evaluation

I just had a meaningful performance evaluation with my executive manager (let’s call him Mr. M) and you know what? In my 12 years experience working for different managers sa kanya lang ako nakaranas na magkaroon ng productive performance evaluation. Actually he is not my line manager but the manager of the managers. He’s not supposed to be conducting my performance evaluation but since my section doesn’t have a manager at the moment, I report directly to him. We’ve only been working together for two weeks but I can already say that he is a good man, a godly man even.

Yesterday, when we had our section’s Christmas lunch, magkatabi sa upuan si Mr. M at si Bill. Yes, my section still invited Bill kahit matagal na syang wala dito. Kanun ka-“loved” ang mokong! And since Bill is the proverbial chatty person, kung anu-ano tuloy ang nadiskubre nya tungkol kay Mr. M. Chatty Bill relayed to me (yes, we still talk) that Mr. M went on a mission trip to Africa and that he’s active in church. No wonder he behaves the way he does.
I'm priveledge to have a Christian boss.

how time flies

It’s been a month since I last saw Bill. I can’t believe how time flies. One whole month. One whole month. That’s equivalent to 43,200 minutes, 720 hours, 30 days or 4 weeks.

I can’t say that I have already recovered because the truth is I have not. I’m still going through an emotional rollercoaster but I know that time will come when everything will be OK.
