Today's thoughts

Just a few thoughts during office break hours:

I have so many pending blog posts!

I find it enormously difficult to shift from fieldwork work to office work. Stress sa chest! It's disorienting!

I'm saddled with a lot of work this week! Core management meetings. Intensive brain activity meetings. Landslide Protocol meetings. Team meetings. Argh. Nakakapudpod ng utak! Ang daming kailangang i-consider na procedure and situation. Level 100 na kami sa logic!

Nakakapagod mag-commute mula QC pauwing Sucat and vice versa. I'm so thankful to my parents every morning hinahatid nila ako sa MRT Magallanes. So blessed to have them.

Para makatipid sa pagmomotivate ng team, naisip kong magpaprepare na lang ng masarap na snacks sa condo tapos dalhin ko sa office para may maihanda ako sa team mates ko. Para motivated sila gumawa ng tasks. asteeeeg

Now that I possess a supervisory position, I realize you have to be two steps ahead of your team because you will need to guide and drive them towards your goal. It requires more effort, more brain power, more time management skills, more leadership, more pakikisama, more sacrifice, more patience, more discipline, more principle-centred decisions, more morality, more EVERYTHING in order to succeed. It comes with the pay anyway. It's challenging but rewarding.

Aside from being the bastion of technical prowess to your team, you also need to foster a nurturing environment. Hindi pwede puro technical lang pinag-uusapan, walang emosyon. The boss should always think of the welfare of the subordinates. Hindi talaga maihihiwalay ang trabaho sa personal na aspeto.

Yan lang muna. May deadline pa ako today. Dalawa. Boom!
