Resources

What are resources? They are things that do the work, or help with the work. They are tools, in a sense, to get things done in an appropriate manner and duration. It can be money, softwares, and human. What will happen if one does not have resources but was force to do the work as effective as when they are enough resources? I am pretty damn sure that the unlucky person will be very unhappy. Unhappy person brings low quality results. This is what exactly I am feeling now.

 

Ok, the servers are here and I have asked the main technical person to get involved in the installation. This person happened to be in another section, obviously the IT section which actually a support service section for the company. I am not well versed with the IT part of the installation, as I am an electrical engineer. I deals with the end result, the data. I need someone that is capable of pointing out that this is right, this is not and suggest improvement to be executed. It is at the same time, lessen my burden of having to dissolve every bits of information during a short period of time. Well, fair enough, I am the one who asked him in the first place. Then came the boss, mentioning that my team should be independent and someone to take care of it without being too dependent on his staff. OK, very well. Then, why on earth that his section is called support service section? They have put in research somewhere in the middle of their section name, not that I can remember because most of the things that they do does not come up very much in R&D projects. They still have problems with the MPE version (it was deployed last Jan? Haha). Duhh. As far as I can remember, I have only asked this very nice gentleman for two major breakdowns for the past one year. One was when the disks was out and need to set the database to another disk, and the other when the database was corrupted due to power failure. That is all, and he did not even ask me for appraisal at the end of the financial year, because the work is too little. Oh dear, this boss is definitely a nuisance. I did not ask him for petty things like please check the server for me, is it working or not. No, I only asked help for major problems. Ok, then there will be this problem – I wanted to go online for the historical data services after the server has been installed and running. Well, I don’t think that this boss will allow me to assign his staff to do the work because they are so busy at the moment. I am very disturbed and annoyed. Breathe.
