Work

  • Becoming braver

    Sometimes I am faced with a challenge, and I’m afraid of guessing a solution and making the problems worse. To be safe, I seek help of people I assume will know better. Then I realize those people are as helpless as I am, and give me only what I have already seen or else something Read more

  • Giving thanks

    A few months ago, I posted about Motivation, which was about a recent change in roles and managers at work. Well… in spite of our great work together, and the amazing results I was able to get in the past couple of months under his leadership, I unfortunately did not survive yet another reorg at Read more

  • Motivation

    Nope, this is not one of those self-help kinda posts. It may also be too early to talk about it, but I just wanted to share that I am finally happy and excited to come to work, after 10 years at the company. Well… the first year was good. Then, the job changed a bit Read more

  • Right now!

    On a meeting. Not sure why I’m involved on this. I don’t  like it. I don’t want to be here. Right now, I need to create a report for later. Right now, I need to do homework due in tonight’s class. Right now, I’m getting hungry and want to go for a walk before lunch, Read more

  • Sad day at work?

    Today is sort of a sad day at work. My good friend Michael is leaving the company and going to a competitor. I do believe the change will be great for him, as his new job will be more in line with what he enjoys and his position will be a better one. Salary will Read more

  • Yesterday my friend and I scheduled a walk together for today at noon. But this morning was pretty rainy and my friend had no umbrella. So this is the little dialog we had on IM to agree on what to do. Gotta love emoticons! 😉 Read more

  • This morning I was participating on a meeting with 7 other people, to a total of 8 people in the room. Subject wasn’t the most interesting of all, so at some point I found myself with some very odd and weird thoughts. Going back in time for a few years just to add some background…. Read more

  • Day of Caring

    I work on a big corporation, which is associated with United Way. That means that every year, at the end of September the company, together with many other companies in the area, donates its employee’s time to do volunteer work. And this day we call Day of Caring. I’ve been participating on the Day of Read more

  • The title above can summarize my day so far, and it’s only 2:00 PM. My 2 daughters have a cough that’s been going on for a couple weeks now. So earlier this week we called the doctor and scheduled a visit for both of them to happen today afternoon. But last night the little one started Read more

  • Ok. today I feel a bit weird. I work with someone who is the opposite of me. She’s nice and she’s very efficient and gets lots of work done, but she’s also very stressed out, she freaks out for anything, she’s not too flexible and can be a bit bossy. I, in the other hand, am Read more

  • April 18th, day we would be receiving files from vendors at work, I spend the day taking it easy, just helping the contractors for my project with the receiving of the files they were processing for me, while also working on some other small tasks here and there. Apparently easy day. But the entire day I had that weird Read more

  • Today the day started sort of stressfull. Hubby a bit grumpy for a little silly fight last night (and so was I); kids not really willing to leave home for school… you know… typical crazy morning of those days that start off bad. Then, I left home, drop off the kids in school, went for Read more
