Are You Happy?

During my appraisal, my boss asked me if I am happy with my work. He felt that I lacked the zeal I used to have.

1. I come in at 9:30AM instead of 8:30AM.
2. I am not as patient with my users as I used to.

At the start of the year, I told myself that I will change but the thing is, it's still pending. Could it be that I am really not happy? When will I find job satisfaction?

hi salme. i was in a semi-same situation back there in sing. the difference is that i didn't lose the zeal to perform at work but i was always 'unhappy' being at work while leaving my baby with the yaya's care.

it was quite a long battle in my head, ie to quit or not to. thankfully, i am at peace now where i am.

just pray for guidance and let Him take you where He wants you to be.
don't be afraid to make a change.

take care.

i think we can always choose and decide to be happy. but being career women and working moms, i really feel for you. whatever it is that we decide, God will always be with us. =)

i say amen to the 2 comments given to you. You have a choice, but yet, remember always, one can never get all that he/she wants in life. You can be happy at home, being a stay home mom, but remember what sacrifices you have to tackle financially. So it's your priority. Others sacrifice $$ for the security of being a stay home mom. Learn to be content is the key, as aspostle Paul wrote in Phil 4:11-12. Whether in need or in abundance, be content. try to practice changing your mind frame, and find joy in whatever you do, no matter how hard it may be. I read "one cannot live a psitive life if one has a negative mind." ponder on it...and be thanksful in all circumstances.

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!
