On course - but still on working mode

Hope this entry will not end up as another J.A.N.E again... cos i have nothing much to report or reflect abt tonite.

As usual, I checked my work mail immediatley after i reached home, even before i went for my bath. Saw a big arrow from Korea asking me to do something, which i thot shldnt be in my portfolio. As such, my 'defensive mode' was turned on naturally. Hence, I forwarded the mail to my boss, complaining to him abt the issue, and that this Korean guy shldnt have asked me to do this and that....

During bathing, i realised tat i have not replied the email professionally. I sound more like pushing the job, then to help solve the real problem, esp the sender from Korea must be as equally helpless as me. As such, i try to recollect the entire issue, and slowly analyse what might have gone wrong throughout the entire process. Hence, I recalled back the email i sent out earlier (yeah, our company mail has this function), and replaced it with a new email - providing the background of this issue, the possible failure and suggestions. Although my analysis and solutions may not be right, at least i feel i show some professionalism for my job.

It seems that most giant companies are slowly selling off and out-sourcing their departments. Even depts like R&D, finance and H R are not spared. Only 2 grps of ppl will remain - Marketting and Program/Project Managers. I am learning hard to become an experienced program/project manager now.
