BORED!
Somebody come entertain me please!
I'm BORED. At work yes. But boooooorrrrrrrrredddddd.
Yesterday didn't write too much fanfic... my sup gave me some data from their experiments to help key in, which i finished in about an hour (was almost falling asleep too since i didn't even get 4 hours of sleep the night before, cos i was packing). And then my boss who's just sitting in the cubicle next to mine asked if i was free to help her redraw a diagram nicely cos they need it for a poster. Of course i helped since i have nothing better to do anyway. So yup, my day was still considered pretty... fulfilling? no that's not the word... well at least I did do something useful/helpful, rather than just.... reading up on ANOVA --> which i learnt in school last time but kinda forgot already. Actually i wouldn't even have thought to read up on ANOVA (Analysis of variance, statistics) if not for it being used in one of the experiment data analysis that my sup just sent me yesterday.
And now I'm back to being really bored. Like no one, ok only one person in my team is here. He's the computer modelling guy and he comes fairly early. The rest are like... late late late. Not that I'd be any different if i had it my way though. I'm seriously not a morning person. But I think that's changed recently.... more on that later. Anyway there's this Indian guy in my group... and he's name is Santosh. Which my sup pronounces and Santoshi. Which of course, sounds freaking like Satoshi. Lol. Just a bit of a random sharing.
Been using this app called SleepBot (free in the iOS app store, at least was free when I downloaded), and its really interesting. I tried to to record sounds and track motion, and its actually kind of interesting to see how much i toss and turn during the night and all. I always knew these kind of apps existed but never bothered with them. I used to think 'like what's so interesting about it anyway?' but some how... its just interesting to see the graphs and spikes of 'activity' during the night. You just turn the app on, it still works even when i exit the app after starting the tracking, although the instructions say it won't work if you get out of the app page... and then leave it beside your pillow. Of course you should keep your phone plugged in during the night if you don't want to wake up with a flat battery... I've not tried how much battery the app will eat up in a night though, since i prefer to wake up with a fully charged phone :P. Shall try it some weekend... But for me I've been charging my phone overnight all the time, and leaving my phone all over the bed around the pillow when i sleep, so there wasn't much of a difference to me. Just that I have to remember to set the app before I sleep. There was once I was playing some game till i feel asleep... and when I woke up the phone was all hot and the game was still on... I was like 'damn! I didnt manage to track my sleep last night' haha. So the app kinda forced me to... sleep. Instead of playing games till i drop 'dead', which I've done numerous times in the past. I didn't even know when I fell asleep... just that i must have gotten too tired while playing games. Also I never knew exactly how much sleep i was getting, nor do I have any idea how much sleep i need. Been using it for about a week and I've been getting an average of 4-5 hours of sleep each night. And from yesterday i realised that i need at least 4 hours of sleep to get it through the day without falling asleep along the way. 4.5 hours of sleep is probably enough, but I'd like to get maybe 5 or 6 hours. And i can't sleep any much longer than that even if i don't have work... I'll end up just waking up in the middle of the night as it happened several times when i tried to sleep too early, say at 10 or 11pm. That's late? Idk.. my usual sleeping hours are 2 or 3am :X 3am is pushing it a bit too late though... since I'll have to wake up before 7am if my dad has classes at 8am (he's lecturer).
Even when I get to take public transport myself I'll probably have to leave the house around... 7:30 or 7:45... so its not that much extra sleep that I'll be able to garner. right. I'm counting down the hours till i can get off work now... dad insisted on fetching me back again, enough though i argued that it's the afternoon for goodness sake and there won't be a terrible squeeze on the public transport. It's the best timing for me to 'practise' taking public transport really, but he doesn't see it that way. I just want to go to the mall on the way back, fool around, i mean, buy some good and indulge but nope I'm afraid i can't do that yet sigh. Have not been able to go anywhere on my own since the day of the accident... haiz. 9.19am now... less than 3 hours to go till 12. I wonder what time my dad can reach my office though. Seriously today is kinda... meaningless for me. I have nothing to do! I even did up the appendix thing for my boss yesterday without him telling me to. I have nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing to do. And no I'm not in the mood to read up ANOVA on CNY eve... >< arghs... bored!
