Tired...

Was a tiring day in the lab today.

I just lied on my bed and slacked for over an hour before i even felt up to doing anything...

On days like this I wish I had one of those small laptop tables for use in bed... then again, I have too many wires connecting to my laptop. The power cord, a USB hub that's connected to my mouse (very important!), a charger, a USB powered fan, the cooling fan (that seems to be dying and needs replacing)... and the only other USB port on my macbook is connected to an ext HD. Then there's the Ethernet cord too. Recently I've switched to using the Ethernet cable instead of wireless, just cos its so much faster. The cable is a leftover from the time we put the router in my room whereas the router had to be connected to the TV (we signed up for Internet TV service then) in the living room. Now it’s the other way round. Router in the living room, and my Ethernet cable to my lappy haha. The router location sucks. Somehow. The wall or something... there's really bad interference. In my sis's room just like... 10m away she has problems with the wifi connection. When lying on my bed I often am unable to connect to the wifi on my phone. And that's just like 10m away too!

But back to the lab. The big boss asked me to help with testing some parameters of a batch of industrial samples, and the samples came today so it was a pretty mad rush for me to finish the testing. All the results will be there (well actually I have to manually measure one set of results) tmr morning... I hope it all goes well so I don't have to repeat...? I highly suspect I might need to repeat 1 experiment though T.T

But well... learnt how to use two new equipment today. The TOC/TN analyser - which is actually my group's equipment, and the conductivity meter - which is really easy to use, just like a pH meter.

Sis is coming back from Aussie tmr. Hopefully I don't have to repeat too many experiments so that I'll be able to join my parents at the airport...

Pfttt another flight crashed today. Air Algeria did I spell that right? Sigh. What's with all the sudden problems with the flights recently? Its been quite a while since I saw so many airplane related accidents in such a short time no?

Initially wanted to do some translations tonight, but nope, I was just way too tired. Well at least I did do like 4 mins worth of video this morning... And at least next Monday is a public holiday and at least I can get some... rest?

Let's see how things go tomorrow... but I think it'll be another really busy day at the lab too. Alrights. Its only 12am but I'm freaking tired today. I shall head to bed... good night!

So I was about to head to bed. When I just had to refresh the page. And then I saw, oh wow! A new subbing comm! And of course, I just had to join it XD

More competition ne? Hahaha. Well I aren't competing with anyone though... and I'm... collecting all my videos from KnH so I just watch them raw... Why do I even join all these comms anyway right? Idk! But if there's some video that I don't have, some old vid... I'll definitely download! And its nice to get to know other subbers for sure!

I was thinking that it's gonna get hard to find recent VSA or AnShi videos that aren't getting subbed by other groups already (I don't really like duplicating work, esp since I'm just a single translator and my time is limited - once you start working there's no long vacation like school holidays anymore)... but well... my fellow Mafias are really good at suggesting interesting old videos to sub... so I may be 'stuck' on those suggestions for a long time...

I'm hoping to have around 1 release every two weeks... practically I'll only have time to translate on the weekends, but that'll be gone if I have any plans (with friends/family) so we'll see. I have a life outside of the virtual world and Arashi world, so real life will always take precedence. Another reason why I started my own comm. I don't want any deadlines or to rush my work... Ok I do set deadlines for myself too... but that's different from say the team wanting to sub every week's vsa and you're the only translator... well that was my story anyway...

Arghs. I'm getting... random? I need my sleep! Good night!
