Week Review

11/13/2005; 7:43 PM

I promise this is unreadable.

This week was a busy but productive week. I completed the summary of the conference but I think it's too messed up to make a proper reading. At work I had two different training sessions and uncovered a complete mess with some data that's crucial for our RM system. All this apart from another system that stopped working completely and the software supplier and our handler are blaming each other and nobody wants to change this system. The end result is that none of them are doing anything and we have no system. The best moment of the week was when I read the enhancement costs of a system I wasn't allowed to program because of outsourcing … to give you an example - they want $240 for setting the default value of 8 combo boxes to empty.

This week we probably broke a record because we went out on four consecutive days. On Thursday we went for dinner with our ex-pal so I had the opportunity to update him on what's happening at work and more importantly on our boss's gaffs. Speaking about the boss, I was reading a job interview book and one of the potential questions was: name some good characteristics of your boss? Holy shit I can't even think of one. Whatever, on Friday we went to watch one of our friends play at a local pub with his band. Cool, but it would have been funnier if the female vocalist actually fell off the stage, as she almost did. On Saturday after playing disastrous volleyball (and we lost 4-3) we went to watch Spain vs Slovakia (5 - 1) at a pub. Goals were nice, Guinness was good and I drove back home wet. Today we went to watch The legend of Zorro (Review). Even though I was dead tired I managed not to drowse during the film. 4 stars.

Plans for next week: Post some CVs, start database testing project, learn about health IT and interview techniques.
