luv_ktv's untold moments

jus bitching here..

1) after claiming to know human behaviour n supposed to b practising gd time mgmt, y do ppl still do things at last min, n blast off when something SEEMS to be wrong? i upload our apps to the system, den sup need to demo to client, so tried to use it. suddenyl cannot use?!?! he den ask "u din update the xml file ah?". i was den.. wondering how come he blurted out that line siazz.. i know he's busy, but cant he manage time better? instead of last min rushing to finalise the preparation of a demo? i know he din really mean any harm, such as trying to put mi down or b judgemental. but jus find it.. a poor mgmt of time.

he even say, he oso dunu like last min. but last min dun oni apply to last min work passed on, but oso to various arrangements, to avoid any fluster in the process.. cos in a rush for time, u lose ur EQ and ur thinking n proper analysis... u tend to think GOOD of ur work, n criticise others'. n this time, he did miss out certain things, tat y din work.

2) a job agent cork up her timing, end up tmr's interview postponed. n when i told her my during prob n after, she commented its low.

3) the fat guy in my office, is giving 1 mth notice liao. somehow, i feel tat tis place got high turnover rate oso. tis place started in 2002. over these yrs, oni 1 guy stayed till now. all others have left.. how i know? 'cos the fat guy work for near 1 yr oni, den the snr work for 4yrs. so?

side issue: hahah.. somehwo i know y tech ppl "need to communicate". my sup sometimes, jus speak out wat's on his mind. din bother to rephrase in a general manner. he tells mi directly the instructions of our clients, without digesting n phrasing in his own way. telling by the way the info is stored in his mind. den when it comes to mi, i digest.. n elaborate... den he say "ya, tat's rite". n as programmers, we use our brains more often. n we have our own way of understanding. n soemtimes, when we jus pass teh info to ppl, we use this understanding of ours to tok wif ppl.. hahah.. expecting them to know wat is oredi in our mind.. lol..

another frn of mine, 50+, in IT line. he oso... tok a lil, n hope the msg gets thru by "tak tak tak" sounds. haha... n he's not local, from swiss. dunno if tis affects. when he speaks first time, n his idea is not passed thru, he get slightly agitated n tries hard to explain properly.. haha..

4) after doing 4 yrs equivalent of proj, is it still normal for a team lead (my sup) to accept outdated data? cos.. the info passed to mi 2 mths back. den now, he chk wif the client again, seem like the info gotten then was outdated. we need to update the database wif an excel tat was sent to us.. umm, is it supposed to happen?? n oso, he din do any data-integrity chk on the excel. since i been doing the db, to hasten things up, he can ask mi chk integrity first... sighzz
