I get pretty well with my manager, we joke around sometimes, but mostly his commonly used quotes are “Call!” “You need one more client” and “Go buy me food”. The last one really irks me, not in a negative way but sometimes I just don’t want to go, just for the sake of my ego lol
And yesterday he said again “You need to do ten deposits this month… But now go and buy me a sandwich”. The story is that to do ten deposits takes hell of a work and stress but I came up with an idea: if by the end of the month I have ten deposits HE will go buy me food. I just laughed afterwards because I like the idea so much, I can already imagine him walking to the nearest gas station to buy me lunch.
The moral of the story is that, the fact that I need 10 depos makes me strestfull, but the fact that my manager will buy me food makes me laugh. The end result is if I focus on ten deposits I will be accomplished my goal with stress, but if I focus on my manager walking to buy me food the end result will still be 10 deposits and of course him walking to the gas station! 1 week ago
Today I was told, “Agnes if you do 10 deposits this month I’ll ask jews to give you a nice bonus, believe me. And if you keep on doing this great I don’t see any problem on promoting you to managers when we have moore people.” Then my boss eyes me from head to toe giving me a hint that I don’t look proper and added, “But you have to change everything in you.”
I just nodded and went away. Nice bonus means nice bonus, enough said, because I know that when he says “nice” it means a lot of money. The second part about me changing everything in myself… I don’t know…. I know what he meant but I don’t know if I want it. I know I have to change the way I speak, the way I talk, the way I look and my whole attitude. As for now I look like a hipster, my hair is red, my clothing style is not suitable for business and if I want to take up this serious job oportunity I’ll have to look, act and be like a business lady. So byebye my crazy looks..
I’ve been waiting for him telling me that and I won’t lie I have been looking forward to this, but at this moment I don’t know what I feel.
I am happy because he noticed me, but on the other hand I don’t know if I am ready.

completed this goal
How I did it: I worked for the company for a year. The last 2 months were hard for me. I was bored and was looking for a new position within the company. Something that was reliable and secure. Something that would play towards my degree. I worked hard and created a good reputation within the company. I put the word out that I was interested in a new position. I then waited and waited. BUT I got it. You can read about it here :http://loveislife0lourdes0echagarruga.blogspot.com/2012/02/onto-new-path.html Read how I did it… 15 months ago
