hardwork vs smartwork
remembered wat a friend used to tell me, "be hardworking, ur supervisor will b impressed."
nowadays everybody's singing a diff tune.
friends frm diff organisations started telling me to work smart, meaning of cos, tat u gt learn faster so u can finish ur work double the speed. makes sense, till ur supervisor started to see ur potential and load more work on ya. then ya got more stuff to juggle on ya already full balancing act. not long later, ya discover ya became a clown. :
so, if u work ot, tat means ya cant finish ya work. tat means ya started to lag. in another word, ya performance started to decrease. ppl look at u and they see a hardworking person. irony irony..
more irony is when the boss who tells u to start finding a life while loading more stuff on ya table as he gives off his wonderful preach about balance, life and working smart. not my boss thank goodness. my boss simply walks to me plc and say "hmm, wat else can i give u after tis? hmm.." thus i try not to finish the current project too fast, new stuff means more projects per person. my mind's too little to go out venture into the unknown. let me be! argh..
anyway, another tat comes w more work loads is, a person started to become more ironic. then the jagged little pill's lyrics started to make sense. then one starts to see things in a realist way, means no more supper late at nite and no hankie pankie goin on, cos work is the only lover u can afford right now. heard my coll sighed. i sat here typing as life passed me by, felt a bit nauseatic for the past weeks. hmm..interesting. guess it's the after effect from looking at the laptop 8 hrs straight.
a revelation appeared to me during tis nauseatic moment; i can guess the reason y ppl go clubbing, drink, smoke and some who cant take the pressure any more, procrastinate. i take a break when i'm at my limit. then come back to fight w a better spirit. sometimes it works, other times i delegate, on rare occassion i renegade. nowadays i discover i just need more sleep.
too much to think bout, mostly dreams of codings and more efficient methods of programming. sometimes it eludes me and nightmares come along in the form of my supervisor dressing up as billy wonka, and i'm in the coding factory. other times i just sit there and blur and drool over keanu. many times i wish i can just clone meself to cover more areas, but then mayb not. imagine another me..i'll just dig meself 9 feet under.
i guess to hav to choose between hard work and smart work, i'd indefinately pick up smart work. cos then i can figure out the short cuts and hardcode my progs and dun think too deeply into the next few steps ahead of users or the years the system's gonna b used by clients. not mentioning those sleep..*droolin..but then, many ppl would call me up and bug me. thus noooOOooo..must be a bit boring and do things according to protocol, aka boring but right. hehe..>:) i love my work..*sigh.
tis year, my new year reso is to hav more frequent communication w my family. most of the time my mum calls to check up on me, i thought i was doin her a favor by trusting her and not checking up on her whereabouts. but must learn to hav benefit of the doubt. parents do silly stuff tat one might not think of; thus ask, dun presume. ask so much till they shut u up. then peace for a few days. then continue the whole episode all over again.
and me sis starting to spend some quality time w me. twas nice. been missing it for pretty some time. family bonding; all those when-u-say-nothing-at-all period, cold wars, nags and screams do hav their moments. each of them dear to my heart. *sigh..family bonding does work wonders. but cant say much to me workload though.
anyway, just writing smtg silly so i can direct my friends who keep on saying "i'm bored, entertain me" or "buzz buzz" or "i'm sleepy". hope u are entertained enough to sleep thru the time u read my blog.
