Of Work Rant

Most of us fail to do something that we would rather be doing, working seems not to be one of them. Just yesterday, wifey was commenting on my mentality of work. Let's get the idea straight, i do enjoy working most of the time, the times when i whine is where i find the work to be of low value and things are not exactly moving in the right direction.. but still, i generally enjoy the completion of task and letting the person that eventually needs to bear the responsibility feel assurance that whatever time bomb we were defusing or defused would never explode in our faces..

Discussions are always the beginning of a work process.. but it irks me when more time is spent on discussions than actually doing it... it irks me more when decisions are made to leave it in the hands of people to make decisions and get things moving from decision to actual work.. and then.. it hits.. something is not right, can we relook this? shall we have a discussion? you have time? its irritating when you have to redo 9 checklist that you spend hours, time and effort to complete (alright, hours is part of time, i just like long sentences alright)

while the work is now "split" among 3 people.. the fact that i have been looking at the same thing for the last 3 weeks makes it all the more irritating for me.. i have expanded my thoughts and energy into 9 checklist, now i have to make heavy changes to 3 while participating in discussions to verify the thought process

people think differently, people act differently, that's why there are always variables in decisions.. there is certainly no perfect way of doing it.. but we just got to get it down don't we.

the fact that i'm taking too much time to confirm my 3 just shows the level of motivation and energy that is left in me.. no, it's not the ORD mood that's creeping up, it's the fact that things should have been done and dusted with..

so who says you get to do what you really like? To be honest, i wouldn't know if i would like something until i have done it.. even so, i might eventually grow not to like what i liked earlier.. so people change and preferences and emotions change as well.. all this, in the context of work that is..

so what now? nothing la.. it's back to work, day after day..

it's just another midweek rant

have fun folks
