Work , still abt work..

I am feeling quite perplexed now, over my work. I knew it! I shldnt have checked my work mails at home but i felt so tempted to. In the end, i saw some exchanges of emails between 2 parties in disagreement, and i am supposed to be the bridge between them to settle the issue. Argh, i am quite lost in how to deal with this 'special case' cos i cant simply follow the usual guidelines. I know where both parties are coming from, but i cant just sit on the fence.

The best is to consult my boss on the issue. Luckily he is back from China. Lets pray hard i can see him on monday morning. Sighz, tats the problem of being new to an organisation. I duno the processes well, and even if there isnt any existing process, i also lack the experience to come out with a good decision, less say how to deal with the diff parties.

And worst of all, I discover one super great weakeness i have, but unknown to me in the past, after i come to work at HP. I have super lousy listening skills - and i dun mean it in terms of attentiveness, but the ability to comprehen what the other party is saying. When i was talking to the ang mos, i blamed them on their strong american accent. When i conversed with Koreans and Japs, i complained abt their poor english. And when i communicate with the China ppl in MANDARIN, i found that i also have difficulties understanding them!!!! Arghh... am i really so weak in talking over the phones??? I really lost my confidence.

On the lighter note, i had a pretty interesting encounter during lunch time yday. When i first came to work abt 2 months back, i chose a seat next to this gentleman (someone i duno, and not from my dept). My new colleagues joined me shortly and the meal went on as usual. After that gentleman left, my colleagues began to ask me if that gentleman who has just left is my brother, cos we look v much alike. They thot i sat next to him on purpose, thinking he is my brother. I nv get to see that guy's face cos he left before my colleagues told me abt it.

Yday during lunch, they saw him again. I take a good look at this guy and i was caught in a little surprise. No... its not becos i think i look like him, but i find this gentleman very good looking and suave. Wahaha. . if only i really look like him manz. .
