Come

The funny thing with destiny is that sometimes it is unexpectedly sweet. Things may come at the last minute, almost all the time. What really separates the planned from the moments of total shock can usually be a simple gesture, a single word, or perhaps just one person who blew our socks off.

It is inevitable. Sooner or later I have to give in. I have given in. I have made up my mind. There is no more turning back. I am prepared to abandon the routine, throw away the conventional and embrace spontaneity.

Is this my destiny? I know not what. It is not a walk into the unknown, rather, a step towards a brand new scenario of potential bliss.

I am coming for you.

Pivot to Joy

It seems like forever when things used to go to a better setting. There are moments when you seem to be enveloped by too much pressure and damage but you can't help but smile from ear to ear - ignoring the disconcerting aura. A day like that would never come even in the slightest semblance. Not this day.

Finally after a long period of destitution and enclosure, brightness and anticipation seem to render the devoid defeated. Observingly, the rays of light get absorbed and a sheer glow of positivity is emblazoned. Needless to say, sparks of crossing over and shapes of real feelings of rapture begin to form and come to life.

I have never been this restlessly happy and profusely excited in a long time.

Today is simply pivotal.

Combating Work

Crap-tastic Schedule
I wasn't that most delighted to see the team's new schedule. Unsuprisingly, all of my agents will be in shifts that won't have hazard pay. What's new? We're still at the bottom of the Stack Rank so asking for even a little is preposterous. Well, I have learned not to complain and place blame but this time I'd like to focus my energies somewhere else.

As most of you don't know yet, I've been treading some huge potholes lately. It's not really important to discuss them one by one but needless to say these circumstances are continuously depleting my energy. People seem to have a way of rubbing it to my face. From my standpoint, I've always believed in diplomatic conversations and straight up compromise but right now, I am being abused. So, if that didn't work, the only thing to do is to enforce. They will not make fun of me this way. The gloves are coming off. From now it's just gonna be 'Do Good!' or 'Good-bye!'

Planning the Cure
I guess I couldn't count out the better things the schedule is gonna bring me and to my team. Yes, I will be on the 'petiks' shift again! The afternoon shift is so idle that I can think of so many projects for my team. It may not be very productive of a schedule but I know we will be focusing more on the other metrics, or else!

Also, the long-awaited Team Building will finally materialize. Most of us have blocked days-off so this will happen. I am in the planning stages on how to make this worth every moment so I wanna make it work.

Looking Forward
The last 4 months have been total chaos when it comes to life at the office. But I'm the kind of person who's very passionate about his work. Elvin said that I'm not that awful as a boss it's just that, my people are unruly. He may be right. Sometimes, they don't have that strain of decency in them. I became a supervisor for a reason; and that is: the kind of professionalism and respect for my job and co-workers than any of my problem agents will ever have. So, I am just gonna treat them like they are. How is it so hard? All I ask of them is to go to work and do their job well...and use their sense of guilt.
