techsupport (by design)

the stone/jewel of pirus/fairus/fairuz/turquoise

i receive instructions not only from the bosses but also from the users. such as the nature, or befittingly, curse of a technical support personnel. though it does not really fit my title at work, that's what i have to do. like i have a choice. i'm an all-rounder. jack of all trades, master of none (really? really). i have to make arrangements for maintenance, trainings, enhancements, renovations (related to my field of work but once totally unrelated!), etc. not only i have to manage homo sapiens who, or deservedly, which operate on the basis of lust & unreasonable, absurd & irrational thinking, but also i have to manage machines which operate on the basis of zeros & ones. they say the latter are stupid but stupid is as stupid does. most of my days are spent on a virtual horizon. most of my days are spent deciphering email content & letting go of email bow string (meaning shooting out email gokdengik). i have to manage projects & projects & projects & projects & projects & projects & projects & the list goes on & on & on & on & on & on & on & finally off. being a jack of all trades, more often that not, i can't help but be a manager for many projects all at once. i do not normally carry work back home or beyond work but work follows me around. anywhere, anytime, anyhow, anybody, anyone. in short, anything. anyway, anymore? homo sapiens mentioned previously include internal, external, & if these 2 words ever existed, intranal & extranal. sounds like anal to me. this merits slander of not just the decade but also century or millennium or ketak dunia. part of my job scope is to attend to problems. but there are too many problems for me to handle alone. yes, practically alone. problems are aplenty. and they just won't go. this problem. that problem. these problems. those problems. his problems. her problems. their problems. compounded problems. very problematic. gotta solve problems. gotta troubleshoot problems. being a designer is not an easy job. entrusted with the job, of using own creativity, but the decision always lies with those who are totally blind with regards to design. those who have no taste at all in art & design. or those who think they do when in fact they don't. a bunch of hypocrites. blinded by ego. egoistic maniacs. this is not the end of it all yet.

"you say it's your birthday. it's my birthday too, yeah!"

i wish the beatles would say that to me... well, the fact that my wife & daughter wished that (of course not exactly like the title) is way much better than if the beatles do. so, here i am getting older by the day...

so many things happened in the last 3 weeks that i don't know what to write (???). i'll try my best to write anyway even though it will not really be in the exact chronological order. a half bus load of my colleagues & i went to muddy estuary to attend this event organized by dosh to honor companies & organizations which are proven to practice safety at work. the company won stylishly for the 2nd consecutive year in its category. so, the company rewarded all staff with a token of appreciation in the form of monetary value. i went there as one of the pressed press press members. in fact, i was the only member who went. what i did was mostly took photos. talking about press, it's due on the 30th. supposedly in its e-press incarnation. i don't have to contribute any article except quiz materials. but i have to design the final look. in 2-3 days from today. what a wonky idea. as usual, i'll try my best... lastly, have i decided on q? you find it out yourself... no more work talk!

on 1 of the weekends, my wife & i were having a "feasting party." to celebrate & thank God for the precious.

on the weekend after that, i acquired a japanese fender stratocaster + amp + hard case + accessories. just wanna make sure i'm satisfied & the new guitar is well protected at all times. also bought another hard case for my existing acoustic guitar for long lasting protection. what to do? it's 1 of my extreme hobbies according to my wife which i've been suppressing for quite sometime (years!) & now it has no choice but floats to the surface...

kpi w/o k & i and slander of the decade

i won the 1st prize. out of 5 contestants. the 1st 1 marvellously sang a hindi song though i hate hindi songs & movies. i was the 2nd 1 to perform. the 3rd 1 did this rather interesting bollywood line dancing, though...you can guess what i'm about to say. the 4th 1 did a somehow miserably failed stand-up comedy. the 5th 1 sang a nasyeed song. (i thought he could sing better). i was the greedy 1 with 2 songs performed acoustically using my acoustic guitar. at least that's what kak ogy said that night. the rehearsal in the afternoon helped a lot in improving my performance. however, i did make a few mistakes. during the initial start-up and music bridge of the 2 songs. everybody in the co was surprised that i could sing & play guitar. in the days after that, i've sort of become an internal superstar. now, i can somehow relate to how the actual celebrities out there feel being famous having no privacy and all that...

u can watch my performance that night here.

the slander of the decade repeats itself again. unless if u're living in a cave & totally disconnected from the outside world, u should know what i mean...
