Today was just another day at work. But then there was a few sudden screw up and we had a race against time. And my shift IC showed me how a great leader he is. Despite the sudden screw up, he quickly look for solutions and grab a team with him to rectify it, without blaming anyone. Sure he was disappointed, but he did not whine, complain or even reprimand the guy responsible(knowing the guy was sincerely apologetic about his mistake). Although it was quite a serious problem, he did not made any negative remarks at all and simply told us this.
"Being human, is to err."
What more, he did not order a his team to rectify. He led the team to rectify. And I really think that is important and people respect that alot. After all, a leader is to lead by examplenot just ordering or commanding.
It is interesting how in time of crisis, you get to see the true characters of a person. Respect man. Looks I have alot to learn.
And my friend shared his underwater diving experience! And it is really amazing the way he described the underwater life. But there were also some dark scary things underwater that he mentioned too. =/ But I think I dont mind learning diving!!! It is gonna be so cool!! See the sharks, whales and ship wrecks! Must save up $$$ =(
I hope they back-pay me now. Im freaking losing money every month. Shouldn't have reject my parents money. So difficult to self-sustain. But I shall persevere! Sergeant pay is coming soon! Let's see, if they really back pay me... I will get $1.5K =D... And if they don't, they cheat away $800+ from me. =/ fml
And looks like there will be a busy month ahead in August. Say goodbye to my social life. =/
