Excuses ...
Thought I've given up on this blog? If you did, I'm not surprised. I have a bad history of not updating my blog after a period of time or when my interest wanes. Well, this time I actually do have an excuse as to why the extended period of absence. Was trying to reinstall MovableType but somehow I managed to screw up the simple process. The entire publishing engine was down and I did not really know which portion I did wrongly. In addition, has been really busy at work and did not really give priority to this issue.
Well, in any case, finally managed to get everything working again. Issues at work are slowly stabilising and we can finally take a breather. Starting to make plans for the trip to Europe and figure out where we will be going. We have generally decided which countries and cities that we will be visiting. Now, we must start planning on the details and I will post them on the Europe Planner as I do my research. Actually contemplated on buying some travel guides from Borders yesterday but the price was ridiculous. Two books will add up to almost $100! Exorbitant! Guess will have to do it the poor man's way and slowly search around on the internet as well as visit the library.
Things seems to be better these couple of days, the various incidents at work are getting less catastrophic and easier to manage. However, another aspect of working life is really starting to get to me. I wonder is it me that am too naive to believe that as long as things gets done, it doesn't really matter who does it. Is it really that important to segregate work domains and responsibilities? Are we to be bounded by all these red tapes even at the expense of not achieving the necessary milestones? I admit that I'm very impatient and I simply do not like waiting for things to get done simply because of such limitations. In my opinion, it is totally unnecessary and inefficient.
Ok, enough of my complaints, I'm sure someone else is most probably ranting and complaining about me too. Different styles of working I guess. Not that either is right or wrong, I'm sure people with more experiences will tell me that each has its own merits, but hey, I'm a hot-headed and imprudent young man. Can't wait to finish this project and get started on the next one. Have to make sure that lessons learnt from this one do not go to waste. Shall begin researching on my Europe trip now, need to make sure that every day of the trip is utilized. The air tickets are EXPENSIVE!
