The Need to Write

I was away for project for a few days last week, and while staying in hotel, I wanted to blog, but the network connectivity was problematic.

Here I am, sitting here and blogging again. I don't think I am really super-motivated to blog, but at least I can write something.

Project management is tricky, technology is hard, but comparatively the human factor is much harder to manage and fathom.

A lot of times, a decision is not made on technology ground, but more on political, or business considerations. How to balance all these different forces, while maintaining my basic conscience on technology, is a challenge to me.

Sleepless

These nites I couldn't sleep well, many thoughts race in my mind.

My work life is getting busier, but I will leave those issues on other posts.

Just tired, and some heartache in late nite...

Project Management

Recently I am more involved in project management. Unlike last time in my previous jobs where I only managed (and allowed) to talk to sales and marketing people, this time I am talking to real customers, and other collaborating partners.

It is an eye-opener because now things no longer clear-cut as in science or technology. Here, human is the overwhelming factor, and how to anticipate and deal with fellow human beings is easier said than done.

Sometimes I am quite exhausted in endless meetings to talk about some very trivial stuff. I will give myself some more time to decide if this is what I wanna do.

Blog, blog, and more blog

I have not blogged for sometime due to heavy work load. I am involved in another project which involves multi-sites. As usual, it gets messy and a turf fight is imminent. Tired...
