No expection, no disappointment :)

Yes, I think I have finally learnt my lesson. Truely learnt it.

And I greatly can understand that there won't be disappointment when there are no expection to begin with.

Not sure if I have blogged about this before.

About 1 to 2 months ago, my small boss asked us to note to her all our various portfolios above the expected required portfolio.

She later came to tell me that they (the bigger bosses) decided to take some things off my load as they felt that I am holding on to too much stuff.

Sometime last month we had our assessment and review. Well, needless to say, things changed again. Or maybe they have never meant what they said and hence there wasn't any change in their opinion.

They said: 'your role is simply too important for us to replace you with another person'; and 'your portfolios are mostly staggered, so it does not really come all at one time'.

This is what chinese say: 黑的都可以讲到变白的,死的都可以变活的。。。。

Anyway, I did not believe anything good would happen anyway so there was no disappointment.

Like this week, my partner for one of the portfolios had to undergo a surgery unexpectedly. I had to do almost everything (except the statistics which I was not trained to do, and at times he still helped to liase with our external partner on some last minute stuff). Nobody had approached me at any time to ask if I needed another person to help. Anyway, nevermind. Don't complain.

Next milestone, things will be different.
