responsibility

I'm on my second mug of coffee for the day, contemplating when I'll finally be able to design a system on my own. As it is, I still have a lot to learn. Estimation in particular. I can't really tell if I'm learning too slowly for my own good, or if it's just normal to take some time to get used to the whole idea of being responsible for a client's security so to speak. Scary, I tell you.

That is not to say that I'm not enjoying my work because I am. It's just that the idea of being responsible for something as vital as a client's satisfaction and the company image is quite discomforting for someone as new to this stuff as I am. Simple systems I can manage, but I was given this rather finicky client to handle and I really want to get things right even if I have barely half an idea how to. All I know is I want to get my job done the soonest time possible--and flawlessly at that.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm chuffed that I finally got myself a decent charger for my Nokia phone. After running through the bundled charger as well as two knock-offs, I decided to wisen up and get myself the real thing. But I have no money so I finagled one from Papa yesterday before I went back here. Cruel of me since he said it was his last money, but he gave in anyway and bought the bloody expensive charger for me. Awww.
