8:30am – Subway is selling 6 inches sub for $3.90! Get a Spicy Italian for breakfast and feel it is so much healthier than McDonald’s for some reason.
9:30am – I find out that my tutors do share my ideology of running the courses the way I am, and they understand the value of learning about technologies in association with problem solving and business strategy. Well, I realize they work for me so in some way they may say stuff that I like to hear… let’s just stop at that! I really like to have some support in this lonely journey of teaching IT to students in business degree.
10:30am – Sky City has made an announcement saying there is an unnamed buyer indicating an interest of a 100% ownership of the casino company by paying off with cash. Even no information on the proposed takeover price yet, the share price goes up from $4.35 to $5.22 for a 20% gain. So I guess the market has sort of decided how much the buyer should pay without needing any valuation, how convenient.
12:00pm – Watch YouTube for a while and in a particular talk show there is a concept pretty funny: working for a job that you dislike is just like working as a prostitute; oh you are a high-paid doctor right? That means you are a top-graded prostitute if you don’t like what you do but only for the money. Luckily, I still like what I am doing
1:00pm – Two students call for a meeting with the BBIM director, coordinator and some staff to discuss their idea of having a social-networking facility for our degree serving all the students and staff. I think we collectively have done a really good job to make the students feeling comfortable enough in expressing their interests and ask for support from the faculty in situation like this, despite of the outcome. This feels even healthier than my morning sub! I gave them some of my suggestion and hopefully they would not feel any kind of discouragement, coz deep inside I really admire their passion and wish they can implement the tools they believe in.
2:00pm – Congrats to Brian and Espen for winning the Spark 10k competition!
3:00pm – Just find out from Lotta that in Sweden they have a name for every single day in a year and if a person’s name is the same as a particular day’s name, then that day is the named day for that person to celebrate. Very interesting!
3:30pm – While I am blogging about everything I learn today, I just notice it is about time for me to leave. Not just because it is a Friday, but mostly because I work in Uni. Hahaha!
