My First Project
Thursday, September 27, 2007

It's top secret! Nah kidding. It's just that a transition is occurring in our department right, and for this week I stood alone. Rewarding actually, kasi walang boss so I get to experience being boss of my own department for a few days. Anyhoo, We are coming out with a new product (we actually always are coming out with a new one), but for this one, I really feel as if it's my baby. Because I contributed something concrete to it, even if it was just a four-page report that I did for a couple of hours.

You know, what I really appreciate the fact that my big boss is very supportive and knows how to handle people. She really does. The five words you always want to hear from your boss are "keep up the good work, man." Well that is six, with the "man." She told me those exact words yesterday. And when you know that your big boss has confidence in your abilities, it makes me work better. I just thank God I don't have a slave driver as a boss.

It's just been an exciting week for me. With the promotion and recognition and the realization that this job is exactly what I am looking for right now, well it just might work. And I am hoping it will.

For four months, I was working on the midnight shift, working in packaging as an equipment cleaner. But I never gave up, I did the best I could and become the best equipment cleaner for packaging. I almost got to tears sometime after my first week. I told myself, what the hell I was doing there. Cleaning equipment? But I pushed all those thoughts away and just hoped for something better, did all I could do and more. Someone would notice my hard work I guess. But I was always optimistic and was just thankful that I was home the same time my baby was home.

After that I got a short term position as lab technician. I got a call saying they needed someone in the lab. So there were two of us, thankfully I was the one chosen to take the job. It was only for two months at first. But after a month I got an extension, and the term was made into one-year. I was already happy with that because now I was guaranteed to work in the morning for a year. People have been telling me that you can't get the career you are trained for unless you were schooled here. And I didn't accept that. I knew I would be destined for greater things, as God is with me, who can be against me? God does answers prayers. I have seen Him work in my life.

And just after two months working as a technician, I got promoted again. I was all smiles yesterday when my big boss gave me the offer and her congratulations. After all the sacrfices, at least I can say I have accomplished something, with God's grace, and hard work really pays off.

And now, well I am grateful and happy. Who knew I'd be working in the pharmaceutical industry. After our plant design, I was actually hoping I would get into the oil industry, but God had other plans for me. With my father working for a competing company while I was still in the Philippines, I was not able to get into a job I really wanted at that time. Well now, I am actually in pharma, which was actually my topic for ChE 140. Sayang di ko nauno 'yun.

Alam niyo, for the first five months here in Canada, I was never happy. But now I am. At least I can have a career that I will really appreciate. And learning, I learn new stuff and add more value to myself. It's just really a blessed month for me, I just can't contain my joy.

I still get to talk with people from packaging, manufacturing, people from marketing, and of course lab people. And I can still get access to all the areas of the plant so it's all good. Simply put, at this point in time, I can say I am happy with my job.

Things I have learned this week, you have to encourage other people and compliment them whenever you can. It helps, I know. And just smile and be happy. We need to add joy to this world.

Masaya lang talaga ako, this promotion means a lot to me. I have witnessed first-hand how sacrifice and hardwork pays off. Now I know better.

Yung project ko? Bigyan ko kayo ng sample pag narelease na. Kung andito kayo sa Canada ah :)
