Spent the whole day composing my status report. This time I am sure I will start a war between the Technical and Functional Team. Knowing that there will be a big meeting between the bosses of the two teams, I don’t want to know the result. Just too much tension between the team. And Michel [...]

The Movie Romeo and Juliet Moves Me
April 16th, 1997 No Comments
Spent half a day doing an evaluation on the Technical Team. Another half a day having MUE meeting with Sophie and discussing the matter with Michel. That guy has a temper problem. Personally I don’t think he can handle the design at all. Mohamed was very curious on what I wrote on the evaluation but [...]

25 More Man-days in Paris
April 7th, 1997 No Comments
Monday, status report again. This time, I think I am quite nasty towards the Function Team as I am really not happy about the reliability SIR. Guess they got the message. Damn me. I should have some self-control but I think there has been too much stress, especially between the Technical and Function Team. And [...]

Mail Server Crashed, Not That I Quit
April 2nd, 1997 No Comments
Aurore stopped me from swearing in French. Most shocking. Anyway, I shouldn’t do it to start with. Got an image to maintain, you know. Received an email from Doug praising me that my status report was very good. Well, he didn’t exactly say that. What he said was my most recent status report is a [...]

April’s Fool. Really wanted to call up Lionel first thing in the morning telling him that I have quited the firm and returning back to Singapore next morning. But I didn’t do it. Thought it would been too much. Nice thought though. Yes, my dream has come true. I sat in the office the whole [...]

So I Pissed Off the Whole World
March 17th, 1997 No Comments
Today I ended up making everybody angry. Firstly, Sophie has arranged a “get together” dinner for me but sad to say, I have forgotten that “No Doubt” concert is tomorrow as well. I can tell that she is very angry. She told me that she hoped the concert is worth it. Damn me. Damn her. [...]
A Politic of Suspicion
March 14th, 1997 No Comments
Yesterday was Friday and I had a good heart to heart chat with Mohamed. What interested me was why he has to keep a distance to me. I think that guy is too suspicious of what is around him. I agreed with him that Nicolas and Aurore is just getting too close and gossip too much. [...]

Sophie, What Have I Won Again?
March 13th, 1997 No Comments
Today Sophie said to me that I have won. Win what, I asked. Lionel has finally agreed with my Spot Advice. The stressful thing is I am not 100% full confident about this. But it is indeed a challenge. I knew the BNP team was trying to get me but I was just not interested [...]
Shame on Me
March 12th, 1997 No Comments
Shame on me! Shame on me! I have completely lost my self-control today. Apparently, today we were supposed to kick off the Spot Advice SIR but both Mohamed and Claude were busy doing something I don’t know. But I was very angry. So I taught Willie everything in one day. Report Writer, Stored Procedures and [...]
