The past week gave me new revelations about myself. Its either I think too much about work or I didn't give enough thought to my work. Doing stage production for the event over the weekend was a total new experience for me. I didn't know what to expect and so fumbled but I came out learning a lot when doing stage related tasks. For things that went wrong, I kept wondering whether it was my fault for not asking questions and or I was not sufficiently briefed to know what to do.
I think my colleagues were probably not happy with me as well. That I was inefficient and disorganised. What I can say was that there were too many things to do and too little time. In the process to cover all the tasks, I did the minimum required and so was not that organised. I feel that I could do better. Sometimes, I prefer to do everything myself but now I realised (maybe?) that I can't handle everything myself. However, there are always situations when it is better take matters into your own hands.
I also felt bad that I was bad-tempered. Stress and fatigue can really strain the work relationship with your colleagues. Spending my birthday at the event was not exactly an ideal situation but I was glad they made a card for me (they used the wakeboarding pictures as the cover!). Received an sms that mel & gang thought I was attending practice and bought me a cake on friday. Felt bad and touched as well. More touched to receive their messages. Suz and yh called me for drinks on sat after I finished work and seeing and talking to them made me felt better although I was so exhuasted that I did not have enough strength to talk. The event ended on a more light hearted note. They surprised me and v with a birthday cake. Invited the temp staff over for the cake as well. The entire group have been a great help, although they can be better managed. They added a few funny moments while working in this project. I hope things will be better in the office now that the event is over.
