A not so good day

Today was a special day. I learnt a lot of lessons. Thanks to my small mistake of not taking my furniture file along to the farmhouse. Everybody knew that except the list of items that i had taken along, rest all items had been reconciled. I, jaswani and zaweri were in sync. but ravinder mehta played villian as always. He when saw that this missing item list is gonna bounce back on him, he insisted on the copy of packing list which i had used for reconcilation although he should have had a copy himself (which obviously he had"misplaced on site"). And hence i was in dock. I tried to get it faxed to the site but it couldn't be done. Sharmaji called me up and used some tough words. Though he was kind. He was only worried about what "madam" will say to him about wasting the time of ppl from bombay. Horrendous it was. A madam on top of GM projects? It sounds cheap. I learnt quite a few things:
1. You are on your own. So wherever you go, go fully armoured.
2. Everybody is after saving his own ass and making his points in corporate, so dont expect morality and shit like that.
3. Do less but do complete. Refuse what you cant do. Its much better that doing a lot of half baked crap.
4. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Dont shy away from fucking ppl whn you have to.
5. Management is not about being nice. Its about getting your work done.
6. Assume power if no one gives it you.
I think lets call it a day..
