Deployment in Bangkok


I will be travelling to Thailand in a couple of days. Phase I of the project will be going live. After some tight situations, the application now seems to be working fine. Sadly the project leader will be moving to another company in August. So it is important to implement the project right away to his staff in Bangkok to have our foot in the door. I did not want to travel so soon to Thailand until the remaining patches are installed. But there will be no more time left with the project leader leaving. I have learned a lot from him and he will be sorely missed.

The other project with the boss man is the problematic one. I never realized that things would turn out badly. Actually not that bad except in the pressure I received from all the others. It may have been a mistake to bring my old boss into the meeting. But I felt it was inevitable in order to control the princess. Now he is the main critic if I am not careful. I felt depressed during the weekend after thinking about the meeting last week. It was not a particularly brutal meeting but was painful nevertheless.

The trip to Bangkok was challenged but I think that it was more a aimless shot not meant to highlight any issue but just to throw mud around. I felt fatigued and tired after all these activity but I think we are turning a corner. The trick is to observe your body and take a rest when needed. I attach a mind map on natural medicine to keep us healthy when faced with all the stress in the office. I think I will be able cath my breath in Bangkok.
