Girl Friday

I am humbled by the experience of being a girl friday. Don't get me wrong. I did not put on a skirt or dress. No such thing. I'm straight as an arrow remember?

Things at the office has been crazy of late. Right after our sumandak left us for greener pastures, the office has never been the same. She used to handle all the admin stuff in the office for 5 good years of her life. Just a couple of days ago my operations guys was pretty upset with the new girl and complained how she didn't know this or that and i realised that it is not a personal attack on the new girl but it was kinda like he was experiencing the "Missing Sumandak Syndrome" just like i was too. We were both kinda lost without her. She used to be the link that connected our whole operations with HQ, our clients & amongst us KL staffers, we were left just to fill in the blanks. Now that she has left, we are left to scratching our heads.

What has made things more chaotic was our technical gal "bombed" right after the Raya weekend and our new gal that just joined us a week before techy gal bombed is currently on Deepavali leave for 2 days. So i have been the "girl friday" for the past 2 days. Doing quotations, printing & keying in DOs, checking prices, answering calls and attending to customers, keying in collections...the whole nine yards. It is one hell of a stretch! I have only been at it for 2 days and i feel the stress and our sumandak has been at it and through it for 5years!!!

I salute you...Superwoman or should i say....SuperSumandak!!!
