slosh down the pepper!

L O S T

I think I have too much questions. I bothered my mentor several times in a day. I supposed he became sort of frustrated and replied to me: "Read the manual.". I am lazy to read manuals to find answers myself. But this time round, I did read the manual before emailing him, unless he was refering to another manual. :-(

I still have tons of questions, but I don't dare to approach Mentor further, at least not today. But a branch staff called up and wanted to know the procedures to apply for recurring giro arrangments under the Everyday Card. I called up Mentor; he didn't pick up his call. He was busy with someone else at his desk. Or maybe he didn't want to answer my call. I emailed Mentor again. I had second thoughts after i pressed "send", so I went to ask my colleague.

Happy to receive an answer, I went back to my desk and gave the branch lady a call, advising her accordingly. Mentor actually emailed back. This time, with a proper answer, disparate to that of my colleague's. I forwarded the email to my colleague. She must have thought I shouldn't have asked her if I didn't trust her advice. But that was not what I had in mind. I had something more evil. I wanted to expose the gap in understanding between different parties. I succeeded halfway in achieving my evil plan, and even more to annoy my colleague. And Mentor.

I feel lost and hapless. I am so out of touch. I need to improve at a progressive, systematic rate. I must learn to read thick stacks of paper and multitudes of lines. I need a real teacher.

Or maybe I just need to reverse my mistake.
