Is your electric and water bills too high? And because your bills are high, you’re working all day and all night to make ends meet? Then here’s my advise. Conserve, conserve and conserve. It is a well known fact that the price of oil has been going up since who knows when. And since our goverments are not really into the idea of finding alternatives for oil, then let us do something for ourselves. Let us start conserving electricity and water. If we are not in the room or if you can manage to go about without the lights on then don’t turn the lights on. I guess one way of saving up is installing glass windows and glass doors in our houses. Kenneth and Mock, a german company specialising in this field would be a good choice. Although it might be a bit expensive but if you’ll come to think of it, you’ll be saving a lot more in the long run. Another is if we’re washing our clothes, let’s wash it bulk. Don’t be like my landlord who washes clothes every single day. And then when their electric and water bill comes in, they would complain that their bills are too high. Like duh? Why wouldn’t it go high? They’re using a washing machine everytime they wash their clothes. Could you just imagine how mouch electricity and water it consumes? If we are buying a washing machine or any electrical machines, we should make sure that it meets the standards and go for something that will not consume electricity that much. It will tell you how much eletricity it will consume. And for our water bill, recycling water will be a good way to lower it. Like for instance, for storing our plates and utensils, buy a covered container and place them in it so that you wouldn’t have to wash them before you use them. Then we can have a big container where we can place the water that we used for rinsing the plates and use it to flash our toilets and water the plants. Even the water that we used in washing our clothes can be re-used for this purpose. We can even use it to wash our cars.
My colleagues said that I’m a wonder woman. This is because I can handle 28 people and I’m just new in the job. If only they knew how I felt. I’ve never felt so helpless and useless in my entire life. I missed a lot of deadlines, my work is filing up. I don’t know what to do next and how to do things. I feel like my training didn’t help much. And I feel so incompetent. When an issue arises, I don’t know what to do. It will take time for me to come up with ways to resolve it. I know that I only need a good way to manage my time but I just can’t seem to do it. Earlier I already felt like crying no I’m on the verge of crying because I have been fixing one of the metrics of the team for three days now and still to no avail. It’s like everytime I do something to it another problem arises. I really feel bad for the lost time. The time which I could have spent coaching my agents and teaching them on how to improve their performance goes to other tasks that can be handled in a short period of time. I know my SMEs are already worried because their stats have went down last month. They’re just not saying it but I know that they are worried. I have been there in their shoes. I was an agent before and I always worry about my stats and usually bad stats goes back to their supervisor. I really want to be a good supervisor to them, I do. Because they are putting their hearts into what they are doing, so as a manager I should be doing what I can to do my part. But I guess it will take time for me to be one. I just hope that it won’t be too late. Because I really like the job that I have now. This is something that I never thought that I’ll do a few months back but now that I am here, I want it so badly. But in this industry that I am in, time is always crucial. Everybody should step up even before an issue arises to remain on the top. This way the company will continue to be a competitive company not a thriving one.
A friend of mine told me that I should get a boyfriend now before it becomes too late. She said that if I don’t get a boyfriend now that I’m just a supervisor it will be hard to get one when I get an even higher position. And I was like, what made you think so? She said that it was because of the episode that she saw in Charmed where Pheobe was told by her manager to get a boyfriend if she doesn’t want to be like her manager who has a successful career but ended up lonely. And I was like, what made you think that I will be successful? She replied, well, you’re already on your way. You just got promoted and the next thing you’ll know you’re already on the next level.
Like haller! As if I’m not aware of the fact that it’s hard to get a boyfriend. I didn’t even had one when I was in school much more now that I’m a bit busy with my work. These people are driving me crazy! Even my supervisors are demanding that I get one. If only you could buy a boyfriend from the store I would have done it just to stop a lot of people from bugging me about it. But why get a boyfriend if he’ll just be a headache? I’d rather stay single if getting a boyfriend means staying in one spot and not be able to go to places and do things that I want to do anytime I want to? Anyway, who said that I’m aiming for a higher position? Remember… My dream life is to buy a house in the country side and become a cook for some diner somewhere in Europe? So I will get a boyfriend someday. Okay?!
In life, there will always be that one person who will make our lives miserable. Who will always find ways to make things hard for you to succeed. That no matter what you do, they make things hard for you just for the mere fact that they don’t like you. What if to get back to this person who makes our lives a living hell is to marry him or her? Because the mere sight of you can make his or her life a living hell. Would you marry that person? This person who makes your blood boil every time you see him or her for they remind you of what they have done to you? Hmmm…
