Quite possibly one of the worst ways to start the week. I'm not in a hurry to outdo this one.
I have a conference call at 8am on Monday morning. US boss in the US, client in Sydney and I'm in Singapore :(
Sianz.
Woke at 6:30am.
YAWN
Left my house at 7:15am.
ECP jammed from Tanah Merah entrance!!! TANAH MERAH ENTRANCE LEH!!!
7:30am - Emailed US boss to say i'll be late for the call.
8am - Havent passed Bedok. Called the dial-in number. I'm the moderator.
8:15am - Passed the seven (SEVEN!!!)-vehicle accident
8:16am - ZOOOOMED off from Bedok. US boss complained too much background noise from my car (stupid mitsubishi engine and yokohama tires). Muted my phone.
8:40am - Reached office car park. Entered lift. Disconnected from call.
8:45am - Called in the dial-in line. Only to realise every (EVERY!!!!!) one else got d/c cos I (the MODERATOR) disconnected!@!@
8:46am till end of call - Felt like an idiot.
Call ended at 10:30am. Late for my 9:30am meeting. Shit. Left my desk to find my Singapore boss to explain why im late.
10:45am - Came back to my desk to see voice mail light lit up.
10:47am - Listened to voicemail left by US boos " Where the hell are you? Went to the washroom after the call? Call me back"
10:49am - Called back. Listened on how i should have my documents in front of me during conference calls. How i shouldnt do conference calls in the car.
10:55am - Explained myself but feeling stupid at the same time.
:(
