Thunderstorms...

I had my first MD review on the work the team did this past month. After looking through my presentation, he asked one question: "What is the value you have added to our client?"

My project manager chipped in to defend, explaining that indeed there was only limited room for value adding etc. But I was speechless. The brutal truth was... indeed not much.

Did I do my job poorly? Probably not, or otherwise my manager would have picked up on me earlier. But just so suddenly, I felt disillusioned. Am I really able to add value to clients? Is it the fundamental nature of my job? or perhaps this particular project is unique?

Uncertainty, unanswered questions...

========================================

Once again, I waited over 1hr for a taxi which I ordered. After some time, the driver actually called and said "5 minutes more" (not bad, or so I thought!). I was naive enough go wait in the carpark but he came... 30 minutes later :(

Haiz.... why can't he just give me a truthful estimate? **Kick myself for being stupid**

Yes, I'm slowly getting numb to long wait times, and now even to false estimates. But seriously, it would REALLY make life nicer if there is a solution to this transport problem...
