March 3, 2013. Sunday. 10 PM. It’s been
a while since I last wrote about my days and before I start to forget
everything I want to write them all down now. I want to keep as much records as
I can to laugh about when I get old and older LOL
The other Friday was a work performance evaluation day for all the staffs in every department conducted by its managers. We never had evaluation in the past years (as far as I can remember). I was evaluated after my first 3 months in the company then after another 3 months to be a regular. That was so far the evaluations everyone had after getting hired. The company swelled so another sister company was born last 2011. The mother company shrinks in size and number, and then it’s been growing its belly again from having one additional vessel after another. Anyway, I’m one of those who were retained in the mother company. We have a new management so there has been quite a lot of a change since then. Moving on with the evaluation, I was evaluated by my manager and so far so good! Among 12 specific skills/knowledge rated from 1-5, where 1 is the lowest, I had two 5’s (integrity with work and attention to details), two 4’s (I already forgot what they were), and the rest are 3’s (meeting the expectations/policies, something like that) Some of the 3’s I’d say was rated unfair but I don’t want to argue to say I’ve done more than what was expected from me. Well, to our new manager, for a year now, I don’t want to make anything hard for her when our department is already struggling with workloads and her being under so much pressure. So I just said okay to her and took the result as they were but it was really hard to write a comment on the evaluation sheet. Plus, I hate work politics! Here’s what I wrote after about 4 hours of constant mind battles LOL…. Every day, I am always pleased to know that I’ve done a job well, regardless the extra time needed to spend to meet the work demands. To me, it is already a self- accomplishment and I am very much willing to keep pleasing myself for my own good and for the company I work for.

Last week, I had two lunch dates. One
for Remy’s birthday - your gray hair is
ashamed by your youthful looks my dear! The second was a treat by Russell,
one of the accounting cadets back then. After being onboard ones, he’s joining
this month as third officer after passing the exam. He took us (accounting
staffs) for lunch to celebrate. Quite an achiever - be safe onboard and never let the waves wash away your cheerfulness,
Sir!
Also, last week, I’ve been attending
meetings (all 3) for the new payroll system during working hours. It was
killing me to be away from my desk really. Last Friday felt like Wednesday! My
time table is hurt. Ouch! I don’t even want to think of Monday yet, but Monday
is tomorrow, I have to face it. Oh my…. I hope I won’t have many distractions
then, but I doubt that LOL Well, c’mon, hurry up and torture me before I get
bored and fall asleep! LOL
I’m back online on yahoo when 2013 hits
March. It’s my ID, I can do whatever I want with it. I started to question
myself, why in the world I stopped using it for 10 months. It was for the good of
everybody why I stayed away anyway. Well, next month - April, will be a year
since I first went to Bangkok, to spend time with him, for us. Then our return
became a month of a long agonizing affair. So now I’m back online, a month
ahead of the celebration for another month of long affair – a good one! I initially
planned to be back next month but I felt now is the right time. I need it as
well for an on-time email updates. It’s hard to track them with my
messenger off at work. I don’t get alerts right away on my screen! Well, welcome
back to me!
Yesterday, in one of my MBA classes, I was
one of those first few brave souls who volunteered to stand before the class
and the meticulous professor to present our prepared case analysis. I was the
fourth presentor, after Mr. Engineer (a business enthusiast now), Mr. President
(a fast food store manager who was elected as class president) and Mr. Accountant.
I was slightly nervous and I mumbled at first but I’ve recovered after a
minute. You made it, Daisy, you made it! Whoo-hoh! I’m kinda challenged to do
that a lot in the class LOL
Today, I had a facial care from one of
my discounted vouchers. What a lovely treat – diamond peel! Then I tagged along
with Remy and her sister, going to a supermarket sale, where they always shop
and I haven’t been into. Surprisingly, I’ve saved some penny there. Now I have
another alternative place to go to buy goods and stuffs.
Alright, its time to devote some time to
read before sleeping. Tonight will be with John Grisham – I missed his book.
So, Philip Kotler and whoever, stay back for now! LOL ^__^
