i think today was the day that i really had to just break down and cry. miscommunication? nope, i dun think so. you might be asking why, but saddly to say the issue is not FINALLY over. in fact the nightmare is half way there.
dun be curious. i;ll tell u the whole 2-day event story of my first-issue-hand-over-as-the untolerable cd.and all i can blame now is myself,but due to the time. any jack,tom,dickie or hairy will tell you that 5 days is too short to have the layout ready.also,5 days is also not enough when i also have other commitment like work and my trip.
a)wednesday. Mona told me to go school,meet elaine with my laptop,since i cant have a hardcopy for her. elaine will tell me wat is needed to be change. so at least i dun have to and fro to school.
b)wednesday. i told mona to email me the articles again. just in case elaine wanna check them thru.
c)thursday. my car broke down.took the bike. with the laptop.it's heavy,u know. so there i was,all set for the presentation when elaine just had to break the news to me that she wanted the hardcopy. and yet she didnt say i could bring my laptop. she made sense for me actually. IN FACT, now i know there is another level of approval. elaine wanted the hard copy. and for a fact,she thought i already have the hardcopy. which i told mona specifically that i cant get it in a short period of time.

this is where i just broke down. i came down all the way thinking that today will be the last of the issue thingy when it wasnt. i was f*cking pissed. really really pissed. and the worst thing was that, i got accuse OF NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION.
here's the catch,the printer guy said they wanted in PDF format. I TRUTHFULLY understand that. but when i do my designs and stuff, i was told by zaki to save it as eps. then to pagemaker. zaki never had problem with giving the printer guys the pagemaker format.but when it comes to my batch....sigh....
i'm not angry at mona for no reason. it's just that i';m so angry when she make it like it's totally my fault that i can't convert it into pdf and cant make a hard copy for elaine and worst of all, ACCUSE ME OF NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS!if i were to fail in following instructions,u know what i'll do? i'll just push everything to bryan to do this. do you actually think i'm doing all this shit for nothing? HALO!!! i have got a full exco who counts on me. just because i can't work with one black sheep,doesnt mean i have to let down the rest.
FYI, i managed to format it back to pdf. not for u,but for us. and FYI, i managed to get elaine the hardcopy. and also FYI, elaine likes my designs. if i were to leave the exco now, u better count your ass lucky if bryan stays.
fuhhh..... that's a relieve off my chest. now that i have told the world about my heart-breaking day, it's time to evaluate. i've decided that if all the exco are pissed about how i do work around here and don;t like the damn next issue, then i'll take my ass away from that cd's seat. like i said, count your selves lucky if bryan stays. btw, i hope bryan dun feel too pressure by me...ehhehe...
