Ok, I've had experience having a secretary and being the kind of guy I was, I wasn't able to train her properly and there were things that could have been done better. One of the things I came out of the experience is that I should be able to verbally describe goals and skills more effectively and strategically. It may sound simple but, when your juggling work and the development of another person, everything stops being "simple". Well, I really need to make another me. at least outsource that part of me that can do documentation, spreadsheets, able to understand complicated and chronically de-railed conversations, and hopefully gain the same enthusiasm for the aspects of work as myself. Describing the skillset because easier when I had to describe the skillset I wanted to master for myself. reading a ton of help and training books also helped, because the table of contents basically tries to describe the skillset in one sentence or idea. What I want from a Per...

I find how I talk now weird. I can be oddly specific and able to describe in much greater detail my thoughts. Sometimes I can narrate my process and how I formulate ideas. Its a level of introspection or intrapersonal understanding I have only recently noticed.  One of the things I committed to is building an IT team. A real team, where I invest a lot of my personal time and resources in the people I work with, even though I did not start out their friend or know them outside of work.  Its like Family, we really have little control over who we are with. In the case of work, we have the team that I only discovered when I got assigned in my new task. Following through the policy I share with my mother with work: Rehabilitate, Forgive, Give them the Benefit of the Doubt (until hard facts surface), and help them realize their full potential (allow them to follow the best career path in their self interest). Spending 10-12 hours at work, already puts me in a posi...

My Ideal Sched I'm very aware this is unlikely, but on auto pilot this is what I'll work towards. this is an ideal of 9.5 productive hours. The highest quality, morning hours, devoted to planning and reflection. When I'm moving to later and later, progressively lower value/ mental complexity/ mental resources needed. Wake up and morning tasks 6am-6:50 -spend an hour with emails and write backs and follow up. 6am is when shift is near ending, enough time to have things resolve. Gym/swimming 7am-7:50 - if I swim in grid I'd morning waters I can maintain a high heart rate for a long period. Low stress on ankles and knees. Also it works on my physical aesthetic.developing shoulders make a belly like mine look smaller faster than dieting. Bath in the locker and done. -if I jog on the treadmill, I can write, listen, and a smaller logistical endeavor. -target is to work towards high bpm sustainable to up to 45mins. An increase oof energy reserve per day is what I have experien...

It seems I can sleep 3-5 hours, but worried about self-control regarding compulsions going down. there is a definite personality change with irregular sleep. Unable to back up/write my thoughts down to gain perspective, studying a lot on the side, and all the demands of work makes me mental mess.  I've been studying so much. I'm trying to achieve a lot in terms of skillsets. I need to be capable of doing the job of those I'm in charge off, and capable of understanding the intricacies of managing time in their shoes.  Its nice that Learning more about IT would allow me to do some neat tricks in the future.  Recreation I am not able to play computer, actually I wish. Its that I'm my tinkering causes me to reformat my computer so often. I've been stuck trying to improve my PC graphics so that I can play more visually stimulating games. Unfortunately Graphics Card is a big head-ache because its the only thing that's Proprietary, in a sea of tweakabl...

Had really bad chills last night. I had also the weird dreams that comes with the fever. I was dreaming about SugarCRM and troubleshooting IT problems again. The dream emphasized the overwhelming gap of knowledge between me and the technology I'm facing at work. It seems my subconscious is panicking and I'm not even aware of it. I guess thats a good thing, it shows the level of control I've achieved. There are concepts of the dream that felt very real, especially the facts about the program being thrown back and forth in my head. Its about the sub-systems like the apache2, php, and the mysql database. It felt real, but its just gibberish in reality. I had a massive head-ache when I woke up.

Got my Computer Fixed. It cost me about Php4100, including tip and labor at PCexpress. I was planning on going to Villman to buy a new CPU and was prepared to spend Php16,000 but it looks like I dodged a bullet and won't have to spend that much for a Desktop until 2 more years. for the record I got: A new motherboard, MSI G4 IM-P28 G4 dd3/VIGL for Php2440 New ram, compatible with the new motherboard - 4G Kingston 1333 SODIMM ddr3 for Php1,200 Labor of Php500 Tip of Php100 When the guy opened up my CPU, the processor had its thermal paste rubbed off*. Those bastards who fixed my CPU around august or September screwed me over. Ill look for that receipt in my files and post it. I was too busy to test my computer, it would have failed within the warranty date if I wasn't so busy and fixed up my system later on. I freaking paid for re-application of thermal paste. Today I installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 into my new desktop, because of my fear for the unity GUI's...

Unhealthy and run ragged So I've been working 3pm to 3am. I really get in and come from work at these times. Its doing a number on me and I really do feel at the end of my rope. Health wise I've experienced fevers, flus and chills since June for every month. Because of that I've finished all of my leaves (1 vacation and 1 sick) every month since. This month, is so crucial that it was fortunate my fever, chill and boil came exactly Friday night. So I've not taken a sick leave yet, but I feel like I really need the chance to rest. I would normally fluctuate between 174 and 172lbs, now I'm at 175 and 177. Already bursting at my size M clothes or 34" pants. They don't feel comfortable, and I find myself between getting bigger clothes or wanting to lose weight. My fighting form needs me to be medium, so I really can't let myself go without wasting all my cammo and clothes. There area lot of things to self study. Unfortunately Ubuntu 11.10 is one of them beca...
