Good morning my friends!
What a day! I just had a very frustrating conference call late in the afternoon. I came home so wired up it took me a while to calm down. It was about a project that someone was working on from another office. because it was delayed. We called for a meeting to find out what the problem was.
I had suggested the right approach and given him clear instructions on how to do it. But today in my horror, I found out that the approach that I suggested was never followed. In fact, he did just the opposite. That's why the task was still delayed because the results do not make sense.
Sometimes it's more difficult to convince colleagues with more years of experience since they think they knew the right solution and would stubbornly insist on doing things their way.
To prove that the results were unacceptable, I had to ask him to quickly plot the graphs of some key indicators. The obvious mistake in his approach was: making assumptions on factors that are already known and manipulate them to match up with some unknown factors. I and he will have a one on one session tomorrow morning to get this thing done.
The technology is advancing rapidly but there are principles and rules that we follow will never change, at least in our lifetime. We must be consistent and never forget.
Sorry for all these "work talks." I'm just speaking what in my mind. What we really need after work is just cheering up! Tonight will be the NBA finals Game 5. Will Toronto take the title tonight? Enjoy the game if you could.
So, cheers everyone!
