Been working late this week, average about 12-13hrs everyday. Don't know what's wrong, everything seems to be cocking up recently and lots of new shipments. Though new shipments = more business = more profits (hopefully) = fatter bonus (???), it gets frustrating when I don't have enough time to finish my work.
I start to wish time will just stop, phone calls will stop coming in so that I can do my work in peace. Still got loads of stuff to clear and time never seems enough. Its been a really suay week also, "mo ding ding" genna shoot complain emails from overseas office and customer. At these times when you're slogging your guts out and these kind of things happen, its kindda demoralizing. But at least, boss and colleagues understand my situation and what is really going on.
Got a few "funny" phone calls today. No offense meant, but I really cannot understand what they are trying to say when Indian customers/suppliers call me. In fact most of the time, I have to tell them I really cannot understand what they are trying to tell me and ask them to drop me a email... =_=||| Back to the topic, one of the suppliers called me today and mention abt something being rejected. Said a lot but I could not get it and all his sentences ended with "na"?!? So I asked him to drop me a email and in the end, he say so much on phone, only 1 sentence in email. Faintz.
Then before heading back, a supplier from overseas called me saying his customer told him to contact me regarding sending cargo to me. He asked me if I wanted him to send to Miami hub or to SIN? Pengz, I'm in SIN of cos send here lah. Felt like telling him: Why not you send to Miami hub and courier me the round trip tix to Miami instead to retrieve the cargo?
Ok, enough about work cos I'm starting work in another 7hrs plus. Time to go lie down and catch some sleep. Lots of battles to fight again later. Good night and before going off, something interesting and funny to share... =)
