Dinner with meow and camilla

I can only briefly blog. I thought I had the usage of the comp to myself for the whole night, so I took my time to send email, play games, etc.

Now he say he wants to use. Kns. Nevermind also, will blog in more details about what happen at work over last 3 days. Meant to blog them the same day as they happened. But....

Anyway, met up with meow and camilla today for dinner. This date has been decided since very long ago, and I was really highly anticipating meeting them again.

I reasoned that since I got off work at 6, and they at 6.30, I should be even in time to pop by at the office. I thought since it had only been around 1 mth since I've left, it is a good time to return to the old office. If I delay too long a time before I decide to return, it might feel uncomfortably alien.

Then I thought maybe not. Maybe I dont go up. Instead I would wait downstairs and see who would bump into me when they get off work.

Ya lor. Think too much. In the end I was awfully late. Late for one whole hour. I reached around 7.20 instead.

I had been working on adl's proj for the past few days (more details tmr) and I only finished the whole set by around 4pm. While I was doing it, vnc gave me 3 other dwgs to conjure and mentioned that he needs all of them 'NOW'.

I distracted myself from adl's proj. Let's call it 'A' for now. I started working on 'B', a drawing that vnc emphasised he really need it immediately and it had to be sent via email asap.

On top of that, I still have 'C' and 'D' which vnc say he need it soon too. I decided to shelf it and went back to work on 'A' cos adl is going to meet francis the designer a couple of hours later and she need to show this whole set of dwgs to him. Also she would need to meet the client, so she need me to correct a few dwgs so that she can show the client the finalised version.

So that makes 'A' is most important for the moment, and I also have a dwg'Z' that I need to modify after a discussion with the client (adl wanted me to follow her as she meet the client).

While I was still feverishly trying to manage to complete 'A' within the stipulated time, adl came by and dropped dwg'E'. She said she needs 'E' by monday noon, 'Z' by monday after lunch.

ARRGGGGGGHHH.

By the time I completed 'A', it was around 4.30 or so. I know I have to began to work on 'C' (I've decided to shelf 'D' again) but I was really tired after all the extended period of racing against time. Hence I cut myself some slack and sit down and organised all the loose sheets of papers that resulted from the last few projects.

I started to work again slightly after 5. But the task this time round is something that I am not familiar with (but then again, there is nothing in this job that I am familiar with anyway, haha). I stared at it for a while then started to produce the drawing that vnc sketched.

By 5.50 I know I am dead. I was planning to leave on the dot but the dwg is not even 20% completed. Vnc sashayed in and I have no choice but to ask him can I pass him the dwg on monday? I told him I want to leave on time, but still he as usual, 不近人情-ly told me cannot. He wants the dwg NOW.

I ask him what is the difference? He just keep repeating himself like a senile old man that he wants it now, noW, nOW, NOW!

He even 很不择手段的 say if the designer chase him for the dwg he will just give the designer my hp number and ask the designer to haunt me personally. I know he wont do that lah, but from the way he put it, I was guessing the dwg is really required urgently.

So as unwilling as I was, I stayed for an hour to complete the dwg for him then rushed down to meet meow and camilla.

Pissed I am, but yet if I had to postpone all work to monday I know I cannot complete all 4 of them. I accept the workload, I accept needing to put in a lot of time to get the dwgs completed, I accept I need to OT very often.

So if that is the case, if I have so much things to do, why do adl still want to waste my time but keep arranging opportunities to talk/discuss/communicate/whatever sai.
(Blog in detail about this tmr.)

I really dont like to work with adl. Vnc is so amicable and so accomodating towards me. I like my jobscope, I like jsyn, I like mchl, I like vnc, I like ncn, and almost all of them.

I JUST DONT LIKE ADL.


Wah, digressed away from title. If this is a essay exam, I am flunking with extraordinary low grades.

We had dinner at Han's. I thought we previously arranged as swensens and I had been salivating over the thought of swensens icecream. But well...

We talked a lot about work, and I am willing to share happenings of my job cos my team leader vnc is so fun. Back at the last job, I always skimed through my jobscope when people ask. I never like to explain about my last job cos I felt it is quite demeaning and bad-karma-accumulating.

I really like my job leh!

I JUST DONT LIKE ADL.
