bebelan random di hari jumaat

It has been a while since the last time I wrote here. 
Suddenly have the urge to do so but don't know what to write.
Just, random stuff, I guess.
Working right now, bored. Someone just called and asked about vpn. I know what it is, what it do, but I don't know how to solve his problem.
I'm so sorry, random Indian guy working with physics department.
Sometimes I think working at ITS doesn't really suit me. I feel guilty every time I can't solve someone's problem. I know that's normal for new employee as I'm still learning all about those computer stuff but, I want to do my best at this. I mean, I'm paid to do this, of course I want to make the money worth it.
and I also feel guilty for disturbing my co-worker, asking lots of questions while trying to understand what the caller's problem really is and figuring out the solution for it.

Hurm. I'll learn step by step, I guess.

Oh, I did a blood donation last Wednesday :D
Felt good about it and weird because that was the most random thing I did that day. I was on my way back home, walked by the Olin Hall and saw an American Red Cross truck. saw a sign on the door of the truck that said, 'counter is in Olin Hall'. Suddenly remembered a year ago (or maybe two years ago) where I saw the same truck, walked to the registration counter, stood there for like few seconds, saw a sign that said 'picture ID needed' and I didn't have my passport with me at that time. T
hen when the person on the counter asked me if I've an appointment or not, I said "just looking around" and walked away. It happened for a couple of times in the past two years. Saw the truck, interested to do it, but never really did.

So, when I saw the truck last Wednesday, I thought "hey, why not today? I have my driving permit with me; no more 'I don't have a picture ID' excuse. I'm in a good mood and I'm feeling well"

Without realizing it, I walked into Olin Hall, headed to the counter and said "hey, I'm interested to do this."
signed the paperwork, got into the truck, aaannndddd did it!

maybe some time in the future, somewhere, my red blood cells are flowing in someone's veins. Heck, my blood may also save someone's life.

don't you think that's cool?
I do :D
