work shift change, a busted finger, and a rainy summer

beating the deadline
Ok, so we were given a bunch of work to do, given last wednesday to us. We have to work on designing interface programs for a module of our software product. Our primary deliverable for this are the design documents. However, there are minimal support documents for us to accomplish this task. Communications are on-going to allow us to get hold of important documents we need in order to work on the design specs we need to work on. The catch is, our deadline is next week, Mar. 25, Good Friday.
We have one week to finish the design documents. One week, the whole holy week. What's bad about this is that, we still haven't have any support docs until now. So in light of this, we've readied ourselves for some overtime work, probably starting tomorrow, saturday. And, since our customer is US-based, our lead has decided to change our workshift for the whole of next week. From 8am-5pm work schedule, we'll change to 8pm-5am shift. This was done for us to have a concurrent work shift with our BAs from the US.
Night shift means being nocturnal again. This is not my first time to be assigned to night shift. But, errr, one thing i hate when in night shift is the lack of social life. Hehehehehe. Just imagine, your wide awake when everyone else is fast asleep, and you're deep in slumber when everyone else is busy going about the routines of everyday life. Oh well, at least its just for a week.
I'll get over this. But i'll surely miss my girl. We won't see each other much during my night shift sched. Sad. :-(

bend, finger, bend!!
We had a basketball game last night. It was a good game (of course it's good! we won! and i scored!). It was our fifth game of the season, and so far so good for us. Currently, we stand at 4-1, which is good enough to be at the top of the standings. Our game last night was actually the best game we've had out of the 5 games we've played. Everything seemed to go our way last night, so cheers to our 4th win!
Too bad for my ring finger (on my right hand). He got busted (errr... okay... my term is exaggerated). I only played a few minutes, scored only two points and had a couple of rebounds and assists. Of those few minutes, i still got my finger jammed by the ball. So now, i have difficulty moving it. It won't bend as i command it. I can't clench my fist. And it's difficult for me to write, type, and even brush my teeth.
Oh, well. It's part of the game. I still am lucky its only my finger that got sprained. It would have sucked if my arm or my leg/ankle was the one busted.
Get well soon to you, my ring finger. :-P

rain on a summer anyone?
Errr... it's supposed to be summer already. So why is it raining now. Oh, okay, a storm, right. But isn't it odd? And another thing that got me thinking is that, as i remember, it rained during the holy week the past few years. Not sure if i'm right, but that's how i remember it.
The rain is good by the way. It takes out some of the heat of the summer. But, !@#!%#!#, i still sweat a lot even if i'm not moving a muscle. It really is summer. Even the rain is not enough to cool the weather. So it'll still be hot outside. And i'll still sweat alot even if stand still. And is still just the start of summer.
#$@!@$%, bring on the rain!!! :-P
