A day full of suprises.....
I remember clearly as I went to bed... I remember how I was hungry, but since no one to accompany me for an early dinner, I just went to bed deciding to have breakfast the next day when I check in at 7 am. Went to bed 9pm, preparing to wake up at 5:30 am. Its ample time for me to shave and iron my clothes.
Was not really having a peaceful sleep but it is enough to keep me fresh the next day. And then the event began. Sharp 12 midnight my phone rang forcefully waking me up. The moment I saw the number potrayed on my mobile I knew where it is coming from. My Manager is calling me. I didnt wanna pick up and decided to let it ring. I didnt wanna cut it either as my manager will know that I cut off the call purposely. So after a while the ringing ended. I picked up my mobile to clear the miss call, otherwise the whole day there will be a reminder beep to notify me of the missed call for the rest of the day. Guess wasn't my lucky day at all. Just as I am in the midst of flipping the phone open, the same call hit again. And since my phone's flip is active base, the call got answered. Perfect timing for me to get caught. Can't just hang up now, especially after the other end already knew that I picked it up. Ending it now would put me in plenty of trouble wouldn't it.
So I just answered in a very casual and sleepy tone, emphasis on the sleepy of cus. On the other hand I heard my manager...." Dev, sleeping hah?", I subtly replied " Yes , maam". She apologized quickly for interupting my beautiful sleep. Again I subtly replied " Its ok." She began without any delay. It seems she picked four people to attend a training, and one of them won't be able to make it as that personnel gotta attend a court case. By now, even before she utter it I knew that she want me to replace that unavailable personnel. But what didn't register my mind is the fact why would she call me so late unless its urgent. Dumbfounded I asked her "when", to which the reply was "tomorrow". That woke me up....I was like "TOMORROW"....And she continued her yacking about how I need the training and all.. Politely I told her I am fine with it. She gave me the details of the training room and what time it starts. It starts at 9 am. Well since thats the case I decided to call out my buddy to accompany me for supper. Since I am already hungry before I went to bed, plus now I have the chance to wake up even later, plus no need to iron my clothes or whatsoever as the training would be in casual mode.
So I timed myself perfectly, go supper, estimate to be back about 2 am. Sleep for 6 hours and off I go to the training. I was somehow quite happy about the training cus of my colleague that I need to work with if there was no training... I mean I just hate that guy. So going for the training means I dont have to see that dumb face for the next 4 days... Yup the training was scheduled for 4 days..
Everything went smoothly. I was back at my room by 2am, just as planned, but seem like fate got another sketch for me....
0630 hrs, the phone rang again. I was too blur to look at the time, but when I saw the number, only one thing ran through my mind. "Oh shit...I must be late for the training and thats why my manager is calling to wake me up...."...But whadya know...more suprises...Just as soon as I answered the call...the response went " I am very sorry to do this to you, but you gotta check in now..." I was like "errr...uh...huh...traini....." and the respond came again..." your colleague's sister passed away and he has taken compassionate leave, so I am cancelling your training and you need to cover the other two guys". I immediately said ok...Though it was a shitty way to start the morning, but I know I am not gonna be blamed for being late as this is an unforseen screw up from the top management.. Nevertheless I slowly made my way towards the iron table and start ironing my shirt and pants....Done that...Next task is to shave......Took my bath and all got ready and reached the workplace at 0730 hrs.
As soon as I reached I gotta run my reports, as all the other departments are depending on it. But it was hell of a pressure for me as I have only had 10 days exposure in this department and since I do not know if I am gonna be permanent here or not, I rushed through to gain as much knowledge as possible. And the day came when one colleague went on his off days while the other had a sorry state to tend to. So it was all up to me... The entire ACRES dept is in my hand. Kinda scary to be honest, especially the thought if I screw up, there i sno one who can rectiy my mistake.....And since this whole thing is related closely with the finance department, everything seem to be very massive....I am d Man of the Day...In fact I am gonna be the hero is this department for the next four days at least.....Sweating....Damnt it, how am I suppose to do all the work when I am all alone + plus I had only 10 days training which none of it is really intact in me + I've been away for another 20 days whereby I have forgotten everything I have learned cus there wasn't any hands on....Hmmm..Let's see...Whats the answer again...Oh yeah...0 is the answer...
Nevertheless I journey through the day slowly but very carefully as not to cause any havoc...Ok 1st suprise within a very suprise-full day...I need to key in certain data... All this while I have been thought of only the direct key in method, but not the adjustment part of it... And when I was training there, not once I had the chance to try the adjustment method... It has requirement to do the adjustment method...And the requirement was never met all this while untill today. The day when I am all alone with nothing but a basic knowledge...Quick call my colleague who's sleeping peacefully at home...Don't care...I just need to do it....And it began....Called my colleague, woke him up from his beauty sleep to get some tips on how to generate the data...Though I am still unsure if what I keyed in was based on how he taught me... Guess tomorrow awaits all my needles...
