you know that I am still alive by rantingsharing some of it.

By exciting, I meant that I have moved in SL. All at once. My home has moved! My shop has moved! My cat stall at Juice Berry Farms has moved! (Just next door. Don't ask.) My cat stall at Alley Cats has moved! (Not that I had ever mention I have one. Now you know.) Come visit me here! And here! And here! And... I forgot to get a LM for Alley Cats. I'll update that into my sidebar when I get to it.

So you see, I am basically all over the place now. Another word for "exciting" is probably "stressful". I have insomnia at night (yes, only at night), so I lay awake hyperventilating and planning pixels. And control charts. Which brings us (not very smoothly) to what is so stressfulexciting in my RL.

I have recently been tasked to do up some serious charting at work in RL. It is so important that everyone in my department were told to leave me alone so that I can churn out charts in peace and in (very limited) time for my boss's boss's boss.

We are talking some 86721134354 charts using all kinds of formulae. Such as UCLp=p-bar+3(p-bar(1-p-bar))^(1/2)/(n-bar)^(1/2), if the samples are not necessarily of constant size and if n-bar-20%<=n<=n-bar+20%. If it is rejected because my boss's boss's boss does not want non-compliance charting, then the formula will be based on UCLx=x-bar+E2mr-bar, because UCLx-bar=x-barbar+A2r-bar does not work as r and r-bar cannot be 0 for the chart to work.

It's not that difficult.

I am only stuck at trying to figure out why the hell n=2 (not the same n in the previous formula) and how the hell I know n=2. But I know.

The problem is, there was no way I could have gotten out of this because:
1. When our consultant trainer taught us the charts, I didn't fall asleep as I should.
2. I pretended I knew what he was blabbering about by asking questions that probably sounded intelligent. If I were really intelligent, I would have known to shut up.
3. I have a degree in mathematics, and an A-Level in statistics. Not that I remember a thing my lecturers lectured. Now that I think about it, I wonder how I passed my exams.

So I have been charting for about a week. I am now at chart no.1.

And I end up staring at the computer screen and then blogging.

And no, this is not part of the exciting plan I was talking about in the previous post.

Taking A Break

I am taking a break from blogging.

Nothing happened. I am just distracted catching up with RL, which is A LOT to catch up on since I was in escape mode for the past couple of years. Apart from that, well, I am still in SL and breeding cats like the crazy woman I think I will always be.

This is a neutral decision. I've actually mapped out some exciting plans (for RL), but those must sadly wait. And test my patience until I blow up. Or breakdown. Or something. But no, nothing "interesting" happened and it is all neutral. :p

I'll admit that my recent mood swingchange of focus has affected my blog though. I've been pondering it's direction and lacking posts in the last few months because I had no idea what I wanted to write about anymore. This is an aspect that I need to iron out before I resume blogging.

Meanwhile, I have new little ventures that will keep me entertained.

Till the next update. Take care, and thank you for checking in. *BIG HUGS*

Because work is not boring. Not at all.

The Email (sent by a colleague from another dept):

"Dear Colleagues

The day has arrived! The (machine name) Magnet, the latest addition to the (company name) family has left its home in Germany and will be delivered to us tonight. If the weather holds, the magnet will be going into (dept name) after 12 midnight.

Tonight will not be like any other nights in (company name)! It will be a night of activities, starting at 2200hrs and stretching into the early hours of the morning.

You are welcome to join us if you could to witness the event.

Warmest regards and wishing all a Great Dragon Year ahead!"

So exciting! We are all invited to stay overnight at work to watch a machine arrive!

R: why party over one piece of magnet ah??

Me: must be a very big piece of magnet, that's why so important.

R: Think the magnet will be powerful enough to attract Iron Man.....

Me: we'll need helmets.

It only took a week.

One week of RL work to turn me back into a dingdong.

So I spent the New Year sticking jewellery into my face and thinking that it looked gorgeous. Until I woke up the next morning.

Who's kidding?
