Working Life # 2

Friends who know me well, knowing that i planned well everything in my life...ok, almost everything as i wished. I know i can't and unable to control people's schedule, life but i can plan mine. So unless there is unexpected issues pop out, if not, i will try to be the last minute person.

I know some of my files will due next Friday, I ensure they are in progress with just clearing some point and preparation letter to client. This morning, i was called by SM to the office and asked me:

• SM: So how, Paige. Can u cope with the files?
• P : ...(obviously yes but why she asked? 'cope with the files'? ' my files? or other's files?) Yes, i can cope well with MY FILES SO FAR.
• SM: Good, i have 2 files here for u.
• P : (knowing wasn't good when she ask me to her office and talked in nice tune) What file? When is the deadline?
• SM: Next week. And for your information, we need at least 2 days courier to reach client's place.
• P : What? 2 days, send and received means 4 days for courier?
• SM: U can said so.
• P : I left only 7 days including weekends, minus out 4 days courier, one day review, meaning to say i left only 2 days to analyze tax computation, gather information with 2 NEW FILE?
• SM: Yes, u can said so. It is super urgent.
• P : ....i don't think i can make it. I didn' even glance through the files yet and i have pending files on hand.
• SM: Don't worry, they are only little information needed. You can learn much , and u can asked guidance or assistance.
• P : (How? Everyone was so busy, that's why i have these files, isn't it? Then who can still guide me at this super-duper peak hour?).....since there is no possible to turn down this 2 files, i will try my best but not guarantee.
• SM: Ok sure. Anything u can just come to me.
• P : (of course u said so la.....u need help ma......) ok thanks.

When i about to leave her office.....

• SM: Anyway, are u coming in this weekends?
• P : .........(about to tell but she stop me.)
• SM: Actually the files were very urgent lo.
• P : (obviously she is waiting for her desire reply)...ya, but i think i wil only come in the morning on Saturday. As for Sunday, if u guys come in, i will scheduled my time also.

Then, i realised time not flies, time ZOOM. I just clearing some points of my own previous file, my watch showed 2pm. Then when i passed my files for review. I started the new company. The centralised air con off make me realised it is already 5.30pm and i just move on to second section.

Knowing that i have no time for dinner at all, i went to the pantry and grab some bites and continues my workload. SM came to me at around 9.30pm, asked ' how is it? What are u busying now?' . (foolish question, does she diagnose STML?). When i turnaround and looked at her, she is actually done packing her bag, about to leave. I just looked at her, (SM, how is my file ah? Got problem ah?) she answered, no la, i will bring back and review. Then she left the office......

What a world.!!! Never mind, i can learn more, And i can apply for more hours for studies later. Gannbatte ne!!!
