March - a bad month

I think I have burnt-out in March.

Many bad things happened, at work, at family and with friends.

I have no ideas when the situation changes to that bad suddenly in March. I feel very tired and frustrated. I have applied 2 weeks leave in April, however, I have not yet finished the reports that I promised to my department Director. I feel very bad that I cannot deliver the reports that would possibly take me only a week or 2 to complete.

Sometimes, I know life is not easy. I meet a lot of good people, the Director is one of them, some co-workers are also very nice. And I understand I also need to face or handle the difficult person, well, very tired to deal with them but this is life and I must face it.

The most ridiculous thing is.. I don't think there is a perfect world, I just want to have a better world. I cannot figure out why it is so hard to make this happen.

Goodbye March and Happy April is coming~

Are you kidding?

豐銀行發言人表示，市民假如懷疑收到假鈔，第一時間應先向警方舉報，因為將假鈔交予銀行，銀行亦不能即時分辨真偽，最終還是會將鈔票交予警方鑑證。

In the big corporates, there are many office politics.

"Make it happen" - I experienced it in a US vendor IT company.
"Stop it happen" - I experienced it in the IT department in a US investment bank.

It is your choice to work in which environment.

Think twice for the career decision.

peace?

My life was peaceful (except work).

Suddenly, people show up together and create fights.

Today, I was have meeting and two people called me just becuase they had a fight in a call. I didn't answer the phone during the meeting. Afterwards, I called back and understood the situation. It spent me around 30 minutes to fix this. I am working, I am not in vacation, I am not jobless. Why they created problem and then went to me.

Still need to face it

Chatted with management. The road block is cleared as promised. I have no other reason not to go ahead.

Stay to work or leave to say bye.

Let's see.

Give up lar

I don't want to play the game anymore.

I give up to fight for my work. I know some people are helping me but sometimes I think my work issue is less important than the business issue. Personally thinking, if the department is still operating, it is fine. (in fact, this theory should not be correct, I am just finding an excuse to give up)

Some people think that it should be enough to do just enough at work. (but the reality is.. people twist the idea and do sth stupid that prevent the work to be done in an easy way). But the result is not enough, they just 'finish' the tasks and then 'close file'. By the way, I am not talking about perfection, I am talking about work efficiency!

Why can't people work smart? Why people like to spend hours to brainstorm what they don't know at work? Why can't people just let the SME / the specialist to do the work? Right people for the right task. That is a very simple idea.


If I cannot change the people (I am only a small potato) and I cannot change myself to accept to work in a stupid way, I better change the working environment.

I need some changes in my job

I need some changes. Many obstacles here, just within the department, it is all about people or maybe politics.

I will talk to my manager this week or next week to see what else I can contribute in this department. I want to put my learned things in my work. I don't like to play game, I want to do something.
