3 month and I'm out! (Part 1)

My life as an assistant event producer end short in just 3 month.... it's the shortest job I have ever had... At first I thought that I have found a really fun full time job, as I'm going do a concert!!! My very first concert!~! So excited!~! but this excitement do not last long and when the day of the event started I simply cannot contain myself and wish it to finish ASAP. All because of my boss. The sage of my boss started 2month ago when our client came for their press release in Singapore. I was asked to bring my client out for photo shoot that is when everything begin. I simply hate my boss because i hate her behavious... super low EQ person... every where she go we simply need to clear her shit... like a storm, she simply sweep everyone off.

The 1st dinner at equinox was the most embracing moment of my life. When we first make the booking we already tell her that the table we are getting for them can only seat 10pax and the rest have to sit a table away... when we reach there the TW agent say why can't everyone sit together... for goddness sake they have like 13 pax!!! how to squeeze there? despite that my boss demand that all 13 of them to be seat together!~~!!~~ ah!~~~~~~~ the start of the nightmare... well everyone should know that restaurant organize their manpower based on the number of pax at the table... and so due to lack of manpower that day they only assign 1 waiter to serve 13 people!!! *faint* the service became slow... water was sever very very slow... and everyone of us is panicking as we know what our boss will do.. we try our best to avoid such embracing moment... we try to hurry the waiter and even have thought of serving the drinks ourselves... only to get a remark, "this is fine dining, not fast food".., well we try our best... but still cannot avoid my boss going after the restaurant manager to give him a hard time of complaining that their service was bad!!!! That was not the end of it... her credit card was swipe to the max and she could not pay for meal!!! ahhhhhhhhhh $3000++ dinner and she do not have money... what if that day mama su is not there, who has so much money to pay for it!~!~~! the restaurant manager came back with her card and say that it cannot be charge... than she start to complain that it must be the hotel that lock her credit card... so mama su offer her credit card and when the manager return he said,"At least your bank is working!" Oh gosh, that is so embracing...

The next day after the press conference, I have to bring the client for photo shoot... that's when all the fire starts to spark. My boss did not follow because she has a production meeting. So bring them to botanical garden, mount faber, sentosa, night safari... very disorganize photo shoot as the makeup artist any how put her stuff, etc and we have to help her pick up along the way as we move from one area to another... I think I was very sway also.. 1st I had a insect bite during my nick event and left a ugly scar on my feet... and during the photo shoot I was bite by unknown and my leg swell!!!! at first i thought maybe I'm tired after walking the whole day which most of the time I usually will but despite that I still continue to bring them around. Then my boss called and start "screaming" where we are, blar blar... and ask me why I never report to where where we go, etc. DUH!!! it does not cross my mind that I need to!!! coz I never need to report to my boss during my shoot. Plus, I' m concentrating to move them from one location to another, where got time to think that I have to report to you? So she tell me to call her when we move to another location. When we are like 30min in the location, she called and again and said, " I know that you all are enjoying yourself, can hear you all laughing, etc but can you tell the boss that she is worried and have been calling to check on them, etc" Oh please loh, I felt all these is soooooooooooooooo fake. You know where we are, etc why not you come and look for us after your production meeting? That spark my anger and I was very angry with her... "you accusing my professionalism that I'm playing and din't do my work?"- was what keep ringing in my mind that night, I refuse to talk to her cause I was so furious and when I'm angry I tear so to avoid that I refrain from talking to her. Despite that she kept calling, so I asked my colleague to help me answer, and she make my colleague to tell the boss that she has been calling, etc. When we tell her that the group is coming back, she question us "why they want to go back hotel, did we make them do so, etc." WE??? in what rank or position we have to make them come back to hotel? So everyone was back, and of coz my face is still red from my anger. When they all went out to their room, she turn around and started to "scold" us, "why we embarrass her, etc", that's the last straw I'm going to get from her. Go suck the client ball if you want, I think I have did my best within my professionalism limit. I hate PR-ing and don't know how to PR, you think I'm not doing my job, fine I QUIT!!!!! before I left she told me that I don't need to bring them out for photo shoot the next day, "good for me" that's how I felt. If you are so good, you bring them out yourself. I sms her when I left the hotel that I'm quiting! She accepted my resignation on the very next sms. And that was not it, she msg me back say that "I need to serve one month notice and I better don't foul up her pre-sale on the weekend." FOUL UP!!! you undermine my professionalism to be so petty that I'm sabotaging my work? you must be crazy to say that to me, and I think if suntec city is not build on solid foundation, I believe it will be brought down by my scream that night. When I saw that blood is boiling to high temperature. Then she called! She called and said in the most disgusting sweet voice that you can imagine, "can you please come tomorrow to bring them out for photo shoot?" I said, "I think your fine to bring them yourself." "Oh, no no, I felt that it will be better if you bring them and settle them down, can you do me this favour?" "FINE!~!~ I will do this favour for you!!! I want to leave immediately!~!~ I don't want to serve a month notice and if I cannot I want to pay my way out!" At that moment, I don't even want to stay a minute near her! it disgust me! and you know what she say, "I'm not too sure, I have to check with A. But its subject to my approval." I feel like going back to hotel to slap her and tear her to piece, if you know what I mean. Never in my life that someone really irritate the hell out of me, unleashing the devil of me.
Despite that I did bringing the client to shoot for another day....

After the client left, it's time to settle the score between me and her. My resignation!!! I tell you, she is not a simple woman! She know very well my character, so she goes around telling my colleague, how sorry she was, etc and that I'm leaving she felt sad, etc. She knew very well that all these will get to my ear and my colleagues will ask me to stay, etc. She even tell everyone during our post event meeting that she scared that I was still angry with her the next day that she was the one who say hello me and even invite us several time to go for the farewell dinner but it's me that I din't go perhaps I was still angry with her. ANGRY! Please loh, she make us buy farawell gifts- bak gua, pandan cakes and needed to give them on the way to the airport and you expect me to turn up for the dinner?? Unless I have a twin sister, I don't think I can go lor. But all the time she make it sound like I was the petty one! After that, we have a chit-chat. Been a simple person, and I really wanted to complete what I have started I decided to stay. That's when I make the stupid mistake - to let her continue to torture me with her LOW EQ!!!
