I mentioned in my previous post that while we were in India, we were having meetings during dinner. Isa sa mga topics naman ay kung paano namin maaayos ang current firefighting situation namin, lagi pang delayed dahil sa totoo lang e poor planning. Anyway yung top bossing namin 3 libro ang binabasa nya tungkol sa bagong methodology na gustong nyang i-adapt namin. Talaga naman para ko uling nakaupo sa CMSC 121 (automata) namin, yung puro theoretical?

O sige at least iniisip ko hindi ako ang kelangang magbasa. I only get the summary & the “juicy” portions.

Tapos on several occasions, at least 4 of them would quote from 1 or 2 books that they’ve read. Merong fan base sa amin si Joel Spoolsky. Saka may binili daw yung CEO namin na libro na sobrang ganda tipong topic namin sya sa breakfast, sa van on the way to work, sa work, sa van on the way to the hotel, sa dinner, sa plane… sa panaginip ko… Pero totoo naman this last book is a good read, by definition a good read to me is naaaliw ako, my head doesn’t ache with too many concepts I don’t understand. In short hindi sya textbook.

Then last week I have a surprise waiting on my desk! Guess what? Merong librong nag-aantay sa akin na binili ni top bossing. Hindi ko pa nga tapos yung “world is flat” e!

I know I should be grateful because I can only improve with all these learning. Pero ayoko ng pinupwersa sa akin yung ganitong babasahin lalo na at wala naman akong downtime sa opisina to read an effing textbook. Ibig sabihin “read it at your leisure” e yun na nga ginagawa ko sa libo-libong (exag) requirement ducments namin ‘no.

So after a week, nagiging pabigat lang ‘tong librong ito sa akin. Grrr.
