It is just too convenient to say I don't know

Just got a question from a colleague. 

Ask: "Is it possible to email this report in pdf rather than excel?"

Answer: "Yes, please refer attached document, page xxx  and also make sure you change the output file type to .PDF.  Also, press F1 for Help when you login to the program, there is also step by step guidance".

Email was just forwarded to the client without testing.

Ask: "Sorry, not working.  Does it work on yours?"

Answer: "When you are in the report section, look at the output type, what is showing there?"

Ask: "Yes, the output type is showing .xls, is it possible or not? Sorry, I don't know the product"

Answer: "Follow the steps in the document, change the output type to PDF.  I am sure if you try it once, you will know next time".

Gee.... is it just me?  DON'T KNOW is NOT the ANSWER.

If you don't know, at least show some initiative to learn something... I am just asking her to look at a 1 page guide and make 1 change in the output type..... unbelievably ridiculous.

Did I ask her to build a rocket or something? 

Bloody Ridiculous.

There are thievs for everything.....

It was rubbish collection day a couple of days ago  ... I left my bin by the roadside for the day and expected to see an empty bin after work.

Ooi.......  Lef to Right... Right to Left... Left to Right again... where on earth is it?????

My bin has gone missing...

May be someone took it by mistake.... after all, I live in a building with 24 units..

I checked the parking lots where the rubbish bins were, no sign of it...

I then called the council the next day and asked what to do...
Interesting enough, it is common that bin got stolen...for whatever reason.
Well, for all I know, there are thieves for money, jewellery, any valuable stuffs...  But... rubbish bin...!!!

Thanks to the GENIUS, now I have to request for a replacement of RUBBISH BIN which I never expect to be stolen.

Bloody Ridiculous........ 

Does Our Body know the exact time?

One sunny day, I was relaxing myself on my coach and then a question pops up.  Does my body know what time it is?  How does it know it is 10am now?

If the best time to go to bed is 10pm at night, how does it know it is 10pm?

What happen to those that work at night?  Are they never going to sleep in the best time?

Interesting read from the following articles.

The Time Of Our Lives

Listen to Your Body Clock

Did You Know: Eating After 7PM

From what I gather, it does not know the exact time.  We have a body clock that organise our day and night and it works with a 24-hour schedule.  It resets the cycle when expose to sunlight.

The suggestion of the best sleeping time is 10pm, is probably work with some research/study that the average meal time is 7pm and 3 hours after meal will be a good time.

When I am dealing with a Smart Ass

My project manager and I have been having meetings with Client A who needs some reports work done for their financial systems.

As their transactional data is not captured in the way that is best for reporting, we have meetings for requirements gathering, brain storming and trying to provide solutions for their data and reporting. 

I just have all these in my mind while listening to her and I hope I never need to deal with her again and ever....  Unfortunately, life is not so ideal...

"My god.... what a smartass, can you just stop and listen before answering?"

"Could you just let me finish...?"

"Come on... Let's keep an open mind and assess which options will suit..."

"Do you know the meaning of communication....google it, mate.. There is listening and talking both ways not just you talking..."

"If paper can talk, why would we need you in the meeting?  Stop saying you want to change way of working.. but not listening.. don't want to commit to go through your current process... We are here to help...only if you allow us."

"Mate...  if you just want to listen to yourself... not interested in any ideas... may be you should just do it yourself..."

"Give me a remote control that I can just mute her..Geeeeeee"

"Well, if you don't even want to lift a finger, then you need to be ready to pay, you know....Smartass"

"What... what... No...................  I have to see you next week..."

"Oh No...................  I have to put up with all these crap again..."


God... let me win the Lotto and I don't need to deal with this again..

Did anyone say be professional...... ya right... God Help Me...
