For the past few weeks, I have been working on the college internal website. I have learned a lot especially AJAX, Javascript and ASP. I am still not well versed but I was able to bring more fun to the website. It has not been officially transferred to the live system because it will be a major change and it has to go through the higher management group before it can be introduced college wide. My department manager is quite excited to introduce this but I, on the other hand, still think that there are a lot to be done and with just me developing it, the website has to be tested thoroughly before introducing it to all the staffs.

The weather today was cold and foggy. In fact, the whole day has been foggy and the weather forecast predicts that it will be cold for the next two weeks.

Mee and I got a surprise yesterday. We have access to all the Virgin TV channels. It is a promotion offered by Virgin where existing or new customers will get access to all channels free for two months. Well, I will have to remind myself to cancel it after two months. Even though we have the access to all the channels, I still find myself clicking through channel by channel every now and then to find a programme to watch. Final verdict, it is not worth paying the price to watch all the channels. Most of the programmes were repeats and some were very old programmes. In the end, we found ourselves watching Nothing to Declare, World War II, The World Strictest Parents and a programme about social security disability benefit buster which I forgot the name. Yeah, all facts and documentaries.

I just received a £15 voucher from Monster Supplements, the website where I usually buy my PhD supplements. The voucher can be used on any products including accessories, weight gain products as well as the best weight loss supplements. I am of course not interested in weight loss products but I wonder if I should change from consuming muscle building products to weight gaining products. The voucher ends this month and that should give me plenty of time to think about.

Just few weeks ago, there was a new colleague, under the apprentice scheme, joined the office. New office furniture was brought in and a few tables were moved around to adjust the spaces available. You see, my department manager is the head of five different but closely related departments and the new colleague has to do the job of four of the five departments. Thus, she will only be in my office in the morning and the rest of the evening, she will be in another department. I reckon that the workload will be equal but how can she possibly do her job efficiently if she were to handle four different types of tasks? At the end of the day, someone will have to follow up her tasks while she goes to another department.
