    after many applications sent
    after going thru those interviews.. (some are horrible and ridiculous)
    after so many prayers
    i've finally got a new place to work... hooraaayyy!!!

    it's been a month now at the new place
    most of my new colleagues are young.. so, it isn't so hard to get along with them
    they are quite welcome too ..

    but i learn something new here
    well, my boss is a 'system' and 'detail' freak
    what i think is, the system build around here reduces the organization agility and speed
    for example, we're not allowed to bring personal harddisk, uses others PC, and get data from other projects without approval from my div head

    I also had a shock on my second update to my boss. I was trusted to be a team leader for a project. It was really a big opportunity for me, so I put my best effort and time to get it right. When I handed to him just one slide of questions list for the interviews... he practically put me in the corner... and telling what I should do... which... I already did... but he was much more concentrated on what I did wrong then what I had done right...
    It was a big disappointment for me.
    Well, it turned out that I'm not the only one. I have some colleagues who feel the same too.
    What I feel, he has this energy to dominate people... not energizing people.
    I mean, all his talking about making the quality of life at work is bullshit to me.

    One of my colleague said, here there's always a sense of crisis .. for a reason that a book of "Mestakung" by Johannes Surya mentions..
    well, i've never read the book Mestakung.. but after I've heard from my other friend about the book.. I think this place has a wrong implementation of the book's essence.

    I mean, this organization is full with rules, documents, and adminstration works that doesn't really matter. So many efforts and time taken for things which don't have big impacts for the organizations.

    Well, I think this place should see itself differently. We are partners.. we don't put ourselves higher than other divisions.
    This division must know the whole complete picture of the company.
