"trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother-fucker's reflection."

Six billion smaller worlds on the bigger one.
Shoe salesmen and short-order cooks who look boring from the outside
- some have weirder lives than you.
Six billion stories, every one an epic,
full of tragedy and triumph,
good and evil,
despair and hope.
You and me - we aren’t so special, bro.
you can say something
you can enrich your mind

12 Things We'd Tell Our Bosses if We CouldAs employees, we are told to be diligent, to follow through, to be "self-starters," to have a good attitude, to be flexible and patient and dependable and loyal and respectful. We're told there is no "I" in "team." We're told, "You should just be grateful you have a job." But surely bosses have obligations to us just as we do to them. And surely one of the biggest of those obligations is to seek out their employees' point of view.
Of course, not all employees feel free to say what they're actually thinking. You know who you are! That's why in today's column, the employees of the world get to speak up. What would you say to your boss if you could say absolutely anything at all? This is your chance, people.
Here are a dozen to get you warmed up:
1. "Give me the tools I need to do a good job." If you're unsure, ask me. But, basically, time, materials, information, maybe even a little authority--these are what I need to succeed.
2. "Admit it when you make a mistake." It shows you're not afraid and is the best way to earn my respect. Whatever you do, don't act as if you never make mistakes. That's just ridiculous.
3. "Don't treat me like a cog on a wheel." I'm an individual. If I screw up, tell me. If someone else in my group screws up, tell him. Don't blame the whole team.
4. "Ask for my opinion from time to time." I might be able to offer some good ideas if you listened to me even half as much as you expect me to listen to you.
5. "I truly need frequent feedback." Please don't wait till the year-end performance review. I can do a better job for you if you let me know what I'm doing wrong, and what I'm doing right, on a regular basis.
6. "Don't leave me hanging out to dry." When things go south I need you to be a leader and back me up. If you are not loyal to me, it is impossible for me to be loyal to you.
7. "I can't hear you when you shout." Maybe someone once told you intimidation is a good management tool. But seriously, yelling at employees just makes you look weak and ineffectual.
8. "Don't make me work with idiots." I realize it's not easy but if there's a problem person in the group it's your job to resolve the situation. Don't let it drag on and on. It poisons the whole workplace.
9. "Have a clear agenda." If you don't know what you want, how do you expect me to? I need you to understand your own goals, and communicate them to me clearly.
10. "Don't lie about deadlines." There is no better way to lose the trust of your people than to set "fake" deadlines. Trust me enough to be honest with me and I'll do a good job for you.
11. "Be predictable." If you behave erratically I will spend more time and energy worrying about what you're going to do next than working.
12. "Mentor me." Ask me my goals. Give me projects that help me develop and grow. I will do a fabulous job for you if you take an interest in me and my career. And that's a win-win.

nothing like a man to tell you his cock size to start off this entry, doesn't it. so smug, confident and sexy, reminds me of a certain someone.
maybe because i'm getting old(er) or my social life is taking a seat back and the sense of nostalgia is pretty strong, i came to realization that i have truly grown up from where i started work. the way i see things, not so rosy after all, are different. the wholesome enthusiasm i used to have, has grown lesser. some friends, i realized after a series of events, are not worth keeping or not worth following up. their tendency for attention can be very tiring for others to give. "gotta give for what it's worth, my friend"
my mediacorp colleagues recently asked me to join them for a trip to desaru for a fruits farm tour. i was like ok! why not? i haven't been to desaru for like forever and i haven't seen my mediacorp colleagues forever so i readily agreed. the trip aside which i tell you i will not embark such trips ever and waste my time to see fruits on trees when i want them fresh on my plate, ANYWAY i agreed because of my loyalty to friends.
you know, i have known them for about 5 years now, since i was at mediacorp. that was my first job and they grew from colleagues to friends. i mean how much time you spend with your colleagues is sometimes way more than you spend with your family, in my case my bed. they saw me through my 21st birthday. they saw me through the beginning with jason (the guy with the voice). however i think being an ad admin desk bound bookie wasn't enough, i had to see the world so i left to fy entertainment which was ANOTHER KIND OF WORLD.
but these people, they have a good heart. they are not bitchy and they are down to earth, they are all ladies, mostly in their late 30s whom are not married but they are not stuffy. they are just single and they will leave their marriage/dating hands to fate. as selfish as i think, i'm glad they have not changed. they have not succumbed to the outside world where the shit is just nasty, even if they did, i'm just glad they are true to me the way they are 5 years ago. and maybe because they made me feel i am always 21, a young sister to them for them to shield against the big bad world. i'm sure they watched me grow and i'm thankful that they will always be a part of my life.
in a way, i'm sad to say that i have been busy seeing the world that i forget to keep in touch with them which results sometimes they forget to keep in touch with me too. it's a 2 way thing but the feeling of being invited is nice u know. and because they did try but i was too busy, the whole process of asking got lost and forgotten.
nevertheless, i'm going to try from now on because i believe if you do treasure something, you have to make effort. because i like them and i want to spend time with them, i will try. no point putting on airs or false pretense that i'm god-damn busy, in a way, we all need one another to keep ourselves in check. of course i say that when you actally LIKE that person or people.
but also, in a twisted irony, you have to spend time with the people you don't like because it will be beneficial in a long run. just sayin one day you'll get sick and tired of it. because one day i will be.
these god-damn pre-menstrual hormones is making me fucking emotional.
i love them and my friend's hat.
i love them 2.
i love them 3.

"We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces." - Grey's Anatomy
