i have this love, hate relationship with my bosses.
whatever i do is never enough for them.
'' is very good, but it can be better.''
Flagship store is opening next Friday.
& i got almost everything ready.
i probably already missing something out.
& he keeps tellin' me ''no hiccups''
of cos i dont want any hiccups. but shit happens, you'll never know.
he also expect me to learn how they build the fixtures up.
'' do you know i'm there every morning & night? & do u know how's the progress?''
'' yes, i know the fitting rooms were up alrdy.''i said & i could hear him making funny noises while i was talking.
ok.he dont want to listen to my excuses & he thinks that i should camp there & see how they build the whole shop.( I'll probably get myself rape by the construction workers there.)
Though i'm not there, i still call the contractor up to check on the progress, but this is not enough for him.i tried to think why should i do that. This whole thing doesnt makes sense to me anymore.
He wants me to design the interior of our future outlets?
I think twice & that's part of VM.
ok. I LL.
There were acrylic signages that need to be made for the new outlet, so i get my events contractor to do it & get me a quote. he quote me at $1400. my common sense tells me is cheap, furthermore i've been workin with him for quite some time he wouldnt have raise the price too much.
thn my lady boss goes "how you know he's the cheapest? you should get 2 more other quotes & bring down his price.''
in my heart i was thinking i'm running outta time, stop making things difficult for me.
''orh. ok.'' i said.
so this morning i got another quotation from another company which is $1520 & emailed it to her.
& i also managed to get my event contractor to do the acrylic stuff free for me cos the previous window display he did was incomplete.
Few hours later, i got her sms saying ''rebecca pls proceed with anson ( the contractor) on the acrylic works even if we have to pay higher this round as your tuition fee we have to. Central project must be a success with no delays. Understand?''
Wada hell.. wad tuition fee? i need tuition fee for my inexperience????!!!!
i felt completely insulted.
i tried my best to give her the best quote & she said i need tuition fee.
''I'm getting it done for free i dont need any tuition fee'' i feel like replying that, but i humji.
''ok''
& she's totally contradicting herself. is this clear directions she gave me? i dont think so.
Commercial Projects Manager cum Visual Merchandiser
i only have a pair of hands. i'm not god.
Wah lau... i feel like a cheap labour.
not happy lor.
just because my full time job doesnt pay well, i'm taking up 3 jobs at a time. i cant believe it.
sometimes i really wonder whether i really deserve this.
