Work, more work, even more work

The new challenge am facing is bad management & the lack of prioritizing work. I think its normal in any work place that there is a time when a lot of work is just piled up, load periods at work happen, however I know from experience if you can prioritize work, set deadlines and organize the work flow "not slow it down!" then you can manage to finish out a lot and get pass that period. The problem is, if there was not proper task management/ guidance & prioritizing! And the do'er, is asked to do all at once.

That whole situation took a chunk of my time today, till I realized that I will always act as I feel :) and that I have the knowledge to breakdown any big task, why not utilize all that now? So I settled on four things:

- Take time to organize, try to prioritize
- Finish up time consuming repetitive tasks
- Write down everything
- Clarify all that to the management

With that, I think I can beat it.

Thought of the day: to do one role is a thing, doing two is another, and when you fail to do your role, you should step back & not blame others if they did not do their & your job well :]

The first step was a hit

I'm happy, I feel like going to celebrate my mini win :} the path is now clear, a long one and will take time to be completed, work is becoming interesting again thanks to this new clear path :D

A moment of frustration

After reaching to the final stages just before doing the formating and ending the report, I discovered some glitches! I deal with people who do not want to work and occasionaly don't know how to work :D

I know I did my task very well, thats why I discovered their mistakes although they hid them very well, but the question is when will they do their work well?

اغبطهم and not envy them

I AM SLEEPY,,,, help!

Memoooooo :: FIGHT !!

And so here I am having a talk fight with Montery Jack the Australian mouse in Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers! look a like. This guy actually looks like that character in the cute old toon, I can't resist overly smiling when I see him, I try to make it look as "the friendly me face", today was the aggressive part of that person LOL and as aggressive and defensive he was, I was right and he was wrong!

Apart from the toon, the laughs I got, it was yet an other exploration in the human personality world, each situation shows you a different aspect of someone around you, that is the birth of "knowing" a person. I know they are trying to make excuses and twist the facts to show that they are perfect at their work, but neglecting a request for a whole month is pretty hard to cover up :D especially if you get reminded of how crucial this work is EVERY WEEK after the deadline. He did make me feel that I was evil but on my defence which I did not need! This was after a month and 4 other reminders, that seemed the only way that they will hear me out, they did.

So life goes on, too little time to elaborate more, gtg back to work....

p.s: I had a good night sleep, and woke up with a big smile. 1073

The trip to the MAZE

I'm not referring to the blogger Maze :D but to a building!

It all started when I acted smart & thought that my memory "that mainly consists of short term memory, long term memory doesn't exist in my brain" can help me through the place, I was able to figure out my way through the parking that I visited once more than a year ago, I did! then came the super hero me that wanted to explore a NEW entrance! saw a few employees walk in the direction to wards the "main entrance" sigh I recall seeing a few minutes back & went straight forward not making at least some distance between me & them to see where is the entrance exactly!! I ended up very close from getting into a wall, then when I looked back there was a man that looked at me with a smile & turned right & disappeared! "to him I say المعياب عند الباب", unfortunately I skipped the main entrance that was on my right a few feet before! I said to my self "yes the door was in too deep to be seen",,, it was! its like a mini hall then the door.

Any how, went inside like I was super woman walking confidently through the maze that had hallways over looking the hallway that I was looking at while walking in the hallway. Reached the lobby with my weak memory, then asked the security guy who was busy reading:

me: Excuse me I'm looking for this & that department.
him: "with a hmmmm look" قسم إيه
me: This & that.
him: " with a hmmmmm'er look" بتاع ايه
me: .............."I was speechless for a moment",, its the This & that department!
him: اعتقد القسم حيبأه بالدور ال3
me: thank you

Went to the 3rd floor

افتر لقيت لي سكرتيرة بكل ثقة قالت لي ،، ايه روحي المكتب الثالث ،، قلت يه يه يا هاللي بروح له اللي كل شي يبدى ب 3! وصلت للمكتب الثالث
انا: لو سمحتي الاخ فلان وين؟
السكرتيرة: منو؟
انا: فلان؟ من قسم علان بن فلنتان
السكرتيرة: من قالج انه هنيه؟
انا: مكتبين قبل مكتبج "بابتسامه شقاقيه" ،، ليش اهو مو هنيه؟
السكرتيرة: لا بس ماعندنا احد بهالاسم
انا: اهو موضف عند علنتان الفلنتاني
السكرتيره "بكل ثقة: ايييييييييييييييييييه هذا بالدور الخامس
انا: شكرا يعطيج العافية

