*Sigh* My body is aching all over at the moment. I’ve been running here and there since morning doing my boss latest project. Even hubby have to buzz me a few times before I can answer him back in YM. Today really a busy day for me and hope tomorrow will be better as the boss is not around (yipee I can blog more..hahahaha).
My work as a PA to a very demanding boss is very stressful. My boss aka The Lion (that’s what me and my friend call him in the office) not only demanding but impatient too. He can give a few tasks in one time but expect you to finish all in a second but I’m so use to it now that every time he ask for it, I just reply “in sec boss” until he stops asking. Working with The Lion is a good exercise for me too. Why? He can really makes you walk a lot (hahahaha a really good exercise for me during my previous pregnancy). He will call me in and just after I walk out, he calls again. Some times, I haven’t even reach my place, he already calls me. So, tell me, good or not to have him as your boss?Well, my accountant definitely will say NO..she had enough she said coz she relief me when I was on maternity leaves. Weird eh my boss. He doesn’t trust anyone to replace me so my friend aka the accountant have to do my job (everyday call me complaining about The Lion…pity her).
My work as a PA doesn’t stop in the office. Whenever The Lion remember something or wanna check something or just anything that needs an answer right away, he call me. You miss call him, he call again and again till you pick the phone or even worst, he calls hubby hand phone. How to avoid?Man, some times I feel like changing work but to start all over again?I lazy to go through the process of finding, interview and starting a new life in a new company. I just feel too lazy to go through it all over again.
But having said that The Lion is demanding, impatient etc etc, he’s very flexible though, in work wise or personal. When I can’t cope with the load of works on certain time, he gives me space and more time to do. And during my recent pregnancy with the twins, I have to take leave earlier than schedule, The Lion didn’t argue. He even permitted me to go on leave as early as I want and as long as I wanted but of course, I have to switch on my hand phone in case he needs me.
And guess what?As I was doing this post, my hand phone rang. My boss! What does he wants now at this hour? Don’t tell me some one mess up something in the office?”Yes boss?” and I hear his garau voice. “First thing tomorrow morning or better still if you can do it now, get me the commodity brokers. I need it quite urgent. Let me know once you have it.” He hang up before I can say anything. He wants what?Where the heck can I get it? Oh man..not only did I bring work home today, now I have to find this?Now I feel stress again….



hehehe,,,and i thought thats what PA does…a walking ‘PDA’ for the boss. Cos apa2 pun yg the boss want to do, the PA will keep it for him/her. I think some to the extend of remembering the boss’ family member’s birthdays.
I think when you go for an overseas hols and switch off your hp, I think your boss will go mad and beserk without you!! And I think if you ever want to leave the company, he’ll probably beg you and multiply your salary to make sure you’ll stay put! haha…
I used to be a PA to the CEO in my old company, and he’s exactly like your boss now! Giving 1000 tasks to do in one time, and expects you to be superwoman and finish it all on the same day! And if not call, message me to tell me the tasks for the next day at 2 or 3am!! Gila eh!
