TEMPORARY OFFICE

So after SSC shut down its office end of October 2015, the remaining employees with term dates beyond Oct 31 are either holding office at Regus, BGC, or at Deca Tech in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.  I am one of those who are holding temporary office at Deca Tech.

This move is actually favorable to me.  I live close to Deca Tech (about 5 minutes drive) so that saves me gas and toll.  Also, hubby's office is within Deca Tech's vicinity so we usually use one car.  Other times, we have separate cars if I want to go home early.  Another great thing this move has given me is the chance to go home at lunch, eat at our own dining table, and the chance to check on my kulit Kinder.  Thus, I have the time to check on his homework and review him a little.  In terms of work, I have higher productivity here since it's closer to work, I am not tired from driving, and gives me longer working hours.  Plus the environment is different in a manufacturing plant.  Everybody seems to be on-the-go, so you somehow get the vibe (although I still do get my "sleepy hours").

Temporary but still a blessing.  I just hope my next employer will be closer to home.  Is it too bad to wish for a good paying job, respectable and higher position, and work location which is manageable?  I hope not.  I still hold to the words and claim that the Lord has great plans for me... I am so excited to know what they are, dear Lord.  Guide and help me to wait patiently and with joyful anticipation.  Amen..

JUNE 2015

June, please be good to me.

I think June 2015, or the whole year 2015, is a period of transition for me.

... Re-org at work resulting to my office's shutdown with an option to transfer to the company's plant.  I am not finding the company's plant an option.

... Helpers on vacation leave.  Not sure who's coming back.  June 1 and I don't have a helper.  School starts in a week.  So good luck naman.  I really have to adjust my sleeping schedule so I can cook breakfast, baon, lunch and dinner.  Good thing though our college kids will start school in August.  So they are a big help especially in looking after the little kids.  May be hard at first but I can do this.

... Career opportunities.  Starting to explore.  Let's see what the future holds. 

These transitions make me uneasy.  It's really moving me out of my comfort zone.  But I hold firmly to this:  IF GOD PUTS YOU TO IT, HE WILL PULL YOU THROUGH IT.

So June, please be good to me.  Great even.  

Holy Spirit and Mama Mary, guide me as I go through these transitions.

Amen.

REVELATION DAY

And so corporate office has revealed their plans for SSC.  

On March 12, 2015.  

So I guess it's bye bye time.  

Just a bit sentimental because I would have wanted to still work for CY.  I even thought about it as my retirement company.  And I can say that I am one of the founders of  the Internal Audit Group.  But right now, my personal plans are different from what CY has for me.  

On to the next chapter of my career life.  I just hope that the next one will allow me to fully perform my mommy and wife duties.  Praying and claiming for the next best thing for me and my family :)

OVERWHELMED

Yeah, it's that time of the year when it seems like all to-do's need to be completed at the same time.  I'm talking about work and the multiple deadlines.  Not complaining though.  Just sayin'.

Yes, I am overwhelmed with work.  I am overwhelmed with expectations.  I feel proud that others have high expectations but somehow they are misaligned.  I am overwhelmed with organizational movements.  

And it does not help that I get a little emotional about companies reducing their workforce and the thought that it would greatly impact not just one person's life but his/her whole family.

Times like this, I remind myself that these "incidents" are what you can call "good disturbers" in our life to remind us to:
- Be grateful always.
- Count our blessings.
- Do great in every task.  Love our work.
- Be on the top of our toes and two steps ahead of our boss.
- Be kind.
- Have faith.

At the end of the day, I still thank the Lord for His great providence to our family.  For the loving family that unconditionally supports me.  My family who I can trust about career concerns (super thanks to my hubby!).

Here are some quotes which I got from Pinterest.  I hope these will inspire you too.

Good vibes to all of us.