الدور الخامس ،، و انا للحين مو مستوعبه شنو علاقة اسامي الاقسام اللي قاعده اروح لها بالقسم اللي ابيه بس قلت اهل مكة ادرى بشعابها! بالمصافط بغيت ادعم طوفه فما قمت اعتمد على احساسي و ذاكرتي

بالخامس "نسيت ان لي صديقة هناك بس من كثر ما هالمكان متاهه دخت و مادري وين الله قاطني" لقيت سكرتيره
انا: لو سمحتي فلان اللي يشتغل عند علان الفلنتاني وين مكتبه؟
السكرتيرة: اي قسم
انا: "شلون نسيت اقولها القسم مادري! مليت و انا اسأل قمت ما اثبت" بالقسم الفلاني
السكرتيرة: ايي هذا بالدور ال15
انا: @@ بال15
السكرتيرة: اي و اكو لفت قريب من مكتبي تروحين اهنيه و هناك

رحتى هنيه وهناك لين وصلت الدور ال15

اول ما صعدت ولا وحده اعرفها معرفة سطحية ،، البيبان بهالمبنى اتدزهم ليش لما شفت هالادمية و المسكينة ذكرتني و بتسلم علي سحبت الباب ماااااااااادري علشان اهي تكمل مشي و انا انحرج بكفخة الباب اللي مالها داعي بالذات اني كنت حيل مشتطه و انا اصك الباب على روحي،، شلون بناديها و اسلم و انا اصلا مو ميانه ،، طاف الموقف ومشيت وصلت لي السكرتيرة علشان اكتشف ان مكتب فلان قبل مكتبها بمكتبين و ان اللي صار لي الموقف العبيط معاها عنده :> قلت خيره بالمره اسلم عليها ،، و لفشلتي اكتشفت اني خربت عليها سؤالها او انه خلص بسرعه و فعلا خذت الجواب ولا انها انحرجت مني و خلت لي المكان على الرغم من اني عرضت اني انطرهم يخلصون موضوعهم ،، ليش ما نطرت برا المكتب لين تخلص مادري ،، كنت حيل قافله اليوم ،، بس ياحليله فلان قالي بالعكس انا ناطرج لانه عندج موعد اهي دشت تاخذ كلمه و راحت ،، مادري استحيت :>

و بعد المشاورات و المحاورات رجعت بخفي حنين تقريبا ،، و اكبر حسنه بالموضوع انه "انت يا فلان" شجعني على اني امشي على الفكره اللي ببالي اللي فيه مقاومه قوية لردعها لانها على زعم احدهم بتفتح علينا بيبان مسكره

A week & a day

8 days,,, is the period I was away from my blog, except for publishing comments, I have been totally away from the blog-o-sphere. The enormous work load will fade away with the beginning of tomorrow, which is the first Sunday in the new work week in Kuwait, with the decree that took effect from the 1st of September, 2007 our Saturday is counted as a day off from now on, instead of having Sat-Wed we will live with Sun-Thurs. Its not the poor English that made me write this way, its my mental distraction. Bare with me.

A commenter that moves around by the nickname "Anonymous Coward" that comments rarely but comments in a very wonderful way, this totally Anonymous person comments in an excellent way. He "as I assume, but he could be a she! never the less I will stick to my assumption & refer to him as a he" comments when he really does have something to say or add, the latest comment I read for him was in K.the.Kuwaiti's blog. He writes true thoughts, he does not comment for the sake of saying he is here nor for making the topic writer happy by his nice comment. This commenter in particular stayed in my mind & since I thought about him & the common ground we see his thoughts in is the blog-o-sphere, I wrote this paragraph to say, I appreciate you and do not like to say the other part of your nickname ,,, so to you Anonymous I say you are noticed & do make a difference with your comments.

Moving down in as the week days pass & I undergo the growing pressure at work that I try to manage, I realize that the work load is killing my ideas, keeping them captivated in my mind and the blue file where I keep all my ideas. I am only requested to finish up my work, with the load that I'm handling there is barely enough time to scratch my head, let aside improve work. Along with the rising pressure, the idea of this work place not being proper arose, in a place where I can not develope any procedure I find my self very lost & alone. A spot of light shed on me when a woman offered a place under her management for me to work in, she will be the last door I will knock in this place, if what I find behind it is not different, I will not waste my time there. The work depression hit me very soon! to cut the story short المحسوبية is the reason behind that.

Then the day that her image broke came "this is a different woman than the 1 I was talking about a few lines up", she was like a mentor to me, with her long experience she gained my respect. To find out that there is more under the table between her & some outsiders, was depressing, I was sad to discover that ugly fact. Although I thought that after all of this time & the many people I met with masks on their faces, I thought that I would be immune to such things, apparently I'm not & never will be.

