Time really flies at work. With so many things to handle, every work day just passes by with ease. I got to know my boss better with every week and this week, I came to realize what high expectations she has of her staff. We had an event yesterday and due to a miscommunication and partly my fault as well, the guest list wasn't as long as she expected and she was angry with me for not informing her earlier so that we could ask the sales dept to contact their friends and clients to come for the event. I thought she would do it as I heard her mentioning she has asked the sales dept to stand by when we met up with the event host last week. So when she realised the problem on thursday morning, she told me that I am not needed to help out at an event that afternoon. Instead, use the rest of the day to gather more people for the event. Towards the end of the day, I updated her with the numbers. That night, she called me to ask about the final rsvp and explained why she was angry and I understood and apologised to her. At least she bothered to tell me why she was disappointed and told me to learn from this incident. I learned from my mistake but also came to a view that no matter how much you do or how hard you try at work, it will never be enough for your boss.
Yesterday at work, she seemed to be in a bad mood and actually flared up at me and my colleague when we were late in meeting her at the carpark to go for the event. I felt that she didn't have to react like that although I was sorry that we should have left the office promptly. The event went well and I thought it was not bad although the sales target was not met but the event client told me that the objective of creating awareness for the store was at least achieved. Bought a nice pair of earrings but I still have not gotten a new bag. My bag is spolit. :(
Hope the new week will be better. Another event next week and I hope it will be successful.
