Monday... again

Today was quite a day.

I had all the house to myself yesterday. Dad was in Lampang province. My sister was out shopping or whatever. Mum was out too. So, I stayed home with the dog. That was sooooooo peaceful.

I got up this morning not feeling very well. My allergy has been screwing me up real good. So, I decided to take the morning off work. Once I made it to the office, there was shite waiting for me here.

A girl here (different organisations, we just share the office) wanted to resign, and she wouldn't turn up until 2 PM. Of course, she wasn't here at 2 PM. We couldn't reach her either. Some girls in my company could help to run that organisation for a bit. We've always done that in the past. But now............. this girl has got a fookin' password on the computer.

So, now, when some people rang and asked if the organisation got their emails, the answer was "I don't know." How beautiful was that?

When she finally turned up, 2 hours later than she'd informed us, my boss had a really long and serious convo with her. She had worked with crooks in the past and so she has been very careful with all details - to protect herself. It's not really like that here. I mean, there are only a few people working here. I'm in charge of my company's money. Well, some of it. But even that - it's still more than that organisation's. She's been wayyyy too into the details. That only stressed her out to the max. And as a result, it stressed my boss out too.

She already pissed a company off by sticking to every single letter in the contract. No flexibility whatsoever. They all had a meeting the other day. I was brought in as well since I was more senior than my assistant. At the end of the meeting, problems solved, they continue working with the organisation. And the lady from that company said she would deal with me from now on.

Something just shouldn't be a problem at all. If executives have authorised something, whether you're against it or not, just do it. They obviously have reasons to allow it. You're afraid it would come back and bite you in the arse later? Attach email with the documents, or get an executive's signature to confirm the deal.

Wallah! Everyone is happy.

Back to today, so my boss had a convo with her. Not a very pleasant convo. But in the end, all was sorted out.. I guess. She's still working here.. I guess. No one got killed. She just needs to be flexible. The organisation is a non-profit one. No one in the board gets paid. The only one person in the organisation that gets paid is her. People volunteer to run this organisation. They really can't afford to piss the companies they deal with off.

The rest of us in the office don't have the problems she has. I mean, I've been working here for one and a half years already. They must be doing things right around here.

Oh...

Maybe it's us who are weirdos.
