For somereason I didnt get much sleep last night. This is what is supposed to happen today...
There is a link for this equation
Sleep.less
Its not that I am not getting enough sleep. But rather too much sleep. I am now regularly getting about 10 - 11 hours sleep a day. But I goto bed about 2/3 am which is also another problem.
It would be nice to be able to goto bed at 9:30 and get up at 6:30. Its 12:30 now so I should proberly goto bed instead of ranting. But sometimes I spend hours just lying in bed ranting to my self about how I should get up earlyer and not waste the day etc....
And there concludes the rant marathon.

Ink cartridge
I now have two whole reams of premium paper for my printing machine. But now, from no fault of my own the ink for the printing machine has run out. Which proves correct the theory which says, what could go wrong will go wrong at the most annoying time...
Dentist
Went to the dentist today, as previously planned and mentioned... Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it never is... So that went without a hitch. They also gave me a free coffee voucher because they were running late. Which just makes everything that much better.
Intensity
This kinda leads to a question of intensity or hard work etc. I have no problem with working long hours etc. But if the work doesnt get done in time, then whats the point. Most of the time when I study its in burts. Some are short, 20 mins, some can go for ages 3-4 hours. But the longer ones only happen the day something is due, which is good for exams and cramming, but I just cant seem to motivate my self to that level on a regular enough basis. ie through out the semester. Everything seems so far away during the semester that you just kinda let it go by and say you will catch up. But the catch up is only an effort so that you dont completly humiliate your self come exam time (CRAM).
So what to do about this problem. I would not know, as I have tried and obviously failed. Its the end of the semester and its hard not to be intense now. However it is a long period of about 3 weeks to stay alert and intense. So there is still a lot of time to do nothing.

Hope
AtM I am hoping for a lot of things to go right. But as I know (see D-news for the article of things going wrong) things always go wrong at the most annoying time. hmmm, thats interesting
I really need to get more paper. I thought I had another ream lying around but I dont.... Which further destroys my chance of doing well in this economic assinghment. I think I'm gona get my some of that Berroca. Its supposed to help keep you alert through out the day. Just like those engery drinks but works out cheaper.

Week 13
Looks like I have booked my self a week of endless torture, which has thankfully started early....
I have a dentist appointment for a filling tomorrow which, will be painfull for the rest of the day. Slowing down my research for my economics assinghment which is due this Friday. I also have some homework to catch up on see my lectureer... about for economics and my crap marks in the tutorial exam, my MYOB assinghment which I still havent had a chance to fix up in preparation for the exam on Thursday. And then theres the management accounting homework and the Variance analysis which I still dont understand to catch up on. Oh and the exam on Thursday is on MYOB, Excal and Access. And its written.... Just preparation for that exam is gona take like half a day, never mind actually studying for it. Thank fully its open book and we have computer in front of us. I only started the reseach for the econmics assinghment today after a friend from uni rang up becuase he was having trouble...
Johnathans birthday party was on Friday so I figured that I was gona be out of action for 2 days (fri and sat) But for some reason I got up late (1:00pm) today (Sunday), proberly because I am lazy. I also had a meeting with some property developers which went for about 2 hours, putting a big dint in the time I had left today to work on researching for the economics assinghment...
And for some reason I now also have to goto some seminar re: property development (*smells scam...). Which is on the Tuesday. Which I'm not sure I'm even going to be able to goto as it starts only 1 hour after my tutorial...
So Monday is gona be pretty much wasted as 12:30 is my date with the dentist and I think I will only get about 3 hours of homework done. The rest of the day will be spent crying like a little girl. Hopefully on Tuesday I can get my sources for the assinghment down onto some paper. Wednessday will invariably be spent trying to get upto speed for the computerised accounting exam on Thursday. Which leaves me about 10 hours to do my assinghment. Thusday I can catchup on where I went wrong and fix those mistakes and hopefully the lectures will be short and sweet, aiding my economics assinghment.
Not forgeting this is week 13 which means revision for final exams must begin. Obviously this is not going to happen now, but I am happy to report that the stress is going to begin for those exams which start in about 2 weeks time.
Good luck Dhimesh.

Bike locked on overdrive
For a while now my front gear thingy has been stuck on the second cog. Today I found out why.
It was all becuase the clamp/holder for my bike lock had slid down the pole and was stoping the leaver thingy from moving accross down to the first gear. I really feel like an idiot.

