Big Boss came

This is not a surprise visit as much preparation has to be done prior his arrival. I am unsure if I have been insensitive to arrange a short meeting with some staff an hour before he came. I thought that by doing so, we could keep our meeting short and sweet. And this seemed the only time slot officers could make it before we have our monthly meeting.

I was utterly disappointed that 3 out of 4 did not turn up. In the end, it was a discussion between myself and another officer.

Being a "low-ranked" staff, every proposal or idea I suggested, I have to go through layers and layers of vetting and clearance. By the time I received a nod, I almost forgot what did I propose or suggest earlier.

Anyway, the big boss came but was late. Since his meeting started late, why am I such naive to think it would end punctually, so that I can return home on time for a home sweet home dinner?

Yes, a few items were presented but big boss gave even more comments. In the end, the meeting ended almost 7pm. By then, I was such tired and hungry. I wished I have wings to fly home asap.

Work wise, I must admit the tasks assigned were challenging but little help was given. I have to struggle to stay afloat but the senior officers were quite unhappy with my work done.

I am hungry for training as I want to learn as much as possible, to equip myself for future challenges. But opportunities are quite limited and restricted.

Sigh... how to continue with this type of working life ?
