Thank God it's Friday! I'm so glad it's the weekend already. This week totally sucked - major time for me at work. I can finally take some much needed break from work, get some much needed sleep and get my mind in gear. It seems like it hasn't hit me just yet that I am now working. Mistakes on the job are truly a no-no. There's no excuse - not even the I'm only human reasoning is acceptable. Mistakes can cost us money - a lot of it and that's not good especially when it's my fault. I won't have that on my shoulders. No siree. So this weekend, I'm going to make the best of it and come Monday, I'll be ready and raring to go. But right now, all I can say is "Thank God it's Friday!"

I'm so frustrated with my work performance. Damn me. I can't seem to get things done right. Daily reports are only 1/8 of my work load and I can't seem to get it done correctly. *Screams at the top of her lungs*

I'm on my third week at work. I haven't been excelling as I wanted to. I've had mistakes that made me flinch everytime my superiors call me on it. I don't want to be reprimanded any more. In Ms. Anna's words "One mistake: Ok. Two mistakes: I can handle. Three: No. Something's wrong with you if that's the case."She was talking about committing the same mistakes over and over again and I am guilty. I haven't been very careful with my work. When my immediate superiors oriented me, they told me to always: 1) Cover my ass 2) Don't ASSUME because when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. and 3) Be Obsessive-Compulsive. I thought they were exaggerating when they said the third one but I'm finding out really fast that to be one is the only way I would save my ass from getting terminated.

I'm freeloader no more! One of the companies I had applied with before has come through and has given me a job. I'm hired people! I'm now a PR practitioner at Strategic Edge Inc. Yay! I'm so happy really. It's a relief to be working for a company that is in line with my degree. Sure sure call centers are nice - they are the ones who are more than willing to give us fresh grads a break and a nice compensation for that matter - but it is even better to be working in the industry in line with one's course.I mean isn't that what we all spend our four years or so in College for? So there. I'm happy I'm hired. I've been at Strategic Edge for four days now as an Account Executive. And you know what? It really is a whole new and different ball game compared to College.

Right now, I'm still learning the ropes and feeling my way through the company but give me time and I'll be able to work my way there. Anyhow, any advice from you, fellow bloggers who are already part of the corporate world? This girl would sure love to hear some tips as to how to survive my first job. I like it you see. I'd like to stay there even after six months.

Yesterday I finally got the chance to be with my high school friends again. There we were yesterday, all four of us present and accounted for: Bonsch, Berri, Ryan and I. It's been so long since we last gathered together until yesterday. What I felt inside was a mixed feeling of happiness and sadness. I was happy that we were all together again with the addition of my boyfriend, Alex and my other friend, Mirriam but the occassion that brought us together saddened me because it was Berri's father's funeral. He died the night before yesterday due to lung cancer. He was young at 47 years of age.

We were there to comfort our friend in need and it's truly nice to think that despite the years that had passed by, despite the many changes we have gone through, one thing has remained: our friendship. Next time we meet, I wonder what the occassion will be?
