My feeling mixture

This week which is ending tomorrow was a week of many feelings.

I felt frustrated when I knew earlier this week that I had to travel to Singapore because it was rather last minute. I was included in the travelling plan only later because the big boss felt that I need to go to Singapore to conduct a training which total up to about 2 hours. Boy, I do feel so important! And he told me to look at how the market roll out for is done, which later he said he didn't say that he told me to do so. Okay, so just training, and perhaps additional training - which of course no one got to organize due to last minute.

Sigh. So tired of rolling my eyes.

This Singapore trip is the reason why I will have to miss the dinner which LGM is planning for next Wednesday. Still planning?

On Friday, I was flaming during an early morning discussion with the GM and appeared to be fiery TTB the whole day then after. Some times the senior management just like to execute their brilliant ideas last minute. Do they know that people "down there" had to run around like mad in order to support that brilliant idea in question? There is this management that I happen to know has certain high expectation on the efficiency of their staff BUT they so happened to also have implemented this system and SOP which restrict their staff to be able to deliver what the management wants instantly. Hey, there are forms to be filled out, data to be entered, documents to be sent to suppliers, information to be updated BEFORE our hands can actually be on the case physically. And who told us that we must use the system?

Sigh. So tired of the management's directions(sssss).

This morning I was between laughing and screaming at the supplier (who had called me on my non-working Saturday, but it's okay, he's being responsible) who told me the artwork I gave him was in a COMPLETELY different colour. Trust me, that's how he'd expressed that word, underlined, bold and loud. Haiyo, so I asked, what? Instead of green it is in... PINK??? He said no, just different shade of green. Arghhh... yes, your designer DO adjust the colour prior to printing to meet our colour tone. Thankyouverymuch for calling.

Sigh. Please lah stop exaggerating, I already have my big boss doing that, no need for anyone else to also do that.

Okay... to complete the mixture, I do have some happy notes. Vary Pasta was opened and I'd successfully went for lunch with LGM, BO was there "coincidentally" too just before we left the place. The food was okay, I was told the cabonara I ordered was one of the not so nice ones on the menu, but it was great having LGM there so that I had someone to complain to about work. My mid-week break.

And the other happy note was lunch with MFG was on too. A lunch that had given my feeling mixture a good mix of flavours... My lunch journey started off with me contemplating whether to invite my other colleague to come along. Hesitated till the last second before I left the office and I left alone. Then I was lost. Hmm... I couldn't find my way to the restaurant in 1U that he said we were meeting. And just when I was standing at the cross road (figure of speech) I got a text from him asking "are you lost?" haha... I was indeed! After some more direction in that text message, though it beats me how he knew I was lost, I still couldn't find. At last I got a call from him saying that he just saw me because I just walked passed him. Hey, how can that be? Ohh... apparently I walked passed him but I was one floor below him. Okay, don't ask.

So finally, lunch time! But I wasn't hungry, moreover, I was and have been having gastric. But doesn't matter what I eat or how my stomach felt, I could still strangely feel the butterflies that were fluttering in my stomach. Hey, it was just MFG who I've known for more than 2 years, what's with the butterflies?! And I can't even explain that occasionally long stare he gave me. Oh, one explanation - it was just my imagination.

Sigh. A sigh of relief that it's weekend, too bad Saturday is over now and I only have one more day before the torturous business trip commences. Let me first catch up with sleep...
