i am so frustrated. what a way to start the morning.
my coworker told me to make sure that i was on time this morning because he had a freight service coming by to pick up some furniture that we sold. he told me that the furniture would be out and ready for him in front of our elevator. this was on monday afternoon.
this morning i made sure that i left a bit earlier than usual to get here at 8am. the freight service was already here and waiting for me by the time i arrived. i felt bad that he was waiting. i hurried up to our warehouse to send the elevator down to him, but i don't see any boxes of furniture in front of the elevator as i was told. i called up norm and asked him where it was. "oh shoot, i forgot to tell uncle wong to set it out" what? how could you forget? what am i gonna tell the freight guy, i shouted in my head. instead of yelling at him, i said in a disappointed voice, 'norman lau...' then instead of taking the critism, he blamed the mishap on me. "i forgot to tell uncle wong to take it out yesterday. remember, i told YOU to remind me!" what?!?! wtf? how did this become my fault when on monday he had just told me that he was going to have everything ready for me? i was just to make sure that i was here on time. grrrr..... i apologized profusely to the driver and told him that my coworker would be here at 8:45 and pull out the furniture to send.
ok, so uncle wong is here and i asked him if he knew about the order. he said no. grrr... i had to call up norm and ask him what the order was. he said he gave it to me already... no... it's on his desk then. i gave it to uncle wong and he said that the bed was going to be difficult to get out and ready. it's now 8:39 and the poor delivery guy is waiting in his truck. hopefully uncle wong moves quick and gets the furniture out soon. ok uncle wong is back telling me that we don't have anymore of that bedroom set to send. WHAT?
this incident here, makes me feel good about my decision to interview for the county of san mateo. it's going to be today at 4:30 after my doctor's appointment. it worked out really well because i wanted to see a doctor to check on this lump that i found on me, no worries, i'm sure that it's a cyst or something, but with so many scares out there, i just wanted to make sure. anyhow i was able to set up the interview after the doctor's appointment so that i didn't have to explain where i was going today besides seeing the doctor.
ok it's 8:50 and uncle wong JUST located the furniture in the warehouse to send out. he's pulling it all out now. i feel so bad, but it's the price we pay for being SOOO unorganized here.
i need structure in the workplace
i need good communication in the workplace
i need a new workplace
i have a feeling that i won't get this job at san mateo ... but at least it will get my foot in the door with the county jobs. luck be with me. *crossing fingers and toes* i'm so nervous!
12:00 noon
norm came in and apologized to me
i feel better now
12.45pm
