WTF sia.... I am really so tired at work man. Need to do so many things... quotations, deliveries, project management, tender interviews, sample boards and what have you.... Sometimes I am just so busy at work that time seems to fly so fast. 0830am reach office.... 10am plus go la kopi at 6th floor.. then its work your ass away all the way liao.... Therefore late lunch or no lunch seems to be a norm in my Mondays to Fridays work schedule... And guess what.. when people seems to be relaxing on their Fridays.... I seem to be even busier than Mondays... Dun know why.. I have noticed this pattern for the past few weeks... and I dun think is bcoz my work piles up.. but is bcoz unexpected stuff just comes in and you need to settle them. I am quite efficient actually ok.... make no mistake about it.... Actually... I like to be busy at work.. keeps me occupied and productive... no time for other worries....
ya right.... why apply cancel apply cancel?? almost a month ago... I purposely took two days leave on Monday and Tuesday to rest and enjoy my long week end.. Guess what ... Consultant call me on Wednesday to collect tender documents for Lucky Tower.. I have just finished my tender quote for Copthorne Orchid Condo... and thought of resting... suddenly Lucky Tower pop out from no where... ok lor.. bo pian... its either I loose this project or I enjoy my long weekend.... so no choice... better take up this project.... so long weekends gone....
Finally managed to complete these 2 tender quotes and submit them on time... Went for Copthorne Tender interview last last Friday at CDL office... ended almost 7pm.... damn it... ppl enjoying their weekend liao and i just left CDL office.. Ok never mind ya... its ok.. work ma.. bo pian...
Finally come this week... Monday blue... so I told myself I am gonna take my 2 days leave this thurs and friday... finally i apply again.. waiting for my manager to approve... yup.. I inform my manager about that application and she understood that i wanted a rest... then come about 1152am... I was handed a fax document dated 14th May 2010 from this consultant.... inside stated "Pls submit your tender clarification together with your sample boards by 17th May 2010 before 12 noon to Ms XXXX "... I tell you... i almost peng san..... What?????? That leaves me only 7 mins to build a sample board... do up my tender clarification and travel to CDL office.... I tell you i almost peng san on my table.. for a minute or so.. i was totally lost..totally stupefied and dumbfounded... my mind just practically went blank bcoz i also dun know what to do and what my manager's reaction will be if she knows this.....
So again.. bo pian lor.... call and beg consultant... Consultant very nice also.. ask me to call CDL project manager to plead for more grace.... Thank God.. today... everyone seems nice... managed to submit my sample board and clarification to their office. But then again.. I was told that the tender interview for this Lucky Tower is on wednesday 10am... Sian liao.. need to cancel my Thurs and Fri leave that i just applied in the morning.. bcoz sure got follow ups and submision to do the next day after Wed's tender interview.... really very knn one... its like a curse....
Haiz... with my leave cancellation again.. i dun know when I can apply for leave again... So busy busy at work such that taking leave to enjoy seems so hard.. want to take MC or urgent leave also need to think what I have to do that day... Well..my birthday is just round the corner in June... so I guess that will be when i am gonna take my well deserved rest.... Yes, rest i need... Yes rest...
Workload on my side is expected to pile up even more over the next few months I suppose... I hope my management will show mercy by employing one more sales guy to help us out... In fact... in my team.. i am the only one that knows about Merten Switches liao.. the others still very unfamiliar and its going to take a few months or even 1 yr plus provided they put some heart in learning Merten switches.... From now till then... I will have to handle or help out most of the Merten enquiries.. really not easy....
The thing that i am most glad is that even my manager had already recognised the fact that I am very very tied up in my schedule already.. compared to those initial days when i just entered Schneider as a newbie... helping my seniors do delivery, sample boards and other errands... haiz... well.. in fact.. it is through all these errands that i picked up quite an amount of knowledge in Clipsal and especially Merten switches.... Those days were quite hectic but essential for my learning experience...
Sian.. today only Monday nia... still got 4 more days to go before another weekend sets...
May the good Lord grant me grace and strength to see me through this torturous week in office....
Ok.. goto finish my snicker bars before i go sleep..nite snack....
Ciao.....
