October 03 往好处想在环境变化时， 我们时常对环境人与事物会有所批评， 其实回回头想一想, 抱怨并无济於事， 因为事情并不会改变， 地球也不会因为你而停止转动， 抱怨只會让自己心情更糟， 不管你的工作是什么， 我们总在适应不同的人与事， 毕竟这就是人生。 往好处想, 任何事都有两面。 August 03 雨天里的Raffles MRT Station 我觉得世界上任何一种东西, 都会有一种味道。 不仅是人物品或是白开水， 连季节都有。 某天...走在Raffles MRT Station 地下室里， 还没出去， 我就知道下雨了。 下雨， 有下雨的味道。 后来还渐渐发现 人的喜怒哀乐也是。 这不是抽象的说法， 而是真正嗅觉， 多麼的奇妙呀。 就像上星期某天下班时， 那个味道也是真的不一样啊! July 22 旧同事 为了打听一些‘圈内’消息， 再次联络上了一些旧同事。 那是两份工作前， NCS的同事。 两个曾是跟我度过大大小小关卡的下线同事。 啊。。。好怀念闲来讲讲琐碎事， 无所不谈的时光。 在我换了两份工作， 继续往上爬的当时。。。 不知觉身边也同时没了几个可靠可信任的好战友。。。 朋友是旧的好，老的好。 同事也一样。 这时才明白高处不胜寒。 May 24 忙碌生活除了忙碌, 也就是忙碌, 这似乎是行政项目经理(Project Manager)的悲哀, 每天都在处理项目琐碎的事。 一个好的项目经理, 其价值在於建立组织运作的制度与程序。 然而这一切建置的越完善, 项目经理就越不重要。 这麼说来不就在降低自己的价值。 於是有些组织中的人员, 工作的主要目的在建立自己的价值, 造就成为没他不可的情势慢慢而演变成挟持的形势。 当那人离开时 组织的能量就一切归零。 February 20 Brain Storming If there is any brain storming in your workplace, the best outcome you would get is the consolidation of ideas from different backgrounds, ideas, perspectives and experiences.... You are talking about brain storming, after all. Seniority and designations are nothing but symbols and sources of idea and contribution from different view points. The worst outcome is the whole session ends up as 1-sided, engineered, skewed and used as personal agenda. And sad to say, this is often the situation you see nowadays. What I encountered yesterday was an experience of a life time. Have you ever heard of a brain storming session turning out to be a session of 'scrutinisation' of the items that you 'prepared'? By right, no one is to be prepared before coming to a brain storming session. By coming prepared, you are skewed towards certain inclination. Ironically, this happened. You are supposed to come prepared, akin to have come forward with a proposal infront of a 'committee' which is supposed to 'brain storm' with you. But a brain storming session turned out to be a session of scrutinisation. December 20 I need a break I have been bashing through, resolving and enduring many obstacles, both big and small, at work. For the past year, recalling what I have done, I must say that I gave my utmost commitment and energy both within or outside my scope of work. May it be fencing for myself, protecting the interests of my projects; or justifying for reasons in gaining support from the management.... I have not feared or felt uncomfortable. 2 Words: No Fear. People have been saying that they are amazed at how I survived some of the storms that they thought were otherwise too great to manage... I have no idea too. I simply do my part. That's all. However, I do feel a bit tired now... a bit exhausted... I need a break. It's time I plan a holiday. October 31 To delegate, to have faithHave you ever got that strong surges of blood going to your heart? thin draws of air into your lungs? too focused on microscopic stuff?! Yeah... these happen to me everyday recently. Not once, not twice, not thrice. Happens to me these few weeks each time when I am stressed up. I should be more relaxed, or shouldn't I? I mean, I make sure that things happen the way they should, or should happen I think the way I want them to happen. Maybe that's why. But isn't that supposed to be like that in workplace? I do not believe in delegation anymore. I loath to believe PMP's teaching that all people wants to contribute! October 16 Boss is always right... or is he? Boss is always right. Bear this in mind. But he/ she might not be correct! Ok, so you think you are right; you have a burning sensation to tell the whole world. What I can tell you is this: Keep this to yourself. Just keep working towards your boss' agenda. You can't go wrong by following this golden rule: Boss is always right! (But not necessarily correct. Sorry, I just have to say this.) October 10 So, I have done it again, and againOk, I admit that I can be nasty at times if need be. So... does that make me a difficult person at work? I do not think so. Why, oh, why then do I treat you so differently from the rest? Why you? It's only a job, c'mon. Let's move on, if you may. September 26 又是月终了每在月终时总觉得特别感性。 