This title has been long overdue for Hi-Bye Man.
And when recently, he (did the following):
1. procrastinated for two weeks before handing me his work for compilation.
2. allowed me to bear the brunt of failing to submit our combined marketing report when the manager asked.
3. procrastinated [see point 1] because he had nothing to show me.
4. had nothing to show me [see point 3] because he only managed to collect two namecards during his sales & marketing at CommunicAsia.
5. only had two namecards [see point 4] because during his free time he preferred to happily settle his arse at my booth and chatted with my client while I was busy running six Expo halls to do my marketing.
I am damn sure it's high time to confer him the title. Umm what's the other word to describe him? oh 'BEST'. That's what he is.
While I had to cover six f***ing halls, all he had to do is to do his part in three halls. Three freaking small halls. Have you been to Expo? Try walking from Hall 6 to Hall 2. Walk back to starting point and make that a lap. Multiply by six for each day. Then make that seven days. Finally speed up your walk like you've been chased by a big black bear.
That's how f***ing tiring it was! But I did it. Six halls. Seven days. Skipped lunch. Just to sell my company's services. And by the way, I'm not on commission. But I did it because it's my job and I have passion for it. I have no qualms if that loser fails for his incompetency. But I ain't going to let him drag me down for his incompetency and stupidity.
A week ago, we made our way to Suntec Convention Centre, as much as I would like to object on sharing an enclosed space with him. As the taxi parked, he kept his hands still on his lap. Is it me or homo sapiens have lost their sense of basic social etiquette? I held my breath just as the taxi driver held his. After a seemingly eternity, I reached for my wallet.
"Oh you're paying for this?"
What.A.Moronic.Question.
I couldn't look at him, not even throw a furious glance at him. I might just writhe his neck if I did.
