Monday ni Artemis
7:45 a.m.
People are running late everywhere. Well, I don’t run when I am late. I just walk. Madapa pa ako sa pagtakbo eh ano napala ko? Magalit na ang magagalit, basta hindi ko peg ang magmadali. Ang tigas talaga ng ulo ko. Grabe.
Time in: 7:58. Sabi sa inyo eh, pasok yun. Nangingiti akong pumunta sa cubicle ko. I don’t exactly like Mondays, but it seems that this one is giving me a hint of nice things to come. I wiped my desk clean, then nag-spray ako ng air freshener…hmmmmm….vanilla…love it!
“Good morning Miss Art, Miss Sarmiento would like to see you. She is at the board room now.” Si Les, ang Secretary ni Madam Chaos.
In punto alas ocho, sa board room? Ano ba yan? Ang aga naman ata nun ha! Ano pa ba magagawa? So, gora din…
Feel na feel ko ang paglakad to the board room because of my new high – heeled shoes. It’s a red stiletto…hehehe, nice one Artemis. In the mood ako in making a little catwalk right now, when…
“Miss Art, Miss Art!”
Ang aga naman ni Mang Steve humangos. (Steve talaga, sosyal, Esteban po ang tunay, pero dahil uso ang modernized names, we made it Steve)
“Ano po yun?”
“May naghahanap po sa inyo, nasa lobby.”
“Naku, Mang Steve, pakisabi na lang pong busy ang linya...ipinapatawag po ako ni Miss Sarmiento right now. Kung makakahintay po ay salamat, if not, pakisabing mag – iwan na lang po ng message kay Ria. Salamat po.”
Tumango – tango si Mang Steve. Bilib ako sa pick – up ng taong ito...mabilis ha.
Knock knock knock....
“Come in...”
Whew! The lady in an eternal blue suit! Ilan kaya ang blue suit ni Madam Chaos? Hahahaha...tawa much kami palagi sa dami ng suits nya, kaya nga lang, blue lahat....sa style lang may differences...
“I would like to discuss some matters regarding the advertisement project we are about to make...”
Ganun kade-dedicated si Madam sa trabaho, walang intro intro. Body agad. At kailangang handa ka na gumawa ng conclusion kasi strictly prohibited ang pagiging slow. Kung sa highway ba eh, pag di ka marunong tumawid posibleng maging nakamamatay.
“Yes ma’am, I have made a few researches about the matter...here, take a look...”
I got an envelope from my files and handed it to my boss. She accepted it.
“I think, these are good...maybe, you should start collaborating with Aicee for the conceptualization of the design based on the theme you have presented. Then, we can present it to the board next week.”
“Okay, ma’am.”
“And...by the way, someone is coming over today. He is from the art department of our sister company. He’d be staying to help with the designs. I will send him to you as soon as he arrives.”
“yes, ma’am.”
Then, I left the board room. Whoa...it’s going to be a hectic week for me. Buti na lang at si Aicee ang makakasama ko sa project na ito. No hassles kasi kapag ka-close mo ang makakasama mo. I was halfway towards my cubicle when I remembered na may naghihintay sa akin sa lobby. I called Ria.
