Blind to the Good. Alert to the Bad

Blind to the good.. Seems like a common ailment of most superiors or bosses. They tend to be ignorant of the good that their subordinates have done and lack in giving credit or recognition to the people that have worked their asses off.

Alert to the bad.. Again, a common phenomenon in bosses and superiors. They keep silent when you work hard and do all the right things. But the very moment you deviate from the norm or do something that is 'not allowed', they will 'politely' highlight to you that they are not happy.

An example:

A subordinate joins in the weekly run which is held every Wednesday, without fail. The only time he/she doesn't go is when that person is on leave, on course or on off.

Today, the subordinate feels uncomfortable and has a severe headache that doesn't subside despite popping a Panadol and chooses to walk instead of run. The boss sees and immediately passes a remark that the person should be running due to the title of his/her job. When the subordinate replies that no matter what the title is, the person is having a headache and the boss says,"Alamak, how can like that..."

I put myself into the person's shoes and feel the pain and anger. Pain from the headache and anger from being subtly told off... So is the person not supposed to be sick and be strong like a robot at all times? Or is it people simply don't care that he/she falls sick? Sucks eh?

Am i like the common boss out there that also is blind to the good and alert to the bad?

Moving again....

Migration.... again....

Before I can fully acquaint myself with the environment, people and systems, I am informed of the coming migration again....

A replacement comes. Out I go.

It wasn't a last minute proposal, they were aware of the changes all along. They were in control of the implementation date.

So why is it they still arrange for a person to enter only to take over others and be a substitute and to cover the empty hole till the appropriate person is found? You cover the duties but they have a really difficult time giving you credit for it. I guess this is the way the system works eh..

I feel "REALLY" comforted by the LARGE amount of effort and foresight put into planning.

What else to do? Suck thumb and carry on...

Not some big shot? Nobody to speak up for you? No one to back you up? Then just quietly accept and do the job and pray that time passes very quickly...

Preparations...

Preparations are beginning to get on my nerves... It is starting to cause friction due to differences in ideas and opinions.

Why do I think that he is not really as interested or involved as I am? Is it just my perception?

I never knew choosing a suitable piece of clothing could be so tiring and frustrating..

Underwater... Cool... But now i am faced with the difficulty of having to settle my own hair, face and outfit for that shoot and the biggest problem of all.... I can't open my eyes underwater.... Is this idea already on the road to failure?

Although i asked myself and him and probably a few of you places that are good for photos, we are still clueless as to what to do and where to go. Special props that are meaningful to us?

Why do the dresses that are not accessible to me always look more desirable?

Maybe i should have started my research for everything a yr ago.. Now i am faced with numerous 'What ifs?'......