Anyway things didn't just stop there.... The manager who is in charge of this section all in a sudden sent an email requiring some infos on all the reports generated on daily,weekly and monthly report and the source of those datas. I was like...what the heck... I dont even know exactly how many and what kind of reports are sent on daily, weekly and monthly basis.. I decided to ignore the whole thing and just finish up the current reports on hand. After the check out...and I've survived through my first lone ranger day...Again, fate was smiling sheepishly on me... Right before I check out phone call came. Its the manager I mentioned earlier requesting for the details again. I told him I am still new here...and that I got no idea about the complete compilations of what he wants... He asked me what time the other two guys will check in... I told him that one is on his off days while the other had to take emergency leave as his sister passed away.... But before I could even finish my sentence the guy firmly growled....."I need those things today...." I was like " Errr....hmmmm....Ok I will call the guy on leave" and we ended the conversation... I really felt very bad burdening the guy who's on his leave with all this problems.... Nevertheless I need to do what I need to do...I called him and since he is a nice guy, he just gave me all the details I needed....Quicly I put it all in the reply mails and sent it back to the manager... Waited till four o clock when I am supposed to be off by 3pm; just incase...for more suprises I guess...Nothing came....
But the day didn't end quite there yet... I need to go to the HR dept for some reason...I needed to encode my white card... Thought it could be done instantly like it was done on previous instances, but again to my suprise...the card was held back... The personnel who's in charge of it told me she will email me once the card is ready...Sigh....
Well since I am already here, I thought I might as well stop by to say HI to some off the lovely chicas here... First up...A new eurosion looking chick...Not bad....Dont know who she is...2nd up Ms Agnes...Have to say she's quite busty for her size...Also she is neither pretty nor cute nor ugly... I like that in a girl...Everything is just nice...Well too bad she's taken....Not that I stand a chance even if she is still single anyway...But you know I am just expressing thats all... Asked her about the new eurosion looking girl...Turned out that she is a punjabi... and younger than me... Now what a pleasant suprise...In fact its the 1st pleasant suprise out of the many suprises I got today....
But thats where all the smile and happiness ends with Agnes as Agnes brought forth a very bad news to me...... The return of the DumbBadAss...yup thats what I refer to him as.... You see when I joined this organization, this guy was one of my manager... And like many other managers, who don't have much work to do, they often like to come up with all kind of dumb ass procedures to make their subordinates life as miserable as possible... I mean after all they are not gonna follow it..Its us their downline who's gonna die of it... So likewise on of this guy's rule is for all the execs to wear white shirt... I mean what the fucklarr... Fist of all we are not staff...We are Execs and we earned our position to here....so stop treating us like small kids when we should have been given more of a proffessional status. Especially the whole rul took a huge hit on me... I got confirmed like only 10 days..So I went shopping for my shirts and pants... Damn it I already bought colourful shirts.....And after the 10th day I got transfered to the department I am currently attached with... Thats when this dumb ass came and told me that I need to wear white shirts... I was like...what am I going to do with all my new colourful shirts then... I only got about 3 white shirts at max....And even if I am to wear the white shirts continously, who's gonna pay my laundry charges.. I mean to do laundry every three days, is gonna take up quite a load of my salary... I mean thats why I said these stupid managers like to work our ass off....If you wanna implement a rule, you gotta make sure its at the company's expense... For the pay you are giving I am already working my ass off...And now for the sake of the company I gotta dig my own pocket ??? No way...Somehow I managed to survive the days when he's around..till finally one day when my heart rejoiced...that this stupid guy is being transfered to another section... That was mark of my freedom..as well as for others plus other managers dont seem to care about the standards of the shirt we wear...As long as its formal they are all fine with it.
Intro about the guy is done... Agnes told me that the same DumbBadAss guy has returned to my section...Whats worse was the fact that he is no more the manager, but returned as the General Manager....Higher post....more power...More torture for us..... But I guess at the end of the day all I could think about most is Agnes's smile....Hahahaha..
Next up...head to the EVP's secertary..Another lovely girl...No suprise there...Just a normal chat until one hot looking Malay girl...A new clerk at the HR.....wow...now thats Yummy....2nd pleasant suprise in a row.....My day is deffinitely looking brighter...But somehow the secertary ...doesn't seem to like her... It was like oops for me... I mean how am I to juggle between two girls I have my eyes on...Sigh....I was never too good with girls to begin with... No wonder I am still single...Sigh again...
Sigh...Sigh....Sighhhhh....What a tiring day...with all the suprise elements I am pretty much exhausted...Yet I found energy to write this long entry... Has been quite a while since the last time I wrote a really long one... Where did my energy come from... Guess that'll be the last element of suprise for today..
Can you hear it....the echoes of realmz....
