Calling it "a bad day" is an understatement...
Sheesh.
Kainezzz talaga ang mga punyetang mga ka-opisina ko!
Inaaksaya ang oras ko!
Here's what happened:
Lunch meeting extended, they decided to move the 2pm meeting to 4pm.
Fine. Not a problem.
Then at 1pm, I got an MSN message telling me that the Thai word I used was not really appropriate... duh?! How should I know??? I asked them about it 2 weeks ago when I was writing the proposal... they said it was okay, thus I applied it to all the creative materials.
I really got pissed off. I started 'nagging' them. But still fine... I can revise it quickly.
I sent it the revisions 15 minutes after they told me about their comment. Ganda diba?
So I went back to writing other proposals... and eventually decided to leave at 3pm. Traffic is terrible. I called my officemates (they were at the other office) to instruct the cab driver where to go.
I arrived client's office 3:55pm. Oh ok... I can still buy Blue Mountain Coffee and smoke. Great. I was feeling really sleepy after all the traffic.
After smoking I called and asked where they are... "Oh we are about to leave now"
WHAT THE FUCK?! About to leave for a 4pm meeting at 4pm?!
Ano sila si Darna? wala silang bato ok...
At hindi rin sila pwedeng mag-orb dahil hindi naman sila white-lighter!
So I said, "Ok I'll wait here. Make sure you call your client... that you will be late"
Oo daw, nasabihan na nila yung client. And so of course I said in a slight shout: "Well you should have informed me that you are running late! This is such a waste of my time! I still have so many things to do!"
Nakakairita diba???
At eto ka... dumating after 40 minutes. Pero ito pa ang catch...
"Lara, I'm sorry. But we can't present to client today. We saved the wrong file."
Utang na loob! Hindi na nga nila kailangan mag-isip eh!
Ng over!!!
Hay. Well, I guess that's really just what I have to put up with. But of course I still made talak to them. I wouldn't just let them get away with it. As a matter of fact I think may continuation pa ang sermon ko.
On the bright side, I was able to finish the template design of Nathan's Blog while watching Love Actually on Star Movies at comforts of my own home.
