A typical day

600 Wakes up, wash up, sometimes breakfast on the move

645 Gets out of house b4 the rest are out of bed :P

730 Reaches office, prints schedule, prepares keys, haggles with ops team, haggles for schedules and staff, Ops Manager gives out keys, schedule written on board, stores and laundry and keys given out, haggles with logistics, locks office

830-845 Moves out of office

900-915 Operations work commences (Starts a house at Hougang)

1020 Helps out at Sengkang (Ironing)
(msgs, calls incessantly for change of slots, clients late, clients not in, clients not awake, feedback -- "u must take a look at this!", calls from office)

1245 Helps out yet another (More ironing)
(More msgs, calls incessantly for change of slots, clients late, clients not in, clients not awake, feedback -- "u must take a look at this!", and calls from office)
Hurried lunch on feet
(Calls for help from staff)

1500 Finishes up 2nd house -- gets dropped off to travel to Simei on my own
(In the meantime, more calls, and calls from me to change slots)

1600 Reaches Simei (commences cleaning of windows) -- Client asks if I have shares in the company. Haha ahaaha. Cleaned living room's. MB's small window, Kid's room.

1720 (LATE!!!) Rushes down to Havelock for court hearing.
Harried two pcs of bread on the move, jus b4 getting on MRT.

1800 Reaches City Hall MRT (thank goodness A picked me up, or else die! A passes me court documents)

1815 (LATE!!!) Attends hearing -- pompous self-important characters, seemingly. Never fails to put a "smile" on my face... I think I'd be bored if I've to be stuck in the courts? The same ppl asking to put yr bag into the scanner, the same ppl calling your name, the same ppl collecting your documents... It's a weird kind of funny, really.

1840 Done with the courts [a slight feel of being free b4 being brought back to earth -- promised a client to bring keys to his place for his Korean fren staying at Swissotel (not too bad, not so far away)]

(HAIZ, supposed to go look for an upholstery b4 CNY cos the staff left a mark on it. I'm so gonna be killed? IN time to get it for NEW YEAR???)

1900 Reaches hotel, got to the wrong lobby. Couldn't see them. "WHERE ARE YOU?" Staff calls. Haggles somemore.
(Client calls from overseas to make sure I've met them. His fren calls trying to see where I was. I can't put down the phone. 10 missed calls)

1930 Gets to the right lobby. Calls them. They are at the clock at the lobby. Finally. Met them. Client calls. Client worried about them. Fren and kids not supposed to check out till later, but they had just checked out TODAY. Client asked for help to bring them back to Sengkang where he stays. "Don't worry, charge me for your time," They don't speak no English. One of them speaks good Mandarin. He's studying in China. I had to check if they've got money on them. I didn't.

1955 Waits for maxi-cab. Thank goodness we didn't have to wait 10-40 min like the previous passenger. It's a $35 (omigosh) per trip.

2025 Reaches Sengkang. Brought them upstairs. Explained all 7 keys. Boils water. Shows them rooms, aircon, TV remote (doesn't seem connected), and how to wash clothes (but no Dynamo, tho there's a detergent for the dish washer)

2100 Leaves... calls them from downstairs. Informed them about 7-11 opposite their place. Tempted by food. Bought a jellied drink, and two packets of nuts (Is this dinner??? Don't recall... )
SUPER Harried meal on cab on way to Pasir Ris. Appt at 2130.

(Don't need to go back Joo Chiat to settle the upholstery liao. Someone just kill me.)

2130 Reaches Blk 214. Oops. Shld be blk 241. Checks map. Walks. Walks. Walks. Messages client that I'd be there shortly.

2150 Reaches Blk 241. Checks msg. Client had brought her son to the doctor. Got upstairs. "Are you in the area?" "Plastic in finger, might get infected. Doctor referred to A&E, can you wait, might take another hour." Looks at watch. It's 2200.

2200 Got downstairs. Calls client. Makes another appt on Sat. 2nd one. 1st is Eden Tampines @ 1530 Sat, 2nd is 241 Pasir Ris @1730. Hails cab. Too tired... Broke!