处事待人也得心应手，总觉得大伙儿都在这儿时候变得更感性， 跟平常不一样。 公司在这几天也比平时静了些，气氛平和、安详些。 每人在月终会议都展现‘礼让精神’，每人都有平等发言权， 大伙儿讲起话来更理智， 更带幽默感。 希望每一天都是月终，世界就太平了。 也许月底发薪，我们都变得感性了吧! September 24 互动、互懂?今天又是一个有惊无险的一天。。。 要让同事下属大伙儿们互动是件极高难度的mission.。。。大伙各自有自各的动机。大伙都不间单。 惟有仔细小心经营共同理念与赏罚 (70% 罚， 30%赏。。。真可悲!) 方可把一个几乎面临瓦解的项目起死回生。 以上的经历恨恨地违反了PMP (Project Management Professional)所提倡的‘每个职员都是尽力为组织而付出’ 的理念。我猜PMP是从‘十全十美’的角度看世界的吧! 还没看过有一个互懂的team 或department或project... 也应该没所谓互动、互懂的完美组合吧! 必尽，完美组合需要时间经营。。。亦脆弱亦花工夫。 互动、互懂的完美组合。。。 对我而言是童话吧。 September 23 101 emailsNot exactly so many. Maybe around 100. That is the typical number of emails that anyone in my company is receiving in a working day. You get a 50% discount on a Saturday or Sunday. What more ridiculous is that the government agencies in the country are keeping paper copies of emails as 'black and white'... so much for saving the earth... and utilising the harddisk storage at the same time. September 20 EmailsI always believe that email is not the best way to communicate with fellow co-workers and colleagues. Several reasons:
a. it is not as concise as face to face conversation.
b. it causes higher possibilty of confusion where you may interpret certain points incorrectly.
c. you do not know the mood of sender; or as a sender, you cannot convey the mood to your co-worker.
d. it is often used as tool for office politics and propagenda.
Arrgg... but I had to use point d above this afternoon.
Hope that the person learnt his lesson today and not make the same mistake... otherwise that email is definitely not the last unpleasant email from me.
Let's move on. September 18 Too much too many, Too little too fewI have both sides of situations.
Too much too many makes thinking straight a challenge. But ironily, I can almost see the finish result amongst all the concurrent things that happen. Of late, I have been having too much too many. It really makes me wonder whether all these are neccessary
 .Too little too few. hmmm I do not have too much too many of these situations. On the occasions that I did, I really wished my life can be too many of such situations  .Anyway, moderation is the key to a balanced lifestyle, be it related to work, social or family. September 17 To solve or not to solveHumans have a strange way of dealing with problems.
While the most 'ideal' way to end any problem is to solve it, the world is not really perfect
. Solving a problem and prevent any future occurance would be to find the root cause(s) and take the correct actions. What methodologies you use to tackle a problem does not matter here since there is no 1 shoe fit all sizes.I know that solving a problem is not easy and the implication is that other people's dirty linen would have to be exposed to the open.
But it was fun to see a decision maker 'U-turn' and eats his words after I applied a little bit of pressure and asked twisted questions to the answers he had given.
Fun. Of Devils and SavioursIt's had been a maddening 2 weeks before my ICT.
So much so that at least 10 hrs had been spent each day at work.
Irony thing is that during the hussles and controlled confusions, you can see who are the devils and who are the saviours taking turns to assume the opposite roles.
Much have been exhausted and not much energy have been spared for other things beside work.
Can't really complain because I chose this path. Hope I see some good days ahead. |
