another day

1:30pm (ish) 8 March, 2007
Location: Client office, Rama 3, BKK
Feeling: tired, bored, needing a holiday

Sigh. So yes - Brunei it is on Monday. Have booked my ticket. I don't really want to go. I kind of got comfortable here - finally got my client counterpart to (more) comfortably blab to me in English and become less scared (he seems a bit shy...) and now I have to move countries, move clients, move project teams. I dunwanna go. I have to be nice and make friends and build trust, respect and blah with the client, gotta make new job manager comfortable with my output, learn and adjust to their style of working and managing. It's all too hard. I wouldn't mind staying here where I know everything, everyone and how it all works. I am not bored yet... I think. (Well apart from today. Actually, if I see one more process map I may vomit...)

I can't seem to make myself do work today/yesterday. I have HEAPS to do but I can't make myself care... That's baaaad. I can see myself finishing work off for this on the flight home from BKK.

Other news... getting appraised again. Have to write a self-assessment.

Had a client function yesterday which finished late... Have a firm function tonight which will probably finish late. Sigh. I just want a nap!

Other topics I want to write about later (as I have to go and pretend to do work now...):

1) FFF (farken fitness first)
2) Post photos of the night of that incident (where they wouldn't let me into a bar because i was a female alone) and vent some more about it.
3) Umm. forgotten for now...

Item #2 - Photos from the night at Barsu (bar that opened at Sheraton Sukhumvit) - where door people discriminated against me in such a manner that ended up costing them about 6-7 bottles of French champagne, numerous Cuban cigars (see below), dozens of cocktails and fingerfood for 8 hungry people. Geesh, I should complain more often. However, I am still fuming and totally holding a grudge.

'Tis Lillian and Kareem smoking the free cigars and spreading the love. Also free.



Tis myself with Arthur and his wife, Barbara on the left. Arthur = boss on project (kind of) and has relocated to BKK with family for a year or two.


James, Barbara and myself...


Just me...
