My Series of Unfortunate Events

And so my story continues...
I'm in a net cafe in Ayala right now to have yet again another important document scanned and emailed to a Cisco switch supplier so we could finally pick up the items. I am tired. And hungry. Oh, starving is the word. I only had two cupcakes and two cups of chocolate drink the whole day. *sob*
Right before I came to this internet cafe, I went to LBC to send my officemate a labeler they forgot to bring with them to Laguna. The person in-charge asked me to buy a bubble wrap for the labeler before I ship it. I went to National Bookstore but they don't have any. I just bought an envelope with 'built-in' (haha) bubble wraps because I was so desperate already. When I came back to LBC, the LBC lady told me it won't do. My item might break and it will be their liability, whatevs. So I went out again to find bubble wraps. Good thing they had them at True Value.
I'm going home after this post. I'm just super exhausted. I can't live another day like this tomorrow.=(

Boss, Where Are You When I Needed You?

Just when I thought I could get used to it, I realized I'm better off with my old life some days ago. Closing a deal would have been good news to all of us in the company. But if my everyday would be as kaarrrazzyy as today, I think I might be hearing voices any time soon. Koren gone haywire? tsk tsk tsk.. Doesn't sound nice!

My officemate's phone call woke me up this morning. Of course it had something to do with work! So I lost yesterday's enthusiasm- first thought of the day: WORK???!! Whatever happened to sunshine and scrambled eggs! Okay, I don't want to get into details because I don't want to sound too technical and that here I am doomed yet nobody would care because they wouldn't understand a word I'm saying.hahaha (I'm getting pathetic now.) What actually happened today? Here's what happened today: 1) I was and still am bombarded with work that writing this is somewhat an escape 2) Everything goes wrong-- our orders, dealership application, even our schedule (we're working on this project in Laguna) 3) My desktop has gone haywire too (this morning it logs off by itself every 5 minutes and writes 3-4 letters in 10 seconds that it took me forever to finish one purchase order) 4) Our printer needs a new toner but I couldn't order a new toner because it requires a purchase order and I couldn't fax the purchase order to our supplier because our fax machine is busted. I could email the PO but then I would have to print it then have it signed by my boss then scan it but our scanner goes with our fax machine so yes, it's busted too. Now that goes to number 5. 5) Our scanner is as useless as our printer. I had to go to this internet cafe in Ayala to have ani mportant document scanned so I could email it to a supplier pronto. But the net cafe could only scan a portion of my document because their scanner is only good for 8 x 11 size bond papers and below. Crap. I had to go to National Bookstore to have its size redused but I could barely read the letters. blah blah blah 6) My boss is M.I.A. and whatever concerns my officemates have, they'd go to me. My list could go on actually. It just drains me to enumerate how bad this day is for me. I could just imagine how worse it could get tomorrow. Sigh. I'm living a nightmare. Got to stop now. Still need to work on other stuffs.

I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!!


PS

This just came in. Boss is in the hospital. Stressed maybe. I don't want to be next!

I Feel Like A Super Woman!

I am just so stoked today. You know that feeling where you try to squeeze everything into your itinerary and you almost couldn't make it on schedule and yet at the end of the day you accomplish them all? That's what I am feeling right now. Far better than doing nothing in the office, no? I feel so useful. *grin*
