“Trust No One, Not Even Me”

How much trust can you have for your manager? Apparently not much. In fact for my case today, I will say none at all. My counterpart at my company’s customer’s side has been a nice friend and she had told me some news regarding her employment and work environment. I know the news were given in confidence. However, when I had to inform my marketing manager about her resignation (as it will affect a project we are working on), the manager actually wanted to call her immediately to query. I let slipped the news to the manager in good faith that the manager can be prepared. But the result was that I was made to look bad. The manager’s character is definitely flawed and I swear I won’t lift another finger to help unless ordered to. Now my problem is how can I make up to my friend…

Cabernet Sauvignon

Read off a bottle:
A well-balanced, fruity red wine produced from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape in the Oc region, south of France. It is perfect accompaniment to white meats and cold meats.

It's so unfair!

I admit I haven't been handling the project well but to say that I haven't been handling the project properly is so unfair. How would I know what is proper when I don't even know what to do? This kind of project is totally new to me! I don't know what are the processes and deliverables needed in a testing project and then expect me to give you whatever report you want just like that? Said I should have gone and asked people but how was I able to ask without the slightest idea of what and who to ask? Idiotic...

What's your name going to be in Brazilian?

The FIFA World Cup may have been over but Brazil still remains one of the most favorite teams despite not winning. Are you one of their fans? If yes, have you wondered what your name is going to be like in Brazilian and printed on the famous yellow jersey?

I came across this website "BrazilName" which will generate a Brazilian 'equivalent' of your name and print it on an image of the Brazil jersey. You get to choose the jersey number too. Below is my jersey with the name JAMINCHA, generated from my name JAMES NG.

Not been doing so well lately...

Ay... I'm not doing well lately, having a hard time keeping up with my work and not screwing up my project assignment. Seems to be easily distracted and not focusing. What's wrong with me?

A poem read off a book...

Magic Word
You may know me
I'm your constant companion
I'm your greatest helper
I'm your heaviest burden
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure
I am at your command
Half the tasks you do can be turned over to me
I'm able to do them quickly, and
I'm able to do them the same every time
I'm easily managed... all you have to do is be firm with me
Show me exactly how you want it done
After a few lessons, I'll do it automatically
I am the servant of all great men and women, and of course
servant of all the failure as well
I've made all the great individuals who have ever been great
And I've made all the losers, too
I work with all the precision of a computer and the
intelligence of a human being
You may run me for profit,
or you may run me to ruin
It makes no difference to me
Take me
Be easy with me and I will destroy you
Be firm with me and I'll put the world at your feet
Who am I?
I am Habit
