What I need is an ice cold corona and a hammock by the indian ocean
So long work days and no time to chill leaves u kinda needing that chill factor. I plan to do it sometime soon :)
So I think I left off on monday... since then it's been a crazy two days! lol Anyways... tuesday was a continuation of the long monday that I had... well, not that long, but had to get a bit of work done. We started off with the brochure yet again since I came back with a lot of corrections to be made and stuff. That took a good chunk of the morning. Add to it a few meetings about other stuff and it's lunch time already! I finally got some decent piece of the brochure done and was ready to send it back for more corrections. This was ofcourse towards the end of the day. By then I had also managed to setup yet another client meeting. We getting started! woohoo! yet again I should add. And the evening, we met with th tech dude to give us a working demo of the stuff we have so that we dont bulb if something goes wrong. This took some time cos the tech admin is just too busy. Man he just gets super bombed every day with work and he does it every single day. I guess he's pretty important :P So that went on till abt 8:30 and I got home by 9. 12 hour day yet again! But I was looking forward to today.. cos it's a holiday! Well, or so I thought till I checked email which gave us more work to do. So had to come in today.
I walked into work today thinking I'd max spend about 2 hours on this and just send it across. So got up, did my routine and check my phone for an SMS from my boss. We had a conference call at 10:30. I figured it'd be a max 30 minutes right? I get to the conf room and log into the conversation. It ended 2 hours later. But this was an awesome call cos it gave us so much info that we're now armed with stuff to get work done. Also, I have to add a note here. A lot of people when they join as freshers in sales n marketing dont really get into factor into the business models and business development processes until some time. They probably have everything given to them to just work on and get their targets achieved. I'm really lucky cos I'm taking a very active role in the actual development and my inputs seem to be valued. I guess I'm a natural :D... hehe well, but it's really nice to be able to talk to all the bosses and put my points across to them and get specific answers and get their acknowledgment for asking good and intelligent questions. Also, the entire team respects each others points of view and addresses them instead of side stepping them. that's another thing that I really like. I can walk into my director's cabin and sit an talk to him about any concern and we'll get it done right there. IT's good so far and I'm sure it only gets better!
Anyhow, I should add that we finally got the brochure done today. Also, I got my laptop armed with photosop and yada yada so that I can work on the minor tweaks myself instead of giving to one more guy and sitting with him and walking him through everything. Ofcourse I did pick up a few skills from him and am still an amatuer, so i'll still look to him for some of the high fundoo stuff. We ofcourse ran through a few versions today and tweaks and minor changes. Also, we talked about more stuff about the company and stuff that we are doing. Cool. I'm being briefed about meetings that I did not attend so that we're all on the same page.
Well, by the time I left, it was 6:30 pm. What was supposed to be a 2 hour day, turned into the regular 9. so much for a holiday eh? Atleast I was in a pair of jeans and a casual shirt :P Tomorrow I'm off and I intend to laze as much of it as possible. Yea I know... but I deserve it ok! I will do my walk etc etc in the morn and just take it easy the rest of the day.
Aaaaaand it's that time of the night where I'm typing faster so that I can get to bed or sit in front of the tv and turn into my natural couch potato. Well, I Guess I'll read now... tv just sounds bad! I need to go book shopping too... so keep the book suggestions coming in y'all :P Good night and cya in a healthier, better tomorrow!
