Bloody phew

Okay it's like this, GM alerts me that the ATA is happening. Ask me to ask Head of Group Marketing Head if we want to submit. So I asked. Permission given to submit our works. Time sees Sharon running ahead of it, like a crazy baboon trying to get information from all sides so that she can complete her forms. She calls everyone and chases them on this and that - everybody was busy but Sharon was really running against TIme so she had no choice but to snap at some butts. She was not happy about that but she had no choice coz said butts were moving too slow. She gets budget done and approved by three department heads. All looks good. But a lot of information is not in yet. So she chase butts again. Running around like super baboon. She even went back to the office on a Saturday so that she can supervise the subtitling for the chinese entries. So far so good. Information not in yet. She chases more butts. In the end, above mentioned butts useless, so Sharon takes over the lead and gets her own information. She also makes some up coz some information couldn't be obtain as butts who were suppose to provide it were too busy for her to chase.

Today she compiles ALL information, prints it out nice and black. She goes to get signature from GM. GM looks through all, and then said not her jurisdiction. Ask Sharon to go get signature from CEO. Fine. Sharon waits for CEO to be available, until after lunch. Her deadline was 4pm today. CEO finally available at 3.30pm. She goes in and brief him on what's going on. Then he asked about which entries DV's submitting. Sharon tells him. He is shocked and says entries not worth submitting if they have no chance to win. He demands to know who authorise this and refuses to sign. Sharon tells him. He was angry and said that he will take it up with management. He tells Sharon not to send anything. Sharon goes away "shocked".

Later at 5pm, Head of Finance calls Sharon to her room. Questions her about this. Sharon tells her she was the one who approved the budget. She then asked who authorised this. Sharon gives name. Head calls in CEO and explains again which was what sharon explained earlier on. He then decides that we should send in three of our best entries.Sharon obviously lacking in clout. Wonders if she can fashion one from a cengal tree. Anyway all are convinced that those entries have good chance of winning award. CEO directs Sharon to send in three. But it is too late to send today and UPS guy already gone home for dinner. Latest Sharon can send it tomorrow morning, day of latest deadline. Sharon calls Asian Television Awards people, people says ok. Sharon says "Phew" and prepare everything to be send off tomorrow morning.
