118 Days To Go
Saturday, April 4, 2009
Three weeks had swiftly passed since I last posted in my blog. Nothing much has been happening except the usual chores of making it to the completion date of our project.
Since the day we started counting down the days to completion, everyday seems to be more and more tensed than the previous days. So tensed that everyone seems to be easily irritated that sometime escalates to shouting. Everyday you will find more arguments than agreements, more deficiencies than accuracies and miscalculations than perfections.
All the staffs are so work up that sometimes works against our common goal, to finish on time.
I had my fair share of bickering and shouting against my colleagues. Since the 139th day, I had raised my voice twice to TH, once to LM, twice to MI, once to BG and once to KLK. Not that I am hot tempered, I raised my voice in retaliation to a raised voice. Sometimes it is just misunderstandings, or just the heat of the moment due to work pressures. Some are also personal, when someone gets personal of course.
Fortunately though, most of these incidences are legitimately “work related”. I mean you argue to resolve an issue, no personal grudge attached. And tomorrow you will be discussing another issue. Of course with a fresh smile on your face and a fully charged larynx for another shouting spree.
By the way, my teams share in achieving a step closer to completion is that our target to deliver our IFC BOQ’s by end of March was achieved and take note, we did not slip this time. Thanks to the team and to IV who, as always, is readily available to resolve issues pending our deliverables.
I have not set new targets for my team for this current month. I am now very disorganized due to my involvement with the tendering team. I definitely need to set up our new targets before the week ends.
As the day gets closer and closer, the more had been convinced that we are not able to make it. Contrary to what we intends to make everyone believes, we are yet to see a beacon of light to inspire everyone to work hard for our common goal.
As for me, I still believe that we are able to make it. It is just a matter of turning one big boulder off the snow covered mountain and it will snowball just before it will reach the foot of the mountain. It doesn’t matter if it is 118 days or 18 days to go.
