~Felt So Unappreciated~

Well....it's Monday and my day started with the suckiest news ever. The usual....work related drama.

It all started last Friday morning. One of our biggest clients informed us that the original proposal we sent him was way off by 80%...not even specifying to us what was wrong with the proposal. So basically we had to scramble our way through with this last minute change. And to top it off, the proposal and costing needs to go out on a Monday morning....which is...today.

So on Friday, ¾ of the day has been wasted with brainstorming sessions for the revised proposal and by the time I had to do the costing, it was already 5:00PM! And my boss had to leave on time as he had plans with his family already. Being the good staff that I am, I stayed on to do my task without any complaints. I was actually happy to do it coz it has to do with numbers! But unfortunately, the task proved too much for me. It was already 01:00AM and I was still stuck in the office with the costing only half done. And even though my boss had checked it from home, I somehow knew that changes might need to be done.
In the end, I left the office at 02:00AM on a Saturday morning. Ugh!...can't believe I stayed in the office THAT long on a Friday night. How sad is that??? Got a good scolding from my boyfriend too...which makes it even more frustrating.

Since I haven't finished my work, I thought I'd do it at home the next day. I then realised I don't have the full information I needed for my costing. So to work I went..on a Sunday afternoon. Work??? On Sunday??? yes....I'm turning into a workaholic, which I try to avoid being. So my target to be in the office was only for about 3hours.....which in the end ended up being 7 hours. (Mind you, that I am not being paid overtime for this). It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have an appointment last night. Had to cancel dinner with an old friend.

Sooooo ANNOYING!!!! I was looking forward to my dinner/drinks with my friend. I haven't seen her in like.....8 years since high school. Sheesh....the things you do for work? Or at least not to be called a SLACKER. And you know...the best part of all this. It's the cherry on top of my bad week/weekend at work...after hours and days doing the costing and taking advise from my boss.....I came in today with the most disappointing feeling in my life! I saw emails after emails sent early in the morning today. It seems that my boss actually came back this morning to make the changes in my costing. I mean, it's fine and all. But the thing is, it's EVERYTHING that I've done! What the F**K!

"I am leaving office now. Too tired and can't think properly now and it will be inaccurate costing and rush job (which already is) from here even if I force myself to continue. I am still left with the following (which I am literally crying out loud for help now!) "

The above was what he said.

So tell me people...what's the point of me doing this and not a single thing is being used or even for my boss not to tell me what he's doing? Reading his emails totally gave me a heartache. Is he trying to say I have not even contributed to a single thing? Did I mess up the whole calculations? You know, this wouldn't have happen if the F**K-ing client didn't ask for a last minute change and wants it on a Monday!
