Sometimes in the line of work (or duty, well in my case, work) you get to meet all sorts of people. Some interesting ones, some smart ones, some professional ones... and of course occasionally some dumb ones.
I quite pride myself in the way I handle my work; my clients and my interpersonal relationships as a person, colleague, friend.
I don't think I'm the sort to cross the line or push the wrong buttons on people. Neither do I think I'm a bad speaker; in fact I think i'm quite able to communicate fluently in both english and mandarin. Occasionally Hokkien, or Cantonese or even a wee bit of Japanese.
I don't think its hard to understand my explanations at all.
But I have never, I repeat, never come across such a unlikable personality. I have never come across a person who does not know her own stuff, does not get the point and yet, always wants to go for that something extra and do a "perfect" presentation. I can't appreciate a person who cannot conceptualize, doing up a concept. I have never gone through so many amendments in my entire half a year or so of work. I have
Dear crazy girl,
NEVER seen or heard of anyone who is in the line of advertising, media, marketing, print or the arts have such a bad gauge of perspective. Never mind if you keep changing your stuff, never mind that you occupy my entire day just to tell me ONE TINY AMENDMENT nor the freaking two hour conversations off office hours. Never mind that I waste my entire day just focusing on your requirements because you keep stalking my office line, so much so that I have no time to serve the other ten clients who need my aid as well. Never mind that you amend your artworks again even before the first amendments come in. Never mind that you keep shrieking in my ear and screaming your head off in some unknown alien tongue that my mortal ears are unable to comprehend. Never mind that you do not understand the word busy or lunch, or "i'll call you back".
Never mind all that.
But I cannot take it when you scream at me about something that is exactly similar to that craptastic piece of jpg that you gave me to work with. When I get my designers to do you an artwork (of a higher and better resolution than that pixelated piece of shit) for your superimpose. And you, whom i guess has serious perspective issues, and lacks the sense of understanding that normal people do, can call me and scream at me that I have given you the wrong artwork.
And when I want to explain and advice you, you just keep screaming and talking all sorts of crap in a superfast and shrieky pace; nobody understands you. i can't hear you when you are shrieking in my ear. I cannot help you if you do not let me explain the drawing to you, I cannot advice you if you refuse to listen.
You generally have a lack of aesthetic sense. Oh, and you don't read your own emails, even those from your main office.
You just throw the mails back to me and my team and then freak out; dropping us ridiculous emails that resemble a spoilt child asking for attention, a spoilt twelve year old. And thats how you sound like when you shriek, you sound mentally twelve. With the amount of work I'm doing for you, the concepts i've given you, the clearer understanding of your structures than you and your "Nooooooo its not like that!!!!! Noooo~~~~~" crap before you even stop to visualize; if I have to be the one reading your emails from your head office, your company might as well employ me. They might find that I fare better. At least I can visualize.
Stop making us do a double job. You are running your own launch in circles. You have bad coordination skills, you have horrid stress management. You have no common sense.
Go gain a sense of perspective before you call me again. It exhausts me to talk to someone like you, everytime I end a conversation with you, I feel like half my day is gone, and a portion of my life is wasted.
Please, grow up, gain some insights, sense of the BASIC design aesthetics and calm down; you're screwing up your own launch and wasting A LOT of my time. Stop making me hold on the phone for 10 minutes or 20 minutes just for you to find a photo. Read through the fucking email and go through the photos i've sent you, find those we do not have, send them over THEN call me. I can do a lot of other things in 10 minutes.
I don't have all day and you're honestly not special to me.
You seriously annoy me.
With the honesty of my heart,
Rin
