Recently, I’ve taken a shift in viewing how I should position myself as an employee and a professional person. In the past, I’ve clearly placed virtual barriers in terms of communicating about the nature of my work, the place and people I work for and the results I produce for my employers. Personally I have stated my

I’ve always made it a point to keep details about my work and the place I work as private as possible. Sometimes, I guess, it is difficult to reconcile this love of writing about my life that exposes some not-so-private details to many, and the desire to maintain privacy – because a part of me likes the attention

I haven’t done a weekend musing in years. I guess, time caught up with my poor soul, the cynicism of life and its realities distracted my mind from the thoughts it was used to running. And so whenever I had the time to actually pen down my thoughts, my thoughts were haggard and reluctant, quite

Lick Boot Jane is a typical TVB Series Gucci Mama. Unless you’re one yourself, you’ll probably loathe to experience the sight of her. Jane’s great expertise and skill in life is licking the boots of the powers that currently be. The conversational style is easily distinguishable. ‘Ah yes, boss, yes, you are so right. Correct. Those were my thoughts exactly. Correct.

Well, Eric and I made it back to the movies after a good four months of hiatus from cinema-going. The last time I visited a GSC or Cineleisure or TGV was for Avatar (or was it Sherlock Holmes? – can’t recall). We left the kid at our house, and my mom came over to babysit

Ten years ago, when describing myself at my first official job interview: Hi, I’m still at school. I like reading and writing. I enjoy books that are very descriptive, and I love the classical greats, like Shakespeare and Keats. I believe that being a literature graduate gives me the flexibility to explore more options in my

Some people have written in to ask me about expressing milk and how I planned for my son’s feeding times before I went back to work. I’m happy to share my methods with you, but please note that I’m no guru on the matter, since I’m merely walking the path that many have taken before me. My

Well, with time always running at breakneck speed, here I am back at the office again. This time around I’ve returned to work a working mummy, with an additional cooler bag with empty bottles and a box to store my trusty old Medela Harmony. Prior to starting work I’ve been pumping like crazy – and

We came back from Paul’s scheduled 6 week check up today with the latest news: Paul’s gained a hefty 1+ kilograms and added another 8 cm to his body length. I’m feeling quite ‘accomplished’ since Paul’s been on nothing except momma’s milk. Of course Paul’s papa doesn’t hesitate to call me the moo moo cow

A very haphazard superior, because you can always (patiently) explain to the confused subordinate, and overtime s/he will “get it”.
LOL.

Haphazard superior is better. Because that way, you can always confuse him / her into doing what you want. Confused subordinate can be really useless for a really long time no matter how much you explain or try.

For me, it goes without saying that a haphazard superior is worse. Think from this perspective: Don’t you agree that the subordinate is always confused as the superior has been behaving haphazardly since time immemorial?…

The workforce of the world is full of both haphazardous supervisors/directors and the confused subordinates.
You can choose to be an informed subordinate.
