Other People's Procrastination Would Give Me A Heart Attack
Another ordinary Wednesday it may be, but for me Wednesdays have always been the busiest day at work. Aside from being a Hump Day, we call this day as the Vendor Day, the VCon Day and Invoice Day.
Invoice Day means paperwork match-up. I get tons of piled up invoices from different vendors for me to match with the right costs and quantities of received items. Yeah, manual checking. But once you get used to it, it's really easy. The only thing I don't like about this is when our system crashes. Obviously, that means I can't access the correct costs and quantities.
Vendor Day is the only day of the week when different Vendors/Direct Manufacturers visit our office to meet up with the different buying category supervisors in order to present new products or talk about advertising plans or goals. Every supervisor is tied up with meetings talking with "suits" and "skirts" (that's what I call them). This is why on Wednesdays every associate in the company is expected to dress up too. I normally wear my skirts, but today I didn't feel like it. It's cold!
VCon Day is the Video Conference Day that all supervisors host for the stores to watch weekly. They present company sales numbers through Powerpoint Slides (over 100 slides) which I was requested to do every week. (I got used to doing it actually.) We have this video conference room where they air to all the stores live nationwide. Cool huh?
The problem is this... I always ask my supervisors to provide me the sales number report on Mondays but they assume that it is okay to give it to me anytime they want. They would procrastinate in giving it to me and so I end up cramming and getting stressed when Wednesday comes. It's not supposed to be my job to create the slides in the first place! I'm the one asked to just help yet I'm the one ending up with a heart attack. Uurrgghh!
I wonder what they would do if I tell them, "I'm tired of doing YOUR paperwork and powerpoint, I want to do just my job and not YOURS." I'm sure they would be jumping around restless, trying to figure out how to meet the deadline and all (or they would just fire me hahaha). Geez! Seriously, when Wednesday comes, I'm having palpitations that I've never imagined experiencing at my age. I hate running after people and ask them for the sales number list (or anything for that matter). I don't like to look like a puppy dog running after my owner for a piece of biscuit. From Monday to Wednesday morning, I always run after this one particular supervisor (let's call him Mr. Penguin since he walks like one) that makes my blood boil. He has no respect of other people's time and effort. I just hate it. (But I still end up doing the work anyway... I whine too much huh? hahaha.)
I also wonder if this company is just full of procrastinating people. I have done my part in voicing out my interest of transferring to a new department, yet no action has ever been given. They said it's an open-door policy, yet nothing has been processed. They probably have the paper-request somewhere and just procrastinating to process it. Is this a virus? A disease? Is there a cure for procrastinating people? What is the mutha-fuckin' reason for their procrastinating asses anyway??? Well, excuse my language, but here's the reason why:
I'm trying to check our associate handbook and those rules aren't really included. So, why on earth are they done??? SIGH. Sorry, I'm just venting.
