Grrr..

I was pissed off by a junior this morning.. and still feel it until
this moment. It is 2 o'clock in the morning. I could not tell anyone,
my husband was so tired, and the kids were having their bad day too.
So, here I am. Writing my blog in the morning. Haha! Well, I seldom
complaint unless it is very very necessary and disturbing my life.
Last two days we were having this so-called rountable meeting to
discuss important projects to carry out next year. As usual, I am the
chosen one to do coolie work on reporting. Yesterday I stayed back
until half past six in the evening to finish up the report. I was
assigned an assistant but unfortunately he does not know anything to
do. Kept asking me to show simple things like how to write the Q&A.
And he even thought that we take minutes by writing it down on paper!
Argghh! I was not sure why my boss assigned him for this important
meeting. Anyway, all well and done, I did the report on my own. He
took very little note on the final remark of the workshop. Today, the
boss asked for a urgent-to-be-done-today for the report. In less than
15 minutes I have to check on a draft letter and series of
presentations. He told me to ask this junior to help me. I was running
out of time, my meeting in 15 minutes so I called up this guy and gave
him series of instructions on the work. He said back to me 'the boss
asked you to do this? I cannot do this anymore, I had done this so
many times, he has to give me time to do my research' arrogantly! He
is just few months in this office of research, and have not had any
real project or services. All I am asking is like half an hour of his
time to check, print and compile. I was like burning mad that time,
gave him few stern word on 'working on research'. He shut up and
helped me out, but he printed out on the wrong layout and did not
understand what a cover means. Damn it! Why he was chosen to be the
assistant? He ruined my day because I hate to give stern word on
anyone even my subordinate but telling me that he was not suppose to
do odd job other than studying and researching was out-of-my-patience.
I have been helping the boss since I started working here but never
complaint on why I have to do this, and that. I know that that is part
and parcel of working. Clerical jobs, odd jobs etc.. I just hope that
someday he will understand that by doing those coolies' jobs will make
him more reliable, multitasking and independent researcher. Ha! Felt
better now that I wrote this thing out. Should go to sleep now. Nite!
