Troubles come in many forms – in new ways.

In the current work culture, I’m very careful – especially with gals; anyone can blame on sexual harassment. I try my best to be fair and careful – correct when needed, but within limits.

The issue is that every one wants to be associated with success but no one wants to go through the pain to achieve it. Last week in the team meeting, I corrected one of the gal team-mate that she should take responsibility in getting her task completed rather than always asking others to do her work. She went and complained to my boss that it was wrong of me to have corrected her in front of the team! And she complained that I am always targeting her. When my boss tried to find more details, he thought she has an attitude issue and tried to reason with her. But then she started to cry and say that the whole team is targeting her. Once she started to cry my boss became nervous.

He later called me and warned me that this could go in the wrong direction. He has already informed the HR of this. He is now in Malaysia. He is back next week. Only after I will know the results. Hmmm..not what I want at this time.

Also yesterday after swimming, I was walking back to my car and I slipped and fell down (believe me, I have no idea how it happened – it was a plain surface and I didn’t trip. I was walking and just like that I fell down). I got my pant torn and got bruises on the knee and the palm. I have no idea where everything leads to.

I am pretty much convinced that 2008 is going to be a great year. Doubt is if I will see it?
