sotong me

my boss just told me that i almost missed out 3 shipments this month.

shipments = money

Am I careless or sotong?

Incident 1

i was in a rush to go home so i finish up my stuffs and went home. The next day my boss told me: Eh last night you nv send out the SI to forwarder.
I replied confidently: of course la, i went home liao.

But the truth was, i was still in the office but i was rushing home so i ignore my mailbox. ;p and it was my boss who told me.

Incident 2

i also forget liao and my boss also forget liao but he told me today that i did left out 3 SI.

Incident 3

Just today, Japan sent out a revised shipment for Hongkong one. And my boss asked: did you receive before?

Again, confidently replied him: No leh, maybe they send just today.

Boss: then how they put revise leh?

Me: maybe they thought they did send out lor, why not you call them and check?

after 5 mins..

Boss: eh, they sent on 19th, but you miss out and nv send to forwarder. Plus, this is for 1st July ocean shipment! Luckily, they sent the revised SI else we will nv know! (ocean shipment need to do at least few days advance, cos need to put the feeder and mother vessel, and before the goods board the feeder, i need to give them the documents)

Me: oh..is it? and i went to my inbox and check..he's right..why am i so blur/careless?!

Boss: this month we almost miss out 3 shipments. you better be careful in future. (of course, he is not saying it in harsh manner, but i felt bad)

Truth was, on the 19th, he was out for meeting the whole day, I am the only one struggling in the office with many SIs coming in that day thus I need to prepare tons of documents plus 20th was company holidays so the documents for 20th shipment I need to complete in on 19th.
And..i was prepared to stay late, say about 9 plus, but when at 6plus, my boss told me GM asked me to join them to accompany client out for dinner..so at 7.20pm, everyone was waiting for me to finish up the balance and at 7.30pm, we rushed out for dinner at Intercontinental Hotel.

I am not trying to push faults but just wondering is it careless or blur? I am really busy lor esp when my boss is not around. And did i mention that month end is the worst for us..plus my boss is taking leave from tomorrow and will be back only on 30th June.

Talking about the dinner with client, he's from HQ (Japan) and my GM is a Japanese. And Japanese loved beer so much that we need to finish a glass of beer before dinner starts. I had 3 bottles that night, was not alot to make me drunk but my boss promote me like a item to them, telling them i am a strong drinker lor. KNS. My GM even said so you can go out on the wkdays since your hubby not in town right? Then next time we got any entertainment, we can ask you along! faintz..now is ok, but what if i am pregnant? how?

anyway, told hubby and mum, not to worry as i not so easy to get drunk, then they no need to worry if i drunk how i make my way home etc..

enough of ranting, back to work!

company holiday - 20th June

tml is company holiday..my colleagues are heading to club med @ bintan for company treats..the reason that i did not join was because it was only a 2 days 1 night event and dear will only reach SG tomorrow morning, by then when he settle everything, it will be 10am. Too late..my colleagues will be probably swimming or eating at club med. so we decided to give it a miss..

instead..i think i will rest at home, since my back and throat are giving me problems..argh..and 20% of unlucky chance that I will need to come back office to work..at a standard rate(what kind of BS is this). I'm praying hard that I got all the details and I can finished all my works tonight..

Something for me to nag..yesterday i was damn pissed with my boss as I was busy struggling with all the work..and there he was talking to another colleague, discussing abt the Europe Cup. He was a mad fan of football just like hubby and dad..but shouldn't you be concentrating at work instead? (haha..here i am blogging when i complaining him not doing work). But he is a slight overbroad. I will tell him to increase my salary after my confirmation, which i think i deserve it, since I'm working late almost every day and he is not helping at all!

busy me

i admit that i've not been meeting my buddies lately..like Iricia, Ah Wai, Linda and Kat, and those whom I have been promised to meet them..sorry..

Excuse/Reason
10% - because i don't really feel like going out
50% - my work is tiring me out
20% - I need to spend time with family
20% - I need to spend the time and energy for baby-making..

So..sorry pals. I really want to meet up soon with:
- Cindy for her discs, craps, life and secrets..
-Prestina & Jolene for crapping and complaining
- Ah Wai for drinks and catch up
- Joey for dinner, drinks and catch up
- Julie & Celine for dinner
- Ex colleagues like Linda, Kathryn for dinner and KTV
- Secondary sch girls for catch up..haven seen them since my wedding

When will it be? I don't know..so far as I know..I have to work late everyday unless at 5.30pm, I finished everything and no emergency case happen (usually happen at 5pm). And it ends up I reach home late and I only can think of beauty sleep and watching my discs.

Oh, and i get to visit suppliers in JB and Peneng, every once in a month. So if you call my mobile and it's overseas line, stop bombing my phone cos I'm working/in meeting and it's not nice for me to call you as I'm always with me boss. Thanks for your kind understanding.

Not to mention that hubby's family is having a big fight and i need to help to brain storm to resolve and grandma is discharging next Mon and moving to stay with us.
