Push to the limit

A long time ago, when people asked me why I wanted to work abroad, I would say it's because I wanted to gain experience working in international environment. To work together with people from other countries, and also to prove that I'm as good as them. I thought it would be very interesting experience in my life. Well, it is indeed.
Nevertheless, I forgot one thing. Working with those people means working with people who are coming from different cultures. They have different way of thinking, acting, working, and how to communicate.
And often they use their own way toward the others (I often do that too).
What could happen then?
You could feel being pushed to the limit :(

Lesson learned:
1. be careful to what you wish
2. be strong (it doesn't mean that you should stick to your way, but be strong if the others treat you like you're one of them)
3. never take everything into your heart (maksudnya, jgn dibawa ke perasaan..)
4. kalo bos ngomel2 gak jelas: tampak mendengarkan tapi masuk telinga kiri keluar telinga kanan (biar ga stres sendiri)

Terakhir,
SEBELLLL bgt sama bos kalo dia ngomong sambil ngedumel ngomel2 ngalor ngidul gak jelas! Bilang aja kek baik2 maunya apa.. gak perlu pake nada ngomel2 gak jelas gitu.
Kalo gak inget gue lagi dimana, dah gue tinggalin langsung tuh ruangan miting tanpa ngomong apa2. Serius, gue dah sampe kepikir buat mo lgs keluar ruangan gitu.. :p *lgs membayangkan, bos sama supervisor gue pasti lgs bengong*
Hmm.. tapi mungkin itu ide bagus juga sih. Cuma caranya hrs dilakukan dgn lebih sopan.
Di tengah dia ngedumel ga karuan dan gue dah ga tahan, gue akan berdiri dan bilang: "sorry, I've to take a break, I need fresh air before we can continue again." Then just walk away before he can even say something :D
(tipikal high context bgt ya gue? hehehe)
