13 years.

Talk about March Madness! A lot different from the Dance, I just spent the past couple of weeks in hell, or at least it felt like it. Summer beckons as the temperature is surely reaching the mid 30's, along with a perfectionist boss and paranoid homeowners, it's the just the right recipe to send someone who's in charge, someone like me, to be sent into the asylum.

I don't understand why some people can be so inconsiderate. Is it normal for employees to be "always" the one to blame? Or is this just a cultural thing? Is it just me? Does it get harder as you near the top? This is almost the same situation I was in before I left my previous boss. Is it the stress of maintaining the stature of one's position or profession? I pray I won't be this way when I have my own company! Please enlighten me!

"I need a Juicy!"

Maybe it's just me. Maybe you do need to be more aggressive or ruthless for you to be successful. I hope my observation's wrong. I was taught in the ways that if you work hard and treat people right you'll be blessed! 13 years after graduation and I still can't see it happening. Maybe nice guys do finish last.

The end of the construction project is a couple of months delayed but my personal commitments have been harrassing me all the way from Sampaloc. I pray that this will be something that can sustain me for a long time. I had to turn down a couple of jobs because of my proximity from Manila, and I'm someone who doesn't turn down a job. 13 years ought to be enough time to prepare. I have to do it sooner or later. This way, no more overtime, no more tardiness, no more "intentional flu". This way, it'll just be my time!

being an employee has its ups n downs. we get salary, leave credits, and other perks, though oftentimes, we say, "not enough"!
being a boss or a business owner is another story. never have i heard nor known that a boss will accept a fault if something happens to a business or company. it will always be the employees who did wrong. y? coz they have to save their sorry faces and "ass". so if ever u become the owner of the company, try to use the lessons you learned from being an employee, and things will be better, if not the best. goodluck in your forthcoming endeavor!
