Gosh, that was a knotty one.
--
besides the lack of sleep, bad throat, impending fever and a full day schedule, the day honestly couldn't get any worse, or so i thought.
what i fail to anticipate was the quality of the meeting/assignments that awaited me and how that could have upgraded matters from bad to horrid, or should i say.. downgrade?
--
so my entire journey started off with a meeting with the GM of nEbO which i must say was not what i expected to be.
emotions aside, i must say that there was indeed a substantial gap with regards to the platform of which both parties were speaking from.
it was terribly knotty for us from our end as the other was rather fixated on his ideas and was unwilling to listen to our opinions with regards to the issue of "youths". not only were our suggestions shot down, but it came across to my fellow intern and i that we were not allowed to have a voice and were required to follow his orders and no one else's even if they were (honestly not the most appropriate)
somehow as we took steps to reach a compromise, the more defensive and pushy he became, which was extremely deterring, until it came to a point of where things became tiresome and the few of us just wanted to back this off and walk away.
why was it impossible to convince him that we were/ARE a team and we were/are not against him?
ugh
--
next came the singtel sms assignment which i had to rush frantically for as the previous meeting had dragged slightly past the expected time.
as i made my way down, i felt that i was being guilt tripped for being a little late with the calls of how this and that was happening and (okay i take it upon myself, cause yes, i was late)i'm sorry for that. but when i reached the event site, nat and i were completely taken aback by how the rest of the team did not make any efforts to start first or whatsoever.
okay pettiness aside, the team managed to finally pull our act together, and we almost met out target for the day. which i must say was great effort on everyone's part.:))
