Today I had to stay in office to do "manual labour". Tomorrow is our company-wide training, which slides I have been working on for the weekend, so today my colleague and I stayed back to expand and combine the few meeting rooms into one big town hall, as well as carry and arrange the chairs out and put them in neat rows.
The thing is, we are not supposed to be doing this as it is not within our job scopes. Normally there will be an external vendor coming in for this, but our General Counsel is not in favour of spending money, hence asked us to do it ourselves.
So we spent about a couple of hours rolling the shutters and dividers, pulling the chairs, arranging them properly, ensuring the powerpoint program is working, and stacking the furniture together. Some of our colleagues took pity on us and helped us shift. How nice of them!
When we returned to our places, another nice surprise came. One of our colleagues wrote to our General Counsel, explaining to him that he saw us shifting the furniture in the rooms and said it was tedious work, so requested for the vendors to come in for just a couple of hours at the end of the training tomorrow to shift everything back, so we would not need to be the ones shifting back! Wow.. he is so nice!
The great news? Our General Counsel agreed! Thank goodness for good and kind colleagues around that makes my working life easier and much more bearable!
