Bakasyon! Monday, July 30, 2007 |
Yehey, after weeks of desperation, we finally got our much awaited OB to the plant!!!
As I have mentioned in my previous posts, I need this trip to refresh my mind and more importantly my outlook towards work. Kailangan ko na ng sariwang hangin at magandang tanawin ng Batangas.
And now, the timing's even beter because Sir Torvic will be having a "party" tomorrow to celebrate his bday! Not only that, on wednesday, there will be a basketball game and we will have the chance to watch our friends play!
Excited na ko.. YAHUU!

Lately i've been thinking a lot about my job and the frustations that come along with "unmet" expectations.
I was fooled into thinking that I would be mentored by someone who has the skill of, well, mentoring. But now, having just 8 months of "experience", I now see that we're on this training not with a mentor, but with a CHALLENGE.
Early on this so-called training, we already had a glimpse of what it'll be like. But, being new, we knew better than to jump into conclusions that early. We rationalized things, seeing the "positive efforts" that come after "negative situations".
============
There will
never be any valid reason for anyone to snap at people in front of other people, even if the person you are snapping at is someone of lower, say, authority [which I think makes it even more no-no].
I dread the day that I would be the subject of such humiliating situation. But I dread even more the day that I would lose my enthusiasm to work just because of such people, because honestly, as early as now I'm already quite bothered.
And I still have 2 more years to endure this state.

My job's fine, really.
But if I look at the whole set-up (as in the bigger picture: the people, the atmosphere...) it doesn't encourage me to be contented with the fact that my job's just FINE and not GREAT.
So, AM I HAPPY?
I can't really say I'm totally not. But what I do know is that I can [and want to] be happier.

There are times when you have plenty of time to do nothing (like now) and then you begin contemplating on things you shouldn't at all be thinking about. I mean, it's like you're creating a dilemma of your own by thinking of such things when, left unthought of, wouldn't really give you problems at all. Too much thinking indeed isn't healthy--I've known this for a long time now but this brain when left idle just keeps on creating issues.
So does that mean I should always be deep in work so that my mind won't wander off to some create-your-own-dilemma land? As in work here in the office? HERE IN THE OFFICE?!?! Nah.
I think this is a pretty solid reason why I should be back in Batangas. Seriously.

I sooo love the chorus part of this song by Kyla:
I see beautiful days with you I feel beautiful ways of loving you You’ve touched my heart so deeply And I can’t thank God enough For all the beautiful days with you I feel beautiful ways of loving you Everything is just so wonderful Every little thing is just so beautiful When I spend it with you...Ü

I love this day, a "beautiful day" indeed! I find the saying "when the cat is away, the mice will play" very true to my situation today. Hahahaha. Good thing our internet's back, this mouse now has a lot to play with! Take this blogging for an example. Hehehehe.

I hope the results turn out ok for the mini-experiment they had back in the lab. Because if it does, that would mean a 2-day "vacation" (at the least i hope) for both Anne and I. We've been missing the "Batangas-life" for ages now and next week seems to me a very good time to be back there. This head office atmosphere is beginning to cripple my mind. I need the fresh air and wonderful sceneries of the road-to-the-JG plant to revive (?) me.

I'm back Friday, July 13, 2007 |
It's been over a month since my last post. Basing on the amount of activity on my blog when I was away, I can see that nobody really noticed my absence. Haha, oh well.
Actually, the absence of internet access in our office went right on time with my intense need to blog, to jot down all random thoughts I have been storing (?) in my mind regarding things that have happened. And since they're all in the past now, the momentum of writing those is now gone.
============
Yehey! I'm really glad our internet's back. Now I can post pictures in my Flickr again.
Yahu!
