Paid another $400 on my citibank premier miles card. Am just waiting for the citibank PH bills so I can pay them off and close them as well. :)

Things to ponder for the next two years.
Did the presentation with NY today and it wasn’t that bad. My boss told me I did a good job and that makes me feel good. It’s funny because a compliment actually means more in this company than it did where I previously worked. Next on my performance objectives—-presentation with the team on Thursday and then work on the London business day tasks. I’m thinking of actually volunteering to do another presentation at the next meeting since a presentation is the best way to learn about something.
AAA rating on my performance appraisal, let’s do this!
I am writing to express my frustration about my very good friend who just told me that she is now pursuing the same goals as I am. It’s really annoying because I think she got the idea for what she wants to do with her life by constantly talking to me. I wouldn’t mind so much if I knew for sure that she was passionate about the same goals as I have, but the thing is, I know what she really wants to do with her life(NGO work) and by choosing to have my goals instead of coming up with her own, she’s choosing the easy way out.
Gah. I’m so pissed off about this right now. I wanted to motivate her about creating her own goals and not have her copy mine!
Edited my presentation today after going over it with my boss. Urgh. I’m feeling stressed about the Monday presentation…I just want to get this over and done with.
In other news, my line manager told me I did a great job on the presentation outline. Let’s see how the actual presentation goes next week.
:)
Dear God,
Help me to prepare my mind and my body for my presentation next week. I lift up to You everything. This is all for Your greater glory. Let me be confident, eloquent and wise.
Love,
Sarah
..are awful. I did them for London and NY today and I barely had time to do something that has more added-value. It’s really weird how I’m suddenly so value-conscious when it comes to the things I do at work—-if it doesn’t add value to the organization, then I don’t spend time doing it. Har.
Tomorrow, I have back to back training on Balance Sheet and Income Statement Netting and Fair Value Measurement. Friday, it’s training on Foreign Exchange. Then, I have to make sure everything goes well on my presentation on Monday! GAAAAAH. I don’t even have a script prepared for the presentation yet. This is my chance to make my boss proud that he hired me. :)
Dear God, thank you for being with me and helping me last through Wednesday. Lord, I ask you to please help me with my IDS Allocation presentation. Help me with all that I have to accomplish and let me share the talents You have blessed me with everyone around me.
Thank you Lord for my confidence and eloquence,
Sarah
I’ve been spending the past two days working on the IDS Allocations presentation and so far, so good. I completed the powerpoint presentation today and I’ll go through it with the VP tomorrow so I can tweak it a bit and make it the best ever yet. I’m so happy I didn’t rush doing the presentation and now I have enough time to edit it and practice my speech.
This presentation is one of my key objectives for 2008 performance appraisal and I really need to do well in this if I am to get a AAA rating on my performance appraisal this year. Once I finish this goal, my next objective is to review the London processes, document them and organize all the documentation on business day tasks. Then the rest of the year will be focused on improving my knowledge of the General Ledger and the processes done with it.
Thank You God for this wonderful job and this opportunity to use the skills you have blessed me with.
Love,
Sarah
From now on, I will try my best to control my emotions and not give anyone the power to affect my mood or my feelings. This includes people who have nothing better to do than try to make me feel jealous or insecure. I am enchantingly beautiful and naturally loveable no matter what I do, however I’m feeling. I now glow from head to toe, all day, everyday. :)
I’m feeling really happy I’m finally understanding IDS Allocations. Tomorrow, I’m planning to fix the powerpoint presentation.
Thank you universe for the the lucidity and wisdom that you brought my way today.
Tomorrow, I’m going to wake up early, head to the gym to do some ashtanga yoga and then work on my IDS presentation for Monday.
Time to get my life back on track and start working on my goals again.
I will do a wonderful fantastic informative and eloquent presentation on IDS Allocations and I’m going to get that A+ appraisal this year, just you all wait and see.
On that note, I also want to be debt-free in 3 months time. Completely debt-free, I tell you!
Dear Universe,
Good day. Help me to organize my life and my work, that I may be able to accomplish more without feeling the unnecessary stress that being disorganized brings. Help me, O Lord, to do my best today and to absorb all the knowledge and wisdom that will come my way through the trials and events of today.
I know that the AAA rating on my performance appraisal now manifests for me for the greatest and highest good of all concerned.
Thank you for this wonderful job and this new day and opportunity to do it well and be of service to the people around me.
Love,
Sarah
It’s mid-week and I can’t wait for the weekend to begin. I’ve been assigned to do Segment Profit and Loss this week and it’s driving me crazy. I cannot clear the suspense breaks! I was close to tears at work yesterday trying to figure it out and no one would help me! Went home at 3am. Today, I did Segment P&L again, but this time, I had to escalate everything to the VP. Gaaaah.
I haven’t started anything for the IDS allocation presentation yet! Tomorrow, I’m really going to devote 2 hours to the presentation and work on learning segment profit and loss. I also have to start working on my performance objectives for the rest of the year.
I really have to develop a new strategy for coping with the requirements at work. And I have to keep in mind the following:
“God is going to shift things around for me today and let things work in my favor.”
:)
Have to think about where I want my career to head…and what I want to accomplish for the next 6 months..
I have to prepare a presentation on IDS, which will be presented to NY and my team on the 23rd. So much pressure to do well on this as this will create that first impression on my boss on how I am and how I work. I’m really praying that I do well on this one.
Sending positive thoughts that the universe may send me all the wisdom, eloquence and confidence to add value to the organization by helping them understand IDS allocations,
Sarah
