Acting the goat

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

I sometimes wonder how rich people tend to "Acting the goat". We’re installing this new internet port with a customized configuration that mostly provide our client to have a secured vlan connection in one of IDC’s rack in Jakarta. Our client is suppose to be the new major player in entertainment, installing at their premises inside a new developed mall that’s not even 100% open.

But they keep on "acting the goat", imposibbly proud, and the guy handling it is unbelievably proud and like to talk the goat to others (aka. my employees). Even the boss, the supposed to be very rich guy from jakarta, called my friend just to acting the goat. The problem being their lack of communications in their own company which is a new company. They asked us so many time to do some funny customized configuration that we need to have a special permit to the IDC to do, and also we have to set a grooming time with other providers. This doesn’t matter, but everytime they ask to do it off business hours and with time frame of "ASAP". I’m so sorry, but I’m not Bandung Bondowoso, or even Sangkuriang.

"Acting the goat" term was taken from Tintin books.

Boring work

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

My work feels unbelievably boring. Been working, concerning and thinking about the same thing since 1992 and seems quite a dull thing to do for me now. Always the same old stuffs to deal with. My staffs problems, tax people problems, bandwidth problems, and all IT bullsh*t stuffs problems which I could throw up just mentioning it.

I don’t like to judge people (in this matter my people), so I can’t as much as say that this is right or wrong cause people has their own characteristic. I hate people who comments and tend to blame others for some sh*t happening in the company. Why? Because doing so and acting-the-boss kinda thing, doesn’t help! I like to see things done my way (well actually just because this is my own baby company).

But that’s it. I hate my job, and tend to hate people who’s acting-the-goat in the company and doesn’t even look at me as their boss (hey! I’m actually the boss here!).

Anyway, now I just come to work to handle daily working activities and don’t give sh*t about other things. Tried hard to have time for my sons, daugther and my lovely wife. If I could stay home and do nothing unless taking care of my children and my wife all the time, that would be more than enough for me. Bored by it?  Not a chance, they’re my family.
