a new day, a new post

haa....being ignorant can be such a curse...
I had to do the formalities for placing an order for the kitchen equipment...the buzz of the day was kitchen equipment.....so the procedure was to prepare a note of approval and then get it signed by 3 responsible people and then prepare a purchase order and finall get it going.
it took almost 3 hours for me to understand this small thing....we had the note of approval ready. we had the comparatives ready( comparatives maane quotes from various vendors and the logic is to award the order to lowest tendor)
All the negotiations that we had done was written in the note of approval with our terms and conditions of payment and the delivery period.
I was then given a sample pay order and told to make one for the kitchen equipment. so i did and then i dint know what was the indent number for the same and the next alien number is the purchase order no.
With a grin on my face as if i had actually discovered the unknown i came and told the same to my lady boss(ahh) and i was so glad i remembered the terms. but to my surprise she said ...i dont understand what you say and i dont want to ...you just get the job done..understand for urself...
i was like wat?
then i went back to the sales department and asked can you explain and they did...
then as i said the note of approval had to be signed by 3 dignitaries and out of which 2 had already done the honours..
the third is Ms. Arti ( AGM) i have no idea what it means...she was so reluctant...she bombarded me with questions i had no answers for.. but then as i say..my lady boss spoke to her and got it done.
finally i submitted the papers to the sales dept... and i hope they place the order..
god this was so terrifying...
