Days of nothingness

It's been the third week in a row now. The thrid week where work slows down to a crawl. And it's not an easy thing to do. For those who think i'm a total "choe boe" person, "choe boe" your pig head lah.

Well, basically, i have 3 jobs given to me by my boss. Firstly, there is a programming job, which i have to liaise with a PhD student to do it. It's basically to create a web site that accesses his computer programme. But the problem is, this person (by the name of Colin) has gone back to his home country and is only contactable via email. So whenever i bump into a problem which i cannot solve, i have to email him, wait, and wait, for him to reply. If he's merciful enough, he'll reply within that day, normally it takes him one day to reply. I'm still waiting for his reply since last friday. At the mean time i can only try blindly.

Secondly, i am supposed to promote my project's website. The main aim, is of course to be on top of google's list, so that many many people may come by and visit. But this task is given to me, without any budget. So i have to do it the "free" way. Which is not entirely possible since people do pay google to be on their list and so on, or at least that page must be highly referenced.

Thirdly, i am supposed to continue development on a game that i created some time back. This game, offers the player no reward, no sense of tension whatsoever, who's going to play?

So most often i sit in front of the computer, blank, doing useless things like watching drama, checking email, and yeah, looking busy.

This have to change, i actually have to motivate myself, and somehow make myself useful i guess. These days of nothingness ain't fun at all. It's like standing in line, at the death row, wondering when will my boss come and wallop me up.
