Due to the bad weather, the site has issued a number of dress-down days in order to relieve the employee from prepping up for work. It wouldn’t be a good sight to see somebody coming in to work with their best and yet become all wet.
Edcel – a personal weblog mind games and then some.
load off
July 19, 2011 — edcelI’m glad that a little bit of load was taken off my back because things became too busy for me that I didn’t know what to do anymore. Suddenly it became hard to put focus on utilizing other resources because everyday, my mind was preoccupied with finishing different jobs and I couldn’t stop myself from NOT sleeping. Rest was something that was forgotten and I didn’t know how I could juggle everything at once. Sure, I was able to do these things before; but not as fast anymore. Sign of old age? Not really. It’s more on concentrating on activities that have more value in the long term.
Investments
June 20, 2011 — edcelHave made some investments in order to squeeze whatever I can out of the knowledge that I’ve gain during a 10-day vacation. I hope to replicate what I already have so I can multiply the revenue within 3 months.
Going back to the grind
June 9, 2011 — edcelThe week is almost over. I’ll be back to the office. Somehow, I don’t feel like working. Things have been happening so fast that I don’t know if I still want to work. I think it’s just one of those days when I don’t feel like it. But I hope this will soon pass because I need all the energy I can get just to read a hefty number of emails and reminders.
break
May 14, 2011 — edcelI long for another break. A break away from the taxing realities of everyday work. Not that I can’t handle the stress. But I can’t bear the thought of appreciation not being recognized according to its due. I plan to just head off to a distant place just to unwind and relax. No concrete plans and just spur-of-the-moment decisions. I hope I’ll be able to do that before the summer ends. I haven’t even gone out of town! Sheesh
quick one
May 2, 2011 — edcelThis will be a quick update. I’m sick.
- Been working my arse off the past few weeks which isn’t really such a bad thing because of added responsibility that ups my value and makes me more useful. Compared to the past months, I’ve been doing more than the usual tasks and I’m welcoming the change.
another set of workload
March 29, 2011 — edcelI’ll be given another set of responsibility at work. I’m not sure if I mind. I’m not clamoring for it; but it’s fine. I’ll be having other tasks which will be helpful when I want to learn new skills like supervising people. No coachings but only feedbacks. I hope the team will do well as I don’t need the pressure of handling hard-headed people. Besides, I’m supposed to transition to a nomad’s life soon. For now, I’ll develop whatever skill I can learn.
working on weekends
March 20, 2011 — edcelDon’t have much to do over the weekend and my trips are currently put on hold until I am able to save. Apparently, I haven’t been doing well with working hard. Now that I’ve found a new job, I’m using the opportunity to learn new things so I may expand my knowledge about freelancing and web marketing.
getting the hang of it
February 26, 2011 — edcelFirst 3 days were torture but on the 4th, it was starting to be okay. This won’t be bad for me. At least I have additional funds to pay for debts and other loans I’ve accumulated through the years.
night shift again
February 19, 2011 — edcelI’m going back to the night shift. After more than a year of working in a normal schedule, I’ll be a nocturnal creature again, dependent no caffeine to keep me awake. Well, dependent is too strong a word.
night shift
August 10, 2010 — edcelI’m on the night shift for two days nights. I’m on training and I have to comply with the schedule that was available so I can learn a new line of business that I’ll be handling. Being a point of contact has its rewards and sacrifices. Now my sleep is sacrificed. I didn’t realize how alive the night is because of how normal my office job has been for the past years. Food shops and cafes are put up and more buildings are rising in the business park where I’m working. I’m wondering if I’ll still be here when all of these will be completed.
time flies
July 19, 2010 — edceland we’re still here. I’m glad that there are people who are good enough to doubt twice before believing. My point is that I’m more curious on how businesses are sustained. It doesn’t matter where the money had come from, it’s a matter of what you do with it in order to preserve and circulate it.
painting my future
June 13, 2010 — edcelWoke up from a power nap when I had to stare at nothing again. Little did I know that the act of doing so fueled my mind into contemplating the repercussions of my recent activity at work.
when to jump?
June 6, 2010 — edcelI’m prolonging the agony and I seem to be liking it. Makes me wonder what will happen if I choose one and the remaining crashes – this will probably leave me stunned but only for a moment. I can’t have the best of both worlds as it’s already been half a year that I’ve been sacrificing and torturing myself into stretching my limits.
4th year
May 24, 2010 — edcelRunning on my 4th year with the same company. Dang. I never knew I’d stay this long. I never thought that I’d stay this short. My mind is wandering off to somewhere safer, although less greener. Anyway, at least I reached this long already. We’ll see what will happen then.
