for the effort that i've put in since last yr, and the $$$ i help to reap for the co, boss have awarded me with something i think i'm going to remember for my entire career/professional life
an all paid-for road trip around peninsular malaysia with 2 'girls'
we're leaving next tuesday and the trip will take 11 days. it's my first outstation assignment. i'm suppose to meet all my clients, hand some brochures, hold some redundant casual conversations, my business card, and make an impression so much so that they'll remember me, and the company.
this is what they refer to as Customer Relationship Management.
so who's the driver? me
who's the navigator? me
who's going to do the talking? me
who's going to prepare the paperwork/letters/pamphlets?me
and whose car??? mine!!!
arrghh..
have i driven off-highway long distance before? barely
have my dear waja? no way
do we know the exact adresses? no
do we have a time constraint? yes
are we specialist in the product? hell no!
ok... i know this will sound soo mengada2. aku pun dah menyampah type. but tak kisahla.. tgh bengang tahap maksimum. boss suka buat mcm ni.. smua last minute and expect wonders. dahla tu, siap suruh jimat2.. hotel pun suruh share satu bilik, sebab tu hantar semua perempuan. journey pun suruh cepat2 takut rugi allowance outstation. kau hantar aku gi 100+ klinik2 kat ceruk2 tu, suruh dirve cepat2, jauh2..untuk senyumsenyumsalamsalam? hish.. kalau pasal customer, semua benda nak tiptop.. kalau pasal staff.. semua kena jimat. sayang company konon! company pun tak sayang kita.
first board companyla konon. blooming business. bright prospect. international tie. nation's pride. report kat klse juta2.
bonus? senyaaappp je... ee..jgn kutuk, periuk nasik aku, jgn kutuk... sayang company.. sayang..maybe over reaction je kot ni.. manja sgt. dah biasa dok dlm ofis aircond, tgk pc. suruh kluar sikit komplen (dlm blog je la)
mcm mana nak handle this. i'm having myriad of emotions. right now i'm excited, terrified, worried and exhausted.
anyway, semalam tgk bola best. abe tak pegi pun. frens yg patut nak jumpa and shout profanities together tak jumpa pun. but it was fine. best sgt actually. letih tetapi lega. hehe.. should do this more often. coupled with news of above assignment.. mmg i can turn into a typical fanatic malaysian football fan (jerit lebih dari coach/team manager, sign languages-jari tgh specifically, auto enrichment of profanities vocabulary-in different languages and dialect,
