Unwind..

Love the smell of freshly brewed coffee. (though I'm not a coffee drinker)

For the pass 1 1/2 years, I feel relief after work. It is as if the weight just jumps off my shoulders, and being able to breathe again.

I had a superb time last night during LSS. When we're in God's presence, the moment freezes and all is left is me and Him. Tears streaming down my cheeks, just worshiping, worshiping my King and my friend. Despite of the crazy politics at work, I just praised Him, singing my lungs out to 'All Creation Worships'. The lyrics goes something like this..

You are God, and we praise You
You are Lord, we aclaim You
You are Eternal Father
All creation worship's You
All creation worship's You
Amen.

Beautiful huh?? The song pierced through my heart. All creation worships Him, and here I am worrying about work. I know that God will be my defender...If God is for me, who can be against me?

I really pray that the situation at work will take a 180 degree turn for the better.

I had lunch with some colleagues today, 5 of them. To my amazement, they were venting out their disatisfaction about our managers. They too are unhappy. They too are sick of the place. They too are fed-up.

There's this guy, Calvin Yeoh.....I dont particularly get along with him but as mutual colleagues we're ok. He's like the main guy for Tetra Systems and both L&L adore him. Whatever Calvin says or do, they always agree. If he breaks the rules, L&L are absolutely ok. If we complain bout calvin to L&L, the just listen and wont take action. Take example of the most recent case, Calvin is creating a new template for HLTD and he sent out an FTR (Formal technical review). So we are suppose to review the document, comment, fix the document, send for 2nd FTR then only can there be a rollout. While we were reviewing the doc, he sent a rollout and asked the contractors to apply it. So YV went to raise the issue with small L (mind you, he's our manager) and he just kept quiet. Its blatantly wrong, but small L just kept his mouth shut......is he waiting for the cows to come home??

If they cannot handle situations like this, then dont become managers.

Dictionary.com defines the word Manager as:
man·ag·er
–noun
1. a person who has control or direction of an institution, business, etc., or of a part, division, or phase of it.
2. a person who manages: the manager of our track team.
3. a person who controls and manipulates resources and expenditures, as of a household.
4. British. (formerly) a theatrical producer.

Dont you think its time for them to take charge?? Becoming true managers??

As long as I'm in Box, I will do everything within my means to do things right. (*SMILES*)

This is just the begining.
