whats gg on?

life in my new portfolio is definitely crazier than ever.

just when i thought that attending course is an ideal escape time fm the office, the phone rang non-stop and smses kept flooding my inbox. talking to pple who doesnt know how to express themselves properly added on the frustration. more than half the time, there was alot of guessing work to do and paraphrasing to figure out what he was trying to say. worse of all, there was no proactiveness from his end. unfortunately, it happens often and this is gg to be a perpetual headache.

wondering how to keep my cool and retain my zeal admist the many inconveniences we experience at work. maybe a change of environment and more holidays?

different strokes for different folks

since i started my acquaintance with the many rank and file folks at work, the definition of power has taken on a whole new meaning.

there are nice and sacrificial leaders who willingly give up promotions and monetary gains to serve the community. to them, being recognized and worshipped as a god motivated them to serve for years. Decades of their work life are dedicated to standing up for their c0-workers.

there are others who explicity display domineering behaviour and yet be able to command so much respect. at times, the heated exchange makes me wonder why he can still be at the helm of things when clearly people's self-esteem have taken a nose-dive from his insensitive comments uttered publicly.

his unique personality has definitely caught my attention to want to know him better.

a moment of bliss

finally got some much needed rest today.

was doing a recce at the zoo this morning and did not expect an early release. am so glad to finally have a moment of quiet time after weeks of non-stop events, travelling and personal commitments. its really blissful to be staying at home, enjoying home cook meals and to cuddle up in bed reading my favourite titles.

had been working doubly hard the entire week to make up for a week of absence from office. was at port dickson and genting highlands for a work cum leisure trip.

things have been moving pretty fast, with daily reports of retrenchments, short work weeks and temporary shutdowns in the electronics sector where i'm in. thankfully work is still under control with a caring boss and helpful colleagues by my side.

just this morning, i received another jab of encouragement when my boss commented abt my presentation to the committee members. i could live on the compliment for 1 whole week! i guess i'll never get tired of words of affirmation. :)

procrastinator at work... finally

how does one overcome the inertia to start on something which is important but not of great interest to you?

it's sunday afternoon. i'm in the middle of crafting my project 6 where only 20% of the script is written. i'm forcing myself to go through the ordeal as the route towards attaining the title isn't far off. am experiencing a little jittery just by envisioning the crowd during my presentation. it's been 6 months since my last project hence the route to embarking the similar path again is rocky... like what i'm going through now.

the week ahead will be busy with yet another series of birthday celebrations, toastmasters club visits and the preparation for the coming trip.
