Arrghh, I just hate it whenever my boss rushes to my cubicle first thing in the morning and insist that I sit in for a meeting. Well, that happened to me early in the morning right after I arrived at the office. I was clueless about the meeting and was never been informed about the agenda or the issues raised by the parties involved. The meeting was to start in 10 minutes and was held in a different tower. Oh well, I guess something came up and he had no choice but to send me as a representative. I was not given the opportunity to gather any info from him on the meeting and its purpose. Oh and the worst part is, he did not have the time to brief me or even forward me any information on the agenda or critical issues that needs to be addressed upon. Damn. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do la huh in situations like this!
So, I read the hardcopy agenda, which I got from a colleague (thank GOD!) while waiting for the lift and trying my best to absorb whatever I can and think of issues that are bound to pop up. I hate that feeling of being unprepared and less equipped while sitting for a meeting. You would not want to be clueless in a meeting where big bosses will be looking directly at you and anticipating answers from you ASAP. I prefer to be fully equipped mentally when they ever decide to drill me on certain issues. :P

Oh well, the meeting went smoothly. They had no issues that involved me.. Fuuh! What a way to start my day eh. Hmm, I guess that’s life. Shit happens!

Used to get a lot of those at my previous place. Somehow, got used to it. Kena pandai goreng hehe. Btw, Azer, you made me start thinking that is probably why my boss always gave me last minute presentations too..done intentionally kot, just to see me gelabah..CISSSSS..
Sis, on the other hand, take it positively, like maybe you perform much better under pressure?????
