I am working on a Lazy, Rainy Monday

I almost didn't go to the office today. It was raining hard and the bed was just extra comfy this morning for me to get up. Finally, I decided to stand up and brave a lazy Monday morning.

Good thing I did. The moment I stepped on the tiled floors of my building, I saw my colleague who launched into his early morning to-do's. Then, after some serious instructions, my other colleague came over and insisted to do something which we specifically asked him to do in the morning.

Then, goodness gracious, just as I was about to excuse myself. Our boss came and joined the party. Him ---being the thoughtful person that he is asked me to bring his laptop in his room and reconfigure another Blackberry device for him as his old one conked out (he said that he just put it in his pocket then the screen went haywire --- pocket my face!).

So, ok, when I went up. My other colleagues were so pissed off that our boss asked me to bring up the laptop when I am so far in my pregnancy. The thing is I also don't have the guts to say "sorry boss, I can't". And, I had always made it seem that I can manage anything even pregnant. Oh my pride!

Whole morning, I braved all those lousy mass emails from people whose pcs were infected with virus. I had to delete thousands of them from the server and blocked them from coming in. Grrr... Then, a lot of people just wanted something from me today. Wow! A lot of people decided to do some serious work! (I can name one actually) Haha!

The thing is I am enjoying my day. That's how weird I am. The more work, the more I am satisfied. I just feel useless if I don't have anything to do.

Look at it this way. The Lord gave us talents to use. If you don't use it, then He might take it back. Won't that scare you? Hehe... Have a nice day!

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Busy

Bebi A : Daddy, can you make me an airplane? Daddy : Later Ava, I am busy Bebi A : You always say you're busy, you're hurting my feelings... She then put her face down on the sofa. Drama queen!
