Ibu Dewi Fortuna Anwar in Vienna

On June 30th, 2004 at about 20:30 CET, Ms. Dewi Fortuna Anwar, setau gue sih Juru Bicara Kepresidenan zamannya Habibie, gave a talk on the coming presidecial election in Wisma Dubes. I think she's here to attend the UN sidang - on what, I have no idea - presenting ASEAN. (wow!)

Now, considering the fact that my understanding on politics is below the zero level, I'll not waste my energy and wrack my brain to write about the contents of her talk. I'll just describe how hectic my day was preparing for this particular event, since this was my sole reason for existing at Wisma on that evening - organizing :D

Right, my day started quite OK actually. Didn't wake up late - for the first time this week! hehe. Got to the office OK, not early but not that late either :D I didn't have any pending matters on my desk cuz I've done them the day before - cuz Oom Damos was leaving for Indonesia for good on the same day - except for the laporan keuangan konsuler untuk bulan Juni, which I thought would be the only thing I'd be busying myself with that day and seeing Oom Damos off at the airport, I had nothing else to do.

Then suddenly... BAM!!! Came a very distressed Mas Taufik into my office and asked me to help him contact the people in the guest-list - that was about 8 hours before the event. This man's gotta be crazy! But, he is still in a way my atasan, so I helped him. I sat down with him and made the phone calls. By one-thirty I've contacted almost half of the people... I even made phone-calls on the way to the airport (and back to the office). When I got back to the office at about 16.15, I have called all the people and gotten mostly "confirmed". I was pretty pleased with myself and quite relieved, until...

My financial report!!! I had forgotten all about it!!! I still needed to type the whole thing and edit it! And I only had less than 2 hours to finish it and leave it on my boss' desk to have him sign it - before I had to fly from the office to Wisma Duta (which are only hundreds meters apart... hehe) And there I went again. Panicking while my fingers were flying over the keyboard and frantically typing. By 18.45 my printer was happily producing 30 or so pages of the report. That left me only 15 minutes to be at Wisma. Actually I was already 15 minutes late cuz I had to be there half an hour before it started as I had to be penerima tamu. So I flew to Wisma and in 5 minutes I was standing at the doors of Wisma, freshly made-up, and smiling, welcoming the guests... walaupun agak ngos-ngosan... :D
