run myself better

Work Tales - Lunch with Snow Petrol at Secret Recipe. It was very smart of Snow Petrol to initiate an informal lunch meeting with Iron Butterfly to get to know us better before we officially join the team next month. Snow Petrol asks us to introduce ourselves briefly and describe what are our likes & dislikes; so no tails are step on moving forward. Snow Petrol is intelligent, well-spoken, arrogrant, cocky, aggresive, irrational, extreme and telling us who is the boss. Who is holding the power and authority. I think Snow Petrol also took the opportunity to observe our characters, behaviors, attitudes & personality. I'm sure all the necessary homework is already done prior to this lunch meeting. I just have a feeling that Snow Petrol favors Celtic & Patrick, Matte-Marit and especially Natalie because these are the key buyers with major departments. They lay the golden eggs. I am only the smallie :) It's how you play the game, follow the rules. And it's already begun. I also need to start to bond more with my new team members, socialise with them etc. But most of the time now, I just want to be left alone to my thoughts, to un-think and to space out.

I was very relaxed during the lunch...I didn't say much...only a couple of lines because I was observing them instead...seeing how they react & respond to each other :) I will just be me. I will accept nothing more and I will give nothing less. I take the responsibility in fulfilling my duties. I hope I will survive the unimaginable and triumph the unthinkable :)

i know what you mean!

i don't really like to socialise much at work. as long as people keep out of my way i'm happy. i think it's just cos i'm different from them. not from the same patch of earth.
