Swimming in a Sea of chickens"wat kind of analogy is
that?"
"i don't know, it's like, you know, in a sea, many many, chickens. and you're swimming in there."
"what kind of chicken? white or black.."
--------------------------------------------
i've been very uptight the last week.
very, very uptight.
i can just feel the blood pressure rising and an imminent heart attack if this goes on.
you don't eat well, you don't sleep well, you get headaches, you get upset.
it won't go on for long, it's just this period of transition that brings with it incredible stress.
so i know this will pass.
but what an incredible week it has been and what more incredible things to come.
----------------------------------------
i was in a pretty good mood after work yesterday.
with military like planning and much forward-thinking, i managed to reach my deadlines three times faster than i committed.
to do 3 full reports in one week, is way above what i can even imagine.
and then i got news while on the bus that there is basically a lot more red tape and paperwork to be done before i can get the reports approved.
it's not the extra work, it's the extra delay that i know we can ill afford.
it's a bit like,
being a commando and and leading a team to fight a war to be won in a week,
and then after a period of intensity and lots of planning and struggle,
you finally smell victory and the general calls you to tell you you're in the wrong country fighting the wrong war, so can you please take a detour to the next country and fight there thank you.
you can just feel the balloon in you deflating.
and he's the general so you can't really say anything right?
--------------------------------------
i've been given an impossible deadline and i want to meet the deadline as best as i can and that is the reason for all the stress.
and it's always cases like these when Murphy's Law reigns supreme.
some of the incredible things that have happened you wouldn't believe.
you don't even know who to blame because it's just an unfortunate series of events,
in any case i was too busy thinking how to go forward from there then to lamblast the pple who were involved.
it frustrates me that pple don't think ahead and think for the company.
it frustrates me that the company is so departmentalised that we shoot ourselves in the foot and become inefficient because every department looks out for themselves only.
it frustrates me that i can't bring myself not to care.
----------------------------------------
so anyway,
it's been a very unhappy week.
"Pple always take the path of least resistance" - Tony robbins.
remember there is a choice to everything.
there is no such thing as "no choice".
the pain of Path A is too much therefore i take Path B.
but if one day Path B gets too much to bear,
so much that it exceeds Path A,
then Path A is what i take.
it's almost there.
----------------------------------------------------
there's an interesting quote in the papers today.
"delegation is important. They may never do it as well as you do, but it is important. What's more important, is that they know i'm watching. all the time."
-----------------------------------------------------
i've been called a "body" last week.
that's actually quite rude actually but i was simply very amused.
how many times have you heard someone call you a "body".
my boss asked me to attend a meeting for him, and so i did.
they asked who i was representing, so i told them i was representing my boss.
and before i knew it, this guy was calling the manager telling him he wants more than a "body" in the meeting.
"i want more than just a body here ah! you don't just send me a body! next week onwards you send me (so and so..insert name)....."
it'd be so cool if my name was "a body". Last name "with life"
"Hi, i'm a body."
"A body with life"
-----------------------------
there is so much rudeness around that pple don't sense it anymore, i feel.
("a body" doesn't bother me, there's a lot more slamming and screaming than that)
in light of my new found frame of mind, i've been taking it a lot more lightly.
i feel like i'm watching a drama serial now.
you know how sometimes someone can say something so rude that you can't help but instinctively laugh? it's like beyond the realm of getting angry.
they should send the singa lion over.
-------------------------------------
Haven't had time to juggle or do planning much.
darn.
i may even have a new plan now, which will set the thing back again.
it'd be interesting to see if i procastinate on my new plan.
that should show me how much pain i feel on Path B.
Always the path of least resistance right?
