The Evil Truth
I was the last person in the office last night because one of our sponsors was trying to be a hard case and refused to deliver their promises.
Variations of her lies:
“I have it on my phone but can’t send it through MMS.”
“It’s too windy here, hello…hello?”
“I’ll have my tech guy send it.”
“It’s in my USB, will email them when I get home, which is in ten minutes.”
“Internet was out all night”
“Will email when I reach the office.”
“Sorry I’m at the airport I’ll have someone email it, I’ll send you his number.”
I begged and pleaded with someone from Manila to please contact this stubborn person and make sure they email it by midnight. But as of this morning, nothing has come in yet. I really hate people who give their word and don’t fall through. If they can’t do it, then just say they can’t. I’ll appreciate the honesty and at least I won’t waste my precious time chasing them. I was pissed and stressed about this last night that I refused to go home just yet because I had to make overseas calls to keep reminding them to send the stupid f*cking logo because if I come to work today without it my boss is going to cane me and that ain’t nice.
I have been seriously evaluating my happiness versus work. I’m trying to see if there is a possibility of this ever getting better. As of now, I don’t think I could take it but I know that everywhere else I go I would be experiencing something like this, or maybe even worse. So I’m trying to see if this is the lesser of all the evils out there.
Everyone kind of has a hint that I’m not having a good couple of days. They keep mentioning that I look “tired”, “stoned”, “sad”, “unhappy”, and probably loads more unattractive adjectives they could drum up.
I need a vacation and I’m hoping KL will swallow me and spit me up with all its gooey goodness.
