Finally, some good news…
Just this afternoon, my boss visited me in my cubicle and handed me an envelope. I became very nervous… For a week now rumors has been spreading that the company would be reducing its workforce due to the current global financial crisis. But when I looked at my boss, she was smiling at me. Curiously, I took the envelope and opened it.
To my surprise, the letter turned out to be a promotion letter! I was reassigned to our company’s new website project and was appointed as a team leader. I was very happy.
I’m glad that despite of the crisis, our company still recognizes the efforts of its employees and does not stop to think of ways to inspire and motivate us.
Wish me all the luck in my new position, guys! Hope I can live up to my superiors’ and our company’s expectations.
I don’t know if I should still call 2009 a “HAPPY NEW YEAR”, well at least for me.
It’s the 31st of December and still I went to work, up to 8 pm! Imagine that! As far as I know this is the only part of the world that doesn’t give any importance in celebrating a coming new year. Our church locale here in Sharjah just had our year-end celebration socializing, I was supposed to be a part of a chorale competition, and because I stayed late at work and there were no taxis to be found, I wasn’t able to make it. I reached our flat at 11, just 1 hour to go before the new year.
The worst part of it was I was all alone in our flat when I arrived. As we all get accustomed in the Philippines, new year celebrations are a family gathering. I am used to having all my loved ones with me during this moment, but now I’m all alone. Now tell me, is there any reason to be happy?
