Work has been tiring lately as there are many things to see to, ensuring everything is in order and all stocks are sufficient.
Had to spend a whole day sitting by the counter printing 800+ vouchers, attending to shoppers' enquiries and directing them to queue up for redemptions.
It's sad to see that Singaporeans are not only "Kiasu", they are also rude, LOUD and demanding!!! They expect to be served first regardless if there are others before them!! What's worst is, these characteristics occur in all age groups and it's DAMN annoying!
Even on a Sat where it's supposed to be a half day (4-hr work), i was at work at 1pm till 7pm today, packing rewards while performing my duty manager role!!! Haiz... really exhausted..
Luckily i have a very hardworking brand assistant...Though she doesnt report to me directly, i must say she is of great help... Sacrificing her Sat afternoon to help me with all the work... Truly commendable!!
Cant imagine what's going to happen to our dept's administrative work in March!!! (you should get what im hinting here right?)
I have been so stressed up that i had been having headaches almost everyday for the past week... Before and after work. The physical and mental tiredness level experience is to the extend that I was knocked out at about 9.15pm on one of the weekdays, sleeping throughout the night!
On top of all these running about, i still need to work out plans for GSS 08!! Time is running short and i will need to complete this proposal together with CNY post-mortem before i can leave for my holidays to New York!! I NEED EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS!!!
Lastly, going to NY brings me some worries and unhappiness:
- Unfamiliar with the place so even the bookings of hotels would not be as easy as wanting to book a hotel in Singapore
- The amount of money needed for the trip and to ensure that we have spare cash to pay for our Credit Card bills after we return
- The dates of departure - if i can apply for that block of leave. Will my boss demonstrate badminton patterns and end up rejecting my leave??? Also if i leave end Feb, i dont wish to leave Ms Piggy all alone on her birthday...
- Pineapple informed me today that his mum is joining us... Means its not going to be a lovey-dovey holiday as i long wished for...
- Then i have to handle my mum who will then complain why im not bringing her along??? Fight between the in-laws!!!
So Many problems, worries and unhappiness and they are all happening altogether!!! So vexed!
So hard to find someone to share my problems and even family may not be the best people to understand you or listen to you.. At the end of the day, people are just MORE concerned for themselves!!
The only hope is next week to be a less stressful week so that i have time and more importantly energy to prepare for Chinese New Year... (I cant even enjoy the weekday discounts for my hair services as my leave was rejected due to meetings with 2 merchants...at Tampines some more!*Faint*)
~Sad~...
