Amazing Race vs Corporate World !!!

Coming to 2 months into new job !!! A "Ponder" last week, more will come as more hell is expected. Maybe not as hell as this week but probably different kind of hell. Before you start implementing something, probably you get some leeway to dily daly, cho bos ( If you have only that something to do ), but as the leeway gets shorter or those dust swept under the carpet gets discovered, then hell starts.

It seems that the vicious cycle follows doesn't matter where you go, difference is the intensity of the viciousness. Humans is the weakness, all kinds of characters, when mixed together, may combust, spark, ignite, no reaction, taiji, ti xiao etc.

Now I know where amazing race get the brilliant idea, from the cruel, realistic, idiotic, KT corporate world.

AR Detour
2 tasks. 1 looked easy but probably take longer time to complete. The other seems hard or unorthodox but could be key if you somehow can complete it.
CW Detour
Example, you might need to translate existing to new. To do that, you are given a huge sets of numbers/configuration to digest, and an area which probably you are not expert in. You can do it alone, probably can do it but longer time. Or you can ask someone who is more familiar for help and of course usually shorter and more accurate.
CW Detour Reality Check
Since it is huge, people ignore or assume someone already taking care of it. When reality check, "Eh, seems like no one is really looking into this wor", then come panic, last min, get help, etc.
The hard part is getting someone more familiar to help from the beginning.

AR Route Marker
These are in between destinations that gives you further instructions, supposedly moves you forward.
CW Route Marker
These comes in the form of meetings, emails, conference calls, etc.
CW Route Marker Reality Check
These will only be useful if the people involved in these are actually performing the actual physical tasks itself. Example, 10 people might be attending the meeting or 20 people in the email either "To" or "Cc", but only 2 persons are actually doing the physical work.

AR Yield
It is a chance for a team to stop another team for a period of time.
CW Yield
These are external factors you are diffiult to control which lengthen your time to perform a task.
CW Yield Reality Check
For a simple task, you could be detered by several issues. Sometimes it just drains you off and make no logical sense.

AR RoadBlock
A task where only 1 member can perform.
CW RoadBlock
This is very common due to reason that people not doing the actual task simply ignores or had no choice but to pray that God, Allah, Buddha, or luck whoever will aid.
CW RoadBlock Reality Check
There is only so much 1 person can perform at any given time. Even David Copperfield need to cancel his show in Singapore when he is strucked with a sexual legal tussle.

AR Fast Forward
An option for teams to use. If somehow a team finds a FF, they can use it to skip all tasks.
CW Fast Forward
Escalate. If a certain task really do not move, people escalate. It could because you really do not have the skill or not within your jurisdiction.
CW Fast Forward Reality Check
The more levels, politics, humans it involved, the harder escalation is. If I can TXTG, why would I attempt to put extra effort and probably will get negative impact in the end.

AR Pit Stop
Destination. Every team must reach here no matters what unless probably if you "Kong Ka Kiao".
CW Pit Stop
It is a major milestone or the actual end. You will reach here no matter during the journey, how much stress, how much tired, how much grievance suffer, how much KTness, etc.
CW Pit Stop Reality Check
Why reach here in such a KT manner if you can do it "Free & Easy" ? I have the answer to this. Very much simply that you can never do it "Free & Easy" !!!!!
