I hate November 2007

Last day of November 2007, I really hope this day can pass as soon as possible. Though today is my dad birthday, I shouldn't say so, I just so happen to really hate this month. First of all, I was glad that I can do some gym, and looking forward to have a chance to keep fit. Unfortunately, it is actually where my nightmare haunted me again. It is really like the Freddie in Nightmare of Elm Street, no matter how many times he vanished, as long as the box office is good, he will be back.

I hurt my injured back again, and at the same time, I was having fever. So, I was like lying on the bed and suffer pain from head to toe, it was really torture. Had 2 really unpleasant nights, can't sleep, can't move and unstoppable unbearable pain. Finally, I can't take it anymore, I asked my dad to send me to emergency ward in University Hospital for injection to stop the pain. I thought everything will starts getting better, who knows, the pill I took for my throat infection was too strong. The same night, I was suffered from gastric, and vomitted.

Nevertheless, I am busy with so many works on hand like I mentioned in my last two posts, and I am still stuck with these projects, and I cannot predict when can I get over with them. Furthemore, while I am rushing with projects, and meetings, sad to say, I am having running nose again. One hand holding the tissue role, where another hand typing the project execution plan.

I am so hate november 2007.

Sashimi

This week is another horrible week for me. It is still about my projects. Someone has desribed my so called "multi-tasking" as Octopus, which I am quite agreed. However, pity me, this octopus is no longer alive, it has become sashimi.

After submission of documentation, customer has commented some of the information I provided is not accurate. I believe this is a common practise whereby customer reviewed the info, and we re-submit for review. However, this particular customer turn it into a big issue, he complaint to my boss, and question if I am capable to handle the project. This is really frustrating, I have been working in this field for 8 years plus, and this is the "1st time"(that I aware of) customer has doubt in me.

Nevertheless, another project that I am handling also puzzled me. It is running smooth, until recently, I just realize the whole concept of the system is not proper, yet the testing with customer is on this week. (Actually is NOW, however I still got time to write blog, :P) I have not yet address the issue to customer, I really like to see the customer impression when I inform him about this.

So, friends, if I call you out for karaoke, or movie, please join in, because your friend-me got to find ways to release stress.

Mutlitasking

Two huge projects have been handovered to me, and these projects require a lot of documentation to submit for approval. Morning, I might be writing technical proposal for project A,noon I am checking customer specification for project B, evening I am on the phone with vendor to ensure they have quoted me the proper items that I need. Nevertheless, there are still phone call to answer, technical issue to solve for the junior engineers, and meeting to attend. Everything needs immediate action, however, I really don't know if I have given enough attention to all. All I know is I am in rush, most paperwork that I prepared, solution that I provide, I didn't even have time to reconfirm, save and send, try and see is the only option I have.

Someone told me, multitasking means one handles different tasks and all task are in good hand. In my case, which word is best to describe my situation? Any suggestion?
