The refreshment glitch
Ah, alas! Something had to go wrong... But I suppose thankfully it wasn't a huge glitch and I learnt a valuable lesson from it. So I have been busy helping boss organise this inter-agency meeting the past few weeks and today was it! Then... the refreshments did not come on time. Ok, called ppl to check and they casually told me, oh it's on the way. So wait... Then, like hmm something is wrong why past time still nobody come. Call again. Then, to my horror, these NEXUS ppl too blur and forgot my order... When they finally found the order I put in, tried to make amendments and prepared my order immediately. But unfortunately meeting still started b4 my refreshments arrived (meant to be on table nicely served on little plates to all the VIP attendees prior to meeting) and so ph2 and i waited outside for the food.... then spent the next half hour or so in pantry putting everything tog nicely in plates for ppl.... then fret about how to go and interrupt meeting to serve food... haha at one point i felt so bai2 chi1... Guess have to do it then have to do it lor. And we did :) Lesson learnt: Dun assume ppl can deliver... sometimes it pays to be paranoid lah. Perhaps the really good thing that came out of this was that there was so much leftovers in the end then my colleagues got all the free food (which was actually quite tasty) :P Also escaped from taking minutes the first 1/3 of the meeting hehe..... But maybe boss is now thinking... this girl ah, ask her do this small thing also can screw up........
