jus when i tot my project was completed, it is extended cos we had to raise more funds to reach the target of $50,000. how is it possible to raise so much money through everyday sales to public? in my opinion, the initial target was way too unrealistic to fulfill, and it was jus too ambitious on our part to set such a goal so difficult to achieve. i think the bosses would have realised how naive they were. initially they wanted to sell 100,000 cards to raise $200,000. simply out of their mind. so we halved it. but we still didn manage to raise this much, so the higher level bosses required us to raise at least $50,000. it was partly my fault too; if i had realised the difficulty in selling to the public and the trouble to sustain the sales, i would have suggested lowering the target further. but wad's done cannot be undone and we cant simply offer our beneficiaries the pittance we have raised. it doesn reflect well on our sch and ourselves too. SO WE JUS GOTTA GET ON WITH IT. bah.
which brings me to another matter. they are coming up with MORE EVENTS in such a short time span (say a week after the finale event). stupidity again i would say. but of cos the intentions are well understood, cos we need the $. but organising a completely new event includes recruiting ppl as volunteers, getting the participants, getting the profs etc is a helluva work. there they expect us to be present for all their meetings to know wads happening and render our help. my ppl are busy with their other SCHOOL commitments which have been prearranged before the project was extended. if they cannot come for these meetings, how am i to force them to? and stop pushing the blame to us, because you dun even wan to keep us in the loop of things. you dun have to update us on every single thing you do, but at least give us the gist. im sure it doesn take more than 5 min to send us an email to tell us, 'ok this is the event we are organising and we need blah blah blah...' even if we are unable to go down PHYSICALLY to help, we can do work at home, in those 1-2hours when we are free. we get no information at all, no clue wads going on and the meeting times, and we are EXPECTED to take the INITIATIVE to help. HAH. wad the hell.
my bosses are really committed to the project, they slogged hard and this i have to say, really helped in our project's success. but i think they really need some help themselves with regards to ppl. all they complain is abt us. where were the other department ppl when we were slogging away? i think my bosses should go for MPW class. it means Managing Ppl at Work. haha. but if they already have taken this course, im not sure how much they have learnt.
im sure you prolly dun understand wad im talking abt. haha. seldom heard me bitching this much? its ok. im jus venting my frustration.
ok enough abt that. i cant be bothered so much abt it. i jus want it over and done with ASAP.
yesterday i watched rush hour 3. didn wanna watch it cos im not so much of a jackie chan fan. but i still did. and luckily i did. cos its a really hilarious movie. chris tucker is good! hes fab! haha. with all the corny jokes and action. jackie chan's 53 alr, but he still managed to pull off the stunts. and the ng takes, you really should watch it. it was non stop laughing! the only thing that bothered me, only very slightly, was jackie chan's english. oh well, hes an international star, i guess it doesn matter. and the muvee's a bit short. 1.5 hrs only. hmm wished it was longer, so i can laugh more!!
