deus ex machina.

i found this while surfing for stuff for my assignment- i googled "leak+prevention+gasket" and it returned this:
toiletology 101

let's plunge in; flush out the facts and plumb the depths of toilet repairs. almost everything you ever wanted to know about your toilets! and some things you probably never knew you needed to know.

i'm working on my first assignment right now; something about centrifugal pump and leak prevention and gaskets and etc- it sounds cool, i guess, but unfortunately that's a far-fetched mental picture. but i'm cool with that, it'll be the perfect excuse to get away from the plant. which also means that i'll be grease-free for the whole week. yeeha.

the week started great, i went to the plant and did some maintenance work (by 'did' i mean tolong buka bolts and nuts, hand over a wrench when the technicians need it, went back and forth to the workshop to get some parts etc. hey, i'm only two weeks here- what do you expect?). hehe.

i got my shiny, brand new- a little bit too heavy- safety boots yesterday as well. and i no longer need to wear the smelly ones they keep at the health, safety and environment (hse) department. yeeha again.

but the main, superior reason for this bliss is i'm no longer broke. the simple fiscal transaction was the ultimate deus ex machina that made my stay here significantly pleasurable- i no longer need to skip lunch, i no longer have to shy away whenever they talk about duit dapur and sewa rumah, i no longer need to decline and spoil oh-so-frequently, their plans to dine out and most importantly, i can get myself another pillow.

yeeha, indeed =)

About*
the chronicles of (rid)dick*

dick* will be working for the big-green-blob soon, just like many of those before him who sold their soul to the big-green-blob.

he is a bit nervous about it but secretly hoping for a dramatic start.

the start was indeed dramatic, or at least it was not totally lackluster.

dick* is now no longer on a new, unfamiliar water that used to bug him so much - he knows now that being not-unfamiliar actually opens up more wooziness.
