Yes, I have this “kilig” feeling lately. But it’s not because of some guy. I’m feeling this excitement because of work itself.
Things had been really good at work lately especially in terms of performance. Being where I am right now made me really grateful and glad.
One of my goals/part of to-do list is having not just good but great scorecards. Fortunately, things are great with my metrics. In fact, when the January scorecards were generated, I was number one in the stack ranking for the month. It was a delightful surprise. I hope that this good performance continues throughout the rest of the year.
I’ve also met people at work who inspired me regarding some other aspect of my life.
Kring is a fellow agent. She is currently taking a post-baccalaureate degree at UST. I was inspired by her diligence to go to work and at the same time study. I’m actually thankful to her because she discussed with me options on universities that offer distance learning and graduate studies. I really would like to study again, but being the breadwinner of my family, I just can’t stop working. But when I saw how Kring was doing, I realized that I might be able to do it as well. But I won’t be able to do it this year. Further studies are on the latter parts of my Plans A and B (and C and so and so forth, up to whatever letter I need to come up to). But still, at least I have been able to scout for universities and I already have an early favorite.
Then there’s Bunny. She’s one of the most “makulit” agents. Bunny inspired me in terms of serving, sharing and helping other people. As a way of showing social responsibility, our company has a tie up with a charitable institution and every month an outreach program/event is held. This month, it’s our LOB’s turn to host the event. We’ll be holding an outreach program on the 28th. Only a few had volunteered, and Bunny wasn’t just a volunteer but is actually organizing the event. What really struck me is that the 28th is actually her wedding day. Instead of just resting or fussing over her wedding, she’ll be assisting in the feeding program and will be sharing her blessings to less fortunate children. All I can say is wow. At first, I had second thoughts in joining the event because it’s in Cavite and we have to leave early on a Saturday morning and we’ll be coming from a team building the night before, but after realizing what Bunny will be doing (rush to her wedding after the outreach), I signed up and volunteered. (Fortunately, our team building happened earlier than planned. We had it last Wednesday. Though we may still do something on the 27th.)
What I’m feeling about work right now and how people there are touching other aspects of my life is just amazing. ^_^
