On Hold

So frustrating! I’m in the middle of doing a heat exchanger rating calculation, and I can’t move forward because we don’t know where to get some of the data. This is precisely one of the reasons why something that should take only a couple of hours to do takes days to finish. Data sources should already be established from the very beginning, but I guess this would be asking a bit too much. Plant design wouldn’t be plant design without the confusing jumble of data and documents =(

So to slake off some of my annoyance, I’m sneaking in some Internet surfing time in between frustrating moments with my work. Right now I’m browsing through an article describing how ingenious algorithms designed to identify and catch spam mail work. I can’t imagine the painstaking diligence required of the people behind these, but I bet they get more frazzled with their work than I am right now.

Alright, alright… I’ll get back to my real job now. I just wish I’ll be able to finish something… anything!… today…
