I'd always been told by my friends that the my job seems to be some what more sophisticated compare to other white collars. Well, here comes the truth straight from the horse mouth, believe me, my job is as boring as yours, well, maybe 10X more demanding and exhaustive. My job scope is not only involves the business development activities, but also multitasking as a receptionist, Shauffer, postmen, even F1 driver (you'll know what i mean).
Just to give you a peek at a typical Wednesday in my life.
630am
Alarm rings, am still tossing and turning around. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
635am
Suddenly jump out of bed, getting paranoid, rushed to bathroom
650am
Putting up my minimalistic makeup (bodyshop mineral face powder and black eye liner) and boring working attire (black long pants, spaghetti strap tee and jacket). Checking all my accessories in the bag- house and car keys, pendrive, purse, handphone, socks (yes, i only wear socks when i reach the office because all my high heels lives underneath my office table) and another millions of small insignificant accessories.
715am
Cruising on the road, listening to hitz.fm; occasionally sing like a mad fella to the radio; occassionally bites my lips to stop myself from cursing whenever someone cutting the queque or cornering me.
And occasionally ponders about insignificant things from what life is all about to why the traffic lights only have 3 colors.
755am
Reaching the office, thank God that there is still 5 mins before i'm late to check into the timetrax system.
"Mary, milo KAO please....."
Sipping my milo while checking my cooperate emails, 10 emails to reply, great...
830am
Internal meeting with management, projects progress review and blah blah blah...
* eyes rolling *
10am
Finalizing the tender documents for submission, boss was not happy with the final figure and asking for further mark up. Refuse to compromise and argued with him on why that will kill the whole proposition.
(whenever he was not looking at my direction of course)
1015am
Argument continues.... looking at my watch, 1 hour and 30 minutes to go before tender closes. Ok, i gave up! whatever you say boss, whatever you say.
Boss smiled happily.
1030am
Boss finally signs and stamps the documents, the whole admin team went havoc with the last minute printing and binding. They must be cursing me silently inside...
1115am
Finally the documents is ready. Rushed to the carpark. Took a deep breath and here we go my dear (Myvi), the rest is fast and furious.
1130am
Traffic Jam at Federal Highway. Great....
X10
1150am
Reach Jabatan Kimia Malaysia, PJ 10 mins before tender closes. Run to their Financial Department in my high heels and drop the application documents into the tender box.
Phew...
1200pm
Back to the office. Team members ping me, vendor mis called, boss asked where are you?
for the 100th times of the day.
3pm
Talk to team members, vendor, client, boss and 101 other person on the list. Finally all smile and walk away in satisfaction, my list of work for the day increases to 1o1.
By the way, whats the time? i need my lunch!!
5pm
Forget about lunch, i've only reach the item 10 in my 101 list. Colleagues start to pack their things and bid goodbyes to me. Yeah yeah... Selamat buka puasa...
505pm
The entire office is empty and silent. i can hear the sound of my finger hitting the laptop's keyboard.
This is suck.
530pm
Thats it! i'm going back home. Nothing can stop me, not even the remaining unfinished 81 tasks on my list.
6pm
Traffic jam.. eavesdropping to kill my time, well, not intentionally cuz the neighbor car driver is talking so loud on his phone... Hallo Mr, stop blaming your girlfriend for dumping you, who on earth can stand you nagging nonstop over petty things like an old nanny.
615pm,630pm, 645pm, 7pm... still stuck in jam... Of course its your fault Mr, you are not just naggy, but also a control freak and dictator....
710pm
Reach Wangsa Maju, driving rounds and rounds before i found an empty parking space. Peter still on his way. Munching my bak gua buns and finally stomach stop protesting.
745pm
Peter finally reached. He looked as exhaustive as me, squeezed his hand and give him "i understand" look. Silence speaks a thousand words.
8pm
Sent Peter back home, played around with miko and Quiqui (doggies) for a while, rushing to the church for the sketch pratice
11pm
Finally reach home.... after yawned a hundreds times. Hair messy and smell like a stinky old lady.
1115pm
zzz.....

My work is so much more relaxing than yours i guess. But can't blog as openly because i suspect one of my collegue is following my post :(
But roughly, everyday is the same:
6:20 alarm went off, Casper greeting with the wet nose, and climb up the bed.
6:30 immediately wake up and into bath room, shower, hair blowing, etc
7:00 wake up the husband
7:10 to train station
7:18 train to work (45 mins ride, my devotion is done on the train,my bad no time! :( )
8:00 reach office, order my toast, make coffee, check mail, reply mail,read blog, read news
8:30 start working
10:30 morning tea, and i do mean morning tea as everyone rush to the tea room and chit chat and there will be biscuits or cakes or scones, depends.
11:00 resume work
12:30 lunch (lunch is provided too)
1:30 work resume
3:15 end of work, start of life
4:00 hit the gym, work out like hell
5:30 another 45 mins train ride
6:30 cook dinner
and then is the butt uhoed to the couch until the TV watching me!!
Not bad i guess.
HAHA
It sounds u did fully ultilise all ur time n energy in ur daily life. Well done!!!
No matter what, I tend to get new outfits, accessories and etc from time to time. I encourage myself always look cheerful, tidy, "presentable" and smiling with my working outfits. It's not only cheer up other people but myself. One of my ex-colleague ever said that she is checking my working outlooks when I entre the office every morning.She said this may help her release tension wow....
To Kim,
I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic in your comment but it sounds like you get through your days by focusing on being vain and being a tad obnoxious.
