The blurb made me laugh out loud.

deep sh*t

FPJ is leading the canvass as of today. He's going around rallying people to fight any attempts of the administration to cling to Malacanang.

Get ready for war.

Reorg

I heard some whispers from my officemates regarding a change in management asignments. One of the items they were talking about was about having a new division completely focused on training. When my boss and I talked later today, she told me that there were changes that I needed to know but that the timing was not right. When I told her that I already heard the whispers she spilled the whole story.

I will have a new direct report manager since it is but logical that I go with the other division. They have not told others yet since the director has not yet made the big announcement. There are several more major changes and what I know only refers to the one that directly affects me.

I'm okay with my new manager since I have been working with him on a particular project and I know how to deal with him. He is pretty generous and we are more like minded compared to my current boss. It's just that I have a certain attachment with my current boss since she was my first boss. She offered me this job and took me in with utmost confidence in my abilities. After she broke the news to me this afternoon, she told me that she will still be there for me as a coach should I need her.

Here's hoping that things will be all right when the reorganization gets finalized. Maybe my apprehensions about having to sell my expertise will dissipate as this mandate is now much clearer.

Friendster-less

The IT people are now on to us. Yesterday, one of my officemates approached me and asked me to check out Friendster . I tried it out from my PC and the browser brought me to our enterprise homepage! They probably realized that a lot of people are eating up the bandwidth by frequently checking the site and uploading pictures. Not to mention, some things get set aside just so someone can go check on Friendster. On the upside though, we can still access MySpace according to my officemate. ^_^ The loss of friendster in the office is not really a big thing for me. The novelty of the social networking thing has been lost to me. I still check it and do my mass mailing there but I can live without it.

Tired

It's the beginning of my week but I feel so tired. I have been working since Saturday because of the training sessions that have been happening concurrently. Yesterday, I had to make up to my cousin and brother so we went out and loitered in a mall for a good part of the day.

Now, my lower back is aching. My neck too. Hope this is not the signal of a bad week ahead.
