The Hammering

I reviewed work document that I authored with fellow company men several days ago.

I anticipated cool and collected response but I received quite a hammering with “this is a schoolboy error” comment instead.

Yesterday I reviewed some work done in the past with several clients.

I anticipated some hammering with the kind of unanticipated delay but received kind, cool and collected response instead.

They even worried about how they could compensate me as soon as reasonably possible instead.

It helps me see clearly which circles I should hang out with?

Don’t stay and suffer in a bad relationship.

The One That Got Away

Didn’t get the job that I was hoping I could get.

There’s always a silver lining for it I am sure.

Gutted but at the same time I know it’s what I need.

Rejection is a re-direction.

Lord knows best.

The Great Connection

I spoke on the phone with one of my buddies two (2) companies ago about a certain job that I can help execute somewhere east.

Can’t go into details.

But it falls directly into one of my expertise.

I thought I was completely at lost.

But there’s always a life line helping here and there.

Have faith. Always.

The New 13 Mini

Pretty amazing fellow.

Light weight and fits both hand and pocket.

The battery life is also good enough.

Found a case and screen protector that fits well. Really cheap too.

I’m so happy with the result.

Cool Engineering Stuff

My work is indeed kinda cool.

Solar-powered transmitter.

We don’t exactly employ this on the platform yet but knowing such possibility is indeed awesome.

I am a technology buff. Hope one day I make it to technology management & engineering management.

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he immediately recognized the possibility of reviving the struggling company: great engineers and engineering results around, but lousy engineering management.

Spot on.

Reporting for Duty: Refreshing an Engineering Career

Departed after Subuh. Drove to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) right away and missed the formerly STAR-LRT train by a hair. So I took the next one. It was a fairly smooth ride still. Ran into former colleagues on the way to my new office and exchanged some news. Parted ways in the middle Suria because I was headed for Tower 2 instead. Heheh.

It was still early. I arrived at 68th floor and texted the senior recruitment executive who recruited me. No answer. Must’ve been busy. Three other executives joined me up in reporting for duty. An HR executive welcomed us. She snapped our picture (for company ID and announcement picture purposes) and then showed us around. My new engineering manager saw me and brought me to Aziz, my immediate superior. He introduced me around and ensured I got what I needed to get started.

I got almost everything on the first day, door access, e-mail, new company ID card, everything but the Tower 2 access card. Had a quick lunch with Najib. My neighbors are Amin & Azrin, the electrical engineers. Returned home. Best first day at work ever. Not that I get many first days at work though.

A new journey begins.
