series of unfortunate events thanks to ‘first class work culture’

Last week when i was attending a retreat in Subang, i was called upon to attend a seminar on behalf of someone who couldn’t give the commitment to attend on time. The seminar was scheduled on the last day of our retreat programme. Being thankful of the offer, i agreed. But i clearly said that i will participate after my programme had ended, in other words i will be missing the first 4 hours of the seminar.

On the last day of the retreat, as i was rushing to go back to my office in jalan Damansara to send-in a few things and then straight to Bukit Bintang to attend the short notice event, i received a call informing that my place was already taken by a higher ranked officer whom i supposed to fill in after she had failed to confirm her attendance the day before. They apologized for the inconvenience.

I was not disappointed, but felt tired (coz i did rush to get all things settled before i can join the so called seminar invitation). I went straight back home. After all, me and my colleague went to bed late every night during the retreat just to finish the work and presented the material we made the next day.

Today, the same event happened. My 4 days course was cancelled at the very last minute; while i am already at the reception to check-in. What a waste of time and money.

Although the venue is in Bukit Bintang, the same place as the previous cancelled seminar, i had to spend my sunday afternoon traveling into the city center, not to mention cancelling a few plan for next week only to find out i was there for nothing.

I’m currently pissed irritated of the so called professional behaviour of the organizer (i swear i will do everything in my power to black list this training provider) and of course seek an explanation from the ‘high authorities’ who planned this course. They of course, apologizes for the inconvenience caused. Yeah apologize my ass.

Reached home somewhere around 4pm.

The bottomline is i’m not giving in to these people who cause me all the troubles twice. Sekali bleh la maaf, dua kali tu baik hati sangat. Cuma aku tak la naik angin dalam telefon tadi. I’m not the type who will easily blow my top off. Just that i’m not the forgiving type. Dalam kehidupan ni, beruntung kalau sekali buat silap orang maafkan, untuk dapat peluang kali kedua tu jarang-jarang…
