I don't know if this observation has anything to do with the fact that I am a libra, or that I have been talking far too much to Kejina (a self proclaimed horoscope nut), or just because it is in fact true, but it's really funny how the universe really has a way of balancing itself out....
Last week I must admit was considerably slow for me around here, with everyone being away at meetings, and with not too many new assignments. I must admit, I was falling into a bit of a slump but this week really shot my motivation right back up. This week I was asked to sit in on a meeting by Vince Isber (Regional VP) and it was so nice to see that when the meeting progressed I started to recognize some of the numbers and results being presented by Vince... because I compiled them earlier this month! I sat there at the meeting and I couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride and satisfaction seeing something that I did prove to be useful and of interest to a boardroom (and if I may state, a very big boardroom) of important people. The week only got better with a fantastic work party. Our FP Manager Tom Hayhurst-France took the team to Barangas on the Beach, a fabulous restaurant right on the water for a delicious Greek meal and dessert as well as drinks. The day of R&R only got better when I realized that there was going to be some beach volleyball. I must admit, it was really nice to finally see everyone out of their bank attire and in casual mode. And of course, the week's fun events would not be complete without a lovely lunch with Professor Malik at my home away from home Starbucks (thanks again for the lunch sir).
I hope with this whole universe balance thing that my great work week won't be offset by a gloomy forecast next week... I guess you'll have to stay tuned to find out! :-P
