Enough is Enough

I'm so mad working with the Indians!

I don't mean to be curt, but they make my blood boil and pressure up everytime I speak with them over the phone. This travel agent in Mumbai, she takes eons to give me the trekking itineraries I need for the CEO. I'm supposed to receive all the details rightfully on Tue, but yesterday was their Festival of Holi, so I told her specifically to send me TODAY by Indian noontime. Called her at 4pm earlier to chase, she said that her comp is down and needs about an hour more to send over, so I relented and watched the time. It has been over a freaking 2 hrs and I still didn't see her email in my inbox, so I made another trunk call to her again to chase. This time, she's smart. Her colleague picked my line and this is how the conversation went:

Me: Can I speak to Rinu pls?
Colleague: Who's that calling?
Me: XXX from S'pore.
Colleague: Oh, she's out for lunch.. (what? out for lunch at 3.30pm?)

Me: Oh really? She owed me some information but..
Colleague: M'dm, I believed she has already emailed you, perhaps you will receive it in 10 to 15mins time..
Me: You sure? Cos' I've been waiting so long for her info!
Colleague: Yes M'dm, I'm sure, you'll definitely receive it in 10-15mins time...
Me: ........

Guess what? It's been half an hour and muar has been checking my email but none from that Lady Rinu...

I hate playing waiting games..just send me the damn EMAIL will you, MS RINU?!?
