'Cator Sucks!
Yesterday, our Instant Messaging tool for how many years, SameTime, officially shut down globally. :'( It is now replaced by Microsoft Communicator. We are supposedly to enjoy its added flexibility and other features - you can communicate with MSN, AOL and Yahoo! users, send large files and share programs. Well, supposedly...
This morning, we used 'Cator for the first time for our DM Chat and to say the least, it was problematic. First, everytime there is someone that gets disconnected or his/her status changes (from Active to Idle, for instance) a new window pops up having a second window aside from the original one.
Second, there is a very limited number of characters that you can paste in the chat window. You can't paste all your watchouts in one go. You can't also simply paste your incidents list and status because when you copy it from 'Cator to the excel sheet, its format is different.
Third, sometimes my messages are not received by the person I am talking to. Earlier, I was talking to a Manager from Warsaw. He was woken up by a Critical ticket that was escalated to his group. He asked what the issue is about. I replied:
Enzo [11:32 AM]: this is about "Asia LT dashboard: Huge difference between dashboard data and Analyzer Cubes"
Enzo [11:33 AM]: symphony issue
After 20 minutes or so:
Polish Manager [11:55 AM]: ok. I am not sure what this lack of response means but looks like I therefore had to find an answer myself
Polish Manager [11:55 AM]: I am not happy with thte qulaity of comunication with *Team* though and I will let this know to *Team Leader*.
Polish Manager [11:56 AM]: If I am woken up at 5am my time, I'd expect some reasons behind it and some degree of cooperation
Polish Manager [11:56 AM]: bye
I was shocked since I responded ASAP after he asked his question. After apologizing (Grrrr!) and after I pasted my previous response...
Polish Manager [12:00 PM]: aha - so propbably it's a problem with this hopeless new communication messenger, because I did not get it.
I couldn't agree with you more, Polish Manager! IBALIK ANG ST!

SCENARIO 1: I was really happy when PaoTsin opened in RS. I can eat their Fried dumplings and Hainanese rice forever.
After getting my fried sharksfin meal, me and my teammates went to pantry to have our lunch, Boy from Hell was already seated.
Boy from Hell: "'Di ba may namatay sa PaoTsin?"
Whatdaf*ck! We're not even close! I was so pissed off, pissed off and frustrated at myself because I just stood there, I didn't say anything or even retaliate or said something to that asshole. Grrr!
SCENARIO 2: After being REPped twice, tons of email updates that have finally been sent and dozens of issues resolved, I have finally finished my shift and handed it over to the next. It was only after my super stressful shift that I felt and realized that I was exhausted and starved.
Enzo (Speaking to an officemate): "Karon, kain tayo!"
Boy from hell (Shouting): "KAIN NA NAMAN!"
Hoy! Gago! Unang una sa lahat, hindi kita kausap kaya 'wag kang mag-e-e-epal. Pangalawa, hindi kita close, hindi kita kaibigan, ni hindi ko nga alam apelyido mo at wala akong balak alamin. Gawin mo pa sa akin yan sa susunod at may laptop na babakat sa mukha mo. Wala akong pakialam kung sa opisina kita gulpihin. PAKYU!
