Hello 2009

Perfect timings for the new year:

* I just confirmed that I got 2 dead toenails. The murderer were my running shoes which are just about my size. I remembered the pain I experienced in the same toenails after I did the 12k run. Mental note to buy that Mizuno shoes that has been on my mind since I saw it last month (which btw is the only brand that has a size bigger than my big feet - at the women's line!) Argh, if only I can buy it soon enough! At the moment, I need to have polished toes as long as the dead have not yet returned to life (is there a quicker way?)

* Got a deadline to finish a CR by Tuesday EOD... maybe Wednesday AM (really AM)... but that's the deadliest deadline. I'm still hopeful I can deliver it on time (if I beat procastinating - that's it). It sure is a huge effort to be doing something that 80% I find challenging, ergo, interests me, 20% part of me is thinking - wtf I'm still doing it. Yes, this is really a humbling experience.

* And yes, I still have that (chuva)career development (more chuvaness) plan that I haven't drafted which is due on the 15th. For the past 2 years, I haven't even revisited the one I do each year after I submitted one as a requirement.
