5/10/11

This is the longest (so far)

Today, Tuesday, May 10, 2011 is the schedule for the company's monthly Business Review (BR). The last time we had our BR, which was last month made me think that was my longest meeting.


Today? We started at around 9am, and ended, almost 10pm. WOW!!! Well, it was really boring and draining, but then we have to stay and end it. Alas! It ended around 8pm, but there were some of the people who were requested to stay for further discussion - and that was the best part.


Ms. Aimi, one of the Board of Directors (BOD), who was also the President of SDNI, tho company I'm currently affiliated with, requested me and together with the other new people - Mr. Aben (Sales Team Leader), Karl (Human Resource) and Lester (Marketing staff).


We had discussion as to how to improve and really have a makeover for Spruce. It was a very productive night, all of us were able to voice out our ideas and concerns. And we were like setting the road for Spruce for the next few years. This was the best part since I (we) really felt that our ideas are really valued and that they're like seeing potentials on us. Well, it was really flattering. Also, it would pressure us to really do our jobs well. The fact that my (our) ideas are being valued, and I (we) am valued makes me (us) feel good. It really gave us energy to spend time after the meeting and to talk more.


I had a fun night. I ate at SIAM which serves Thai cuisines - their food really tastes good! it's really a value for money. Yeah it's somehow expensive, but then SULIT kaau. The service, the food and the ambience - PAYTS KAAU!


I'm looking forward of walking our plans and eventually reaching our goals. Also looking forward to travel and for my new company phone. ehehe! And also, more shot session with my co.employees. I really wanna spend time with them and get to know them better, after all, i'll be working with them in the long run.

This is almost is it

The week is about to end, and damn! It was heavy. I am now formally functioning according to my job description.

It’s not easy staring at your laptop, facing an excel sheet, opening a lot of excel files of different functions with different data in it.

As a remedy, I surf youtube, and search for good animations.

Going back to my work, it’s hard and very challenging, yet I still manage to enjoy. I like my job. I have to learn the system and I have to learn it quick. The BOD’s expecting much on me. I should cope and adjust myself to the company’s standards.

Uuuhh…. I also had a chance to have a shot session with Althea (Spruce LKK Store Unit Leader), Melody (Sales Associate), and Karl (Human Resource). Hahaha! It was not the best but definitely memorable. I hope more shot session to come with my co-employees.

I am very much excited to be travelling to visit the 7 retailers we have within Mindanao. I’m also looking forward to visiting Spruce Valencia and Puma Cebu.

More to learn, more to see, more to experience.
