Office Stimulus Package – Dinner Night Out

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!     Waaatttzzzaaaaaaaaaaa….
I’m online again, on the road… Thanks to Celcom Broadband…!!

Monday has been crazy… The Office needs some reorganization a little bit to make sure things run smoothly.

Had this airline meeting in the morning and was interrupted with something in The Office. I hate it when it happens and well, when client wants something, we have to deliver. Right?

Monday usually comes with a tag line, Monday Meetings. Non stop ones that is. I have to make a mental note NOT to schedule any appointments on Mondays. Ever! Ever! Ever! *stress*

Oh, I need to get a new dispatch to run things in The Office. Running out of hands to help get things delivered and again, I hate it when I have to do my own delivery. When that happens, I am stuck more than half a day outside.

Had an earlier planned dinner with ex-colleague but it was canceled. That means, I will be stuck in the office doing all paperwork. That can wait.

I decided to throw everyone a dinner night out.
So, it was a “Bring The Office Out For Dinner” night, tonight.

I asked for consensus where they all wanna go and Pavilion was the choice. Went to Pavilion. Looked at the directory and decided on Dome. Can’t have many choices as Accounts Girl can only consume Halal meals.

I feel that, we open up to each other better over dinner. I get to understand them better and we share our thoughts and feelings towards our work. Plus, it is easier to get harsh comments through to the other person. Like how I hit hard at my Junior Ticketing for his mistakes and how much we want him to change and work better as a team. In The Office working environment, there is hardly any room for mistakes. It will cost us our valuable clients. Simple as that.

This morning briefing, I was telling my counterpart how small The Office is and she said “So there is no politics at all. Good“.

I replied, “There is. I keep politics real. I tell them in the face where are their faults and rights.”

I explained that, like it or not, someone gotta tell you what is so wrong or right about your working attitude or performance. Instead of telling how bad you are at your back, I tell you right in front of your face and you change, you stay. You don’t, I’m sorry but there are many others who wants to sit at your place. Simple as that.

Anyways, I’m so gonna do this every month. Doesn’t matter which pocket it comes from. As long as we get to bond with each other better, that’s it. Furthermore, it helps with their pocket to enjoy great meal at the expense not of their own.

Call it The Office Stimulus Package – Dinner Night Out.

Okay.. time to run now… Be right back later once I’m home.. in a while…
