Dramatic or Drastic?

I really just hate meetings. Why? Because most of the meetings I am in, I find it a waste of time for me. I have to make salamuha with people with all those blahs yet, their just paikot-ikot. Then you present and make paliwanag the work but they are not listening. Sheesh!

And then you become an audience –– of your own packaging design being torn apart viciously in front of you… no! in front of your team and the owner of the company, your client.

How disrespectful.
How unprofessional.
How bastos!

Really.

Siguro I can accept that pa if he is my professor, my parent or my boss. Hmmm… well, I will feel bad pa rin but perhaps I won’t be making alma like this or react like this.

He is such a show off. He's all talks and no work. I am disappointed with this kid. Yes! He is so much bata than me that’s why I hate his ways, his ego is singlaki or even greater than his katawan! He is full of himself. And for a time he was given this great opportunity from his work place, wala! He made pabaya and enjoyed too much.

He made punit our team’s output… my diecut and box design. Why? He just wants daw to indicate na we shouldn’t be attached to it. That he wanted to mark the start of change and all the blahs to the brand he is assigned to now…

And what’s more irritating there, almost everyone knows that he is to leave next month. Leave as in resign in the office. Everyone knows except his boss. PLUS, he has sooooo many palpaks na and yet he is still there in the office?! They should have kicked him out dati pa… but nooooo! He acts as if he is like another anak ng God.

He tore the box.

I wonder how his boss feels. It was disrespectful to the brand actually. I don’t know. I don’t find it dramatic if he’s showing off.

I tried brushing it off but it was pretty halata that day, that meeting that I don’t have gana anymore. That I was there but I wasn’t listening to him and the next brand meeting. What for? Up until kanina, I still have no gana. I wish I can just do other personal projects during office time.

Now, I mark the day that I will be an automaton… full-functional automaton.

With that, I can consider my only consolation is that my boss-friend made sulat to him indicating his insensitivity. You know what? He made answer pa and made tanggol of his actions! He was sorry naman DAW. It’s not his intentions. Yeah, right!

Wow! The word “sorry” is overused and battered. These days people say it lagi but di naman nila meant. Maawa naman kayo sa word!

And not just that, his boss made padala an SMS to me apologizing in behalf of his team for this guy’s uncalled for actions. The main man, their boss apologizing for this egoistic kid? I find it weird. I find it odd. And honestly, I don’t feel like texting back to acknowledge his message. It might be considered an act of bitchiness, I don’t know and I don’t make paki na. I am hurt, it’s my right to carry it if it takes my whole life time. They always wanted to be in control… well, not this time.

I can’t wait for other works, other projects and OTHER clients to work with. I still have hope that God will provide us with better people to deal with since we are dead serious naman on our work. My team and I will make it through… kami pa!

Too much drama, and we are not paid naman for that. Well, we are NOT paid enough actually. But we’ll have our day, our time… to shine.

Oh, by the way, aside from being considered masungit or irritable lately, some people are making biro that I am plastic daw. Well, joke or not, I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks to certain people that’s one thing I definitely learned here in my professional life. I should be given a diploma for that!

To Be Or Not To Be

I miss posting entries in both blogs that I have. You know naman I am quite busy or busy-busy-han in my life. I have errands for both work (and sideline) to some demands in my family, to be precise, to my Nanay.

I notice that people are commenting or making reklamo that I am masungit daw lately. Well, as far as I know I have been masungit even before. How come they just notice it now? They make sisi my diet. Perhaps it’s a factor but I say it’s mostly some people I have been making salamuha is the one making me more irritable!

I can’t deny that my life is mostly making ikot around work. What do you expect from me na getting older na and no boyfriend pa rin. I don’t want to make tunganga or beg for someone’s attention. Perhaps if I am mayaman but I’m not naman. I can’t go shopping for things or for men… oops! Hihihi.

Anyway, lately I am really so tinatamad. Well, it’s more obvious since the other day. Previously, I can make pwersa to myself pa to deliver to work, but today… wow! It’s so mahirap na.

Why am I tamad? Because some guy in our client’s office made a dramatic presentation of the changes he wants to impose na sana to this brand he is to handle. Well, a short history is that this product is being pasa-pasa na from one person to another. Like since it was created, 4 headed it and almost 10 people na are assigned to handle it. I don’t see any problem naman on the branding neither to our design. But this guy is somehow blaming us and making bola pa and bilog our heads. Heller?! I’m older than you. He may be pulitiko but I’m not dumb. Why can’t just they make tanggap that it’s the people they put there are the ones who has the problem.

Of course, can the client’s admit their mistakes? Na-ah. They always, always blame the “other” team. Has it been a trend that they make sisi other people? Well, come to think of it, it’s the most easy way out. They always make hugas-kamay.

I, of all people, should have been used to politics. But lately it’s been getting into my nerves. ARGH! Can’t they just leave us… not leave ME alone. Don’t push your luck, jerk! Tomorrow might be your last day. Given the opportunity, I will make laglag certain people specially the pulitiko one.

ARGH! I’ll sleep na lang muna. Beauty rest. I hope it would a better day for me tomorrow.

Probable lesson: I SHOULD care LESS.

Automaton anyone?
