My Pink Shoelace

My boss promised me yesterday that we’ll do coaching the following day at the start of my shift. I was looking forward to it actually as I have some clarifications on process and what not.

It scared me to know that one of my team mate was placed on corrective action plan and that I might be heading down that path soon. Never fully understood what’s in it for me, bec the first and the last time I was placed on such action plan they still moved me to this LOB am currently in. If you ask me it somehow lost whatever merit it holds. A friend also said what’d you get if you’ve got good score cards anyway? It’s not like you’re applying for a higher position … yeah yeah yeah … all true but an agent’s gotta have some sort of motivation to keep coming back right?

So we had our coaching and he was surprised on how I state things, the way I understood them. Clarifications were done … I asked him to give me a week to work on something.

I did feel a twinge bad … just a teeny weeny twinge … when I asked my boss if I was one of his outliers during their skip level. Imagine … having been discussed by whoever was there why this agent is not hitting the metrics and all. What a shame?!!!!! Oh well thats their job anyway … yikes!

Am not aspiring to reach number 1 … lol … thats for other folks hehe lets just say am done racing for the top … I’ve had my share academically so am done and out. lol

23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!

A week or so ago, it was a Saturday, I bought a new notebook. Yeah, I did not on an impulse but well I dunno how you qualify it but I bought one, its pink, 12 inches and loaded with Vista Home Premium. Its a pink Neo Vivid 2121 …

Now this baby didn’t last long in my hands for the following reasons:

*** No matter how many times I tried installing VStudio Developer 2005 and 2008 from the MS site, it would download the files but won’t complete the install, it’d give out setup.exe has stopped working error and would quit. So much for grand plans of self studying … lol.

*** I’ve grown so used to the size of my macbook’s keyboard that the teeny weeny blocks for each keys on that Neo was annoying. I mistyped every so often.

*** Am not sure if its a problem with the OS or with the hardware, but that darn thing would freeze every so often even though the tech already changed the upgraded memory. That notebook is already running on Intel Core 2 Duo, w/ 3gig ram and 160 HDD, am not sure what its problem was, good thing it comes with one year warranty on parts and lifetime warranty on service or shall I say labor.

I gave it up, right before I purchased it I pinged Diva and told him of my plan and that if its comes to a point where I won’t like it (so much for prediction!!) he’ll buy it. Well not really buy it as in hand me the cash then and there but more like installment. I guess that’s better than being stuck with something I won’t like. lol

When Logan heard about it he asked me earlier, what the hell is wrong with you?.  I said, did it not occur to you that I still havent figured out what I want? lol

He also asked if my other notebook’s paid in full already, I said nope but my birthday is yet to come. So yeah, a lot of notebook’s have come and passed my hands so far this macbook has stayed the longest and hopefully this would be for keeps. Am crossing my fingers.

23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!
