Backlog and Anxiety

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.
