Encouragement

yesterday i came to work and there seems to be a lot of things happening. a colleague of mine cant finish her load for the day and somehow i feel partly responsible. although in weighing things, i could say that i'm not even at fault. but then again, i feel bad that i couldn't help.

basically i was tasked to update the calendar that we have - training calendar that is. that includes the class roster and the officer's certification and re-certification dates if applicable. i am religiously updating that. on the other hand i dont go along well with MS Excel so i have difficulty updating the snapshot or the passing rate per class (i hope they can come up with a way to automate that in the future). now she is looking for the percentage rate and at the same time she needs the total number and percentage of officers who certified out of the old module and i dont have that data since i came on board only july of this year while she's been the trainer for 2yrs now. likewise, i was never told how to do it. although it seems sophomoric, i never really had a sit down session when i was told that this is what im suppose to do and how im suppose to do it. its not that im defensive (well it certainly sounds like, i know), its just that when i consider all those things i think that i really have no fault in that. she's not blaming me, in fact she remained nice. i guess im just guilty and paranoid.

when i got home yesterday, hubby felt my sadness. i was just too tired to tell him all about what happened that i said im just thinking of a lot of things. made me smile though that my husband is so attuned to my emotions that he could tell right away without me verbalizing it, which reminds me i need to post something else in regard to that.

this morning, when i came to the office i was given a little down time by God that the trainee i'm supposed to certify at 4am did not show up. i decided to open my personal email and this is what i found courtesy of my good friend Theyie.

Rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing,
In everything give thanks, for this is the will
