Maybe slt is right

I ot-ed till 12.30am just now and the moment I reached home I immediately logged in to internet so that I can find my virtual rubbish dump.

Poor slt, he is becoming the convenient dump for me these days.

But too bad, who ask him to be so nice. *Evil grin*

I was telling him that adl is very guo fen, I am doing one of her project for her which is taking up my full concentration because she expects the finished proposal to be 'fully comprehensive'.

Sometimes I think she percieves the whole world to be like herself, staying alive with a single brain cell. The proposals I am doing ON HER BEHALF is already as comprehensive as it can get, any more and I will be sued for insulting the intelligence of whoever else is reading my proposal.

And my point of 'on her behalf' refers to the fact that I am supposed to be supporting her with autocad drawings, quotations, material samples, my proposed concepts, etc so that she can successfully clinch the sale.

But it is getting TOO obvious that she is getting me to do all the work for her. Okay la, maybe not all, maybe around 95%. She is 5% involved cos she has to allocate work to me.

I can only imagine, she will go "Oh, project xx, ok pass to kanigi; yah, project yy's deadline is tmr morning, ok pass to kanigi; client zz wants the image of our product, shall ask kanigi to email him; I think I want two copies of these documents, I must remember to ask kanigi to zap for me; yah, there is a brochure that I must give client aa at 2pm, later at 1.45 I shall ask kanigi to take cab pia down."

Very stressed leh she, have so many things on hand and all she have to do is to gravitate all the shit to me.

Was saying, I am doing her proposal for her, which is due tomorrow. She then told me that she needs me to do one drawing for her.

I told her I am still working on the first project, and she assure me that this drawing that she needs me to do is a VERY simple 2d and the insertion of a single image.

Fine, I told her I shall do that then, if it is really that small.

She happily told me she will brief me.

(Brief what sai? One simple drawing and one image, what is there to brief?)

I went over to her seat and stood by her seat, expecting it to take less than 10secs.

She told me to take a seat instead.

(Sit down for what? I still need to get back to the first project leh!)

I sat down still, and watch her draw a really simple drawing on paper and pointed out to me that she needs the image at the top of the page.

Then the second image at the centre of the page.

(HUH?! Not one image meh? Ok never mind, dont gey gao. One image or two images dont make a very big difference.)

Then please indicate the price for the products in this range.

(Price? Why suddenly need to include price?)

I asked her if she is going to indicate the prices for me, because it was the first time I am seeing this range of product, and I have no idea of the price.

Usually I would just listen to what she wants and carry on from there. Even if the information she gave me is usually around 30% of the total that I need, I never liked to ask her because her product knowledge is THAT much only. I would source for my means to get the work done, which normally involves asking vnc and getting scolded by him, but I'd rather.

She told me I have to check it out myself.

(Kns! But I thought I would just ren and do it.)

She went on, saying, ok, we've covered point 1, we have point 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

($**%^#_$&&E$%)

When she finally finished with her dream, I told her it is impossible to complete looking at how much work that is. She have the cheek to tell me it is only very simple 2d drawings and inserting of pictures!

By the way, it ended up that there was 6 drawings to be drawn, and a total of around 20 15 pictures to be inserted, not to forget I still had to ask around for the price, then filled them in.

And it was already 5.30pm and everyone is getting ready to go!!

I told her I agreed to do it because I thought it is only one single piece. She defended, saying 2d and inserting pictures should be very quick, estimating that I should take around 1 hr at the most.

I looked at her straight in the eye, and told her "Adl, it...still...takes...time..."

She got someone else to do it instead, and told that person to check with me if he has querries. Luckily I had to stay ot, if not how is the person going to finish the work? He immediately forgot adl's instructions and had to check with me on what was it that adl wants.

When I checked with him regarding his progress, I was horrified to realise that adl actually completed a huge part of the work for him by filling in all the prices.

Super not fair. If I had to do it, I had to find the prices myself. If it is someone else who is doing it, she will then be willing to depart the information.

Slt says she is treating me that way because I always show her attitude problem. He said that maybe that is there way to get back to me, by loading me with lots of work with incomplete information, is far easier to cripple me than to start a verbal fight.

Maybe slt is right.

But what can I do? I can only complain and vent my anger, what more can I do?

KNN.
