Monday Sept. 5
Woke up late for work, so called up the office and said that I won't be turning up since I've got shitloads to do anyway that isn't work related. Car payment, bills, credit cards.
Tuesday Sept. 6
Turned up at work as usual (read: late). Got a call from Jasmin (boss), saying that there's something wrong with a brochure that i made for a Spa. After arguing with him for a length of time, it turned out that i gave the printer the wrong files. That's 4000 copies of brochures turned to toilet paper.
Okay, so here's the story. For the past 2 months, i was in a wickedly weird and fucked state of mind where i wasn't giving my full concentration in work. It's like i'm missing something from the office, which, in the last week or so, i've figured out what. My work has always been checked by CC, who've left the company about 2 months ago. After she left, it seems that i just couldn't get anything done right. I thought that i could never get anyone as good as she to work with me on my projects, so i just might as well do stuff on my own. it's my ego saying "ah, i can cope without her. let's just read through all this copy and approve it myself" but i was wrong :\ I realized that i could never be as thorough as she was, and still is.
CC, if you're reading this, i'm not blaming you. I think that's what was going on, i shouldn't have let myself overstep my own capability, and i should've got someone to help me out like you always did. I'll always miss having you around at work, but i think i'll live!
Also i'm taking this opportunity to apologize again to my colleagues for what i've done can never be reverted, and causing extra stress to you all. And to Jasmin, i'm sorry that i kicked a huge dent in our revenue, and like i said before, i'll try my best to come back to my previous work level, and surpass it. Watch me.
Yep, for that, i've got an extra chewing on by Jasmin. Towards the end of the day, stayed pretty late at the office since our Account Executive was too scared to go home because she watched Shutter for the 4th time the night before. Me and Jasmin had a field day scaring the bejeezus out of her.
Wednesday Sept. 7
My week didn't improve. This is the day where ze shite hits the fan. A client that i have been exclusively handling rejected 200 copies of their annual report because they didn't approve the cover. Went over to see them, got chewed on, and reluctantly picked the stuff up and brought them back to the office.
The drive back was rather suicidal, speeding on the left lane and cutting into the emergency lanes at 110km/h on a busy late-morning traffic. At that time, i was wishing for some jackass (okay, bigger jackass than me) to bang into my car and send me careening into the barrier, maim my baby car, but leave me slightly injured, so i could get sympathy from everyone at work, and be forgiven. But i arrive at work fine. Thank God.
Yea i was a bigger dumbass than usual on that day. Jasmin didn't even bat an eyelid when he came in. Not a word of anger. I'm sure that it's all because he's trying hard not to lose his temper for my latest fuckup. At that time i could see that he's a man of great patience, but i knew that i'm seriously treading on dangerous grounds. He helped me get the proper cover approved and sent over to the printer. This is the 4th time we've sent the stuff back to the printer, and he's not happy. If there's anyone in the world that i would never want to piss off would be Jasmin and the printer guy. These two guys would roll me into a big popiah, repeatedly kick my ribs in and feed me to the dogs. I think.
Thursday Sept. 8
Uneventful day at work. Went to see Justin afters, and we hung out with the Pro-Hatch guys in Taman Desa.
Pro-Hatch is a group of Proton Satria owners who loves to yumcha and talk cock. We have bi-weekly convoys to various mamak joints around the Klang Valley. Our record-breaking convoy involved 54 Proton Satrias of various modifications to the Sunway Extreme Park. Drive a Satria? join us and.. well.. talk cock!
Friday Sept. 9
Uh.. nothing much. took half the day off, supposed to take my bro Chik to the British Council, but that didn't happen. Instead i went to Subang with Justin, he's got his new strobe lights and got them installed. It was wicked! But went back to the office after that, since i've got some other shit to remedy. Haha yeah i fucked up again somewhere and it's sorta kinda fixed.
Today
Mira's here to hang out, poor baby's down with the flu. Didn't do much though, took Chik to the British Council to enquire on the IELTS test, he's going to Australia next year for uni. Slept in the afternoon, and woke up to watch Man Utd draw 1-1 with Manchester City. Buuuuut the pain sorta went away because Arsenal lost 2-1 with Middlesborough. HAAAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yea with that, ends my 'Power Update'. Stay tuned for more nonsensical ramblings on my routine daily life and the occasional rants.
