TunaTurner: I feel like I don't belong here la
TunaTurner: Sigh
SalmonKhan: Haiyo.. Why la baby?
TunaTurner: Feel so out of place...
TunaTurner: I don't feel this job anymore
TunaTurner: (chronic PMS alert)
TunaTurner: (or maybe early 30s life crisis)
TunaTurner: =))
SalmonKhan: Hahahahahaha.. U ah..
SalmonKhan: Are u actively involved in the audit or just tagging along?
SalmonKhan: Alaaaa.. Keep your head up la baby.. U're still involved in very important issues here and they are depending on you ;)
SalmonKhan: Don't sell yourself short la..
SalmonKhan: Just the TS audit itself is a huge deal for this company.. And u're playing a pivotal role kan :)
TunaTurner: What role?
TunaTurner: Sigh
TunaTurner: It's not about me feeling insignificant
SalmonKhan: Don't say that la..
TunaTurner: It's just dat I don't feel this job anymore
SalmonKhan: There's a reason ur presence is needed for the control plan approval and review
SalmonKhan: Ah.. I get you on that..
SalmonKhan: U know what I think u need?
TunaTurner: And I'm well aware dat I'm driving myself to destruction
TunaTurner: Hehe
SalmonKhan: I think u need to taste some "accomplishment" here..
SalmonKhan: Maybe another project
TunaTurner: What kinda accomplishment la ?
SalmonKhan: Or something along those lines
SalmonKhan: It sounds like u've forgotten the feeling of accomplishing something and getting the recognition you deserve
SalmonKhan: And yes.. If you stay this way, u're heading down the road of self destruction la baby..
SalmonKhan: That's not good la baby
SalmonKhan: I know you well enough to say u're smart and assertive..
SalmonKhan: Two very strong qualities that u have that can lift u up..
SalmonKhan: And i'm not jus being nice k..
SalmonKhan: I really think what happened has just made u forget the feeling of accomplishment
SalmonKhan: Try reminiscing something u completed and got praise and self-satisfaction for..
SalmonKhan: Anything else u did here
SalmonKhan: Despite the stupid antics ur asshole of a boss has..
SalmonKhan: Remember the other aspects of it that made u feel like u were kicking ass in this field ;)
SalmonKhan: I really think u just gotta feel that success again..
SalmonKhan: It's not easy to put life back into ur work when u've been slapped in the face
SalmonKhan: Trust me I know..
SalmonKhan: But remember, and I mean REMEMBER.. If you've accomplished something even just once.. You can DEFINITELY do it again!
TunaTurner: Sigh
TunaTurner: My motivation is zero la
TunaTurner: What a pathetic realization to have on ur 28th bday
TunaTurner: :(
SalmonKhan: all u gotta do is stand up and keep that posture straight.. And start moving forward again.. Soon those baby steps will turn to footsteps.. And before u know it, u'll be running again..
SalmonKhan: It's not a pathetic realization
SalmonKhan: It's good!
SalmonKhan: How're u gonna overcome a problem if you don't know what the problem is????
SalmonKhan: But now you do..
TunaTurner: :'(
SalmonKhan: It's like when a tech tells me.. "boss.. Device ni tak leh run, tolong fix"
SalmonKhan: I'm thinkin "wtf am I superman?"
SalmonKhan: "what's the problem?"
SalmonKhan: "corr lockout, gain error, calibration fail.." Whatever it is.. Once I know the problem, I can move towards fixing it..
SalmonKhan: before this.. Ur system was just telling you "boss, tak leh run, tolong fix"
TunaTurner: Brb
TunaTurner: Auditors are here
SalmonKhan: Now.. Ur system is telling you "hmmm, failing kat lower limit.. marginal failure.. Test name Motivation.."
SalmonKhan: :p
SalmonKhan: Just remember what I said
SalmonKhan: And read it over if u didn't digest it the first time..
SalmonKhan: ;)
SalmonKhan: Love you!
