I received an unexpected call from one of my bosses yesterday. It’s after work and I’d already headed home. As soon as I hung up the phone, I had an impulse to throw my cell away.  But it’s imprudent and not economical, I gave it up.

Over the phone, my boss told me that he got a meeting at 10 am tomorrow morning and he needed his PPT ready before that. Thanks for the trust, but no thanks for the last minute call. I know I am good at writing, but I am not that good, right?  The format and context were already fixed at the last meeting, but still it’s not like that I could conjure up all the data I needed by simply snapping my fingers.  And the fact that it’s already off work didn’t help.

I texted all the persons involved and asked for the information I needed.  From now on, I would never complain about too many communication groups in my wetchat. Not surprisingly, some of them won’t arrive till tomorrow. Considering the fact that our company don’t have clock in and off system, I was left nothing to do but pray.

So, this morning was totally a chaos. I got up early, cut down my time with oral English practice, and left home a complete mess.  Tension, that’s the only word I felt when I was preparing the PPT. Sadly, Tension didn’t quicken my speed, in fact it did the opposite. I made some mistakes and had to do it all over again.  Any way I managed it at the last minute.

Believe it or not, my stomach actually twisted when I finished it. I craved my daily Coffee fix.  So I decided to treat myself a cup of Starbucks. Grande, this time.
