Never to be a work-aholic
At 1 pm, i went to the office where I am supposed to work in. The place was very nice, actually it is a semi-appartment type so I feel at home. I was then introduced to the members of the team and they were nice too. I faced the computer for 7 and a half hours, without any breaks or whatever, i just stayed there and tried to install an integrated library system on a windows platform. It was a pain in the ass for the ILS that I use is natively linux. But i do not have any choice since the only available platform is windows. I told my superior that we need a linux machine, i was very glad to hear that they are also planning to have one. So i gave them a recommended specifications for a linux server box. It has to be intel at the moment because i do not receive any possitive updates on AMD's opteron. A pentium 4 processor with a hyperthreading capability will be fine. Add up some ECC memory and a SATA or SCSI hard drive and our ILS will be ready to go.I was busy, I already catalogued 30 books, (part of the 1000 titles of which I am to catalogue). I am also tasked to make some indexes and abstracts of conference proceedings and other documents.
I really do not want to be a workaholic, but as the economy tells me, I need to work hard so I could get the money needed for my tuition fee. I also need to pay my loans. I also need to buy a cellular phone. I am somewhat alienated. Good night everyone
