Tired..

Just feeling very tired these few days, so haven't been updating my blog. Yes, it's my dreaded month, October..really hope this month will pass quickly. Quite pissed off with my boss and Garfield today. My boss for always making last minute changes and Garfield for her slownesss in getting things done..let me elaborate..

I absolutely hate it when my boss keeps making last minute changes when there is a very tight deadline to be met. It's just very troublesome to make those changes and it's especially irritating when the change is just one word and that word is a tense which to me doesn't make much of a difference, at least in this very case. I felt that sometimes it had to do with perspective more than anything, e.g. I had written something like 'A donkey was included in the published booklet." And my boss changed it to "A donkey is included in the published booklet." I was pretty much pissed off cuz to have to reprint and refile 20 copies of a paper because of this was stupid and killing even more trees!!! To me, "the donkey was included" because it was included at that point when the booklet was published, which is already over. So I tried to reason it out with my boss but his rationale is that since the donkey is currently shown in the published booklet, we should use present tense...that's why I said it has to do with perspective. It was not a big issue, really dun understand why he was so particular, guess he was just out to make life difficult for me!

Moving on to Garfield,...she either has a problem listening and digesting instructions given to her or she does not understand English totally!! Since last week, I had been telling her that she needed to start zapping papers for the 20 folders which we needed to despatch by this week but dunno what's wrong with her, up to yesterday, she only got 1 of the 20 folders done!!! When I asked her yesterday, I got the impression that she had already done up the 20 folders but I was shocked to discover at 6 pm today that she only did 1 folder the whole of yesterday!!! I was really quite pissed, how slow can a person get? I can be 101% sure that she is sleeping her time away at work. So never mind, since this was urgent, I offered to help her with the folders. But she was really so damn slow. In half the time she took to do one folder, I already did 2!! I really dun understand why her reactions are so slow and her movements so slow!!
