Work tip: Extensions.

While some of busy people hate extensions, we cannot lie about not liking it somehow. Have you wish something like that? Well I do love extensions! Who wouldn't want an extended vacation?

I have thought about why when we added something or where when a part therein is added aside from the existing, is called as extension?

Well ex means something that is not, or without or, it was yours before but not now.

And tension means on my subject in mechanics and deformable bodies, it is an opposing similar force of reaction resisting to the acting load. It could be the force acting to resist the load in string you used as a support on your hangers to hold the weight of your clothes tight. Lol.

Well in some sort of work or discussion tension, is the building grounds where, everyone is acting very haggard stress because a lot of deadlines to meet in a very limited time. Tight schedules and such.

Well I kind of wonder why it was named as extension? Maybe, extension means removing the tension from a very tight schedules. I'm kind of getting stupid here. Lol. But yah. Let me dive and stop blabbering about extension because there is no deeper meaning about it but an added to the whole thing. Or maybe it has? Lol. Tell me it does not. Stupid Meyzee.

Heres why I am kind of talking about extension.

I am very happy today as I've got a good talk with the client awhile ago. He had given me a two day tight schedule last monday, and I was confused what to do and my two day schedule is nearly over and the problem is I cannot finished one of his demands. The former in charge of the project failed to discuss to me some of the issues concerning conflict about the cabinets and lighting fixtures. Apparently, the furniture supplier, already installed the furniture, even before the client realized that he wanted light decorations in his cabinets. The one when you opened the cabinet door the lights will automatically on. Not going to be more technical here. So I don't have a supply of current, no wires and all.

So my problem lies, how to finish the installation of the lighting, and how will I be able to put a supply of current in such an limited time.

And the requisite are, making a hole on the furniture, and creating access or manhole to trace and get a supply of current on the ceiling. While our ceiling was already finished it might take two to three days before I could make things right, repair and clean all the damages, and includes an extended working time.

So I was at fault not to noticed and recheck all the area before accepting the project. That is why I am all to be blame, so I need to create a better solution, discuss the situation to the client, and forget about complaining, or I'd be roasted like the chicken in Inasal. Roasted with curses. Lol. And lastly I have to make a proposition and insist that I am not only at fault. In a constructive way.

So it should be like that. As a shy talker as I am, I build up all the courage I have and talked it out with the client. I told him stories of this and that, and the rest is history. Until he realize that I wanted to request an extension. And he got what I wanted. Lol. He agreed with my proposal, though there's so much mocking happened, I am still happy to say that I feel like I am having an extended vacation. Lol. Though I have an extended work. But sti I am grateful for it. That would help me a lot in executing the conflicts and ease all the tension I have been feeling since day 1.

So If you were on my situation what would you do? During interviews I am always asked of what are the decision you have made today and what was the impact of it? Did you succeed? Or one of the interview was, what was the thing you suggest and got accepted? Do you always proposed two situations one will make you work fast and to your advantage and insist it, and the other one was just a mere option, just so you could got the first option?

Sharing you a work tip yah!

So is there any better solution you could give me? Basing on my story, is there any analization you could suggest?

My work tips are;

1. Check everything before accepting a job. Don't easily signed the turnover papers. Ugh. Always my dilemma.

2. Stay calm, relax, think and create solution.

3. Make two or three options, and insist the one in favor of you.

4. Talk it out, raise your concerns, don't let your worry consume you. It won't help.

5. Always remember in every problem, there lies a solution. Unless, its Math error! Thats not a problem its error! Char. Haha
