Frustrated

Realised that it's been a long while since I posted my last entry. 8 days into this new year, and I still don't seem to experience the excitement and newness that the beginning of a year entails. Simply plodding along day by day.

And yes, the IT project has been rather draining, I must say. Staying back at the vendor's office to complete test cases till 9+pm daily seems more like the norm than exception. Gotta brace myself for another tiring week ahead.

I was back in office briefly yesterday morning to attend to some matters, and I got rather mad after reading an email from my boss, asking me to work on a certain report quickly. I felt so unjustified! Here I am working so hard on the IT project testing, and there, my boss is undermining the effort of it all. It's so discouraging! Ever since the re-org 1+year ago, my section has been feeling like "orphans" in this new dept. Afterall, our operations did not syn with the core function of the dept. It did not help that the section is located at a different office premise, away from the dept.

The IT project, a massive one indeed, involves many other depts that are totally committed as it affects their core businesses. But, my section, a small user of the system, does not seem to get my dept's support. No doubt it is not the core business of my dept, but please understand that the demands and the schedule that we are expected to follow are just as gruelling. I am disappointed at the lack of support from my bosses as they seem to imply that I should foucs on the core business of the dept. If so, may I ask, who's gonna do all the laborious dirty work? And who will answer for the hiccups in the system in future???

Even now, the thought of it still makes me mad, as you can already tell... Ok, enough said about work. There are other more important matters in life than work. Must really spend some quality moments pondering over the various issues I am faced with. Nothing much to say about them as yet.
