So we're waiting... for a text message, for an announcement, for a notice, for something, anything. It's taking so darn long, and my motivation to work has gone. My heart goes out to those who got what they don't plan on getting as well as to those who don't deserve to be terminated.
I have stopped being anxious, after all, I have cast my burdens to Him, but I can't help but feel sad. It's a chapter, a long one, that is starting to end. Pretty soon, a new chapter shall begin, with new characters, maybe some comebacks, and of course the consistent few.
Keep in touch, try not to forget, cherish the memories, and strive to make new ones. I love you, guys! I'm going to miss us.
This was something I was supposed to post a few weeks back, but didn't get to finish:
August 7, 2013
I
know it used to take me longer than this to realize I had a blog to
return to and to post something again, but recently I've been motivated more and
more to keep memories --tons and tons of them, thus the earlier than usual realization. I guess it also helps
that my boyfriend is ever so supportive and is actually trying to learn
to do smiling shots, haha. (Honey, I do love you so much for it. ^_^)
Anyway,
since my last post, I've been busy busy busy with work. I am not yet "at
peace" with the new job description I am immediately being transitioned
immersed into, but I guess I'm coping... which reminds me right at this
moment that I need to file OB/OT for the weekend and late night work I
recently had to do. Time out, be back in a jiff.
Ok, after
mandatory interruptions (this is a workplace after all, and I really am
supposed to work), I would like to continue expressing my "doubts" on
the new team that I have been a part of the past month. The tasks are
piled on top of the existing ones so stress levels are maxing sky high.
I have decided not to continue detailing the "doubts" I mentioned, because after all, every little thing with regard to our current work is in doubt. Well, it's been a crazy 1 1/2 months and things are now getting crazier. I have been handling work for 3 teams due to the transitions happening in the company. Tomorrow is judgment day, on which we, the hardworking employees of the company, are finally going to be sorted to either a "slotter" or a "leaver" (off topic: I swear, someone ought to be sued for those terms). The leavers will be offered the corresponding package then allowed back on September 4&5 only to get their stuff. The slotters will be rehired starting as a regular employee... day 1. It's yet another roller coaster of emotions as we have no idea on what criteria they based the sorting on, nor do we know who "they" are. Off the top of my head, I am particularly nervous to Marc's and my employment status. As if that wasn't enough, I am much concerned especially for friends/colleagues with whom I have been working with for almost 7 years. I haven't started considering the process of actually transitioning on a new role (slotter or leaver).
Scary as hell. Yet another time to put my faith on the Lord.
"...For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."
- Jeremiah 29:11-13
God Bless us.
I have a question: Seriously, when did giving jewelry as gifts become obsolete? You're going to give that special loved one something expensive anyway, right? So what's wrong with a few simple but elegant choice pieces? Granted you're not supposed to do this all the time, and the actual choice of jewelry should be thoroughly thought of, i.e. do not under any circumstance give rings without a promise attached. Other than some no-nos, what's stopping people?
