Round 1 - Done

It has been a tiring day. Correction. It has been a tiring week.

I am so glad that today's event is finally over. Bosses had kind of left everything to me to ensure that things will be taken care of. Nonetheless, it could be quite a thankless job, compared to those that bosses were involved in this week.

Today's event went pretty well with no technical glitch and the big guy got his opportunity to mingle with almost everyone yet still in time for his meeting with his boss. It was also nice working with the team, especially when everyone had the same objective in mind and adopted a "let's help each other out" mentality.

Anyway, I still invited feedback from two big bosses. One felt that there was room for improvement for the logistics arrangements while the other wanted us to issue a CD capturing today's event to all attendees as a souvenir. The latter arose from a feedback from an attendee and I wasn't given an opportunity to explain to the group that the cameraman was not employed by us but was from the media. And so not to embarrass the big guy in front of everyone, I nodded my head and mentioned that I would follow-up on the feedback. Anyway, we couldn't follow-up on the feedback as the media couldn't sell a copy of its recording to us. Nonetheless, this will be an area of improvement for the next team to look into.

And the interesting part.

Bosses were so busy with their work that they were unable to attend today's event and I had several people asking for their whereabouts. Among them include bosses' bosses. I have to admit that I am pretty good in shielding my bosses. Told bosses' bosses that they were busy looking to the arrangements for the meetings that bosses' bosses would be involved later in the day. Thereafter, quickly sms-ed bosses to update them that their bosses asked for their whereabouts. In case you are wondering. Yes, no word of thanks. But luckily, no scoldings from them. Yet.

In any case, it is over. Round 2 will continue tomorrow. I hope bosses will turn up as their bosses will be there again. I am running out of excuses for their absence.
