boy, am i so stressed out!!! this work is overly consuming me.... darn it!

i'm tired of researching! i'm tired of filtering my client list! i'm tired of client issues - especially, issues that i'm not supposed to handle! i'm tired of checking my clients' edi (electronic data interchage) mailbox traffic! i'm tired of g-international (formerly ibm, which our company acquired) clients assigned to me! i'm tired of introducing myself to clients! i'm tired of leaving voicemail! i'm tired of generating contracts! i'm tired of making invoice comparison! i'm tired of sending proposals! i'm tired of client accounts! im tired of my quota! and most of all, i'm tired of my alt+tab, ctrl+f, ctrl+c, ctrl+x, ctrl+v, ctrl+z and mouse combo!

gosh, my cheek bones are showing again....*

* editor's note: the first sign when i'm losing weight

gosh! i've been so busy for the past couple of weeks, working for the challenges that our new manager has given us. she's going to treat us dinner at Outback if we reach 105% performance level at the end of this month. of course, i don't care about this since i could eat there anytime. and so i've been working my ass off to reach 130% performance level for a 5k rustan's gift check. shopping!!! happy!!! i'm already at 127% now so i'm just 3% away from my target. we're only half-way through the month so i'd obviously get the most coveted gift check. ganda! (ricky reyes twang)

unfortunately, meeting 130% performance level does not end it all. i have a $200k backlog from the second quarter of this year since i didn't work at all during that period. so i still have to work hard for this deficit. and if i make up for the deficit by the end of this quarter, i'd be getting a 13k rustan's gift check. panalo! but then again, i think it's impossible to make up for that amount of deficit with such a short span of time. isang makabagbag-damdaming "goodluck!" na lang for me.

and so, i have to end this entry now and go back to work and be productive.

oh by the way, i'm not eyeing for cayman islands anymore. with my performace this year, i don't think i'll qualify for the president's club anymore. sigh!

*disclaimer - we are going out later to drink a few bottles of beer with our manager. so much for my work mode.

this is inspired by chrissy's august 2 blog entry. shempre, being the inggitera that i am, i had to try this. what an ego booster?!?! hehehe!
click this....

and if i were a girl.... okay na rin....

panalo!

and so they say, "time flies so fast...." indeed! believe it or not, it's my first anniversary today, or should i say tonight, here at work. whew! what a feat!

last july was one hell of a time. i've been so stumped with work, now that i already have a manager here in manila. she just started last month and of course, i had (and still have) to be in my best princess diana form so as to get onto her good side (kiss-ass! hehehe!). moreover, our two teammates in maryland moved to different departments so there are only three of us left who handle smb (small and medium businesses) accounts. we've been so busy that i hadn't had the chance to download and watch new movies or tv series. i don't even have the time to surf or chat anymore. wait, what am i doing now?!?! okay, okay! my leisure time here at work has been cut down to an average of 4 hours. hehehe! gosh! i really am working now - for a change.... hehehe!
