A Lovely 10C Site!

Colleague to intern: "Hey, so this Excel file of 10,000 rows — can you just go through it now and clean the [exceptionally poorly entered] data up? Oh, and I need this by the end of today, so you have 2 hours."

All the regex in the world couldn't save her…

I don't like working with this guy. When I was under him as an intern a few years back, I helped him clean up his address book…fortunately I found a way to half-automate a great deal of it (instead of going through it line by line as she's doing now).

Learnt a few interesting things at work today.

Depending on how things turn out — and I'll just have to bide my time — I might need to start…reconsidering.

That would be inconvenient though, in the middle of my diploma.

Well that exam wasn’t great ?

There are rumours that a certain person who regularly halves my productivity may soon make a move.

That would be interesting. With such a small team, any one change shakes everything up quite a lot.

@matigo As has much of the world…I'll consult a doctor first before I even open the box.

Rather annoyed. Mum's come back from Korea having spent god knows how much on a whole box of ginseng powder capsules and expects me to take 4 per day for 3 months, claiming it will help my allergies.

Annoyed because:

• She didn't ask
• I can find no academic research supporting this claim

There is the faintest smell of vomit in the air. It must be vomit for 2 reasons:

1. There’s a baby nearby
2. No one’s grating Parmesan

Contraceptives are underrated.

Ah. There really is a baby on the plane. And I know this because my ears are hurting.

Damn. If they even had a bottle of Vermouth in the fridge, I could do something…some syrup, some bitters…but no. G&T it is.

Had it all lined up so well — almost 2 hours of martinis at the Cathay lounge!

Turns out, the Melbourne lounge doesn’t even have a bar, just a few bottles on dispensers at the buffet.

Pretty dismal.
