This is not Good Bye...

Today is your last day with our project team. I hope that you have made the right choice to move on to do something else more suited for you.

The road ahead is tough, I know, I have spoken to your "future" colleagues, but I believe they will help you. You just have to ask if you do not know, and read more to gain knowledge. After all, it's pre-sales, you are expected to know more than an ordinary engineer.

Take care, you will have my support.

Ps. Just got news that the replacement for you has not be found, and may not be found in the near future...life goes on...

Transfer...ole...ole...ole...

It's confirmed, she is transferring to Pre-sales team starting 1-Nov, or rather she's joining the team after comes back on from her holiday (from 4 to 19-Nov).

I spoke to an old friend of mine where she will be joining his group, but not the same team. He said that it will be tough for her, because the pre-sales role requires one to be technical inclined, so the learning curve for her will be "very steep". She don't even like to do hands-on work when she was with our team!

Today, she emailed me to thank me for guiding her for the last 2++yrs, and asked me to give her my msn acct. Actually, I had given her my msn acct 2 years back, and she had added me, I guess either she had changed another ID, blocked me or had removed me from her msn list. Nope, not going to give it to her again!

I didn't even talk to her today, she was like enjoying herself, went lunch at 11:40am and came back only after 2:30pm, hey, our official lunch time is from 1 to 2pm, ok?!?!

Anyway, all the best to her, ole...ole...ole...

Doing Pre-sales?

She told me that most likely, she will move to pre-sales, and I have to start looking for a replacement for her soon. She will talk to the pre-sales boss, and likely if ok, will take up the post after she came back from holiday next month (wonders where is she going this time?).

Just recently, the PM decided to "out-source" the Peoplesoft server admin to another team, a group of middleware people, that triggers the rumours that She is to be replaced.

Just few days back, She had a email squabble with the DBA again, in the end, the PM intervented. Sometimes, I couldn't understand, why is it so difficult for people to work well with each other?

Well, if She takes up the post, then no more late coming to work (nowadays, She comes in after 10am), cannot take MC as she likes...haha. I hope She regrets her decision later on.

Sigh...I feel like leaving too...

Rumours worst rumours

Monday...I'm really not happy today. Why? I heard this morning that it seems the whole team knew about her intention to transfer to another department, which has not been confirmed yet, most probably she does not want to.

I have told the Project Manager about her intention to transfer. Damned it...I shouldn't have said it! Now, even other team's people knows about it. What should I do for damage control? What a bad move!

There are just people whom you can't trust, next time, NO, there's no NEXT TIME, I'm going to keep my mouth shut!
