Some workflow links I’ve found.
[This is a video demo on how to create a workflow from scratch. Looks very easy to do! Account and pwd needed]

Training and being arrowed
Act 1:
Training dept offered courses;I happily signed up for SD module and Workflow, only to find out that they were online courses. I'll have to sit though a flash tutorial and take tests online. This has to be done during office hours, after lunch.
-.-"
What for? I want out!
Act 2:
Maybe someone made more noise than me as the online courses were scrapped. They offered courses to us from SAP instead. Happy! Colleague told me to advise her on schedule. Asked me take a SD course and an ABAP course. I replied that I'll take the SD course but will skip on the ABAP - it's too easy for me.
Act 3:
"I think we have a misunderstanding", she said. This is the colleague who taiji-ed the KL training to Jess; I have since gotten to know her and liked her. What she wanted was that I read off the SAP site and tell her the courses I want. I happily fought through the lousy-joke-of-a-website-by-a-leading-software-developer and came out with the information half an hour later. (The designer ought to be sent back to school)
Act 4:
she: What are these?
me: These are the courses I want.
she: then the other courses?
me: I'm not interested in them.
she: but I wanted you to choose...
Oh...
She wanted me to shortlist the SD (Sales & Distribution), MM (Materials Management) and ABAP Programming courses for my colleagues. As the official SAP site is a pain in the neck to read, let alone navigate, she out-sourced the job to me and Jess. Arrowed again.. -.-"
Oh well, no problem. Just a copy and paste job. No one can have the co-operation of my heart without my consent.

Work update for Jan 2008
[Colleagues]
Have gotten with better terms - with Colleague-not-on-speaking-terms and the colleague who tai-ji-ed the KL trip planning. Think I can only dislike one person at one time...
[HR]
DG warned some of us against being late. I find this to be an annoyance - that we are tracked and probably graded by this. I'll make it a point to leave on the dot then...
[work]
A hectic week after my return to work. Now it tapers off to a relaxed pace. I hope Beanbear comes back soon...

In Cloud 9
Being in the clouds isn't what I thought it would be.
I'm like a person who's struck with a case of lycanthrophy: A programmer pretending to be a System Analyst by day; Someone else with reduced mental abilities at night.
Problem is, I won't have it any other way; Humans are such self destructive creatures.
My social and army obligations are going to catch up with me. It's a good time for a test and an adjustment.

Everything my pa sa #1
[edited for mistake. Susan changed to Sally]
A bit cannot tahan my situation. Just because all business process start from sales; all problems naturally becomes mine.
Just yesterday, I was assigned a ticket. Upon contacting the user, I had to log on to a server I have not come across before.
"Er, are you sure it's me?"
"Yes, you support XYZ division, don't you?"
...
I approached the basis team and my colleague concluded that a program change has to be done.
"So you'll be doing the change"
"Why me? I thought you support this server?"
"You're developer ma"
...
Just like that, a new developer account was created for me. I logged in with this account, took a look at the codes and saw a jungle. I can't do this.
"Who's this Sally?"
"Why?"
"I see that she has changed this code before, maybe it's under her"
"Ya, you can try contacting her"
"Hi Sally, I got this problem. Blah blah blah"
"Sure, add me into the ticket"
Wow! This is a first in this company! Someone actually offered to take over a task from me! Impressed.
"JW, why are you taking this ticket?"
"Er, cos it came to me?"
"It belongs to Sally, you don't have to do it"
...
"Ok, thanks"

Ulterior motives
I asked LaLa why she's sad recently. She replied she's upset because people treat her well only because they want something out of it. I'm not sure how to console her for I believe that is the truth of things.
In StarTrek TNG, there was an episode that left a deep impression in me. Data the android, aspires to be human. When a colonist that he befriended expressed interests in joining StarFleet, he went out to help her. She noted that in her colony, everyone does things for a purpose. It was good to have a friend that does not do things for ulterior motives. Data replied with a straight face (as android does), that he does have an ulterior motive - her continued presence on-board the starship; Which prompted Natasha Yar to hide her face.
None of us can be as innocent as an android that's devoid of emotions, yet he does have a good point. We all have motives in doing things. Even for seemingly selfless acts, the giver receives a feeling of happiness in return.
And because I like my junior, I'm going to cheer her up. The coinage is our friendship - or rather, for her to like me (as a friend - I'm in a tricky situation here). The line is rather thin.

3 days and 2 nights
A last minute whim and a last minute change of plans made this possible. We made the arrangements and kept the trip secret from certain parties.
Shopping was awfully disappointing but we managed to spend a lot of time together. At midnight, we popped the sparkling juice; This time, she didn't pull away.
Happy new year, dear.
p.s. What is read here, stays here.
