Boss was crazy stress over this 3200 woven bags, and he was putting so much stress on everyone. I couldn't concentrate on designing, I was kept busy going back and forth calling and liasing with the China manufacturer.
Deadline is today, the China side told us the production was not suspended because they have yet to receive the funds.
This kinda of situation happen too often in my office. I learn that in this situation, the first thing Is to resolve it immediately, call the direct person and not pin point anyone.
Yesterday was pretty incredible day to think about it! A transaction that took 3days and yet not processed was processed within a day with another bank we found. That took us about an hour? By right, the goods is to be delivered to our office via DHL, but because the production period was delayed, my General decide to appoint one of us and collect the good personally from Hangzhou!
This is not a fun flight. This flight is a back to back 24hrs flight. My colleague caught a 4.15am flight to Guangzhou this morning, transfer to Hangzhou to collect the goods. Within the hour of collection he'll be catching the next plan that depart to Hongkong at 2pm, transfer to another flight which will take him back in Sg at around 10pm tonight. Finally, my General will pick them up from the airport and deliver the goods to our client 12pm tonight.
Awesome right? By the way, my colleague is a designer like me. He is actually doing a courier job beside his given job entitlement.
I could be the one going if I hadn't had so much orders to rush by this.
I really Thank God for this job. Despite it's downs, this job have provided me a real eye opener.
