Endless bad news and problems since the past 2 months. Every day there are news of this abc will be leaving in Aug, then the bcd will also be leaving in end of Aug...bla bla bla...and today i heard that my Eng Man ar resigned ( hope this is not true)....i wonder what the XX the management is doing? Pondering.
Our vessel is set to sail off in mid of Sept after one round of postphoning. Now, which is the most critical time ( 3rd week of July), whereby everybody should be very busy clearing all their rubbish (lots of paper work, documentation to follow up...engineer hate documentation) prior to the sailing of the vessel..however thing seems to be working the other way round....talking to each other, answering to phone calls, coming in late leaving the office early...everything that you can think of which are not suppose to happen in a well manage organisation....yes, you can find them all in my office..OMG!!
What's wrong with the company ? I only want to quickly finish the project (1st project + 1 company)and move on to think about my future....
I met with our engineering Director Mr R on Monday afternoon. It was 3 to 4 months after he joined our company. Very strange, i am not nervous at all..from my project office, i went up to Mr R office. I was in formal attire...in red ( my favourite color). When i went to the outside of his office, there were a bunch of people waiting outside...my common sense told me that these people were there to meet with Mr R...most and almost all of them are from my project ( though i dont recognise most of them..this is the scenario working in a big project team).
Me: Hi R
R : Hi Siw (I like the firm hand shake with Mr R),
Me: I think this is the 1st time i meet you for discussion
R : Yes, i hope this is not the last time..( Joking while looking into my eye..)
Me: Ofcourse, i hope not ( both smilling )
xxxx That's how we started our communication....
The session didnt last long...only for about 15 to 20 mins. Just enough for him to get to know me, for me to update my progress to him and also i managed to tell him my plan in the company after this current project....He is a nice guy. Though aged about 55 to 60 (i guess), tall and serious looking, but once you getting closer to him, knowing him better, he is really a good guy, nice and friendly.
During the meeting with Mr R,i almost asked him what does the management trying to do....trying to tell him the exact situation in our project (as though he didnt know anything) but then he mentioned that he knew there are a lot of thing happening in our project...he wanted me to do whatever i can for this moment and waiting for his email to get me transfer to other department ( which is supposed to happen if the program is properly planned in the 1st place)...anyway at this moment i tell myself to wait for his instruction and give him 1 week time to talk to the manager of other department...patiently and not affected by the negative atmosphere in the
office...I tried but i failed this evening...i choose to leave at 545pm which i normally will stay back later..went to IMM to treat myself a good meal hoping that i will bounce back tomorrow morning..and i believe i will..though im still wring my blog at this hour...i will sure wake up at 6am and reach the office by 730am...
Again i remind myself, this is the time i need to stay calm, not affected by the environment and for sure the bad things will end one day....
Looking forward for tomorrow....By the way, i thin the Choco freeze Moca blended with Ice cream did help in calming down my mood..LOL!!
