Happy sharing!

HI, don't know if this will qualify as outrageous, but I calculated the days my boss and his family (wife, 4 kids) stayed inside the US and outside the US for almost 10 years. This is for their US Citizenship application. I am here in Qatar, so my Superiors are Arabs, but my 2 bosses are aiming to secure Amerizan Citizenship and Canadian Citizenship. I usually process their visa applications when the need arises such as Schengen, UK, China, Japan, Korea, India etc. aside from their US and Canada visas back then.

They travel a lot, so imagine kung gano ka-tedious yung ginawa ko pag calculate ng days, using their passports, available tickets and notes, usually pa mali mali binibigay nya sakin data. Aside from calculating the days na wala sila sa US vis a vis nasa loob sila ng US. I need to take note din the dates of their arrivals and departures. And I am telling you they travel a lot. Literal na jetsetter.

my previous boss asked me to make an nbi clearance of my officemate from a scanned nbi clearance. sabi ko ayoko. so yung mas senior yung gumawa.


i was also asked to change something sa document na binigay ng isang bank para sa isa pang boss namin. di ko lang maalala if yung amt yun or something, basta may pinapabago sila sakin sa bank document,  i-scan ulit nila then edit ko daw sabi ko ulit ayoko gawin.  it was 7 yrs ago pa so I can't really remember. i was a jr web designer back then.

Wow! That's tough! Did you get enough gratitude after doing all that at least? 

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

^^ Yes, pero super pigil haha, he tends to hold back his appreciation and gratitude, he only express it when the need arises (i.e. resignation).  He's Iraqi by the way.

I work on a graveyard shift. One time, the boss called the office at around 2:00 AM and asked us, including OJTs, to put everything we were doing on hold as he had a very important task for us. He came down to the office with his fiancee. (He lives in the same building as our office.) They asked us to log in to a website using dummy accounts that the fiancee prepared. They were breathing down our necks, constantly reminding us how crucial it was that when the clock strikes 3:00 AM, we should click a certain link in the website and it would direct us to the page where it will let us buy tickets. Apparently, we were supposed to help them grab a couple of limited VIP tickets to a huge music festival they wanted to go to. That's how important the task was.
