Pep Talk

First thing this morning the Boss called for a meeting. Apparently I was quite surprised that I'm included in this meeting. Usually it's just them.

THEM = all minus me.

And to be honest, it made me nervous. I thought the Boss will scold me for not doing my job well, or not doing my job at all. Heehee..guilty conscience, here I go again.

Turns out it isn't really about me. It's about the whole group. It started with a single question tossed around for everyone to answer.

"Aside from staying at home, what's your next activity to relax yourself?"

And I'm not prepared. Christine volunteered an answer for me, hanging out at Powerbooks. Ok, whatever. I don't usually hang out there on a weekend. I'd rather stay at home, you know. But what else can I say?

Then he proceeded on telling us how the retail industry has a positive response to the global recession. That we have made a good foundation as a group. All have performed their functions satisfactorily, that we're hitting a feasible target. And in time, we'll all realize and see our contributions once we open our projects this coming November and December. He summarized all the things we've accomplished since we began. And shared to us all the projects that we'll look forward to the following year. See? I've really been listening.

I think he did this just so we'll keep at par to the division's, and the company's, objectives. And maybe, to trigger our enthusiasm in the upcoming projects. That hey, we're now on the next phase of the process, soon we'll already see the fruits of our labor.

Hmm..gets me thinking. Am I as excited as they all are for the upcoming opening? I guess not. I don't know..

Errr..guess should stop this hypocrisy. Of course I'm excited. I guess, I SHOULD be excited. I mean, who shouldn't be? I'm part of a fast-growing company, owned by one of the biggest business conglomerate in the country. I'm operating under probably the most exciting development of all the company's projects. Haler! we're building malls! I have an ok Boss (though I really hate his air of aristocracy, grrr!), get along with everyone in my department. I'm part of this foundation, one of the pioneers. I have every reason to be proud, right?

Right! So please, please be happy with your work na!!!!
