Oh, I'm so tired

Really. I'm exhausted.

My Israeli boss has been back from a site overseas. A bit busy today as she was away for about 5 weeks. Plus, some shit about a visa - which was not my fault, by the way.

I tried my best to sort out some shit today while Aussie boss was out of the country. And I believe God saved the best for last.

Just when I was thinking I should head out (about 7:30PM), I thought I should give this certain girl a call. She's been under procesing to go work in UAE. Her work permit is nearly done over there. And the employer has been asking for more document and if she could fly out end of this month. Of course, she never gave me the answer, only said she would call me back. Which she never did.

Time is precious, my friends. So, I gave her a call today to see if she already made up her mind. Her sister answered the phone.

And there's a shocking news waiting for me.

The sister said that the girl couldn't go to work overseas anymore due to family crisis. This and that and blah de blah. And said "I'm sorry."

Wait a minute. Do you really think it's over just by saying you're sorry? You wish!

I told her that the employer has spent a lot of money to work on the girl's work permit. And she can't just say "Sorry" and walk. I made it clear that, by backing out at this stage, she's causing so much damage to everyone. So, she'll be likely paying the employer back for all the expenses already invested. More headaches to come, as this family is having a big financial problem. The girl still owes my company some money too.

I've sent an email to the employer and my Aussie boss. No replies from the employer yet. I hope I didn't give her a heart attack...
