The Intention of Leaving

I think it's about time to leave the company. I found that my job duty is going to be worthless. Even my manager has no priority to meet me for more than a week. I think it is good though. I can focus more on my study and speed up my progress.

The Last Day of Class

Today is the last day of class. Even though I've dropped the class, I loved to attend it. I just don't want to do the homework anyway.

Money Matters: The First Month Loses

I have been trying the invest on the stock market for about 5 months. The last two trading days of this month will not go up to much. So, I think this month, the fifth month, is the first month I losing the money.

The Future

I've work for this company for about 2 years. However, I found that the work load given by this company is torturing. Now, I need to be a project manager of an ERP project which has been also existing for about 2 years. I've have been already working on this project for 1.5 years, from implementation to current status.

Even though I am the project manager and there are another four team members, all of them have another projects on hand. No one can guarantee what can be done and what can't be done given a deadline. The schedule, which has been fixed, is simply means nothing.

I don't want to bear the risk of the project anymore. In fact, I don't want to be a project manager. Studying the degree already takes me so much time. Being a good project manager takes time. My life will be very hard in order to studying hard and work hard. As a matter of fact, I already need to withdraw a course in order to take care of the human resources changes of the project. I don't want this happening again. It's wasting my time and money.

Monday, I'll propose to my manager that either I'll not do any project management or I'll quit the job. Study now is my first priority. Almost nothing can change it.

Accomplishment

Today, I've finished the user interface implementation of table dependency finder, my new product. I used to develop software development tools. This is one of them. However, the company seems not quite need them.

Here's the pattern:

• My colleagues always encounter some problems over and over again.
• There are tools available on the market.
• The tools are expensive.
• My colleagues solve them manually.

However, I found that most of the tools can be easily implemented when designed well. This is the role I am being an System Architect here. Designing a piece of small tool is not hard but it is hard to finding someone to implement it. Most of the time, the someone is me. The user, however, is still me. They usually have no confidence on the home-made tools. Why? Maybe it's not user friendly. However, I think the tools are still good for development purpose.

New Diary

I have stop writing diary for a long time. First, I am busy. Second, it's hard to maintain a site of diary 2-3 years ago. So, now here I am.
