MY FAVORITE PART OF THE WEEK

My favorite part of the week is here! I love weekends because I get to spend time with the husbo!  The past 3 weeks have been hectic and sadly the husbo and I never got to spend time together.  He did made great efforts though and I am really touched. Now I've learned my lesson: never do office work on weekends.  

No major plans for the weekend. We will just laze in bed and watch our favorite TV series. We will probably do some malling next week when we're both recharged. :)

So that's it, just wanted to say happy weekend everyone! Enjoy!

IS IT TIME TO WORK FROM HOME?

Today was great.  The husbo and I went out on a simple date. We just went to a nearby mall and shopped to our heart's content (a.k.a until our pockets were empty LOL!). It's a good thing most of the stores were offering items on sale. We were two happy shoppers!  

This was the second date in two days and I am just happy.  Please pardon the shallowness, but when your work schedules only allow you to see each other 2 days in a week, you treasure the times you spend together - every single minute of it. No matter how simple, even if it's just eating breakfast together or waking up beside each other is already something to be thankful for.

Which really makes me think about my plans for next year - of quitting my job and just work from home full time.  It's a daunting thought and there's a lot to consider but so far, the pros outweigh the cons.

Shifting Careers?

I've been thinking about other work opportunities that doesn't require me to work the night shift. As much as I appreciate the financial rewards I am getting from working in a contact center, I really think it's about time for me to focus on our marriage. But with us working different times, we only get to see each other during the weekends.

I know I am blessed and I still get to see my husband at the end of a work week while others who have their husbands/wives in a different part of the globe only get to see theirs for a couple of years. But sometimes, I get to thinking you know. While we are both here, it's really lame that we only get to spend time with each other for only 2 days.

I've been looking through the internet and it seems that virtual office assistants are booming these days. I'm thinking of giving it a try, even just for part time. If it's going to be on North American time, then at least I get to stay home and see the husband. It is soo tempting! Flexible working hours!

What do you guys think?

Work and Career

I went back to work today. And as expected, I sorted through hundreds of emails. Things were pretty okay. But towards the end of the shift i got really pissed off at someone. I mean, dude, where's your brain?! Do you even understand what I am talking about?! Or do you want me to spell it out? Grrr! Oh well, just another day in the office.

Because of my indignation. I went home early. I clocked out at exactly 5AM and left the office. Well, that was my sort of resolution since last week. To leave the office at the end of my shift no matter how much more work needs to be done. I mean, I can only do so much. I did my best, did not waste the company's time so I believe I am entitled to go home when my shift ends. I don't have OT pay anyway. :D

Besides, I just noticed that the husband and I rarely talk anymore since we don't get to see each other during the weekdays. It makes me sad. That's when I decided enough is enough. Nothing can ever replace a broken marriage. So now, when I go home early, I get to cook him breakfast and we get to eat breakfast together. Things have been going nicely since then.

I guess I just really need to find that balance. To manage my time more efficiently. Know my priorities. I know I can do it and I will.

Just Some Work Stuff

It's been a while and I've got really nothing exciting to post about. My life has been all about work lately.

I am finally adjusting to the new site and I must say the people there are really nice. Tasks are a mountain high as usual but I get by. We had one big issue a while ago though that got me anxious again but everything turned out okay. I guess I just need to work on a couple of skills some more.

One thing that's getting me by is the full support of the husband. His patience and understanding about my work and what I do is pretty amazing! I am very thankful I have him beside me. I am putting much effort on spending more time with him so weekends for me are very very sacred. I just pray that I get to learn how to manage my time better.

This weekend is exciting to say the least. Our 10th anniversary is coming up. We have no big plans. Dinner or lunch date outside I guess. I know, I know it's pretty boring but hey, we're on a budget here people! ;) Well, we're trying to save up for a car actually so wish us luck on that too! So that's about me for now. I promise to tell you all about the weekend as soon as I get the chance. Toodles! :)

Disoriented

I am feeling disoriented these days - all work related. Since the account is new and a lot of things aren't in place yet, I've only had a maximum of 5 hours of sleep since Thursday. I was even at work last weekend.

Moving to another site is another factor. When you are suddenly plucked out of your comfort zone, wouldn't you be disoriented too? I honestly miss the people I worked with back at the other site. I miss the office. At the new site I am still settling in. Trying to get to know the people. Please don't get me wrong, I am not complaining - just voicing out my stress.

I tell myself this too shall pass. Once the new account settles in a couple of months and I get to know people around, I am sure I will enjoy every bit of my working day as I did with the other site. But for now, I'd have to deal.

Up for the Challenge!

The promotion was finalized today. Starting Monday, I will be a Workforce Supervisor for a new account. Yey! It's going to be quite a challenge though as I will be juggling 2 accounts for the first 3 months.

I feel elated and nervous at the same time. Am I really ready for this? Well, God must have thought so for Him to have given me this favor and I am extremely thankful.

If God thinks I am ready then bring it on! I am up for the challenge!
