blame it on the weather
almost four days ago, i handled an event that i am still equally proud of up till this day. everything was great. people came in. except that only a handful of people THAT SHOULD really BE THERE attended.
i cannot blame myself anymore cos God freaking knows that i busted ass working on the event. I was near nose bleed, i was near death just to make sure that my department will not suck ass when it happens…only for some callous people who cannot do their job well to ruin it.
how can i say this without hurting other people’s pride? i know they have their reasons…but man, JUST ONE SILLY RESPONSIBILITY! ensure that your guests will show up! and they can’t even do it. maybe you can blame it on the weather cos it was raining like shit for 2 hours! 2 hours…! it’s meaningless to bitch right now but it’s really frustrating on my part.
i don’t want RN (my boss) to feel sad about what happened cos as far as I am concerned…the event was a success. we gave it all we could, even C (the visiting boss) said so. now, if people failed to live according to their responsibilities then it’s no longer my fault.
Ive read on an event’s management guide book that the success of an event also depends on the participation of other people. if this is how we measure all company-related events, that for sure ours would fail…cos people are so damn callous and jaded sometimes. they don’t dare participate, they don’t cooperate but they are quite good with counting what went wrong…
…frustrating!
