18 February 2019

วันนี้อากาศหมอกเเละหนาว I learned from my mother not to use Google translate, but Thai to English dictionaries are more accurate.  

One of Columbia Stone's goals for the week is to complete installing and inspecting the Probels. I scheduled a couple last week for Tuesday, giving today to prepare for them. I went up to check if I could schedule more inspections for tomorrow. Looking at the welds, I decided that I need the welder's input before I write deficiency reports. I think that I have come to a point in the decline of quality welds that I cannot schedule inspections without a report from the company that they are prepared for the inspection. An elevation cannot be assumed complete, when the connection plates are welded. The freezing weather made this decision more decisive.

A second thing that made my day slow is that my operation manager is having me switch to another laptop, and IT had to work on it for most of the day. At the end of work I was downloading programs that I prefer to use like OneDrive and Vivaldi browser. I am a little tired of companies trying to squeeze as much money out of me, so I am going off grid Google wise. I did so on my work computer and phone. I can't do it on my tablet because it is a Nexus 9. I also will not have Facebook on my phone or work computer. Microsoft is another company, trying to squeeze as much money out of me with all their subscriptions and data from free services. I will only access gmail and Facebook occasionally on my home computer.

I wrote the following pondering the sermon on the mount:

Find joy in the eternal perspective. Life in the world is not true happiness. Happiness comes from living, pondering, and talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ. The world may find pleasure in vain things, gratifying pride, and carnal endulgence; however, the saints of God embrace temperance, modesty, and charity. These are sources of joy, self-esteem, and peace. Don't worry about what other people say about you especially if it is false or they persecute you for your faith in Christ.
