My First Week Summarized

It was an eventful week to say the least! I attended two Web design meetings, laid-out 3 tarpaulins and edited the company newsletter. But this is getting ahead of my story.

On my second day, I was tasked to create a tarpaulin which has a deadline at the end of office hours. It was my first time to even think of being assigned to create a graphic work at that scale. I called up my artist friend and asked him about it. God was just so generous at that time.

Rendering overtime work is not really an issue with me but I just couldn't that day because I had to attend a class. For this reason, I asked when my deadline was. The person who is supervising my work at the moment made a remark that I was waiting to beat the deadline. I calmly told him my situation. He was kind enought to allow me to leave the office in time to attend my class.

I really can't complain about the team I am assigned to at the moment. They are good at what they do and they are dedicated to their job. We had late lunch because we were all engrossed with the task at hand. This happened both Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday was more relaxed. As a result, I was able to give time to processing my some of my internal papers and attend the noon mass. This was really one of my dilemmas in leaving DLSU. Then, I thought that I could be in a better paying job with better perks but I might lose the spiritual nourishment I get from daily masses. That's why I was so overjoyed when I knew of the daily masses held everyday.

I enjoyed another blessing this day. I was asked by my CEO to go over the upcoming office publication. Was I surprised by the amount of work that needs to be done on the paper! To think that the publication date was so near. I asked the writers who were responsible for it. he told me that the people on our team are the writers in the paper. I jokingly told them that I was seriously thinking if I want to keep them as friends. It was a good thing they were good sports about it. They even gave me free reign in checking all aspects of it.

Now, my team leader trusts me with editing the articles he writes. It flatters me, boosts my confidence, to say the least. Now I know clearly God's purpose in assigning me to this office. May I not tire to be His functional instrument.
