Today is definitely not my day.
Despite having worked through the weekend and burnt midnight oil for two nights in order to get the chronology of the case prepared, all I have got was some harsh treatment from my client.
He literally expected me to ploughed through 3 boxes of documents and submit the claim within one week. After I explained to him in length how I have structured the claim and how I intend to analyse the delay events, blah, blah, blah...... He still insisted to have the submission delivered to him in two days time.
Anyone with a sensible mind would know that it is impossible to prepare such a submission which may be 100 pages long, within less than a week. Writing the submisison is one thing, the crucial part is actually getting the facts right. And I can't possibly get the facts right just by reading the documents, as you know people do write crap. I need to put on Sherlock Holmes' hat and carry out investigation/interrogation of his staff in order to have a clearer picture. Once I have got the facts, I will have to study the programme closely and do a delay analysis. All these are no easy task!!!
After all the firecrackers in the meeting room, I left, non-commitally. I refused to act in line with his agenda.
Sod it.
The last thing I want is for that negativity to paralyse my ability to perform.
So, take a deeeeep breath and stay calm.
Hmm... a nescafe would be nice.
