A Chaotic Meeting Day 使人鸡飞狗跳的会议天

4th week of the month is the week I hate most, particularly on Wednesday. Just because of 1 meeting, at least 5 departments will go into distressed state, where they are commanded to prepare all sort presentation materials last minute, given either a week for preparation, or sometimes only overnight. If you are unlucky, even 3 hours before the meeting, you are required to do amendment and make sure the final copy is ready before the meeting.
You may think this must be a very important meeting. Well, it is. The meeting schedule is always pre-set & we have our agenda ready every month. Unfortunately, the meeting is co-chaired by the "queen" that likes to dictate everything in the meeting, particularly what to present and what to highlight. She is a typical last minute person and doesn't care whether you can achieve or not. She will instruct and demand things to be out ontime. Worst of all, she is super micro & must check everything from A-Z, a powerpoint presentation up to a not so important leaflet artwork.
This time round, I have the worst experience where my department has to cover someone's ass when they failed to deliver. Time given for action: 30 minutes! I couldn't elaborate more! I'm furious and frustrated.
Wonder if God hear my prayer?
