oops!i know i haven been updating.Sorry!been bz,lazy and moodless to update.heh
so anyways....last Tuesday, my virgin 5 star awards was held. 5 star is a quarterly event to recognise employees who have shown wonderful attitude at work with a great personality.anyway,it's difficult explaining what exactly it is and how this whole thing works.
But at the end of the whole process, this event is held like some star search award.
I was really scared and nervous days before the event,since it's my very 1st and i didn't know what to expect. Plus, i just felt like things weren't properly planned and i wasn't prepared for it to go smoothly.
On tt day itself, i had this nagging feeling that something was going to happen. and when this feeling comes, i know i shld just trust my instincts.
And everything was going smoothly..watever outstanding tasks i had on tt day, i was on track and everything seemed fine....until....i realised....i had almost JUMPED a process and the director of purchasing ALMOST didn't allow my plagues to enter.
Imagine how scared i was. The company was prepared to deliver them over,but w/o the PO,they cldn't just send it here liddat.
After some tough times,and all tt,my boss went down to speak to her on my behalf and she explained bout how the past few times i did kinda screwed up but we promised tt all these wun happen again.So thankfully,we managed to still get everything in order as per schedule.
And at the end of the whole event, not only was my director pleased with my work,my whole department was truly proud and happy. Because apparently the last guy was nv on schedule and cld still act cool, but it's the whole team who has to scramble,plan and help him out.So i had saved em alot alot of worrying and heart atacks and it was the first time they cld even sit down to have their meals during the event.
This is what my director said when we had our own mini celebration:
"Although I know this is Joanna's first virgin 5 Star event, I purposely sat back and didn't interven much because I wanted to see how she would handle the whole thing, and knowing tt she had a great adviser to guide her, i was also confident that she would be able manage this whole event. Usually, I'll be checking up alot of the progress and the timings during the event, but this time, I wanted to see how Joanna would handle the situation. And when i asked her about the decorations and table settings, I also usually wld ask to see a mock up before the event,but this time,after i asked her what her decor wld be, I trusted that everything will turn out as described. I am truly pleased and joanna's always so smily despite the circumstances"
then this other adviser added in:
"ya..even in hectic circumstances, this girl is so calm and cool. and the way to check things during hectic times, you just gotta ask her questions. Plus when (Director) was not here yet, she was like "where is (Director)?She is supposed to be here" and den when the GM was not here yet,she PERSONALLY went to pick up the GM. THis girl has alot of initiative and responsibility"
imagine tt sense of pride,satisfaction and happiness tt evening!i really cldn't stop smiling and it was then that I realised...I have FOUND where I belong.
I received many first class cards after the event,and truly,it has been a great achievement for me! Thank God for the favour.really.
