It was time I did something. I was getting quite fed up of how things were run in the department. My AM wasn't aware I hadn't gotten my new job description ever since I took on the new role. Our former boss didn't even fully inform her of the jobs and projects I had been working on.
With
My losing weight must've been caused greatly by all these. Well, perhaps my extra curricular activities have something to do with that too! But I thought, with appraisal coming up and the AM being promoted, it would be a good time to bring up all these. I wouldn't want to be accused of not performing well when I could have focused and excel in some rather than spread myself thin and give a lacklustre performance.
This kept me up the previous night. I got up and decided to capture my thoughts and put them on paper. I would've forgotten what I wanted to say if I allowed them to run free. Felt better after writing, but still couldn't sleep.
The AM was kept busy by the division chief the whole day, whatwith his barking and colourful language. A wicked sense of humour was all we had to keep us insane.
Looking at my AM and her harried self, I was worried that she might not be in the right frame of mind to listen to me. I didn't want to give her the impression that I was shirking from my responsibilities. All I wanted to do was to enlighten her the full measure of my jobs and to let her see that if I was not allowed to focus, the miscellaneous would overwhelm me at the expense of my core areas of responsibilities. Don't get me wrong, I'm all out for added responsibility and a better looking resume, but more filing, faxing, stock keeping, and photostating?
So I prayed and prayed. And into her room I went, with my
And that "trial and error" job which I mentioned? She took that out as well. At that moment, even with the dark skies and rain threatening to pour down, it seemed as if God struck His hand through the clouds and sent a ray of sunshine down on me. I could almost hear angels singing "Ha….llelujah, hallelujah, hallellujah!" God came through for me again. The year might have started off rough, but I shouldn't allow myself to think that that would set the precedent for things to come.
