career hardship
"Don't rain on my parade."
hayyy. today is ma'am marianne's birthday. i solemnly prayed for her day to be stress-free. i even struggled in admitting that few of perfect attendance certificates still haven't been signed by JCS. well, it wasn't my fault actually. the certificates stuck with the others leaving them unseen and therefore, unsigned as well. by lunch break, we were happily waiting for our orders at a nearby restaurant when CYY called- ma'am carol, the heir to Nikon. she was pissed to receive my emailed weekly attendance reports. she complained that my reports were completely wrong. i won't elaborate on the details but those weren't wrong, she is. even ma'am joan and ma'am marianne agreed with that fact. i wasn't angry or saddened about what CYY commented on my reports because i don't care too much about what other people think of my labor, as long as i did my best and tried my hardest in doing what has been assigned to me, that gives me enough confidence regarding my performance- i know what i do and if not, i give efforts to know it by heart before or during doing the work; and i was just worried about ma'am marianne's big day. i don't want to ruin her day because of my fault, well, not solely but kind of.
"Be AGGRESSIVE. Be CONSISTENT."
thank goodness, ma'am marianne is such a sport. instead of drowning herself in anger and disappointment, she managed to stay calm and collected. she immediately thought of a plan and called for a short meeting between us HRs. as always, she reminded us of some of her wisdoms like 'talk to everyone level-headedly' and 'you are on your own, no one will back you up but yourself'. anyway, this day still ended pretty peacefully, though quite nerve-wracking.
thank you God for this challenging day, may this event make us wiser. now i pray for tomorrow, let it be everything but meaningful and awesome as everyday. \
toodles babies!
