seeing the light

i feel better today than i did for a while now. the past few days have been my most unmotivated time at work just because of my katopakan hahaha! parang nagsasawa lang at the same time tinatamaad kaya ang daling mainis at mairita with everything related to work. parang nawala yung enthusiasm and passion that i've always had with almost everything i do. tao rin tlaga ako at sadyang tinotopak din. ewan ko paano nawala ang said katopakan, nagdecide lang ako kanina paggising ko na nakakapagod tamarin sa life in general kaya panahon na para sa pagbabago hehehe. it's better to be open and happy with everything life brings you or else ikaw din talo sa huli. not making much sense huh? eto ang epekto pag 3 days kang straight sa work eh hehe.

tomorrow's a brand new day so smile and welcome it with open arms. there's no use fighting the inevitable, just make the most out of it and learn. =)

reliever blues

So it's been almost 3 weeks now since I started to be a reliever. Let me define what a reliever is first, it's a supervisor who goes around 2 or 3 stores per week to take his/her duty. Meaning a reliever does not have one store of their own. We take our duty where we are needed, usually when the supervisor of a particular store is taking his/her rest day. We spend about 2 days per store, well at least that's the usual practice. My area manager talked to me a couple of days before i was about to be a reliever. She first asked me if i would consider it. At that time i was in a bit of a rut at work. I felt like i had no more energy and motivation to be excited about going to work everyday. So i welcome the change and told her i would do it, plus the stores she mentioned where i would be taking my duty are easily within reach.

Going around different stores and meeting new people is exciting. It takes a strong foundation of core values and knowledge of standard operating procedures to make being a reliever work. If you have yet to master all the things you have to do and that couples with having to adjust to different environments, you'll be in trouble. Flexibility is the name of the game. As well as the ability to get along with different kind of people and work with different kind of systems. I'm learning a lot and am enjoying my time but i still feel unmotivated most of the time. Maybe i'm just over all of it? I don't know exactly what i'm looking for but i know i want to try other things and discover what it is i want to do.

Hmm.. maybe i'll stick it out until i reach one year with the company or maybe not. I'm not sure. There are bad days as well as good days so.. yeah. Let's see where it takes me in the end.
