Today, I woke up, looked at my
cellphone time, its 5:30 and felt confused if its PM or AM. National Holiday
ngayon ng UAE, in short alang pasok (no
work). So –NO rush in the bathroom,
NO akbar driver or company bus, NO 1hour long drive going to Mussafah,
NO J143 urgent-urgent materials-urgent meeting-urgent crane-urgent invoice-urgent
-lunch! Al Hamdulilla!
Just finish reading a book about
NLP, very interesting!
Also finished the laundry, taken
my big breakfast (yakisoba+boogles+rice meal), disposed the trash, organized my
bedroom-este-bedspace, read the gulfnews, broken my lamp, broken my slippers,
used my new slippers, charged my CP, updated my 2009 to-do-list, daydream, listened to my fav songs. Now, sitting here
thinking what to do next, where to go and when to move :>
I missed my
work and my colleagues…
I learned
priceless lessons from people I work with;
Example-
- I learned from my first boss to look straight in the eyes when talking to big (important) men and never-ever feel inferior, all men are just men (no superman exists!).
- My second boss taught me that “there’s no ‘friends’ in business”, treat everyone alike, in the end we need profit not sympathy.
- My third boss thought me that we need to note the good things from people, so that when we remember them, we’ll recall what’s good about them (no matter how cruel they are).
I also learned:
