Today time sheets day,day before every month end , all managers focus is on time sheets,I have been getting these alerts from my managers since the beginning of the my career.All managers have to submit the GMA(Gross Margin Actuals) by last working day of every month, so they push their teammates.From the last few months,I submit my time sheets to me and I approve them for myself, according to my company system I am the manager to myself(I am not joking).When I told the same to my colleagues ,they were laughing like anything ,most of them listening this first time,my time sheet system response is so fast today.When it was slow I didn't do any mistake,today I screwd up my time sheets,I applied working days as leaves and leaves as wroking days ,the worse thing I approved them.Tomorrow I have to sort this out,otherwise it will effect this year appraisal process :-)
I know one Indian-Pakistani-Australian by name Shamim.I am working closely with Shamim for some production implementation activity in these days,today he came to me for some clarification that I requested him to implement,some how I initiated discussion about his childhood ,the discussion went on for 90 mintes.He explained all his life time learnings.He moved to Pakistan from Surat-India when he was 9 years old in 1960's.He was explaning those olden days life style and the stuggles he went through to lead a good life at his early age.He started his life in a packaging company,then as a teacher so on..... now he is the man wo handles bank's production system very efficiently and he treats his team mates on par with his kids.Worth spending time with him,he also told that "Anil, success is not speaking something, but listening to others", I may need some more experience to undersatnd his nice quote.In those olden days he married to a girl of his choice by convincing parents in the best possible way.
Tomorrow is last day in present office for one of my teammate and friend Scott , she and her friend became my friends , they even park their car in my room and when ever time permits I used to go with them for evening walk . These girls are very soft spoken and friendly in nature..Today we all walked from office to home,memorising all these days that we worked together and discussed about their future plans , took farewell snaps and assured that all of us will meet again in future.Tomorrow I might be going for lunch with them if time permits.
Had dinner at Indian restaurant ,showed farewell snaps to my roommates .One of friend is devotee or one of the girl in the photo, he is going to miss them badly:-).I told them same to that girl while walking , she was happy to know about her fan club.
As expected got a warning kind of mail from timemsheet management people that "Anil,More care needs to be exercsied while submitting time sheets such errors are not acceptable".Thanks to the mistake I did, I got to know one senior person becasue of my mistake, now its my turn how I am going to deal ,with this person, I am confident that I will impress him very well.Mistakes are nothing but opprtunties to learn and grow in life.
Some of my Indian colleagues got awards for their excellant work ,send heartful appreciation mails to them before going to bed.
