Lost but with a Path

Lost

I honestly don’t know what to blog about today, but I promised to myself I would do my best to post each day about something. So, I’m sitting here wondering, what’s good to post? My life in general is very repetitive and it takes effort to see the detail of difference in it but whatever, here goes.

Today I woke up late to the rings of the phone with my brother on the line requesting urgent work to  be done. I woke up an hour late of when I should be up… Shitake.

Frustration

Fixed a task I couldn’t do optimally, so I had to do the dirty job of pasting a code to a number of files, ugh. I felt like I went 2 years back of my development knowledge. It’s really frustrating to study a year (or more) old system and fail in trying to make it work. This is especially more frustrating since there are so many products already openly available that does the job faster and easier by an exponential improvement. After that I had the honor of messaging a collaborator of Sean’s about her website fixes. As expected, I received no reply till now. Oh joy.

…And other nitty gritty technical tasks which I find too boring to elaborate.

Communication

Today, a meeting was summoned to discuss a concern regarding inside matters about the company’s environment status and its team. Issues were raised, concerns were clarified and conclusions were made.

One thing we realized in the end of it all is that communication has always been in a low with regards to the team and the management. I’m not sure if I’m lacking socialization or relationship development towards my peers but it is very evident I am out of the circle of know in what’s happening even though I am always at present at the office. Its hard to actually ask what I don’t know of and there seems to be a barrier between their concerns and opening up to me — and I’m quite sure its not the door to my room.

It is evident that quick and clear communication was necessary and the solution to most of our problems.

I’m really hoping as we left the room with action plans, that things improve for the better as these conflicts strain us from being too comfortable with how we did things and how it got prolonged. Things could’ve been solved earlier, but it got blown to bigger proportions with a higher casualty.

Change is inevitable, and changing for the better is an active response.
