Yah, I know I said about wanting to blog about my last week's work in detail, how I contemplated quitting repeatedly, and how I still decide to stay because all other colleagues are too nice.
I forgot to blog about it the moment I bought my z520i. Now the anger/whatever emotions are saturated already.
I hope I can still recall what I want to say.
It started on wed. Adl told me she need me to attend a meeting with a designer with her and we need to confirm colour scheme with the designer.
She asked me to gather materials, and half of the stuff cannot be found. Half the reason here is because I dunno what materials can be replaced by similar looking materials, and when I cant find my stuff, adl would just go fishing and dig out pieces and pieces of similar materials.
How the fuck am I supposed to know can anyhow take similar looking materials to pass off as the real thing? And how the fuck am I supposed to find similar looking suspects when I never even get to see the real McCoy before?
So eventually we went to see the designer. I am actually quite surprised that I need to do such meetings because I dont remember that was my jobscope.
My memory is full of small and irrelevant information. I do think I was never informed that I need to do such meetings of clients/designers.
I discussed with mchl and he said that from what he understand, I do have to attend those meetings. It is also beneficial for me because I can listen to the client's/designer's intention directly and I would be able to complete my work faster w/o needing to ask for confirmation with adl.
That I agreed, but that didnt stop me from confirming with vnc.
Vnc said he did tell me during the interview. He said that he did informed that I would need to follow the sales person out so that I can gather information to facilitate my job. He asked me why? I told him nothing la. I cant recall, so I am just asking. He asked me am I having any problems? I explained I am to follow adl out to meet a designer soon, and I am worried that the designer would ask me qns that I cant answer.
He laughed and said if the designer have any qn he would have asked adl. And I just need to be there to help remember informations. I enquired if adl is ever not free what will happen? Vnc assured me if adl cant make it, he would come along with me.
He convinced me that I will never be stranded alone.
If he can say that, what else need I worry? I ask myself. So I happily went to attend the meeting with adl and at the meeting, adl told the designer we would go back to the office to finalise the confirmation board and I would bring it back for him to sign.
Fair enough. If I only need to bring it back for him to sign is ok to me. I am just worried I might need to do persentation of some sort and when the designer ask me qn I cant answer. If it is just a simple act of bring the board, it doesnt matter.
My happiness was of course shortlived.
Back at the office, adl tried to explain to me how to do the confirmation board. Until she got to parts like "for this confirmation you have to bring this set of samples for him to choose tmr" and "check with francis is ## colour is ok with him".
There was a lot of things that arent confirmed yet and it looks like I would need to meet the designer alone and explain things to him.
I tried to explain I cant do it cos I know there would be a lot of things that I wont know how to answer, but adl kept insisting that meeting client/designers alone is part of my job scope and I should begin to get use to it.
I began to feel absolutely pissed and I told adl I need to bring my notebook so that I can take down notes. I walked back to my desk wanting to complain to jsyn but I cant cos vnc was at his seat too.
A dissed look immediately formed on my face and vnc kept asking jsyn what's wrong with me. I indicated to jsyn by a hand gesture that I would explain to her later and I went back to continue with hell.
Adl finally realised I cant do it/there is TOO MUCH missing information and said she would accompany me to meet francis the next day. Meanwhile I would need to modify the dwgs.
I went back to my seat again. Vnc ask me why I am so frustrated and hence I told vnc what happened. Vnc said since adl is accompanying me the next day I neednt worry too much. I took his words for real and I left it at that.
The same night, I did OT so that I can complete the dwgs. Also, I joked to jsyn that I would do my work then save it under a weird file name and 请 adl 吃 mc the next day.
The she will freak out cos all vital dwgs are with me.
We laughed at the joke and I stayed till 10pm to finally finish 90% of the work.
(The rest tmr. I am goddamn sleepy now.)
