Realizations Without Direction
Tuesday, August 28, 2007
Part of my job in a contact center is forecasting and planning. It entails forecasting the amount of calls our site will receive based on historical data. After that, comes planning for the right amount of people to be placed at the right time with the resources we have. It is no easy feat, I tell you.
Sometimes, I think about forecasting and planning in my everyday life. (I know life is unpredictable but I guess it's okay to at least have a plan.) It got me thinking about my career and my life. Lately, it seems that my life revolves around my work. I spend more of my daily hours in the office and never get to spend time with the husband.
Like this weekend for instance. I was at work the entire weekend (It was a long weekend due to the holiday) and even had to go to work early yesterday. The husband, as always, was very understanding and patient but until when, right? Everyone and everything has a boiling point. I don't want to be nonchalant about this and eventually find myself one day feeling sorry about not taking care of our marriage.
This is just random rambling guys. Just putting down thoughts without any direction at all. Writing realizations and letting out steam. I don't know. Maybe this is just PMS. ;)

Of Moving
Sunday, August 26, 2007
Moving in any form is not fun. Wether it is moving from one house to another, moving from one job to another or probably as simple as being assigned to another location. It is no fun I tell 'ya.
I am experiencing the latter. Part of the promotion was being assigned to another site. Not really that far from each other. Both in Metro Manila. But still, it involves packing my stuff and saying goodbye to people who have been a part of my life already.
I will miss my old office where we have this great view of a river. Where we see the sun shine every morning. I will miss the coziness of my station, the privacy of the office. I will miss the people I worked with inside that office - Arvin, Chzel, Mark,Paolo, Josh and Z. They're a fun bunch and I've grown to consider them dear friends! I will miss our lunch breaks and our "yosi" breaks. Sigh! Oh! and I will miss Pesto and Sans Rival at Selah (a local cafe and restaurant at that building).
I honestly feel like crying. But I have to compose myself as this is a part of life - of a career I chose. I acknowledge my sadness but I have to choose to be happy and excited about the new things I will encounter. The new people I will meet. The new challenges waiting for me. And while a portion of my heart will always be a part of 'Pioneer', I choose to boldly face the new role I am about to take.

Random Ramblings
Monday, August 13, 2007
Well hello!
I really am sorry for neglecting to post on this blog. My life was in topsy turvy a while back. But anyhoo, I am here now. So let me do a random update - ramblings if you please. :)
So how has life been? It's been a roller coaster ride. The husband had an open cholecystectomy a month ago due to a 2.9 cm gallstone. Thank and praise God he is okay now. In fact, by God's grace and favor, the husband is now on his way to the office. Back to work, back to the grind. :)
After a 5 day leave from the office, I had my work cut out for me so that got me really busy for a couple of days. Plus we had a wonderful family gathering 2 weeks ago so that got me busy as well. But, I enjoyed every minute of me being busy. I need to work on my time management skills though ;)
Last week, adter careful consideration, I applied for a supervisory position at work. I was relly hesitant at first because I felt so inadequate. But like they say, God puts dreams in our hearts and He brings it to pass. The verdict is out. I got the position. So starting today, I report as a cadet Workforce Supervisor. I'll be juggling 2 accounts so that spells B-U-S-Y for me.
I am truly thankful to God. I know this is one of His many favors to me given by His undying grace and love.
So that's it for this post. Sorry if it sounded boring. I promise to post better next time. :)
