I Dont Want To Be A Pet...

Rose has a very demanding boss. Being a female species myself, I cant help but to agree that (most) female bosses are hard to please.

Rose has been helping boss do a presentation for her trade meeting in China. Usually, this is done by one of her ‘pet’. But even the most faithful pet cannot withstand the stress caused by the various demands from boss. She fell sick, and was not able to work anymore. I took over the heavy responsibility of completing the presentation.

Rose had thought that it would be easy, bcos ‘pet’ had already done most of the work. Piece of cake, Rose thought. HOW TERRIBLY WRONG Rose is!

After the first draft Rose did and shown boss, boss of cos made A LOT of changes. Nevermind. Rose made changes. Rose showed boss the amended copy. Boss decided that she wanted alignment in between the empty spaces. Rose changed. Boss decided she wanted the picture bigger. Rose made picture bigger. Boss decided she wanted to standardize the document. Rose standardized. Boss decided picture is too big and wanted it smaller. Rose made picture smaller. Boss decided that alignment should be overall, not empty spaces. Rose aligned again. Boss wanted bigger words. Rose made words bigger. Boss decided document need not be standardized. Rose made changes. Boss wanted smaller words. Rose changed words smaller. Boss did not like the colour of the heading. Rose changed…… Boss decided… Rose…

Having changed the document for the 100th time, Boss decided that she did not have time to change anymore. Boss was leaving the next day. Boss needed to go for her facial appointment. And left Rose to make THE FINAL changes. Rose completed the changed, which she felt that Boss should be happy with now. Rose called Boss to drop by to collect the document.

After I passed Boss the document, I could feel my heart lift. I was practically skipping back to the lift lobby. I did this silly dance in the lift lobby with this silly grin on my face, thinking that no one will see me, except maybe for the security guards looking at the surveillance camera. In the middle of the silly dance, the lift door opened, and this quite handsome guy walked out. The silly grin was still plastered to Rose’s face. HOW EMBARASSING!!!! He must be thinking I am crazy!!!!!

Rose hereby thanks all her dear friends who tolerated with her constipated face and spoilsport mood for the past week. And to dear Bubbles and Gangster who helped her find the logo.

Mucks to all of you!!!!
