Of work and .... just work

I'm not sure what went wrong.

I am entering my 3rd year in the working force and yet it seems like I've yet to make any tremendous progress at all. I'm not saying that I don't know how to do my work. I DO know how to do my work. Most of the technical aspects of it that is within the scope of my company anyway.

However, it seems there is something wrong with the indication that I gave. I mean I gave indications to many banks and yet only a little of them came back to me. That is one way for me to increase my case loads and ultimately increase my commissions. The other way is, well get connected with bank officers (Read: networking) and get cases from the directly.

As I mention before, I sucks at my networking skills but I am trying to improve it. First step? Treat the officers that I know. Make connections. Relationships if the officer is cute/ hunky/ hot. Second step? Err... Still working on that :)

My concern is when just little of my indications came back to me. It could point out a whole lot of things. Like maybe my indications is too low. I can't really help it. I need to check with the current conditions and my company seems to be conservative enough. I've seen my fair share of bold companies giving high, and sometimes absurd indications. Or maybe as previous statement, competing companies gave a much higher indications and mind you, banks do love high indications. Or maybe it was due to the regulations that was imposed on banks early last year. But there are signs that shows we are recovering from that crisis as what had been told to me by my senior colleague. which is interesting really because my senior colleagues seems to have much more case loads than I am. Hmmm...

I am perplexed. I want to rectify this but I need to know what went wrong. I mean what's the reason that my indications did not came back to me. Hmm... A SWOT evaluation is in order perhaps?

Tailored work pants

So, yesterday I broke another of my virginity. Not the sexual ones unfortunately. I went to get some tailored pants for work. It has been like what 2 years since I changed my work wardrobe? So I thought I'd update it with a bang. It costs quite a bomb and yet it was just a simple cloths that I chose. Maybe next time when I have more budget (Read: Order just one instead of four) I'd choose a much nicer design. Although I have to admit, there's not much design in men's cloth. I mean there's only like solid colour, pin stripe, checkered and did I miss anything else? There's like one cloth that I really like but I thought it's a bit too shiny for work. It's not that shiny but I'm not sure whether it would be appropriate for work. Though I have a history of wearing a pair of shirts for work that seems to be better suited for casual  (and a friend of mine did tegur me for wearing it. She said she did not believe that I wore it for work) but I'm not sure whether the logic will be the same for a bit shiny pants.

So, this is sort of like the nearest example I could on the shiny cloth. Can I choose this cloth for my work pants?

Ruler of A Nation

I rule a nation .... PROCRASTINATION!!!

I have something that is due on July 12th. It was supposed to be done daily for the last 12 months.

But me being me, I put it off until now :(

Now only I went nervous and wonder whether I can finish it by the dateline.

It stresses me out .... but I deserved it anyway.

I always put things off till the last minute saying "OMG! This is going to be hard to do!"

When I actually do it in the last minute, I always came to realisation that "Hey, this isn't so hard. Why the hell did I put it off till the last minute?"

*sigh*

Grow up are-5th .... Just grow up ......


P.S. I'm already on week 14 in my thing. Left 52 - 14 = 38 weeks to go. Not so bad. Think I can finish it up by this weekend =)

Raining Man to Happy Boy

Yippee!!

Ok. The day started gloomy. And rainy. The weather will always, always affect the Monday blues in me. If it's sunny, I'll be cheerful. If it's gloomy and rainy, I secretly hope that I can get fake MC so that I can sleep in =p But when you live under the same roof as your boss, that's not really an option *sigh*

Arrived to the office to find that internet still down, and only one, just ONE computer can connect to the internet, which sparks my curiosity. Apparently, it's the ONLY computer in the office that connects to the router through cable instead of wireless! Now, I'm not exactly a tech person, but when internet at your place always crashes, you'd know a thing about troubleshooting it.

Long story short, a check with TM and a little tweaking on my own, and walla! Internet is back on! And my two faced colleague suddenly is nice to me today =) I'd say for today, I'm happy. Working in a hostile environment, is really not good for your performance.

Now, back to work...... =))
