One Whole Hectic Week...

To begin, i gave my condolences to one of my colleagues first...

How hectic can my week be...???

2-5 hours per day...
Running here & there, looking n searching for items...
I need to run, yet i still need to double up my time, to do priority stuffs during office hours...
Wake up in the middle of the night, to pick up calls...
Basically, my life gone upside down...

On last sunday, i went back company, to do my tender stuffs... I still hve many untouch parts which i hope to complete it... And tis return, prove to be a veri bad caught...

My company is doing the IMF job for Changi, to welcome plp from all other countries to visit our island... So tis is a huge job... It is so huge tat it is so cockup... The whole production is like one whole mess, n since i'm the onli graphics ard, thet kept asking mi wif questions wif i dun even noe wat r they... Due to tat, i hve to call tis n tat, to ask for instructions... As a result, i unintentionally let my Head Of Sales to noe tat i'm in office... Thus, i became her "middle man" to oversee everything, to ensure tat wat she need tonight, is all done, so as they r able to produce n install in the night... A lot of to-and-fro communication is done... The whole of tis grand job is not even done by mi... It is initially in charge by my department senior designer... During tis busy week, he should be the one, doing tis "middle man" job... Coz he had been doing tis job since the start... So he is the better choice to be tis "middle man"... However, his brother in Malaysia, had an accident and passed away... Thus he need to quickly return home... Having him leaving at such a crucial time, my Head Of Sales is like totally lost... And Boss wants mi to come temporary for one week to the morning shift to take over the senior designer's job... And tis is where my heavy hectic week starts...

IMF@Changi is so confusing... And still i need to help Head Of Sales to clear my job's artwork... Basically, tis is her (Extreme) high peak period week, which there's a lot of things tat need to be going out... She had almoz 600 banners need to go out... And i had to follow up and help her to do many stuffs... OMG...

To make the life worse... The communication between "Key personnels" in tis IMF@ Changi job, is so poor... There is so many miscommunication problems, which installer kept on insisting tat they dun hve something, need to go for reprint, yet i'm so certain tat i printed it and labelled it wif numbers n my sigature...

Wat makes mi so angry is the so-called Prod Manager, which is like a useless bum to my eyes, in tis week... The job of finding stuffs in ur department, should be ur job, not my job... Yet i ended up doing tat... And tis asshole juz everytime make his disappearance... Angry...

On Thursday nitz, i even stay until 2:30 am to wait for the installer to come back company again to take the stuffs... I make every sure, they take the necessary stuffs.. And explained to them, why those items r needed... I searched the items, put them in places tat i noe... Ensuring they dun miss out any items tat they didn't collect... Yet, i still hear missing items on Friday...

Leaving company at 2:30am, reaching home at 3:00am, sleep at 3:30am... Yet my mobile still rings after tat... I noe tis is a big n complicated job... So i tell them, if they got any problem, or doubt any missing items, pls call mi regardless i'm sleeping or not... And i told my Mom to call mi, if she hear my mobile rings...

On Friday, is really the last day... We had no more allowances or excuses to give to the client for any lateness... And tat's why tis time, i labelled every items wif numbers, which r arrnge based on a revised list... A lot of monitoring is done... Yet i still hve many jobs, regardless changes saved jpeg, printing proof, color-matching, printing actual and visuals... All i muz do it in the place for my tis senior designer...

My head is like suddenly cramped wif so many things tat i had to cope it wif out of sudden... And one mistake occur, yet i fail to realised it until Friday... Oops... I done a wrong bleed file and send for printing... And i printed 1XX number of banners, which when i realised it, i almoz fainted... Regardless, i still report to the Head Of Sales, and the only solution tat we can do at tat time, is to reprint the 1XX number of banners ASAP... Tis is a veri fatal mistake, which can make my whole day mood collapsing... My afternoon mood is like way too low... Yet, when back to work, i still function well, coz i noe Friday is reali the last day n last chance liao...

On Sat, Head Of Sales highlighted my mistakes to Boss, and Boss noe it... He went to production there to check for the wrongly bleeded banners... Den he returned back office, walk pass by mi, and say, make tis as a lesson... Den i "Orrr...", leaving myself a little suspend, whether is he going to deduct my pay or not...??? However, i'm a rather quick forgotten person, so i forget abt tis veri soon, n engage in my work to get the things done asap...

In afternoon, during one of my conversation wif Head Of Sales, she says she been wanting to thank mi for my cooperation wif her and fast picking up wif her pace for tis week... Her tis week is like a war week, and her personal designer happened to be away for family matters... And she is like veri lost... She said if it is another person helping her for tat week (Je*e*y)... She might hve gone crazy... ... I remember her telling mi the word appreciation for more den three times in tat conversation... Den she mentioned abt the mistakes tat i done for tat 1XX banners, which cost Boss almoz $2XXX... But Boss says he will absorb the cost for himself for tat losses... I immediately tink of "OMG.." followed quickly by "Heng"... Tis is the second time tat Boss didn't ask mi to pay for my mistakes liao... :P Next Head Of Sales asked mi abt if i'm satisfied wif working night, and will like to switch to day shift anot...??? She oso mention abt if i will like to be a in-charge person... I gave her a veri neutral answer... She said Boss is going to revamp my department soon... YES! For those tat do not noe yet... My used-to-be Manager, is no longer my department Manager liao...

Wat i done for tis week... I dun tink i'm the person tat do things for the purposes of asking benefits... I'm juz the kind of person, tat dun like to shear away responsibilty to others, to sabo plp to do dirty job, when i should be the better person to do the follow up...

I tot i can rest quietly tmr at home, yet lanlan, still need to go down wif one of my Sales colleagues to some place for "so-called" recee... And perhaps i need to drop back office to do one actual sending oso... Haiz...

Tired & shag, and i hope my For Leaves will help mi...
