So, I was in Relay for Life '09 event last night because I was one of the crews there. Which was supposedly the graphic designer but ended up being some worker around there.
Okay, I wasn't very fond with the management, which is the event company I'm working with. All I can say is, there's only one full-time staff. Other details, you can actually figure out and also why there's only one full-time staff. There are 5 interns including me. 3 not getting paid. 2 getting paid because they are foreign students. :) So...abusing interns. I don't know how much they get paid but this is what pisses me off, they get to come in whenever they wants, go out whenever they like, not appearing in the office whenever they wish to! Not only that, they are like super damn free. They come in, play facebook, play MSN, Y!Msger and then go back. Not that I don't do that, but not the whole day man.
So, then I had sleepless night this week because of the stupid fucking idiot client from NCSM that wants to change this and change that and yada yada yada. Ok fine. That's GDer, I know.
THEN... it comes to this, Relay for Life event, be there at 8am till 10am. Not 2 hours ya... 26 FUCKING HOURS! So I had a big huge fight with my mum 'bout this and she said she want to sue the company and bla bla bla... That leads to a personal problem it seems. I need to talk to my supervisor.
Then, I thought of maybe like going at 1pm on Saturday because I really need my rest. It's been like sleepless night doing what that client wants. But guess what happened on SATURDAY MORNING at 7AM, had a call to go there now? Nah... I wasn't being called to be there on time but INSTEAD, I was called to DESIGN another signage. OH MY FUCKING GOD! Yesterday was so hectic! *I'll leave what happen on Friday to myself because it's just too much to talk about it...* The printer was like already shouting that we must not do something like this. This is too last minute. The event is in like 6 hours and you need to PRINT another signage?! There you go, I get lectures for something I didn't do, not once, not twice but more than that. So much for the "1pm-on-Saturday" thingy. My time to rest... :(
I called Sin Nee to go with me cause I know I'll be like damn bored, because you know why? I shouldn't be there in the first place, maybe yes, to confirm all the designs, the banners, the buntings are in the correct place. There. Job finished. Can I go now? NO! Stay there and DAYDREAM! Sin Nee was there until around 5pm then I fetched her back because I feel sorry for her because she was like so lost, supposedly to come with Yit Mey so at least one doesn't feel left off if I'm like busy, and she had to pay RM10 just for the event. No bloody idiots told me about that. Not even the company. So much for an event company that is managing this event right? And from then onwards, I realized the true meaning of good friends. *refer to my previous post*
*skips a lot of unnecessary details about me being bored the whole day*
At around 4am, all of us was worned out. Then the damn bloody 'kedekut' boss asked us to go back for a shower and come back in 2 hours time. HELLO? You think I stay at where? 2 minutes drive from here? 20 fucking minutes okay, and only if I speed! Then he went already, left me and the full-time staff, Sheena. So we bitched... And I suddenly recall, where's one of the intern,Shima, that gets paid? I asked Sheena, she told me she didn't come for the event.
WHAT THE FUCK?!
An intern that gets paid, doesn't need to do anything in the office and coming in and out whenever she likes -VERSUS- An intern that doesn't get paid instead pay to get work, do everything about on the designs of the whole event and coming in and out right on time.
I get PWNED nicely!
Come on, this is so not fair right? What the hell is this? I straight away went home after finding out the TRUTH!
These are the photos I took yesterday on my designs.
The stage with the big backdrop. There's a second backdrop and surprisingly it was not USED! How convenient as that backdrop is one of the last few items to be CONFIRMED.
The 'Welcome Banner' in front of the stadium.
The Saturday-7A.M. design. I recieved a SMS from the middle-man which is the forwarded message from the client.
"Can Whiz do this quickly? > LUPA BUAT GARDEN SIGN! can help? not so serious.. colourful.."
If I were the person who recieve this, I will definately decline. Because the printer already said no last minute work and he cannot make it on time if we were to print anything extra. You 'LUPA BUAT GARDEN SIGN!', so what? TGK MUKA I, ADA I KESAH?
The Notice Board. I was not happy with the final output. This is what happen when you want to SAVE COST.
You can see there are so many bulges. Overlapping stickers. My god, I feel so unappreciated for my own design. "YOU" want to save cost also don't need to save until this extend. Can also print it on material like the Photowall which is flawless.
From the left : Suresh, Elisa and Benny.
This is the Photowall, one of the worst things to do among all designs. You need to make sure that you measure all the logos in the same size and supposedly, all logo must have the exact same number, but the middle-man between me and the fucking client said just leave it. If need to have the exact numbers, then we need Mathematician. My Mathematics sucks OK!
Look at the Photowall, half of it is abit grey-ish right? And guess what, I was the one to be blame because my AI file may have abit grey on it. Fucker, the file is in one AI file, one Artboard, and WHITE BACKGROUND! How the fuck would it be my problem? Use common sense la, Boss, it's so obvious the base of the Photowall is grey or even black.
I was so bored, and I actually call another person to come and teman me, but that person didn't come, so that also leads to what I finally realized is just a friend instead of a good friend. *refer to my previous post*
The only thing I was happy about the WHOLE event is meeting my favourite singer JACLYN VICTOR. And out of 26 hours, which is actually 22 hours. I was happy for 10 minutes. Worth it? Nah... I don't think so. I can meet her anytime I want for goodness sake.
This ends my blabbers about the event and the company.
I e-mailed Ms Clare for an appointment tomorrow as I need to talk to her about all these problems as I'm facing financial problems, personal problems such as my mum is not happy with all these and not forgetting about FAIRNESS!