He is taking things up a notch, he wants war, he will get it,,,,,, A man that thought that I would bend the rules just because he said so!




Meet the jelly fish we made in Waterlemon - Kuwait - Marina Mall. They don't only have these small water filled mattresses they put under the plates, now they also have a table FILLED with colored water for meeeee to play with :D now its not only their CHOCOLATE FONDANT, THE TABLE MATRESS, ITS ALSO THE TAAAAAAAABLES that will keep me going there. I love this place.

Random thoughts

(1)

In a simple event that went on a while ago I saw how much our attitude can make a problem big or small! Through an issue I thought was huge and turned out to be not so big! Exaggeration is a problem breeder.

Virtue ,, EXAGGERATION is bad when it comes to problems! hmm I don't know if its ever good in any way?

(2)

In a try to reply with the same amount of fire that was in the message sent to me, I found my self failing to send the even more fiery reply that I wrote & intended to send simply because I'm not convinced with it, after a conversation with my bro. who is a Leo too, that is as stubborn as I am but with age he is becoming more flexible than I am, I realized that I will take his advice! because replying quietly to that message will smooth things, turn off the fire and still keep me on the track I want to be on. Now with this brother in particular, the closest one to me, we are so close yet so appart, from that I belived that two people with the same characteristics DO NOT get a long well (Opposites Attract is so true, suddenly I hear Paula Abdoul's in the background of my head).



Yes we understand each other WELL, but when it comes to making things we both want to but in our different distinct ways, we get stuck!! you see I know that what he is saying is right OR he knows what I'm saying is right!! Now he knows that I know that its right OR at times I know that he knows that I'm right!! but because he said it OR I said it, we "depending on who gave the advice" have to modify it! although he OR I "again depending on who gave the advice" know that what he OR I say is right! and that we both think the same... but because he OR I said it "the adviser" we will not do it the EXACT way the adviser among us said it because he OR I thought of it too! in that same way...... It's a never ending battle that makes me realize by the day how much I love my brother & need him. Thank you ;p you got me & my car back on track.

and if you read this post up to this line, then you are my hero LOL....

NOTE
*1 am* I just noticed the post time!!
:D I love it

From here & there

Busy week, work mostly, it seems at times that the 8 hours I spend there are not enough! I barely sleep, I hate it when my brain becomes too busy that sleeping turns into a hard task. Hoping that by next week the work load is less or I get used to it :D

السبت عطله وناسه بس هم ببالي الشغل و احس هاليوم اللي بفقده بيأثر على كمية الشغل اللي ممكن اخلصه ،، وصلت الفكره اشكثر انا ببالي الشغل؟؟

It is fascinating how some people take lying to be a profession :D to the extent that they are not afraid to tell you that you are NOT you! A person who is at a high level is actually lowering him self, shattering his image in front of people with his lies! Poor him

تفاجأت بيوم الخميس ان اهلي مسوين لي مفاجأه اللي خربتها عليهم امي لانها بطت الجربه لما قالت لي اييي ترى لازم تشكرين فلانه "بنت خالتي" لانها جابت لج كيك بمناسبة عيد ميلادج!!
بنت خالتي جابت لي كيكتين بنكهتيني المفظلتين (كاكاو - منجا) و الالذ بالموضوع انهم من البرررررررررررررردد!! كيك عايسكريم
و بناء على طلب الاخ اكزومبي و نحاستي مدموجين معاً هذي صورة من قطعتيني من الكيكتين :> و الكيك تشطب عليه بحزتة لا و المشكله ما تذكرت اصور الا بعد ماكليت من الكيكه!،، اي و اخوي عطاني لعبتين "بقرتين" هدايا وحده منهم تقول "موووو" بس بدون نفس لوول

هالسنه غير، ماتعودت على ان احد يحتفل فيني و انا ما القي عيد ميلادي ذاك الاهتمام اصلا ،، و هم من بعد الغزو ماقمت اهتم كللللش بهالشغله ولا اختب و اذا كلش كللللش يمكن و مو اكيد نجتمع على كيكه او عزيمه بس مو هدايا و اغاني و مفاجأه و خبه ،، و حتى ربعي بالدوام اختبوا :> احبهم كلهم

الكيكة البنية بنكهة الكاكاو وجلي عليها عوارض الافتراس من قبلي، بلشت فيها بما اني مدمنة كاكاو

Dinner out is what I plan to do tomorrow, an early one so I can sleep early, I miss sleeping well!
