Balancing Act 2004 (Singapore)

(Hahahahaha, I'm hilarious, I know...)

Well here I sit, again doing nothing. Except it's 10 in the morning and I'll be very bored for the whole day if this situation persists.

This happened yesterday, and I solicited a few (ok ok, ONE) people (person!) for work and got the knock back, so I thought, screw it, I'll check my email and surf the net for a bit, then go bug the partner. However, in the midst of my surfing, the partner came in and cast a swift glance at my comp screen and my rather laden task bar, at which I blurted..."So! Is there anything for me to do?", to which he responded nonplussedly to his credit "Yes, there are things to do."

Aaaanyway, my constant dilemma is this: do I go bug him for work or do I sit here idling until someone gives me something? On one hand I feel terrible always knocking on his door to ask for things to do because the times I've done it, he's had to dig something up for me (and this process culminated in me receiving a very very large file to "familiarise myself with"- and thus keep me out of his hair for a bit!). On the other hand, I'm sure they don't want me sitting here using their resources to my own ends!

Well the situation has now been remedied since I got another portion of the file dumped on my desk...still, it was nice to rant about it =)

Til next time!
