as the interim media director, one of my jobs is to update all council websites.running after people to get information to update their websites, accommodating "ASAP" requests of updates at 3 am, sitting up till 4 am working on a ridiculously archaic CMS in which Ctrl-Z results in all images getting getting removed from the page (while the text you wanted to undo stubbornly stays on), taking hours to make the simplest of changes, putting all of my all of my past work-ex, skill and expertise to shame, i was still dragging on...practicing self-motivation to the fullest. until one day, after many days i ran into one of my dearest friends (errmm yes...you got it, you need to run into even ur dearest friends in mba at times...both of you being forced-workholics doesn't help either :P my advice, dont make friends...or dont work so much :P but i digress...),
so as i was saying...after many days of having spent an entire night updating his concerned webpage, i ran into him and this was where all my self inflated delusions of performing a crucial task for my school and the future batches, was shattered and crushed into a fine powder that the wind (which is a rare commodity in Singapore considering its hard to find breeze even at the sea beach!! it came at the most inopportune moment) promptly scattered into the fine dust; and drowned me into the eternal reality of client-vendor relationships.... and my heart almost instantly cried out,
sigh o sigh..
i wonder why...
i take so much pain...
all to no gain...
wen all I seek is client satisfaction...
with my client alas i have no more interaction...
its back to s/w my friend
wen from SRS to bugs, all is yours to design
and yours to defend!!
why my dear faithful reader you ask......
coz after hours of my work and days of waiting to get atleast an acknowledgement the words that befell upon my eager ears were that he had "NOT YET SEEN THE PAGE!!"
alas for him! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and certainly not if she happens to manage ur s/w and control your media + publicity ;)
to start my revenge...i dedicate this post to the One-Who-Has-Not-Seen-The-Page ;) :D
sound the bugles...the war is on!!!
