next career move; seer for hire?

Work is getting incredulous.

Incredulous, not because it is getting better. Incredulous, because I think I can begin to think of a different career path. Ever considered being a seer? I don’t think I ever did.

Conversation at work went like that:

Mr K: These are new products that the company is launching. –Hands me a list of products and their product codes- You need to find out the correct cartons (with the correct dimensions and size), labels, and whatnot to pack them into.
Me: So any idea what the products look like individually?
Mr K: No.
Me: Any samples for me to gauge with?
Mr K: No.
Me: Any dimensions for the products for me to work with?
Mr K: No.
Me: Then, how would I know which carton or labels to use for each of these products??? You don’t seem to know anything or have anything that I can use.
Mr K: Well, you just got to know, I guess. And no room for mistakes, since we have to launch these products soon. Deadline is first week of August. You have to do up these XXX and XXX forms for them before the launch too.
Me: And if I don’t know? Wow… Seriously, how are we to come up with something when we don’t even have anything to begin with. I haven’t even seen the products in real life at all. And I don’t think this is workable at all. But well, I guess I can try my best… -rolls eyes and walks away-

How nice? I guess I really have to consult my crystal ball right now. And that deadline is so close by. Why so last minute??? Now, I don’t just have to rush my reports for these XXX forms, which most of I have never done or seen before. I have to figure everything out myself, since I think the forms are quite idiot proof. The main problem lies with choosing the correct cartons and making an intelligent and correct guess.

I guess this company is either training lots of seer wannabes, or that the company just wants to knowingly sabotage themselves and close down their business in the very near future.

We shall see which conclusion stands.

I guess I can also read palms pretty well now too. Any takers?

And oh, I have yet to get myself a crystal ball too. Any sponsors for my new career??? I give you free reading for the first 10 vsits lah. Please lah, please lah…

Oh yes, and I realize that Mr K’s favourite quote at work is: “I don’t know”. And indeed, he stays true to himself, till this day. Even my friend, a UQ student intern at the company at the moment, notices that too. I wonder why my life at work is so “enjoyable” since Mr K is supposed to be my trainer too. It is no wonder I am so “good” at my work. Just great! FML…
