Do you have the urge to do so sometime?
I had and that started when boss came back from his manilla trip. I had to photocopy, scan and bind all documents for all people in the office. Thought it would be rather easy but when you encountered printer problem, life became a nightmare. Paper jam and scanned doc became corrupt file. I walked to and fro the printer just to get things done. Called out for SOS but everyone was busy to the max and some didn't know how to troubleshoot that printer. So I read manuals and fiddled with buttons. Tried calling the printer technician but he was away. And so, I became a technician, trying to fix scan folder, paper jam, ink toner, fax machine and photocopying problems.
Then came the most tiring thing, the photocopying and binding of double-sided documents. The printer kept showing error and I had a hard time to ensure it print double-sides. Then when I was 2/3 done, he approached me to say he preferred it one-sided. I nearly pengz.
Another tricky thing is the answering of weird calls and trying to get things done before I transfer calls to the exact person. There was a call from US and I heard something like "I am marc and I would like Pauline to know of this rRRRRRrrgrr." The phone reception was poor and I couldn't hear..coupled by some miscommunication and tada, I ended his call automatically, couldn't be bothered la. Indian accent also another chui one but prefer it rather than some ang moh rap accent. Made some last minute arrangement for hotel check-in and restaurant reservation. Luckily the customer service officer was kind enough to make arrangement or else I sure die liaoz. While my manager had to handle a more tough task to make last minute flight arrangement and cancellation. Other than that, it was rather nuah in office. Working in CBD and taking the lift and train with OL people are taxing. The way they walk is like rushing to give birth and the way they dressed is too smart to be true. But perhaps is a good exposure ba. Seriously, working at Setsco and Jefferies are two compleely different world.
Received the poly graduation letter. If only the word "congratulation" in the letter could be in another letter. If only..only if. I am still waiting patiently but felt a little pessimistic and paranoid lately. Did qin ming visit yesterday and I felt a sudden serenity. I want life to be like this and I don't want to live each day as if my water bag has burst and I need to give birth soon. But ya..my smelly feet, that wouldn't happen unless I went for some retreat in a suburb area.
Some pics to share, the sky was sort of downcast but I could see the expanse view of clark quay to boat quay and to city hall.
