Wot?
In nomine patri, et filii, et spiritui sancto, amen
today was a stressful day at work. after many rounds of interviews, this candidate that we offered a contract to said she just found out that she's pregnant.... was happy for her but am afraid that the business development job that's offered may be detrimental to her health and unborn child. she's seeing doc on friday 24 june to confirm her pregnancy and if so, must tell her sorry - must pass on her. so now back to square one in hiring and CEO is on me back again....sheesh
had a good meeting with the team this evening where i spelt out our goals as well as plan - that we have 5 weeks to hit our target and to commence selling advertising. giddied and galvanised the team and asked FY and SC to stay 1 month and help the SG team pull this through. they going back to HK to consider and decision next week.
this was followed by dinner with EN, my MD that's visiting from HK. brought her to ah teng's bakery to sample local delights where we talked about expectations as well as coping with the CEO's demands and idiosyncracies.
by the time we were done, it was 10.45 and i dropped EN off and rushed to pick kids from in-laws. by then, elise and eliza looked "stoned" and it was quiet in the car, unlike the usual banter we normally have - plus mommy was very tired too. elise dozed off and i had to drive with my right hand on the steering wheel while my left hand was propping her head up - as it was swaying round. thank God no "uncle sam" around or sure kena ticket!
by the time reach home, it was 11.30 and mommy carried eliza while i carried elise, plus laptop and laundry. dropped elise on the bed and she is snoozing soundly now. eliza as usual would sit up and gave me the mischievous smile that makes me wanna give her a real smacker on her lips - which i did! - and she said she is not sleepy. i told her its 11.45 so please put your head down and go to sleep but she said not before her cup of water every night - which is becoming a ritual between she and elise. MUST drink a cup of water before they sleep.
everyone is sleeping soundly now and its been another day which i thank the Good Lord for.
