and then there's Order

Finally I can breathe. Just for a while then I will have to throw myself back inside the war zone. Whew! What a life I have now. Work is running on fifth gear. Family is on fourth. Community life is just cruising as well as with friends...

Praise God! Last Sunday mass, He instructed me very well. To make sure that I won't focus too much on what's happening in my work. I can exhaust my energy but my heart and soul shouldn't be compromised. I was afraid then that I might forget Him in the process and so I asked for His constant presence especially these days.

My boss' anger because of our group's performance was heard in all corners of the world. Yeah, I was intimidated. But again, I prayed for God's presence. I agree that I must hear my boss' sentiments and everything. No problem with that but I must keep my composure and be professional and objective. By the way, my boss was talking to the whole group not just me though I heard my name several times. I can't defend myself at that time. First, we were in front of the whole team and it wasn't wise for me to go against a mighty wind and in the process it would look like him vs me. I might just cause a bigger problem from myself. If the boss is angry, let him be. It is pure emotion and any rationalization won't be considered. Second, there was really no excuse on my part and I might also just embarass myself. He is a lawyer. So I kept quiet and just prayed.

Miracle 1. After a few minutes, he calmed down and explained that he was talking like that because of what happened and not because of the people (pooofff!!: ) ). Second, we shouldn't feel intimidated! (Im sure his angel whisphered something to him).

Miracle 2. I was redeemed by my former boss!!! Ha! Without me saying something, the truth came out. Handling our own group wasn't easy. Like before there was just the two of us and it was really chaos. In spite of that, I struggled to perform my function and even beyond to make sure that we address our 300 plus telco partners plus customer complaints, plus internal requirements. I also got angry because it seemed to our boss that I wasn't doing anything.
Anyway, praise God. God was the one who made the move. Can you imagine there are now like 7 of us in the team right and there are still a lot of things to do. So just imagine the tons of work I had to cope with before.

I am happy that something is happening in our group. At least there's focus now and there's leadership.

Time's out. I have to wear another hat (a helmet) and go back.
