dealing with problems

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

Lately I felt somewhat exhausted with a million of things going on actually and I used this weekend for relaxing, by sleeping nearly endless and taking things easy.

Sure, as you might guess feeling exhausted was not forced by too much physical work. In a difference, it was mental work like planning things and solving technical issues all against some deadlines making me feeling tired recently.

Processing a lot of different stuff lately, I one more time was able to see how different people can cope with stress and problems. Some really can’t! Then closing down their mind and often just basically refuse to go on further. Others go on very well with stress, but do need some hand guiding them through all.

Looking at myself, I’m aware that since earliest childhood I’m able to force myself staying cool when needed. Then going on processing things further on just seen by facts and emotion free considerations and often working best especially under pressure.

Honestly this seems to be nothing special for me and personally just I see it as just the way I work. But often it turns out in stressful situations , that others start to look at me, awaiting my decision about how to go on with things …. like actually for a lot of work issues.

The point for me is just about not to do too much then …. and therefore this weekend, I decided to do widely …. nothing. ;-)

 

 

About the trouble handing some work over

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

I recently have given someone a helping hand. For a few days I had fun playing with some stuff. First it needed me to get familiar with it. Then I started tweaking things here and there and did run in some issues for sure … mostly caused by misunderstandings and trying to change stuff not originally written by me and already coming along containing some inherit issues and problems in it.

After a pretty short time of just a few days and even for my feelings surprisingly,  I was able to say … I’ve done - Just finished something within a testing environment and later on bringing it in place are two very different things. And therefore I was not really surprised about the guy had trouble using it directly.

It needed me 3 or 4 days to get a feeling for it and now there are already new changes made by him!

Anyway it is just a question of time, a few more tweaks here and there and most important!! about to build up a common understanding between him and me about how things work together first.

Soon you will see!! ;-)
