Xmas Eve

I find it very refreshing to own a blog that nobody or v few ppl read it. I cant precisely explain the reason but it feels good. Perhaps it has to do with having less responsibility in answer to ppl who read what I wrote.

Nothing spectacular these few days except that the excitment grows each day. Not talking abt X'mas definitely, but the fateful day of my eye op. Ever since I started work, I have been 'searching' for interesting events to break the monotonous lifestyle of mine. It used to be Dharma circles, courses at ITE etc. The one I have long been waiting for is my visit to SNEC. Feel some pessimisism in me, or mabbe i am jus paranoid. From past experiences, things always go wrong when I was too excited over them.

My staff just called me to ask if they can be excused uniform since its x'mas eve today (we r not working full day today). My answer is negative... I want them to wear uniform. Mabbe thats the minimum discipline that I wish to keep for myself and my staff.

Yday, another 50+yr old staff was called into my manager's office for disciplinary problems. He has already received a previous Final Warning letter from HR dept on poor working attitude. He was begging us to let him off for once and let him continue to work. He cried about having and 80+ yr old mother. I guessed I have grown much tougher and hard hearted, I told my boss to dismiss him. We cant keep old, slow and poor workers in our company and affect our productivity. Scold me if you want, but I were to keep him back, the other staff will scold me as well.

Merry Xmas!
