Juz a random post...

I'm working with a neither big nor small organisation somewhere in the city area. My organisation consists of 1 big shot - CEO, Dy CEO, a few Directors and many more others -> Deputy Directors, Assistant Directors, Managers and officers blah blah... Supporting our big shot and the Directors are their respective PA(personal assistant), we have got 5 of them.... Due to the nature of my work, I have to deal with the PAs quite often, I have to check their Bosses'(the Directors) schedule so that I can plan for some time-consuming, long-winded meetings. I always treat the PAs with my utmost respect and I'm always very polite/courteous to them coz I know it's unwise to step on their toes or piss them off in any ways... Out of the 5 PAs, there's this person that I have the most problems working with.. Lets call her Ms X.

Ms X is currently supporting 2 Directors and these 2 happens to be my division's Directors so I have to liaise with her even more often. I dunno why but there will always be some miscommunication between us whenever I have to check the bosses' schedule. There will always be incidents whereby I have trouble getting the required from her(she's always late in reply my mails and when I call her to check, she always reply that she needs to get back to me later and not at that moment). Take this morning for example, she called and asked if the meeting for this week is still fixed at 4pm when I have told her that it's changed to an earlier time slot. She replied saying that there wasn't any confirmation email from me or my boss, I guess my boss didn't CC a copy bah... Then she continued saying that we should inform her earlier so that she can plan the boss's schedule and blah blah... Haiz, another communication breakdown again? This is getting freaky, why does it always happens to her? Maybe something is wrong with my phone or my lotus notes(email)? See case proven!

To sidetrack abit, the other 4 PAs are really very nice and friendly ladies and I enjoyed working with them.... From my personal view, Ms X doesn't belong to that category at all.... She is friendly but too friendly that it comes to you as being fake. The feeling is juz weird..... Too weird for me...
