So here i am being told by my mom that i need to post more. or more that she thought it was about time for me to post again. so here it is mom another post :D
but hey i'm just being a pain. it does have an actual purpose. Classic shameless self promotion. (not that anyone other then my mom apparently read this but who cares).
on to the promotion.
So i'm writing my thesis, and you all roll your eyes "so what" well that tends to lead to stress and of course sleepless nighs when the brain just won't shut off. But i've found a way to get the brain to wander other courses, much easier to translate into dreams then "fibres under fingernails", and that's art. Not that i'm really an artist, i just happen to draw to let my mind unwind and then colour it using Photoshop 5.5 and post said drawings on the web.
So here comes the shameless self promotion...........wait for it....... ;)
Yup i have a Deviant Art site. A fabulous community of artist, and honestly there are ALOT of wonderful artist that do post real art here. Luckily they don't limit their membership to "real" artists, so i'm good to go.
and now you too can go and take a looksee if you like at the stuff i call my art
CLICK THIS LINKY
and if you don't consider that stuff art well then you can go wander the rest of the site as well :D
anyways
later days

whatever can go wrong will do
It seems to be one of those weeks. I get back from NI thinking hmm, i got lots of work done i should be able to get this thesis done in the next 4wks, sure i have an extra experiment to do but the data base will be sorted so that's one less thing to worry about. right? WRONG!
Don't you just hate it when you are the student working for free in a business, essentially making their science better and sure it's not like i'd expect everything to go perfectly to plan. But i do expect a professional who tells me that they'll sort out the stupid fibres database while i'm away to do as they promised. i'm mean sure they have work to do, but i also gave them 3 FREAKING WEEKS!!!! i honestly think they stuck it on the backburner thinking it wouldn't be such a big thing to create a query to pull all the info i needed from the database. But if it was "No big thing" why the hell would i have asked?
So i get back and they're like welll... i haven't really had time to look at it yet, and i won't get to it this week either and i'm going on vacation next week i'll see what i can do when i get back.
FUZZY BUCKETS!!
So that would put me w/ a cool week to figure out my results and write my results and discussion up. Classic Thanks but no thanks!
Honestly, if they weren't gonna do it, or didn't think they'd get a chance they shoulda said from the get go and i coulda figured out what all the stupid ID numbers were and extracted the data into Excel long ago. And therefore not have to spend my weekend of touring sitting at home trying to consolidate the most illogically set up database in the world. Essentially the FREAK who designed the database had no sweet clue. Nothing is connected properly and none of the different sections talk to one another, so u can put the info in but it's like pulling hens teeth to get it back out in a sensible fashion again. And sure this isn't the person who said they'd sort this messes fault, but their lack of effort until 12h30 this afternoon when they pitched in a whopping 35min only to say, this database is crap u'll have to start over, was not what i would call helpfull.
And sure they're all appologietic but well that doesn't mean i can't rant about it anyways.
Oh and to top of the cake w/ a cherry, it appears that something i'm allergic to is pollinating so my nose is stuffed up, and running at the same time, i'm sneezing to beat the band (nearly took my eye out on the microscope this morning) and my throat is sore. Here's hoping that the bailey's and the hot chocolate and the icecream will have done something for that.
anyways i've ranted enough on 2 different accounts
