I Survived January

Ahhh February! My birth month, my favorite month of the year!

I am welcoming this new month as if this was a fresh year. Like January has been a long while ago, with so much stuff happening, so many new tasks I couldn't even learn yet, but I do anyway.  It was like January has been too long a month. Overwhelming! Three major events, and 1 horrible cry. 

I am once again, moved to a different cocoon. I only stayed for 9 quarters in my DOLE Gensan Family and after 2024, I started with the Technical Support Services Division (TSSD) due to the retirement of its former boss. 

I used to believe that TSSD holds the most engaging positions as it is quite known to be the think tank of the regional operations. I stand corrected. While it is true, it remains as the think tank of the DOLE operations, in my first month, I could say it is the most tiresome office where your brain cells forever function even when you are asleep. 

I may be saying this just now because it is my first month in the office and I have not yet mastered everything else, let alone learn the ropes. But everything seemed to be urgent, important, and I have not slept really well until I had a dose of sleeping vits. That busy huh, it is! 

And everything seemed to be technical! I have never read so much in my years in the field, but this new task requires you to think, read, write, brainstorm, decide and report to so many people! Not that I am complaining, but I really have yet to learn and yet so much has happened already without me being taught on how to do stuff.

Do I congratulate myself? YES! And a pat on the back. 

I guess there's nothing else to do but swim!

Thank you to those people who believed that I could do it, I am doing my best. 

And look, there's a word they coined for how I felt in January! 😆

It's just February, I can still feel my lungs breathing.
