The DON’T make sense Admin Policy

Admin Policy – Directors and below can only travel by Economy.

Conversation with admin manager:
Me : I have a senior manager travelling to Hyderabad. As the plane is full for her return leg, I’ve booked her on on business. Just that leg and i have also waitlisted on econ. If it gets through, she’ll fly back on economy. The 2nd partner (the head of Assurance) has left for the day. Therefore no 2nd approval. My boss has approved, please let the agent know that we can proceed to issue the ticket.

Admin Manager : Oh no the policy is even tighter. I dun dare to say ok to this. We must wait for the 2nd approval to be around in order to approve it.

Me : but flight is very full and she needs to be there. If i allow it to auto cancel then i may not get her a seat again for both ways. The job needs her there.

Admin Manager : is the policy.

Me : -_- … nvm. bye

(hello… u think head of assurance got nothing to do other than approving your TR? this is a small matter.)

Conversation with boss at 6pm

Me : Boss can i send an email to the 2nd approval to ask for an approval? Admin says is a must cause senior manager cannot travel on business. BUT it is a small matter and he is home. I dun wanna trouble him over such a small matter. BUT ticket has to be issue otherwise she can’t get there on the already agreed date.

Boss : hmmm…. why dun u tell the agent to issue as personal and charge to my credit card. I can always claim it back. If agent ask why then say cause i ‘really’ want her to have a holiday in india. so i am sending her there. We settle it on Monday. This is ridiculous. How can we send someone there and just because there is no economy seat available she cannot come back? It doesn’t make sense.

My boss is cool….

I think, head of admin needs some intelligent to write policy and admin manager needs to use her brain more. If i have followed their requirement and confirm her on the next available economy flight, the manager has to be there for more than 1 week instead of 2 days. In the end, hotel charges, daily expenses, time lost and per diem incurred would be alot more than upgrading her to one way business. Admin manager follows the policy blindly and didn’t think of the potential lost company may suffer.

Personality – The real me

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They’ll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don’t judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren’t necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people’s eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren’t interested in wasting time with people you don’t really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don’t focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

===============================================================================

Another test:

(now you know how free I am)

1. You’ve got great self-confidence and you’re full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you.
2. You really care about other people’s feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.
3. You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people’s eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm.
4. Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right?
5. Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

=================================================================================

Ok the last one.. this is so true hahaha

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that’s why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don’t just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person’s personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn’t meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.

My Greatest Fear

What is your True Fear? Your Result: Commitment   Even though it may not always seem like it, deep down you are afraid of being committed to anything serious. You love the feeling of being carefree and not having anything tying you down. You’re afraid that someone or something that may tie you down in life, will keep you from reaching other goals. You may also be afraid of getting hurt. You need to open yourself up more to possibilities and realize that sometimes it’s good to be committed to something that you really care about. Just because you’re an independent, free-spirited person doesn’t mean that being committed to anything is going to change who you are.

How true… I feared commitment. I dun want to be tied down or being unable to do what I want just because I am committed to someone or something…

Something that I always hoped for….

2008 is ending and 2009 is just round the corner. Strangely, this Christmas, I was sad than happy. Can’t find the enthusiasm to go out and celebrate. Guess it is because I did nothing for 2008. Life is comfortable and all I have to do is survived. Somehow surviving is just not enough yet I cannot find any strength to do something for myself. Maybe I am not hungry enough to do something and get what I want.

But there is one thing that I really hoped I can do it by 28yrs old.

I want to study aboard. Even if ’s only a short course, I would be happy! Whenever friends shared stories of their school life in another country, I would be green with envy. Something that I want but can never have. Recently did some research and realise that I can actually go for short language courses in other countries. So i research on Japan language course. (why japan?! because being a japanese/english translator gets good pay. Moreover I always liked Japan) They do have 3 months language course. Yeah!!!! But it is Japan!!! Living standard is high. Just the course and accommodation, it is about SD7000. So I need quite alot to substain myself when I am there and when I am back cause I would need to quit my job to go. It takes time to find a job when I am back.

As Singaporean can stay up to 90days in Japan without visa so a 3 months course is good. Too bad we do not have working holiday visa scheme with Japan otherwise, I will go for a 6months course and work there.

I hope I can keep this 21yrs old look even when I am 28. So I don’t look too old to be a student. Hee…. If I can do part time there; I will want to work as a waitress… Hahah

Imagination

Was inspired by the movie “Secret”. It talks about your mind/thinking. The power that unleashed when you think of positive things and probability of good things to happen when you train your mind to think positive. In the movie, there was a story of a man who did a tag board with the pictures of the house you wish to own, the yatch that you will buy and etc; constantly looking and imagining it , eventually it became a reality in his life.

How this movie inspired me?

I always hoped to have good working relationship with my bosses and colleagues. Doing work with excellence and be able to be someone who can impact people. I want to be a dependable person. But because of my temperament and the obsession of changing my mind as soon as I decides; (I admit I am flippant) it becomes difficult for people to think that I am dependable. So I want a change and start to imagine how it is like to have a good working relationships with bosses and colleagues. People to find favour with me. I picture myself being and excellence worker, effective, stable, resourceful and smart. As I start imagining, slowly, I become who I imagined myself to be. Slowly but surely the change is taking place.

I am glad that I have a breakthrough in my thought life. Cause I no longer feel defeated and unhappy. Positive things are happening around me. I am glad…… =)

Ermmm she is weird

I was coordinating a last minute internal meeting for my boss and 2 other bosses (1 male and 1 female boss). So i called their secretary. Let’s call her JW. It just happened that those 2 bosses shared the same secretary. It was urgent so i wanted an answer quickly. JW decides that she is not gonna be helpful and she said: “then u call her yourself lo” my reply: “alright, what time her meeting ends” so she gave me the time grudgingly. After we hang up for 2 mins, she called again and say, her lady is in bad mood and she do not want to talk to her and ask me to call myself.  so i agreed.. But before the time is up, JW chicken out and decides to advise me her lady boss’ decision. She must be feeling real pissed cause she wanted to scare me with “call my boss yourself” but i agreed to it. Well, if boss in bad mood, things still got to be done.

at 4.35pm - JW thought she got a chance to get back at me so that she can balance out her anger for not backing off at her threat. But it was a wrong move. She forgot that there was a conference call with a overseas partner at 4.30pm to 5.30pm with her male boss and few other bosses (including my boss) then followed by the meeting i arranged. Therefore when receptionist reminded JW to ask her male boss to pop by quickly cause the rest are waiting. She decided to send a nasty email to me and CC all the 3 bosses and receptionist questioning me about the change but the matter of fact is, it is a totally different meeting. The one i was arranging was a brainstorming discussion at 5.30pm.

Her email at 4.35pm goes like this:

“Why is the conference call change to 4.30pm.”

(I think either her boss or the receptionist told her is the different thing)

Her email at 4.37pm when she realise she got confused:

“Sorry, I made a mistake, this is another meeting. Please ignore the previous msg”

And she got to reply to me and CC whoever she had CC in the previous email.

In the end she embarrassed herself. She gotta admit that it a mistake from her side and got even more fustrated cause she cannot get me into trouble.

Haizzz she must be too free at work that is why stir trouble but in the end embarrassed herself. Anyway she amuses me … Check before bitting la.. save alot of embarrassement ya…

I think i really got better things to do than to fight office politics with her.
