Today I had a long busy day again and one thing I hate about having a long busy day is to have night call with people from US / Europe. When the call starts, my mind if literally at 10% battery life, enough to sustain the basic function of my body - sit up and open my eyes. However, for those guys on the other side of the world, it's just the starting of their day and God knows why, these people really know how to start their day. They can be so energetic, chirpy and talked like today is the last day of their life.... they laugh, joke, feel so happy and grateful that a new day have started, new hope and yada yada yada.....
How I wish I can adopt some of that mentality..... So, I'll worry about that when the clock strikes 10 tonight.
Hmm... as usual, I'm in front of my computer, trying to log in WoW and .... BAM ..... 900+ queue in position, that means I can only get to play in another 30 mins or so. Well, decided to give my blog a new make-over, new colour, new font style and bla bla bla....
After 35 mins of fondling with the functions and layout, finally I'm satisfied....at least for now. I guess the thought of why I wanted to change my blog is also due to the meeting I had this afternoon with my boss, my VP and another China colleague of mine. We (me and my China colleague) were suppose to present our work to our VP. Although he has a annoying sense of humor, at least he takes the effort to praise you after he have shoot you 4 feet underground. Guess from this experience, I know why my lady boss was so eager to make me re-work my slide deck in the past 2 days. The level of details and the ability to stay focus that my VP has amazed me. I always thought, people at that level would only like to look at things from a helicopter view. I was soooo wrong. I'm not sure if I'm unlucky to have one that is so detailed oriented or I'm lucky to have leader who knows what is going on under his nose. That remains a question mark to me and it's very subjective depending on my mood..... ya ya...b*tchy me...
Well, I donno why but I felt much better after having that session with him, definitely not because I enjoyed his "mulut laser" session, but at least I know someone up there knows that I existed. Another point that I realized is my lady boss did try to defend her staff, of coz with her limited vocab but at least she tried. For that, I gave her credit and I think I will take back 30% of the horrible things I said about her.... Yes, she is still a pain in the xxx to me but not entirely a b*tch.....
Well, I guess it's time for me scrap away some of the negative thoughts and try to stay positive for a change...I know it's easy to say than done but at least I know I am not alone, struggling in the new job. That China colleague of mine face the same thing as well so we both sort of group up and b*the a little after the meeting.... like they say, when you are in a bad situation, whoever that stays in your boat will be your best ally and support you can ever get.....
Time to stop typing and start WoW-ing.... ^_^
You can just type the 'ass' word out, no need to censor it with xxx. LOL... it's your blog, you're entitled to write whatever you like. :p
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, it's good to have a boss who is detail and eager to know every single thing the staff is doing. I don't like those who just leave it to the staff and only wants to see the results.
If your boss wants to know the details, it shows he wants to know what is going on and you will feel appreciated that someone is listening to your hard work. Gambate ne Potato-san! Ush! Ush!
LOL.... next time no more censorship....
ReplyDeleteI think it's a double edge swords, he is eager to know your work but on the other hand, you need to put in 200% when you wanna show him your work....
Sigh....tiring even by just thinking about it.....
