Me no like shocking news
Summer yah. Did you even know I was feeling so lousy yesterday? I was desperate to tell someone yesterday upon receiving the news but bestie's phone was off probably due to her not charging it. My dear partner literally had to tolerate my whinings for the day. But she was very supportive and offered to help me, I am so touched. Considering that I did the test above, yes I do feel like life has been rather great for me this year. Work life good and rather settled, of course the usual hecticness at work is normal. I also made a really good decision to sign up for gym classes. I really enjoyed it and I find it a good way to let out stress. At the same time, I lose weight, get healthier and interact with good looking / funny instructors / trainers . What's not to like? Even the momentum in business is picking up. I am determined to produce a series of Eagles this year and we as a team have made some pretty strong decisions. And then came the news. I was in total shock yesterday in the Boss 2 office when he told me about the in service training. TOTAL SHOCK not only because I did not expect it, it was also so last minute. Imagine the first class starts this month! Last week of the June holidays. In a nutshell, the bosses of bosses decided to send me for training in ASD. While I think it is great, I still think it would be best to send me to a more related-to-what-I-am-doing course/training instead of this. What I am most unhappy about is the long hours of training. Basically I will be down for training from 1 pm - 7 pm, thrice a week for term 3 and 9 am - 6 pm, 2 full days in term 4. Such long hours! Of course what comes together with this package are assignments, tests, readings etc. For some reason Boss 2 thinks that I was selected to go for this because it was stated in the email: We are happy to inform you that we have selected your school's ***** , Ms **** who has completed two years of trained service with consistently good performance to attend a six-month in-service training at the Autism Resource Centre (ARC) in late June 09. So basically what comes with good performance is more work! My gym classes and STP appointments are greatly affected. My students seeing me in the afternoon especially will also be greatly affected. With this, it means that I have no choice but to release a lot of students and hand them all over the LF. With this too, I will miss many gym classes and STP appoinments will have to shift to weekends or even late night. You know what this means? I will be sooooooo busy again like a student. I also predict that I will not have any time for myself and I may lose the balance in life that I currently have now. This, I do not like. I am seriously considering of talking to my boss to see if its possible to refuse this training. I am also glad that I talked to Margaret because she helps me to clarify my thinking. Bottom line, the decision is still up to me. Seeing so many eagles, double eagles and ultimate eagles last night simply made it even more painful for me to just sit there. Its about time to rise for some eagles from my team and even for myself to achieve double eagle on my goal date. I definitely need all the time, focus, and energy to make this happen. And if refusing the training disqualify me for any promotion they have in mind for the futur etc, so be it. Success is a ladder you need to climb, its not an elevator where you can just enter and you will arrive at your destination. - Anita (Ultimate Eagle speech) Everything is falling into places, everything that happens now is in more ways than one, going to help me ultimately to reach my goals, InsyaAllah. 2 Eagle legs August 2009 |