Action Picture
Took a cool picture of a pillow in mid flight. I am really surprised that the digital camera actually picked it up.
I'm afraid
Today I realised that I am afraid of my glasses falling off my head. Espeicaly into the urinal. Or when I'm looking over a balcony etc from a great height. Hopefully this isnt the start of a fear of heights. I know I'm already a bit afraid of heights but only because I'm overly safety concious. I wonder what I would do if my glasses realy did fall into the toilet. Would I fish them out? Proberly not....
Merry September
ING Direct - A slightly early christmas
received my first christmas card of the season about 2 weeks ago from my bank.
Asterix
After our (Jonathan and I) misadventure to the comic book store in the city, last weekend which resulted in us missing the bus... I began thinking about what comics I used to read. And it had been such a long time that I had forgotten what it was called. But today, while trying to catch up on some management accounting it came to me.
Asterix (and Oblix)... Asterix is actually an old comic but the Asterix books at the library were always popular. Even more so then Terry Pratchet or Rold Dhal.
"Asterix the Gaul was originally written by two authors, Ren? Goscinny (who was the cartoonist) and Albert Uderzo (who wrote the stories). Asterix first appeared in 1959 is the French magazine Pilote. After appearing in Pilote, the Asterix strip was published by Dargoud Inc. until Uderzo founded his own publishing house, "Les Editions Albert Rene"."

Inefficent Sleeping
I have also worked out (after extensive reasearch...) that I need 9.5 hours of sleep. Nine hours would be best, as that would give me time to get out of bed slower... Which means that my sleep is less effective then what the average is. If you search on the web most ppl get by with only 6-7 hours sleep, while 8 hours is recomended. which means I require 1.5 to 2 hours sleep more than most people.
Since there is 24 hours in the day and 8 hours recomended the sleep to wake ratio is 1:3 (1/3 or 33% ). In my case its 24/9 = 2.5 or 40% of the day.

Fixed with in a range
Fixed overhead remains the same at all activity levels becuase its FIXED....
I have spent the better part of this evening trying to get into my head why a fixed cost such as F O/H stays the same. I understand that its fixed... duh... But thats only at a certain activity level. I now also understand that the costs remain fixed within a range of activity. If the level of activity increases outside of the range then the fixed overhead would also change. But as luck would have it text books fail to mention this... And ofcourse all exercies have different budgeted and actual activity levels (for variable overhead), but fail to mention if the costs are within the range or not, which is why I was confused.

Postcards
Just so you know, I have uploaded a few more postcards to the invisible postcard site.
There have been a load of new postcards come out recently, but for somereason I have not been able to hang onto them. As in I would collect them and then leave them (by accident...) around the place. Which is quite annoying since I'm not bringing them home where they should be.

Printing Naked in a Paper paradise
For the past week or so I have been doing my printing at uni because of my indiscretion with my current printer.... Anyway, I have noticed that the crappy el cheepo, aka $3.95 "multi purpose paper" is not square. As in it does not have right angled corners. Previously I had thought that the slight variation was because I was uncoordinated at stapling and consequently the paper isn't perfectly allined. The printers at uni use the reflex brand of paper (the most expensive) and it takes little to no effort to make the pages line up (which makes stapling and hole punching a breeze).
The whole point of this rant is.... Now that the paper is properly lined up the whole world seems like a better place. hmmm.... That gives me an idea for a drawing.

MYOA - Mind Your Own Assinghment
Over the past week I have been trying to get some kinda group (total = 2, i.e. its a partnership) together for my MYOB assinghment which is due in 7 days time. After sending of half a dozen emails. My experience with groups so far has not been that good so naturally I kept my hopes down. But I think we may have reached a new low. But then again this could actually be a good thing. So, I suggest Saturday or Friday to meetup and just get the assinghment over and done with. But then he kinda dances around umming and ahhing for about 15 minutes and in this time nothing was said as I was prepared to let him sweat it out until he got up the courage to tell me what he really thought. Apparently he doesn't even care about the assinghment as it is ONLY
worth 10%. And has not even completed the homework (Date Due: 2 weeks ago). So then I concede defeat once again and say that we just do the assinghment our selves and just "reconcile" our answers next Wednesday (the day before its due). Once again I am faced with the reality that group work is a mystical creature that doesn't actually exist.
I also have an assinghment which is due today but I will hand in tomorrow for reasons unavailable.
