Blessed to be Stressed

I just ended my week with a hang over.


Frustration engulfed me as though I am in the middle of nowhere.


My boss is getting irate of my low turn out and delayed reports. My co-workers are getting indifferent as they too have their own tasks to manage.


Blessed to be stressed.  Yes that is what I always think.  I get this mantra from my previous operations manager who always mock me with my crappy amateur action plan to constantly-monitor-the-agents strategy. My clustermates would laugh boisterously every time someone would exclaim those words. Well, I just shrugged it off. 


Somehow, since I got this job, I never get tired of telling myself that I am still blessed to be stressed. Saying this would lift me up from the many cares of work as I believe that this has made my world go around--- my work is a blessing.  I could not even imagine staying under the sun trying to sell a product to a stranger, just like the man I saw selling pails.  Nevertheless, simple and noble as selling pails, the joy from getting money from an honest day's work is worth the walking and carrying.


Grateful for the blessing that the Man up above has given me, I rest my worries yet assured that tomorrow I will be enlightened to finish my pending work.


Blessed to be stressed.

Primer

The complexities of coming up with my first blog page is very intoxicating.

Even before, I thought that blog is only for people who have the pen and ink running through their respective veins, however, these days I should say that as long as you know the basic ABCs of computer and web navigation you can say hello to blogs! What can I tell you? The only thing that makes me confident in coming up with my very own space is my 45wpm,hahaha! Kidding aside, for me blogging is a no-brainer stuff as long as you have the guts and the sense to talk about something sensible at the end.

What gives me the impetus of creating such? For one, this is something that keeps me from thinking of stuffs related to my bs experiences and then in the process see the light underneath it all. Some can create imaginary blogs and earn and a lot as in a lot ( thanks to the web ads posted on the sites), oh well, you can say that again I look forward to that. Some create blogs in line with their passions and hobbies. I blog because... I still want to discover the reason for that.

Primer,  as I call this first blog is an inference of discoveries on how I came up with this so called piece.
Well, for the past 6 years of surfing, searching, navigating, facebooking, etc, I found out that the number of people blogging is increasing. Blog is a blended word from web log. One can post comments and even assassinate the one who wrote it--- using of course all the effing words they can think of.

Somehow, while writing this piece, I realized that my main reason is just to test the waters of blogging.  I would be happy if people would read what I would post as I may just be a simple human being trying to get the feel if ever my blogs would garner even just one comment. Comments may present themselves as inspirations, challenges, and advises---with an open heart and mind I welcome them.

Hello Bloggin'!
