Here I am again, an hour before I can leave boring boring work. My data-entry task is getting overwhelmingly huge. I’m about half way through finding the addresses for those 2500 given postal codes and already I’ve got over 10,000 entries in the excel file. [More than one address for each postal code.] This morning I was “in” Quebec and now I’m done Ontario, sweeping west. Vancouver here I come! Yeah right, I wish!
Highlight: FOREST was one of the hick towns I looked up! So it DOES exist!
Sometimes the clicking back and forth makes me dizzy and sends me to sleep. Then I find myself in trouble because I’d have to backtrack to find where I was and to see if I had made any mistakes. Would it be too ambitious to want the whole database done by Thursday? With some time for another blog entry maybe? =P
Today’s an extra long day. 10 hours of work. “10 hours” with I guess 15 minutes scraped from the start and ends, haha! These extra hours will help me get Friday off, so I can leave in the morning for T.O., the center of the universe. Boss is still gone btw, for the week.
Vanessa has finally contacted me, through e-mail. It was an invite to go clubbing. Vanessa, for those of you don’t don’t know, is a friend from the Loo who landed a job near Ottawa as well. Oh how I long to club! But, I’m going home this weekend, which is even better. Plus, that email was dated 2 weeks ago anyway. It’s just that I found it now.
Anyhow, she’s apparently a very outgoing adventurous person and has been getting to know the downtown pretty well! Good, now I’ve got someone to show me around! Someone to act as motivation for me to go out to see the city too. It should be good. Unless of course she was exaggerating about the “great city” and clubbing / bar hopping every weekend. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case! Despite that I’m glad we finally found each other’s contacts and began to make plans.
Here’s something funny for you Chinese People: BIG EYES LOOK TOO FAR.
How’s that for a translation! Haha!
Hey hey Jo!
ReplyDeleteWow... that's a lot of data entry... Be sure to do stuff in a "creative" way, and "take initiative" about finding better ways. Oh, and run into many problems and solve them all! These things will come in handy for interviews later... brutal, brutal interviews. 0___0
Are you finding out the names of people too? Hehehe... like where famous Canadians might be? :P
Setting a goal for Thursday, eh? That's good... I wish you success... Extra hours give you a day off?? Oh damn, I'm jealous. :P
Looks like you have a friend! Enjoy yourself with Ottawa. :)
Big eyes look too far? ... Does that mean I see the end just right? :P
I've just been warned for tennis... Must change.
Work hard! Play harder! Have fun in Toronto!!!! Tell me what it's like. Sometimes, I forget. :|
I love pko's "run into many problems and solve them all!" haha.
