Toasted Dine, Over Time

For the moment, all core members of Sautern Enterprise have to juggle between not only between demanding clients and overly-protective families; with the beginning of the tertiary education season, school work has to be thrown into the pot of caustic soup too.

Which was where I found myself spending the after-hours of a brutal Form 6 session, doing whatever I am suppose to do – odd jobs.

Tommy treated us to a sumptuous lunch at a local medium-high class restaurant – where I finally ordered a meal whose name took longer to comprehend than to eat.

What the bloody hell does “beef schnitzel” mean?

After the meal, which we incidentally used to reaffirm and redefine some company goals, we divided into two teams; Chong Yang and I went over to Palma to fix some nasty software issues, while Tommy and Peter went hunting for tailors who could produce sports-worthy attires.

Which left the unglamorous and rather unappreciated debugging work to us.

It seems there were some residual pools of toxic leaks in a database software created by a freelance member of our team who has recently departed to a place beside the sea.

Its pretty hard trying to communicate with a departed person... Or rather the Creator of the program.

Yes, the programmer of our database software has left us mere mortals to sort out any kinks with the mostly-functionable software. The debugging process is greatly hampered by the lack of access to the source code, which as any self-respecting geek would know, is vital to any software debugging process.

After slogging it out for what seemed like an eternity, only one of the many glaring problems was solved. It's a pity our company doesn't have more capable programmers (which currently number only one) to write these software.

After running overtime reorganizing some data for the employees of Palma Housing, we went into extra time for a important discussion regarding the creation of a website for the said client.

Details will be disclosed in due time.
