This way to the stars

I am not a secretary

My dad just asked me to revise a write-up made by one of his employees from UP Los Banos regarding his new company, Orange Innovative Technologies, Inc.

Once again, my dad treated me like a personal secretary whose English and typing skills are free of charge. *sigh*

Of course, I am proud that he entrusted me with totally redoing his company's write-up, which will be posted in their website. The original draft made by my dad's employee was horrendous anyway, with lots of grammatical errors, wrong tenses and subject-verb agreement, and an annoying amount of redundant and vague statements that looked as though they were written by grade school students.

Example:

"Mr. [name of CEO] is started the Orange Innovative Technologies, Inc."

Ok. The draft really needed an editor, no doubt about that. But why had it been me? Didn't my dad have other employees to do it? Is this a clue as to how incompetent his employees are, especially as, after he had seen my revised edition of the write-up, he wanted me to make another write-up for another of his companies (Forbes Consultancy Corp.)?

I should really be charged for this. I want an allowance raise!

This is a serious bout of backstabbing. I. Must. Stop.

Meanwhile, I feel so doomed for my Botany lec finals later. I wasn't able to download the handouts of my classmates' reports since according to Yahoo! "the group has exceeded its download limit, please try again later". And when is later, may I ask? After 24 hours? Hello, I damn *@$%^&! need the handouts NOW since they're included in the finals!

Breathe, steph. Breathe. After 3:30 pm later, everything related to Botany can be wiped out of my brain.
