The hot seat

Am on my second month is the hot seat, well maybe nowadays its not as hot as it was a couple of weeks back. When i heard that my boss had resigned i was shattered, saddened. I hear some people whining about their bosses and how waking up to go to work is not their favorite cup but mine has always been a different story.

He inspired me and made me aim for more, with a very interesting way of critising, harshly and politely at the same time. Success was mine to celebrate and failure was also mine to chew on.

I am on my own now, with a sticker on my desk that says 'think big, be ambitious, challenge yourself but be realistic' he liked to use those word when communicating to me. That and other other lessons that i have learnt is where i draw my strength and spirit to go on from. Though i know that soon i will have to redefine my north.

Life is all about symmetry, there is always two sides to a coin, a loss to us meant a gain somewhere else but also an opportunity for us to grow. I got rid of my old chair and now (before it gets a new occupant, if at all it will) am swinging on a task chair, sometime back i was looking at a catalogue with their price and i was like ahhh no way will i be able to justify my need for one ....... and boy my back has never felt better :).I can turn on my speakers on without being a noise nuisance to anyone, i hope you are getting my drift!

It always comes back, press down shaken together and running over. Doing and giving it your all. Making the boss feel good, hey who doesn't like to be pampered once in a while. Though mine was entirely genuine a goodbye card, goodbye message that had very kind words - which were all true and of course the blessing of the Lord earned me some money that i really needed for going back to school. Just when i had almost given up and kaboom, the cheque is clearing.

The Lord's timing is always perfect. Give with a cheerful heart. Give it your best when you have the opportunity. Become the best that you can.
