Work Rant & others

I've not had a good time at work this week... probably bcos I got wind that I will not have an assistant and I shall have to slog my time away while I am still with them... unfair, every manager has one and I dun get mine... worse is when the public annoys you with all the nonsense questions that they have and try to smoke their way through by having small chat with you... sorry peeps, not gonna work, i dun call the shots...

the worst part of it that the roadshow was a disaster... no wet weather plan... RULE no 1: ALWAYS PLAN FOR WET WEATHER!! what is so difficult to get a few umbrellas or extend the tentage for the public? Lack of budget? Then put the damn thing inside... dun be at the mercy of the weather. PERIOD. My mood was super lousy when I got back to work, drenched, soaked to the skin like a silly cat and filled with tonnes of administrative things to do bcos of the lack of plans... good lesson learnt... u dun do your work well, u earn all the extra work.... and oh, did i tell u i pissed off almost all my colleagues cos they were simply not bothered and not interested in knowing how to answer the public... share the load ppl.. what is so difficult about knowing more your own event? so yes, i was pissed and ppl were pissed with me...

now that i barely finished the admin work that came from yesterday's disaster, i forsee more nonsense waiting for me on my desk, in my inbox, and in the form of post-its on my wall... where is my assistant who is supposed to do all these? nowhere to be seen... sigh.... oh, i had a session with my boss this morning and told her wat happened yesterday... in her little subtle way, she tried to defend her team, tell me such things happened before.. and my reaction was, so? make sure such things dun ever happen again... how to be professional like that?

However, something did go right this week... Cubix and I took part in a slimming contest and I won the 3rd prize... its a 3 mth contest for local ppl.. and whoever lost the most wins... i didn;t really put in an effort i must say, i just did wat i normally did and so this came as a surprise to me... and yes, it felt good... and it felt better that cubix was there with me to share my joy cos she would understand how tough the process was like and how we motivated each other... =)

Cubix shared with me her career path too that night... finally she has decided to go for something that she has the passion for... I'm glad it worked out fine for her. =) I'm sure she will have tonnes of fun at the course and then when both of us have our careers on a stable stage, we can go have high tea like tai tais do and make sure jewellery shop owners bring us their most expensive jewellery to pick from... Fighting! =)

P.S Nephew is sick again.. apparently having hand foot mouth disease.. so poor thing...
