MASERATI REUNITED

2009 was a great year for Team MASERATI. Most of my oldies but goodies have transitioned to different teams... Business Systems, Fulfillment Coordination and ASEAN to be specific. In February of this year, another rep joined the Sales Analyst Team. In the same year, I have welcomed new reps as well... newbies but goodies I may say. 

As a supervisor, I do not take credit for everything that they have accomplished. I am just happy to have been part of their journey to achieve their well deserved promotions. It has been months since the last time I was able to spend time with all of them. A reunion team building was a brilliant idea to get people together and just have a good time. 

After a series of team meetings the date was set. Everything was taken cared of  we were just waiting for the big day. It was a celebration of people who did not only become a part of my team but my family. As a tradition, we had a lot of food..booze and whole lot of FUN! 

I am looking forward to the next team gathering... tentative date: 050110!

drought

drought.. it's been another month and still I can't seem to find the inspiration to write. Oh well.. I'm not about to push myself and write nonsense..but then again, it's worth a try. 

Procrastination. Defined as the act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or deferring an action to a later time. I am guilty of this offense. I have been procrastinating (sort of..) not only with writing my blogs but a couple of other "tasks". I feel bad really. It's not something that I am proud of but letting out the reason why I procrastinate might help. 

Have you ever been frustrated with things or people around you? I HAVE. 

I know it's not healthy to let my frustration get the better of me but hey I am just human. The first quarter of 2010 proved to me that really.. EL NINO is here. There seemed to be a shortage of inspiration. Ideas remained ideas and were never put to good use. Friendships suddenly turned bland and soon lost its once sweet taste. All forms of Betrayal.. Lies.. Deceit..like a holocaust ruined what was once a happy place. 

We work to pay for dues but we build relationships to live and not just merely exist. In over a year's time, I have built great friendships and lasting professional relationships. It is however sad that not everyone will end up as a friend. Worse, some would be just another person you see everyday. I am not being dramatic or exaggerated about this but these things matter.. it may be insignificant to others but not to me. 

My environment and emotional state plays a big role on how I go through my daily routine..err responsibilities..whatever you want to call it. Bottom line is.. it's a big chunk of how I live my life. I  do not blame anyone but myself for feeling frustrated and demotivated. I need to leave the negativity behind. 

Q2 of 2010 will be the start of my productivity. No more procrastination. It will end the drought. 

Hakunah Matata my friends!

2010 posts..

I have been out of commission for the past 5 months. Writer's block as you may call it. Not that there are no blog worthy occasions in my life.. it's just a plain and simple case of inspiration loss. The last quarter of 2009 was in fact very eventful. If I tried to scribble it into posts.. I may have written more than a dozen. But I opted not to. 

It's the 1st day of March. Almost the end of the 1st quarter of 2010. It's time to let out my emotions. The suppressed anger... the exhilarating feeling of welcoming new people in my life and the pain of saying goodbye to a few. 

I am back.. and this time I will keep a promise to write my thoughts..
