End of a horrible week

Published:

Finally, it is an end of probably one of my lackluster weeks in Saigon. Lets see, what happened:


  • HSBC deactivated my bank account because they could not find me. I forgot to change my address but I was surprised that HSBS never tried to call me or email me. I always get advertisements through SMS and email. I went in to change my address and passport information. Now I can get money transferred to my email account.

  • Yesterday I got my favorite shirt muddy and probably stained while I was following two HTV employees to their office in Tan Binh not far from the airport. I thought their office was in District 1 so I did not bring my jacket or wear a mask. Forty minutes later, I regretted that.

  • On the note of HTV, they called me and I thought they wanted me to complete a project for my school. I agreed but it turned out, rather lately, that they wanted me for another project for their client. Why they were not clear in the beginning, I am not sure. They recorded me speaking English so fast, I had to skip words. Their transcript was three pages long and I needed to complete it in under 4 and a half minutes. I made it but I feel sorry for the Can Tho Province residents who have to listen to it.

  • My Moodle template for my school became corrupted, I do not know why. It only works in wide resolutions greater than 1024x768.

  • My Joomla template had problems. This was for my own new website.

  • Several of my school projects are behind schedule thanks to the Albanian hacker.

  • On the note of open source, I let the guys down again. I am too tired to organize a meeting...

  • At home, I cannot sleep. Even worse, I wake up early to fast so I get less and less sleep each night. Yeah, I am a grouch these days.

  • My Milestone phone drained it's battery really fast this week. Wifi is off and most of the apps as well. Bad battery???

  • Got into an argument with a significant other. That was a big drainer for me. :-(

  • I need sleep...


Anyway, it is Friday. Saturday I work but I may skip it to rest and get caught up on projects.

Can't wait for a brighter Monday morning in Saigon. Next week has a lot of positives.

Have a good weekend.

There, one of my few negative posts on my blog... :-)
