Can't get to sleep so am making use of the time to update this little life journey of mine.
Was kind of engrossed in work recently doing performance testings for some of the batch components.. Anyway, the gist of it is that none of us has the correct skill set for this kind of testing. My team lead was talking about this problem on friday... I was thinking about the problem on my way back from brudder chua's cny gathering. So after that a bath, I wrote a lengthy email to all the team leads on some of the problems we face during such testing and some suggestions to get around it. Email was sent out about 2.30am... bad move heh. Got quite some feedback from both my team lead and my previous team lead asking me what am I doing in the middle of the night not sleeping.
What the heck. I used to get stressed up over colleagues working OT, working during weekends etc. This, I feel has imposed unnecessary stress on me especially when I was still new to the team. But this email, was only sent to the team leads and I reasoned that will be ok but I was wrong. My team lead asked "why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Working so late to prove that this is a big issue? or you can't get to sleep?" I wasn't happy with that reply but I reckoned it was meant to be a harmless remark. My previous team lead was talking to me about my email just now. She commented "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?" I told her she had exactly the same remark as my current team lead. She added "It's true what, you gac meh?" (gac = my director who used to send emails out late at night)
I was quite disturbed by that comment. First of all, the email was only sent to the team leads and not everybody in the team. Also, what kind of inconvenience have I caused these team leads by sending out an email at 2.30am? Thirdly, my team lead sends out email during weekends as well - and I reckoned that this is worse due to her being a team lead.
Hai ...
Today, my sis's ex husband came over to our house. He was looking for my sis to sell the flat they once co-shared. But as my sis is in taiwan, she could not come back for the paper work. Many reasons why she can't come back - one of them I think is because she has exceeded her visa period in tw. Heck she hasn't been around for more than a year. Anyway, I am continually amazed at how this kind of trouble seems to keep coming. So I believe educating your kids is important ie teaching them how to be a responsible adult = responsible to themselves, to their family, to the society and environment. If not done properly, be prepared to clear their shit for the rest of your life.
