I would like to be part of the HR team in the office. I love doing the employee screening. I could still remember my very first job interview. I think I was able to impress the boss then that is why I was hired and is still with the same company for eight years already! The employment process was very strict then. There was even a background check. One of the contact persons I indicated in the application form told me that he indeed received a call from the HR department verifying my identity. Some people also went to my address and asked my neighbors about me. The interview was actually just to confirm what they gathered from their background check.

The hero in me?
01
Jul
I just received a call from one of the supervisors in the office asking me if I could come to office early. I told her that I am on the afternoon shift. She said that she would arrange for me to have the early morning shift instead. That is 8AM. I have to render OT at 6AM. Well, she said that my expertise is needed for some enhancements that would occur tomorrow. Who am I to decline? I do not know but, the hero in me is acting up again? For what? Nothing, I guess… or should I say, for the Glory of my Creator. I learned from one of my friends that we should offer everything that we do to Him.
Undecided

While waiting for EC drops, I decided to create some posts. I really do not have anything in mind right now. It is very preoccupied with some things that I have to decide on. Plus, I am not really inspired with things lately. I wanted to do so much but I just do not have the drive.
Anyways, let me just share my experiences the past days. I decided to send my resume to another department. Things went fast and the supervisor was asking for the signed sort of release paper from my present bosses. I asked my immediate superior to sign the letter of intent to transfer to another group. She somehow understood and was ready to sign it. After all, it is never a sure thing that when you apply to another department, you would be accepted right away.
It was a different story for my another boss who is the boss of my boss. Too many bosses, huh! She said that I have too much talent and would not grow in the new group that I plan to go to. She said that she would offer something to me that I might like. If ever, at least I have some options.
Our program manager called me today and discussed the offer to me. Now, I got until tomorrow to tell them my decision. I really have not decided yet. I need Divine intervention.
I should belong to another Boss !

I would like to get out of my comfort zone. I am not happy anymore at my present job. There are opportunities to transfer to another department but my husband would not allow me to. However, I realized that I am the one who is suffering everyday working in an environment that kills me slowly as the days go by.
When I arrived home yesterday, I tried to talk to him about my intention to finally transfer to another department. Again, he disagreed and tried to change my mind. He said that it would not be practical. It would be like starting again. It is like being in a new job again. I understand where he is coming from. Maybe he is afraid?
Anyways, I would like to try my luck to transfer to a new group. I am praying for it. If I would be accepted, then it only means one thing… I should belong to another Boss again!
Something to come home to
01
Jun
The trip last night was very long. The reason? It was raining. Expect heavy traffic whenever it rains. I even rendered overtime and went home at around 630PM. It was not hard to catch a ride though. Maybe because it was a Sunday. No more rush hour to avoid. Upon reaching the jeep terminal, I was lucky to be the last passenger to fill in that 24 seater jeep. I am not that slim to fit in that tiny space left. I was only half seated. I was thinking if I would just get down and take the next jeep but that would be another ten minutes or so of waiting. I wanted to go home already. I arrived home at around 8PM. My husband immediately prepared the table for dinner. Wow! All along I thought that we would have the canned tuna that I bought yesterday. Yes, we are on a budget diet! Hubs prepared fried tilapia with matching steamed kangkong! Sumptuous! Sayang, there is no available fruit for dessert. I just looked for the gummie candies from Japan. That made my dinner complete.
She works hard for the money

She works hard for the money. This is one of the songs that brought Kris Allen, the new American Idol to the top. However, I could not find a video that could be embedded here. So, I went for the original. The one by Donna Summer.
This is my tribute also to all working women like me!
Why start tomorrow?

I am awake at this early again! Before, I had to wake up early because I have to blog, write some posts and do some blog hops. But now, I have to wake up early because I have to leave the house by 630AM! Yes, I am an ordinary office employee who works 8-5! My schedule would be like that until next week. I do not know if it is a plot. They know that I am up to prove myself? Some things in the office really sucks right now that I am challenged to prove to all that I am the best! Ha,ha,ha,ha! Sounds heavy? Nah, it is just my imagination.
Seriously, it is all about me. I am always late for the past two years until this month. I would like to be prompt in all aspects beginning June. I do not know if the scheduler heard about it and is up to challenge me by giving me the earliest shift. You know, our house is quite far from the office. Moreover, I have to commute. If only I could use the motorcycle to go to the office. But, I am afraid! The other big vehicles like cars, jeeps, buses, vans and others might just hit me and throw me away! That could be the end of ME! And one thing more, I do not have a driver’s license 
He,he,he.
Okay, too much of my morning rant. I have to go and prepare. I have to be at the office before 8AM. Why start tomorrow, huh? I could start now! Go,go,go!
Seven posts and three batches

May
In two hours I was able to finish seven posts and three batches of clothes! Yes, multitasking is the word! I am so happy that I was able to do all of that in such a short time. Thanks to the washing machine and of course to the quietness of the morning that I could concentrate on what I am doing. But now, they are all awake! I have to go to the office also in about thirty minutes. I hope to get some commuter stories this time. Still sleepy? Yes, but I am in a really great mood today! I hope that no one would break it!
Her sideline

May
I have an officemate who is very industrious. She has all kinds of sidelines! Just this morning, she presented me with an insurance quote for me and my husband. She said that I might like to put my savings there. She is a good seller,huh! No wonder, she got many clients. Had she convinced me? I am still thinking about it. I already have two. Maybe, adding one would not be bad after all.
