Pressure / frustration

12th Aug 08 - a day just things not in the right place.

I am suppose to learn from another colleague who is leaving the bank soon. But the start is already a nightmare.
An email from our London office checking on an outstanding issue. It was put that I am the one delaying.

Then another email came in regarding another issue. Indirectly I was being blamed again. So I had to delay my learning to the evening after dinner.

But as the chinese saying, it comes once, twice and the third wil be there. It just being proven after dinner. A third email questioning over some actions taken a month ago. After some explanations, the issue rolled into a snowball. Worst off, a phone call from London office. I am faced with a few peers over the other line 'attacking' me.

That's it. I doubt can take it further. Thanks to my seat right at the end of the row, I broke down with not much notice from the colleagues.

Thanks to my team manager trying to help me in resolving the issue. But it had not ended yet. Today need to go to office early and get the info for London.

Hope today will be a better day. Actually if my mum is still alive, today will be her 69th birthday. So I believed she will bless me.

Love u mum!
