Injured His Finger

Yesterday night, as usual, after our dinner, bath then change him. After changing him, I bring him out, we walked along the corridor downstairs, the building that we are now staying. Meet his friend Bryan and another whose name same as him call Wayne, both of them are staying at 1st floor. After a while, daddy came down. Babies play with each other and for adult, we chat.

After a while, we dismissed, is time for babies go to bed. By the time the lift door open, Wayne wanted to grab hold of the door, by the time his finger go in between gap, daddy pull his finger out. What happen, he cried, tears fall out from his eye. His finger got hurt and bleeding.



I carried him and rush to the basin and wash off the blood from his finger. He stop crying when I washed his finger, ‘WooWoo’ few sound, seems like telling me something but I have no time to listen what he want, just concentrate washing off the blood and clean his hand. Daddy bring out the first aid box, look for medicine and apply to his hand.

Poor Wayne!

All Of Us Enjoyed!

WOW! Although 5 minutes late for the movie, but we do really enjoyed.

7:40pm movie start but we left home at around 7:30pm after bathing and changed him. My hubby carrying Wayne and I walk + run a little to rush to the cinema. Oh, is 10 to 15 minutes walk distance from our place, is a little rush for us.

Ya! We watch 'Monster House'. I bought 2 tickets from the counter and we rushed to the cinemaI’s entrance. I have no idea what time is it when we entered to the cinema, what I know is ‘Monster House’ started.

When we entered, Wayne was so attracted by the big, huge screen in a dark room. From side way, you can see his eye, silently, concentrate at the moving picture on the screen. I really wanted to know what is he thinking, what is in his mind on that period of time. Unfortunately, I can’t! We walked to our seats (H4 and H5) and sit down.

Wayne makes some noise while pointed to the screen when I was just wanted to sit down. His voice wasn’t that loud but able heard it when is in a quiet place. I just answered him ‘mmm… …’.

This is his 1st time watching movie in a cinema, although he wanted and tried to get down from the seat but he sits most of the time watches the movie. Oh, ya! Few times when part of the story have a sudden appear with the sound effect together, it frighten him and he jerk but luckily he did not cry. I think he enjoyed watching the movie and we enjoyed too.

Surprisingly, there are only 9 people (include Wayne, my hubby and I). I can count them when the movie ends.

STOP For Everything

No matter what happen, I will just stop everything (my work) when the time reaches 6pm. Not going to attend any incoming issue, incoming request or anything, just walk away from my desk and go back home.

I want to go for a MOVIE!!!

Since after delivered Wayne, we have not been to cinema to watch any movie, so today we have plan to watch 'Monster House' and will bring along Wayne too. Mmm... ... This is his 1st time going to cinema. Will he sit quietly watch or moving around impatiently? This is interesting we have not experience before! Tomorrow, then I will share with you.

What a BOSS I have!

I have a bad day! Terrible day I ever had. I was so sad, extremely sad and disappointed!

One request coming from one of my boss via email to extract some information from a particular Business Partner, and this request is from Australia. Actually, this user does have the rights to access to the page to extract out the records and I don’t understand why this request still comes to me.

Not to say I want to push away the jobs, but from my perspective, R&R as a ‘SUPER’ administrator, those that they (user) can’t find it or the features are not provided in the application, then I will come into the picture and have the work done.

So, I just access to the page and click on the link, save the file and reply to the email with the extracted file and as well provide with the steps and screen capture from where to have the file extracted. Few minutes later, after I send out that email, my so call ‘BOSS’ walk over.

BOSS: AUDREY! (Pause for a while) Is this your 1st job?
Audrey: Nop! (I answered and with lots of question mark in my head)
BOSS: Then! What do you do in your previous job?

I feel so insult when I heard this, are you having doubts with my work experience? This hurt me a lot.

Audrey: Support, as well as analyst data and generate reports.
BOSS: then why did you provide me with such a bad report!

This hurt me even more. With 6 years of work experience as a Programmer to a System Analyst/IT Support Analyst, I have more than enough experience to take up this position.
I stun for a while, there is more question mark (?), coming out from my head. I have no idea what and why did he do that to me. I open the file at my workstation and try to find out what he really wants. What kind of report that he expecting.

BOSS: We are in Marketing! We work in a Marketing department. Can’t you make the report more presentable?

Can he be more polite and don’t be so sarcastic? Can he please find out the reason on why the report is generated like that before questioning me with harsh word? I feel that he is so inconsiderate on how others feel.

I explain to him that is impossible to make the alignment and the structure of the report nice. There is lots of data being entered and the data was store like below.

Audrey: More of this string store in same field. If we extend the column, it will look messier.

As he scrolls down the page and have a glance on the data as I show to him. He keeps quiet for a while.

BOSS: Can you remove all this unwanted string?
Audrey: I can do it with just only 1 record in the file manually but there are lot more in this report, is impossible. Moreover, if I accidentally remove part of the data, what will happen? I don’t think I have the rights to amend.
BOSS: Do you!
Audrey: NO!

He just walks away like that without saying anything. This really drives me crazy! What a BOSS I have! After he left, I walk away from my desk for an hour.

Busy Life!

Been quite some times I have not write anything in my blog. I am busy since I started work, busy attending with incoming request. After work, I need to rush back, take care of Wayne and as well need to attend to his needs.

How about my hubby? He will help up with the house chores when he comes back. After Wayne finished his meal, my hubby will bath him and play with him during bath time. Wayne enjoyed and so does my hubby, one thing he hates most is to dress him up (after bath), my baby will not sit there and let you dress him, he will move every where and rolling from one site to the other site, he will even like to bite the cover of the containers (balm cream, power & lotion container). I think most of the babies do that as well. So what I will do, just follow him around, here and there, spend 15 minutes to apply powder and lotion on him, wear his diaper and clothes. He enjoys and we will not feel so frustrated as well.

Yes, you are right, Carrie! After my baby turn 1, I tend to be busier. His is more mobile, and he wants to explore more, so he crawl around his room. When he learns to walk, he wanted to go out from his room, explore living room. Now he even explore further, he started to open drawers and cabinet when he is in the kitchen and even enter to the bathroom. So, my hubby and I need to follow him whenever he goes.
