A Challenge For Myself...

Hi to everyone...

For those tat read my recent blog... Should more or less guess wat i'm going to do... I'm going to take up the challenge of tat "Nightmare Graphics Manager" post... And of coz, there is still some time away be4 tis can happen... Coz i still need to find replacement for myself for the night shift slot...

There is tis frenz of mine... He's one of my poly mates, n we used to hang out together during poly days... However, after graduation, i dun tink i hve meet up wif him liao... Quite sad we these poly mates, failing to organise any gatherings etc to meet up each other for chit chat... Or isit i'm always not inform or skip away such occasions... Tis frenz, from wat i noe, is a rather cheerful person in poly... However, no matter how naive a person can be, once he step out into the working industry, everything can change veri easily... I tink, i tink he works in a designing company or something, or at least graphics related field company... Yes! Here i can promise to everyone, working in a graphics designing company or agency, can be one of the toughest job u can imagine to take... Not onli the pay is normal onli, u r constantly facing great stress n pressure in meeting deadlines... When things r finally done, submitted, we will still face the danger of hving ur masterpiece thrown back to us n say redo everything, yet the deadline resume the same... Tis kind of stress n frustration can sometimes makes plp feel so boil in their inner heart... Not to say, promotion or pay incredment can hardly be seen as well... I can't imagine why 8 years ago, i will choose my MM course... Quite stupid lah... Should choose the chemical Eng course...

Anyway... Recently i saw tis info in his blog, saying...
"If you give up, you will probably be numb and some things doesnt matter anymore. When you give up, things seem so much more simplier and less complicated. When you give up, you can direct your focus and passion on other things. When I give up, it's so much better.

They said, when you want something, you gotta fight for it. But who wants to fight a losing battle? And after much battle spent, we are all better off going home to sleep and forget everything that was once worth all that efforts."

Somehow or rather, tis frenz of mine muz be keep on losing many battles already, until he is so tired of it... It is not the first time i seen him voicing out loud in his blog to venge anger... Likewise, i will do tat sometimes at my blog too... Abt two years ago, i wrote alot of crazy scoldings in my blog, on how much i hate my job... It kinda of crazy stress, which i wonder one can endure... Plp tell mi to endure, i advise plp to endure... But how many plp actually understand it takes even greater endurance in urself to uphold ur word of endure... We r all adults already... We r no longer child or kids liao... We muz build n uphold ur word of being a responsible person... Esp i'm a man... I can't expect myself to throw in the white flag whenever i encounter an obstacle... If whenever i hit onto the wall, find it too stressful, n choose to escape, my life is simply juz a failure... I can accept setbacks, but i dun allow myself to collapse or fleed away...

Two years ago, actually there is one time i hve great desire in leaving my current company, but i hve greater pride in myself to prove to plp n my family tat i'm not a spoilt child... Regardless of wat kind of unfair treatment i encounter here, i juz swallow hard here... Becoz i believe justice prevail... If there is plp tat is always standing at the criminal zone, i believe one day they will be arrested... And my hardwork will get noticed...

Tis is how i manage to survive until now in my current company... I'm not trying to be a bragger, telling plp to look at mi, saying success will reach u if u endure... But at least, dun lose the battle within urself... Set a target for urself n aim towards it...

Back to the first paragraph info... Although taking the post of Graphics Manager seems like a lose-lose situation to mi... But i not gong to surrender wifout a try... I will lay down my own guidelines of management, n imply tat into the department... There r too many things tat i compile out, which r bad conduct/actions from my previously manager... One example is tat, he can hire in a new guy into the department, wifout conducting an in-depth interviewing wif him... As a result, tis person turn out to be veri incapable, n he become veri regretful... Likewise, i told myself i wun make such mistakes... Yes, i desire someone to take over mi, but i'm not so desperate to take in any types of plp wan...

Last saturday, i conduct an interview wif a person, a malaysian... My whole interview lasted 3++ hours... Basically i prepare one whole list of questions to ask be4 hand, and ask him during the interview... I conduct a simple investigation be4hand on him to noe him better, so during the interview... So whether he is giving mi the accurate answer, or speak lies in front of mi, i will noe it straight away... Since tis person is interviewed by mi, i had the responsibility to ensure he noe graphics designing, and not some A-mao or A-Gou from dunno where... Questions i ask, is like his previous working scoope (Not limited to the last job onli), his reason of leaving his previous company(ies), reason why he choose to work in a different field from wat he learn etc... I muz say i am a veri careful person... I blah alot on stressfulness, commitment, conduct, attitude, and run a trial test in him to test his software skills...

Somehow, i muz admit i may be a little too strict in my interview... But i juz wan to play safe guard... Taking in a lousy person can kana curse n swell by many plp in my company wan...

Previously, i tell my frenz, tentatively i will swap to day shift at ard November... Next i tell plp i may onli swap to day shift at 2007... Now i tink i may onli swap to day shift after CNY... Thou, i did find someone now to replace mi liao, i still dun hve the confident in myself to able to train him fully equipped wif basic knowledge within one month... Simply so many things to teach him...
