Wednesday, April 19, 2006 Exhausted. 5 missed calls in the morning from the new administrator and I immediately scrambled down to Ubi to handle her problems. It doesn't help that I got to postpone my 11.30am training because of this. Lunch was quick as I got to hurry back office to prepare materials for the postponed 3.30pm session, which to my utmost surprise, lasted 2 long hours. I could literally feel the seconds ticking by as my anxiety grew. Training sessions usually do not last more than an hour and I had to rush to Alexandra after that for 2 separate meetings consecutively. The surge of haste today was so unexpected and to add to my urgency, I only got to know at 6.30pm that I have 2 training sessions tomorrow morning! I have no notes. No presentation slides. No nothing. But I can't say no to tomorrow's sessions. Simply because this is my only chance to brief the sales teams before launching the 2 new initiatives. The next chance I have with them will probably be 2 weeks time and by then it will be too late. I was a little upset when my manager actually told me off for setting up these 2 training sessions at the eleventh hour. No one enjoys last minute rush and neither do I. It is not very fair of him to say that I should not have agreed to such rushed sessions, especially when he knows that this is the only chance I have. Ideally, we all want things to please our flow but unfortunately, life isn't always a bed of roses. We got to adapt when situations change. Yes, I do know that I am stretching myself really far by adhering to such last minute arrangement. However, if this is a requirement for me to ensure a successful launch, I am willing to go through this crazy realm. If I have to do it, I will. Challenges are never easy and I will like to face challenges outright than to avoid them. Anyway, as I was pressing for time, I had to forgo swimming today to come up with tomorrow's training materials. Finally did up the slides at about 11pm and headed straight home. I was too weary to decide how I wish to present tomorrow. But I know, that after a good sleep, I will be all fresh in the morning to face new turbulences again. Persistency is the key. I will continue to strive for the best in whatever I do. This is a promise to myself and my greatest challenge is to constantly give my best shot. And yes, I gonna face new challenges everyday on a bright note! ![]() Labels: Work |
