random rantings
back when i was still at the citi with my FILC girls and had some rush requirement for an agency, we all used to get this line as a reply:
"hindi kami pansitan. ano kayo, umo-order ng pansit?" ("we're not a noodle-restaurant. what do you think you're doing, just ordering a batch of noodles?" -- ie. it's not as instant as that).
that line used to drive me bonkers. seriously. because half the time, when i'm begging them for it, i'm already at breaking point and all i want is a serious reply to my request, not some sarcastic line.
now that i'm at the agency side, i can finally say that i now understand this line a lot better. :p while, i haven't said it to anyone, but i've actually thought it a lot these days (much to my surprise, it's an industry-wide term pala. i thought it was just that particular agency).
basically the past week has seen us deal with a client who generally rushed and asked for everything right away. don't get me wrong, we do everything we can to get our clients their materials as quickly as possible ... but there are times when time really is needed.
to cut the whole thing short - major ngarag sila dude. :p
and they're not starting our weekends off right either.
but anyway, that's it. i'm not gonna dwell on this na. :p

Haha.
Can definitely relate.
It is the culture.
Speak of that, and I think it will be all be uniform across all production houses/departments.
Matindi ba? Haha..kahit ata di production yun. Pati si Caloy may karanasan na diyan.
