The day started slow, as usual, my deliberate change since long time back, i dun rush in the morning. I woke up half an hr earlier to laze ard and brush my teeth more slowly. Then took the train from west to east, and had a relaxing bfast with usual bfast kakis and chatted randomly.
Went to the t1e orat mtg, was quite a good one, cos achieved my goal to convey the msg. Jus to highlight that first, IT is working and we clearly know what is happening within our control, second, highlight issues and to find info that we need but we dont know. Chairman got the hint, urgently request for coordination mtg. Exactly! Whose role is it? Why no overseer one? Nobody knows wats happening at the higher level. Everyone is only looking at their own portions, assuming the other portions. Sigh... The result - Go round and round.
Satisfied, tho it took longer than i expected. It was alright. I handled other issues via emails and texts in the mtg, ocassionally looking up to roughly know abt the orat plans. Detrimental to my brain tho..switching betw topics, fast. As im getting older, im reluctant to multi task, things shld jus queue. One at a time. Cant focus, cant think clearly, or stress. All 3 are negative.
Then cleared some emails and cleared people's queries, aiding others. Then late lunch at bk. Bad diet.
Then t4 orat- cleared. Quite good too. Not wasting time. We brain pooled.
T1e structure, brain stormed and quite good with some progress too. Tho took longer than usual also. Striked a good nego with lst. People shld really be enlightened by now isnt it? Work at the expense of health? I was jus thinking it is easier to manage ambitious staff prolly. Staff who jus want to retire, what can u do to develop and motivate? They have seen the world and know wat u will be thinking back on ur death bed. What are the memorable events? The ability and skill to achieve success in all life's aspects is then deemed to be a real success. Successful in jus one area, okay....
Loll in the end, i didnt complete the blog that night. Got intercepted by work chats. Work chats are another feat i need to make changes to. Have obviously adapted to work chats cos couldnt keep up with emails. But now it is overwhelming again. But it is more instant. It can even send pdf now. Anyhow good for me, that i cant recall much of that frenzy night. But bad for me cos my memory wouldnt be trained to pick up events. Im quite sore over not being able to rmb certain things easily. Quite a struggle to dig, squint and frown.
I wanna train myself up with better memories actually. So lets see. Ive calender to remind me. So those rushing at desk are a blur. And i really dont like it, it must be unimportant since i cant rmb so why am i still doing it, i know a few pple stepped in to discuss, and i rmb quickly clearing some emails by typing furiously, determined to get it done before the next mtg, so blocking off other distractions. Serious me = scary me. Loll i was told. They really dun dare to come and chit chat.
Then i went sbd mtg with wch. Not much conclusion. Info not ready.sigh. Then rush to t4, to settle lan integration. Actually im quite lazy to type out what happened. But we managed to organise it tho there is some follow up required for the pple. Perceptions and interpretations. In the end im still glad that we clarified and resolved it. Tats the most impt. Else no pt bringing it up. Really takes 2 hands to clap. The smallest thing also need teamwork. And here's where murphy visits. Everything isnt right, need to rework, delay and then kyo sai to damage control. And so this drags till 10pm. Shag.
