ytd, i was really upset.
i made a small mistake but it costs alot.
i booked a flight for my boss to vietnam, he was supposed to depart at 5:40pm.
he reached the airport and realised that he does not have vietnam visa.
he called the office back at 4:55pm. but visa embassy closes at 5pm.
so, my boss did not board the plane. two other colleagues who was supposed to go with him did not board too.
the air tickets are forfeited and that costs at least $2000 leh! and my boss biz plans all are messed up...
when my boss called back, i was really lost for words. i have no idea that he is using an american passport. (he is a singapore pr, u see, neither do i know the procedures to apply for a visa) no one told me anything... anyway, this was the senior secretary's job but she (xxx) was on leave for 4 days. so, i took on the job.
i felt really really bad at that time. regardless of how i can say its-not-my-fault, im still at fault. i could have done many things... i could have asked about the procedures, i could have read on the procedures,...
i guess my colleague (xxx) can tell that i was on the verge of crying... she comforted me lah...
"boss sld have known it himself, he went overseas countless times..."
"travel agent sld have told you..."
at that time, i was comforted that i have her (xxx) i asked her(xxx) if i sld apologies to my boss,(i mean that is basic manners right?), she advised me not to as he may be still angry. so, i listened to her (xxx)
but i guess i just forgot that humans are always selfish... :S
she(xxx) sms my boss on her own behalf to apologise. and told him that she was totally ignorance of my doings. (and she's taking leave the next day, leaving me alone to do my boss visa so that he can fly the first flight the nx day...)
i feel so stupid, angry, sad, i dont-know-what!... im being stabbed in my back by her(xxx) despite trusting her, believing in her...it just sux...
furthermore, my boss called the travel agent this time round himself to book flight the next day. (guess he dont trust me to book for him?)
and... the travel agent told my boss that
"i told her already, that visa is needed. she said you have..."
im utterly speechless. everyone pushes the blame to me. yes, im to be blame. but dont they feel that they sld also be responsible too??? or do they feel that im just a temp, so can just push it to me??? I DONT LIKE THIS AT ALL...
truthfully speaking, i can just quit, today, i can just not turn up for work... but i still turned up. i just cant wait for july to come, and then aug... im suffocating in this office!!!
Luckily today she(xxx) is on leave. i dont know how to face her. sometimes i feel sincere kindness towards me... is it all pretence? i guess im just a temp staff- that's y?...
