The life of me http://blog.codexp.net A blog about me, my life and work Thu, 26 May 2011 13:35:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 Workahollic on steroidshttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/05/26/workahollic-on-steroids/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/05/26/workahollic-on-steroids/#comments Thu, 26 May 2011 13:35:24 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/2011/05/26/workahollic-on-steroids/ This last few days have been completely crazy.
Been sleeping for just 3-4 hours a night, working pretty much every minute when I am awake with crazy tempo.

The weirdest part is: one would imagine that I should be tired but actually, I am hyperactive at the evening and can just work more and more, kind of what I am doing as well.

And it’s not like I want to work, yet I still manage to enjoy it at the moment because being forced to work and enjoying it is better than being forced to work yet not enjoying it at all. What’s the point of thinking how much you don’t want to work when you still have to? It’s way better to try to enjoy it so that you can actually get it over with as soon as possible.

Right now, however I am taking a very short break: went back to the hotel (got kicked out at 9pm as I was only one left without a key out) and now just gonna grab something to eat at the restaurant, maybe play a few rounds of darts (with steel tip, naturally) and probably get back to work again.

And no, I only drink like 2 cups of coffee the whole day! (did i ear someone say Starbucks?! He’ll yeah!!)

Now the food just got served, so bbl!

Hong Kong, round 2http://blog.codexp.net/2011/05/24/hong-kong-round-2/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/05/24/hong-kong-round-2/#comments Tue, 24 May 2011 12:05:40 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/2011/05/24/hong-kong-round-2/ Sitting at Beijing airport, waiting for my flight to Hong Kong.
This will be the second trip to HK during the last month, but far from the last.

Have a huge project initiated by HK office and I have apparently a lead role in it. Damn. Didn’t actually want anything like that – it’s just too much at the same time. But no one ever consults me on those matters, hehe.

Doesn’t matter however. I know I can do it and will do it with perfection, just like always.

Later I need to figure out how to solve issues on my other projects but that will be a task for next week.

This trip is a bit more boring as my darling ain’t with me this time and I miss her already, but such is life. In less than two weeks I get to see her again :-)

Time to read something..

Over and out!

Sorry has no “but…”!!http://blog.codexp.net/2011/03/25/sorry-has-no-but/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/03/25/sorry-has-no-but/#comments Fri, 25 Mar 2011 19:12:52 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/2011/03/25/sorry-has-no-but/ Saying “Sorry, but you are the one who was wrong” is not an appology! You do not say sorry by continuing talking shit..

Sorry has no “but” in it.. As simple as that. No excuses.

Irritatedhttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/03/24/irritated/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/03/24/irritated/#comments Thu, 24 Mar 2011 22:38:35 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/2011/03/24/irritated/ I get so freaking irriterad when a certain person in my family suddenly starts attacking (verbal attacks) me without any reason..

After hearing yelling and loads of shit for over 30 minutes I simply lost my temper and had to raise my voice – which resulted in even more yelling and screaming, calling names, etc.. What a mature and stable family…

There will be no appologies to me, thats for sure..

So annoyed at the moment..

New week, new challengeshttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/28/week-challenges/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/28/week-challenges/#comments Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:00:10 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/?p=130 New week has started with me packing up to move back home for a while – after all, I got my room back :P

Well, nothing exciting about that – I loved living with my darling. But it’s all okey – I need to get things going even faster with the apartment anyways.

So new challenges are the new projects at the office and also my futile attempts to start eating better – more often, at regular times and healthier food. This all failed easily today due to me skipping lunch and then going for MAX at about 4pm.

I’ll try better tomorrow!

Crazy day and even crazier eveninghttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/24/crazy-day-crazier-evening/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/24/crazy-day-crazier-evening/#comments Wed, 23 Feb 2011 23:46:08 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/?p=127 It’s been a crazy day today – so much work.. But it’s fun! Work, Lunch with a colleague, work, a few hours later a small snack with my darling, back to work..

This evening was even crazier – internet at work died at around 6pm so I had to rush back home to get set up for my conf call in time. Naturally there was loads of traffic. Then after 1h phone call – spend some time with family and get back to work..

Now its 1 am almost and I am ready to head to bed. Just need to drive a little while to get there! Haha.

Well, I think I will be getting to work quite late tomorrow…. :)

Evaluation and salary talk tomorrowhttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/21/evaluation-salary-talk-tomorrow/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/21/evaluation-salary-talk-tomorrow/#comments Mon, 21 Feb 2011 17:48:39 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/?p=124 Tomorrow is quite a big day.

I am going to have the annual salary negotiations and get a general feedback about my past 6 month at Accedo. To be honest, I’m not nervous, rather excited. It’s probably the first time I am actually looking forward to this.

Usually I hate such things as I get nervous always think about the outcome and was generally unsecure about myself. I would always go, and think about what to say, how to say it, and my head would be filled with “what if”s (Oh those nasty “what if”-thoughts!).

Now, however its different. I was nervous a few weeks ago when I thought about it but then I had a coach talk and it all got better. I also read a book that my honey gave me which made things even better. So now I am calm and actually looking forward to it!

Tomorrow will be a fine day :D

Interesting turn of eventshttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/13/interesting-turn-of-events/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/13/interesting-turn-of-events/#comments Sun, 13 Feb 2011 10:02:48 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/13/interesting-turn-of-events/ Sitting at Arlanda and waiting for my parents’ friend to arrive. He will be staying with us for 2 weeks.

In general it is fine by me but I am actually getting “gently” kicked out for 2 weeks. Sure, I had plenty of “callender” time to fix my appartment.. But still.. This kind of sucks..

However! I can find a super positive thing in it all! I get to stay with my love for this time! And suddenly I love it all!

I kind of like the new me – finding positive in most things :-) was different before.

Now, whenever he gets through customs, we get to go home, have breakfast and I can start packing (or rather finish) and be on my way to Elin.

WooooHooo!

My darling isnt feeling wellhttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/12/my-darling-isnt-feeling-well/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/12/my-darling-isnt-feeling-well/#comments Sat, 12 Feb 2011 09:04:54 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/12/my-darling-isnt-feeling-well/ Well, My honey-bunny seems to have gone down with a cold and she isn’t feeling so good right now.

I was over at her place for a few hours to look after her and hopefully I can come over quite early tomorrow as well (after all I am kind of getting kicked out from home for 2 weeks!)

Hope she will get better soon! Tons of love to you, Elin <3

Quattro FTWhttp://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/11/quattro-ftw/ http://blog.codexp.net/2011/02/11/quattro-ftw/#comments Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:55:46 +0000 Alex http://blog.codexp.net/?p=54 I just have to say – Quattro owns.

Seriously – It’s so funny to see all the people that don’t have four-wheel drive in their cars trying to get somewhere.

On another note – I think i f***ed up my leg yesterday after falling.. Can hardly lift it which is a slight disturbance.
Oh well. shit happens!
