Sharing My Blessings

A couple of days ago a distraught female came to my office looking for someone who could donate blood.

Her husband needs type A blood and we have the same type.

I looked at her worried face and I decided right there and then that I'll donate my blood.

my colleagues took a picture of me during extraction...

After 20 minutes I'm done. I went back to my office and resumed work.

Benefits of Donating 

• It feels great to donate!
• You get free juice or bottled water and crackers (I chose bottled water because I'm on strict diet) 
• It's something you can spare – most people have blood to spare... yet, there is still not enough to go around.
• You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed – most people don't think they'll ever need blood, but many do.
• You will be someone's hero – in fact, you could help save more than one life with just one donation.

Werq!

So far the toxicity level of my job is at its peak.

Last Monday an emergency meeting was held because the admin wants to change our management system. As part of middle management I was tasked to compile a list of all our stocks and services. I also need to review our price list and compare them to our nearby competitors. 

Person's with disability and senior citizen discount is killing our business.

Most of my staff are in retreat for 4 weeks.

I'm multitasking.

Acting as a secretary, a supervisor and a therapist. I'm at my wits end.

Yesterday I talked to one of my staff about his performance. Basically, I told him that he sucks and he needs to pack his things and find another job. Sad story and water works starts. But I made up my mind and my decision is final.

My staff evaluated him a few weeks ago and they want him to have a second chance. I gave him a second chance but he failed. The last 3 weeks are filled with complaints and incident reports. I reached my limit, I need to disinfect my department of incompetent fools.

We need more manpower but nobody is applying for the job due to disproportionate salary and job description. Newly grad prefer to work in call center than to practice their profession.  

Earlier today, my patience snapped due to my very tardy secretary! Working hour is 7:30 and she came to work at 10:30. My gulay! She's been coming late for eons and I talked to her a million times but still I can't fire her because of the "Union".

I'm supposed to be a supervisor but most of the time I'm the secretary and it sucks!

Patience is definitely not my virtue.
