19 Dec 2003 .......
Not a good day...
just got worse & worse as the day dragged on.
1) Morning, suddenly received sms from aunt that grandpa sent to hospital and is in critical condition. Unusual for aunt to break the news instead of mum. dunno whether this sms meant that if i needed to go down too. so just asked "y?". And it was uncle who replied " i say CRITICAL. Old people sickness". then i think after he cooled down, he replied "lung infection, breathing difficulty".
no choice, then ask my sis whether had she also received the news from aunt & if we were needed go go down to hospital. so she just replied , aunt say will tell us if we are needed.
What to do, already so scared....
2) Afternoon, experienced another "Tai-chi' played by my colleagues. The freelance writer had sent us picture, but this gal from art department throw back the CD R to me & said pic are low-res. What to do, the art department can't layout in time and push the blame to as is if it is my fault for not co-ordinating properly.
But I did instruct the writer to give high-res pic, & she knew that herseld and had given the same instructions to the company. I am not the sort who will push the blame to people. And I know the writer is not at fault, cos how would she know if the pictures are of high res or low res.
Later in the afternoon, the company that was supposed to sent 2 of their products boxes failed to sent the items. I did confirmed with the writer yesterday to get the company sent in the boxes today, which she confirmed. Apparently, the person-in-charge did not take action as promised.
Art department grumbled that no pictures for them to lay out. So caused delay.
Whose fault is it??
All pushed to me again.!!!!!!!
3) This year, i had spent more effort and money to make Christmas card for my friends, for fear that i might not be able to send them in the next 3 years (some chinese customs , superstitions, if u know what i mean). Today, the news regarding my grandpa make me fear even more, so quickly called the person who had not meet me up just for a minute to collect his card. He cut my line! imagine that.
Weeks ago, when the card was ready and called him, he replied, will call me back again. no reply since.
Felt so wei3 qu1,and all that stress from work and home make me break down in office.....
4) Checked my SAT results online. Bad news. down by 30 marks from previous test score. even though maths improved by 10 points, the verbal section (english), was down by 30 points...
It was already near midnight then. How much worse could the day gets..........
