have yet to master the art of working both efficiently and competently... still some kinda trade off for me as i tend to spend more time to ensure that quality doesn't suffer... but sometimes realize that certain things you have to race against time... and things just can't be as good as you want them to be... which leads me to another point-- i find it rather disturbing how in an attempt to get things cleared, we sometimes have to compromise on details... one wonders what happens downstream if things aren't well thought-through enough? how do diff organizations make decisions? top management ppl can't always be right also... yet seems like subordinates usually wun question excessively. just do. how can like that. why like that. will i eventually become like that. or am i already like that...
