苦中做乐
Sometimes I wonder why I bother putting in 100% at work when people I work with are totally relaxed with no sense of urgency.
I don't like to dilly dally at work. If works needs to be done, I like get it done quick and out of the way. It doesn't miraculously go away if you let it stew in your intray/inbox.
Yes I know its important to keep the spirits all livened up at work but when you have stuff to do, stop being an idiot, ignore those work and keep ranting on about how you are trying to 苦中做乐. In the first place, where is the 苦 if you are choosing to be oblivious to them? And while you are 做乐-ing if you so believe is well deserving, please keep your volume down as there are people who needs to concentrate on their work, or be on calls for work discussion. My counterparties over at the other end of the line don't need to know what you ate for lunch, how much money you spent for shopping and which guy you are going out with after work.
And if I ask you to do something, its not because I am pitting against you. Yes you may not like it, but I am after all your senior and there's nothing personal, its just work that needs to be done. This art of delegation ( so so not a form of 太极） is not as easy as you fathom, cause its my head (and not yours) on the chopping board at the end of the day and I am putting my faith and trust in you to work with me to deliver.
And credits do not come to me alone when its a job well done. and you know that jolly well.
You don't need to butter up to me cos I hate being buttered. A good piece of work will be much sweeter and smoother.
