Stress - Upset - Tired Private Entry

Posted July 5th, 2010 at 05:48 AM by Brian (Brian’s Blog - Day’s of a Geek)

Of late I've been too busy to think about anything else other than my ongoing project at work. So there have been no updates for quite a while. The deadline is fast approaching and I am still working on my report draft. I hope everything will turn out OK. It’s been a long and arduous journey from last December till now (and will continue until late next month).

Am I doing a good job? I would like to think so. My direct superior wouldn’t think so because I stand in her way of claiming...

Do your leaders walk their talk?

Posted June 11th, 2010 at 08:23 AM by Brian (Brian’s Blog - Day’s of a Geek)

When you are faced with an adverse situation at work, you come to realize whether your leaders are true leaders, or are they just full of hot air.

When all goes well, leaders preach grand, noble values and belief systems, alluding to how good leaders they appear to be.

When things go wrong, watch carefully if your leaders walk the talk.

So much for all the fancy corporate values, mission statements and ethical standards.

Update on some of my neglected sites.

Posted April 28th, 2010 at 05:53 PM by Brian (Brian’s Blog - Day’s of a Geek)

The amount of updates I’ve done for my sites in the past week were probably the most I’ve done in the past year! I’ve built 3 new sites within the space of 5 days and currently populating them with unique articles. I’ve also updated two of my much neglected sites in terms of Wordpress version upgrade, template upgrade, and plugin upgrades. I’m extremely happy with how they are presented now

Just last night I’ve taken the plunge and invested quite some money on an SEO service, building...

Taking charge of one’s own career

Posted March 7th, 2010 at 02:55 PM by Brian (Brian’s Blog - Day’s of a Geek)
Tags career, life, sucks

I‘m a strong believer in taking charge of one’s own career, instead of being told what to do and led around by organizational norms and one’s superiors.

The reason is that I think most superiors out there are not genuinely concerned about their subordinates’ career prospects. The reason is simple – it involves personal benefits.

Take for example, a boss who advices his subordinate to stave off an application for promotion citing the need to have a 'strong case'....

Is the world coming to an end?

Posted March 3rd, 2010 at 04:05 PM by Brian (Brian’s Blog - Day’s of a Geek)

One cannot help but wonder if the world is coming to an end soon. At least, it does seem that way to a skeptic like me.

What with the widespread food scare, unending inflation, pending global recession, mega earthquake in Chile , and global warming getting worse.

I wonder ”if” I will be able to get a job at all in such economic conditions, even considering my not too bad credentials. Will I have to end up working as a waiter or a supermarket cashier… if such jobs will be...
