Missed out my complaints! Part II

Read this first so that the events are in order.

Come next day. I keep saying 要请 adl 吃 mc, but in the end adl 请我吃 mc!!

Adl got kth (she is another team leader like vnc, but I seldom need to work with her) to inform me that I have to meet francis alone. I told her I cant do it, but she said adl informed someone had to go.

I've no choice but to meet up with the client alone. I am very unwilling, but I cant reject instructions. It was a terrible choice. The designer really bua-ed me upside down. He kept asking me questions which I couldnt answer and I could only tell him I would have to go back to check.

He pointed out that I shouldnt come by without my floorplan even and eventually he gave up trying to communicate with me and called adl. He asked adl how come things are so 'unconfirmed' at that moment, and why was that the project is so unclear at our side.

As they were on speakerphone, I could also talk to adl and adl immediately asked me "Have you seen the floorplan that I sent to vnc's email?"

That question is a total showcase of 语病. And francis immediately had this 'dawned-upon' look. He was super friendly to me after that, and for one of the selection, I explained to him that the colours are subjected to availabilty and he gave me 4 choices in order of his preference! So understanding!

As I walked back to the office, my immediate thoughts were that I want to go back to tender my resignation. I am irritated beyond words and the only thing on my mind is that I cant handle such sabotage.

I returned to the office to 找 vnc 出气. Once he saw me he asked me where I went. I was supposed to be calling adl to give her a report of her the meeting go, so I just vaguely told him that I went to meet up with francis.

He was shocked and asked me why did I went alone? I retorted what else could I have done?!? The meeting was supposedly arranged and someone had to be there!! What kind of crap question is that?

He stood beside me and tried to look over my shoulder to see what was I doing. I turned around and saw his outstretched hand trying to pick up the presentation boards that I brought back after the discussion. I (ok, I know I very zek ark, but I was very angry mah!) shoved his hand away and tell him I dont need his help!!!

*Breathe in* *Breathe out*

I guess I got very agitated cos I was very 不爽 and I felt that I was being sabotaged, 陷害-ed. Vnc calmed me down and went thru the presentation boards. He gasped and asked me how could I possibly have the guts to attend the meeting with almost zero information on hand? 不说就算了,说了我就气! I complained that I already say I cant do it but if people insist on 推我去死 what can I do?

He reminded me next time whenever such things happen I am to call him and he would attend the meeting for me instead, and I would not face such a situation again.

Nice of him hor?

As he went thru the remaining of the stuff with me, he was increasingly pissed that how come I went to see the client without enough information and with the presentation boards done up so ugily. I told him adl said the job is confirmed, so 'anyhow do can already'.

It is not my style to 'anyhow' do my work. But since she instructed that way, I cant possibly present my usual standard or she would definately feel that I am going against her wishes.

She is REALLY that kind of person!

Anyway, I re-did the presentation boards according to my preferences and I withdrew my intentions of wanting to quit, seeing that vnc is really a dependable boss.

The next day when adl was back from mc (fri in case you have lost track), she said she want to have a talk with me and proceed to kidnap me to drink coffee awa~y from the office. She said that she heard that I had a tough time with francis and she said it was a miscommunication between herself and kth because she never meant for me to go alone.

Please, adl, how many more people are you going to miscommunicate with?

She kept reminding me that I am under her and my jobscope is to support her role in sales.

I thought all along it had been commuicated that I am under vnc? Miscommunication again?

I just kept quiet and listen to what other crap she would tell me. I rather not go into details because they are all crap to me, honestly.



The rest of fri passed by while I busied with the projects and was in the end late for my date with meow and cami.



Adl wa kirai. Dai kirai. Sukoushi mo suki jya nai.
