The first few weeks was all about absorbing information, watching, and learning. I worked as if I had nothing else to do since I spent the days by chatting with the people and visiting the cubicles. There is so much to learn that even after a whole month there, I haven't had the chance to go to a different complex or building. Let alone shopping.
This area I work now consists of small businesses with non-labor intensive situations. It has been known that we have had problems opening new classes due to the participant's quota. Last time, there's an office which planned to send only seven persons for a program. Hanging on to our policy, yes, you guess it, we didn't close the deal. We lost those several millions. What a waste.
There are large businesses that are labor intensive. Hotels. That's what I'm aiming at.
Honestly, the programs offered are outdated. They don't give the answers to the ever changing demand. In my area, the potential source of income is hotels and unfortunately, we don't have that program which I plan to make with the help of others. Perhaps I will have to step on some people's faces, too. Oh well. One's got to do what one has got to do sometimes. I am THAT desperate.
It's very uncomfortable to lay our palm facing up. Every time. Of course, this is a very personal and subjective point of view of mine. Others may not see it. It's their comfort zone. It was my first priority to know how people had felt about the situation. Are they, truly, comfortable? After a week, I got my answer. They do want some changes. Their 'yes-es' are enough to boost my spirit to realize my plan into action and action into results.
I could feel the adrenalin going at the back of my neck. Even my superior gave her blessings and promises to help me with the plan. She made some phone calls to some important people when I had sent my proposals. Ugh! That's all I need. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!!
The end of the month is approaching. The deadline to finish the syllabus, pricing, specifications, proposals and materials is getting closer. I'm almost done with the first set. A week to go, three sets of pricing to make. I know I have to juggle between work in this new place, from the training department (which I've finished, thank God), unfinished work from my previous branch and a personal project. It's too much of a challenge. I said to myself, 'It's your own choice. Can't complain. Live with it!'.
Putting a project into reality has its own consequences. Perhaps, I could make some people dislike me. I mean, who would be happy to have the extra burden on their shoulders? So far, I asked the academic people to choose the appropriate materials to use. I made the customer section's person to help me with the pricing components. In a way, I've asked my superior to make some phone calls to persuade the important people in HQ to help us. Sooner or later, I am going to make others work. Harder than before. Coming out of their comfort zone. Not to mention the people 'there'. Some time, some how, some day, I know I am going to pay for what I am doing now. I hope God will be gentle to me then.... Amen.
It's full force now. I intend to make it happen. Only a damn hard brick wall could stop me. I hope I won't find any.
