One Man Band

Thursday, November 27, 2008

After the emotional departure of my assistant Monday night, I was left all alone in my department to work on both clerical and management tasks. It is tough, not much time to sit, relax and blog. Ha ha ha....

I am aware of this scenario when I thought, planned and implemented the decision. I tried to prepare myself for gruelling days ahead (or even weeks) until I find a replacement.

There were three candidates I got to interview, only one seemed qualified. However, after much scrutiny, I learned that candidate #1 is a first cousin of the owners of the employment agency we contracted. Maybe I am just thinking ahead but this person might be the link of the agency for confidential internal matters in the company. That's a big no n0.

After going through candidates 2 & 3, I called the agency and requested to screen some more and send over those deemed qualified. So the next week or so will be very busy interviewing applicants in between work all day.

I think I am used to multi-task, tiring but used to it. However, I am just afraid that running a department all alone may (or certainly will) affect efficiency given the 3 functions under my post.

Busy, busy December and it's not even about the Christmas rush.

mahirap na gawin ang trabaho ng ilang tao.. tapos dept patay. pero kaya mo yan kuya! :D

South Park said...

@ DE - yes that's true, pero kahit mahirap, dapat mahalin ang trabaho. kung makakita ka na ng iba then pwede mo na syang di mahalin. he he he

a louie said...

kahit walang sweldo okay lang sana pero PC pala gagamitin ko, pwes kahit di pa ako tanggap, resign na ako.

South Park said...

@ a_louie - aha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

see i told you. pero bago ka mag resign after applying, gamitin mo muna ang VL & SL mo.

a louie said...

VL = 30 days
SL = 15 days + 7 days of rest day.

Yan dapat computation sa akin.

South Park said...

@ a_louie - yikes! 45 days leave credit. mas marami pa sa managing director namin. ha ha ha

if it's any consolation, and because the company is cutting on costs, there's a world wide directive of cutting marketing expenses, lunch meetings, unecessary travels and company parties. ergo, hence, therefore, wala kaming christmas party this year.

sad but that's reality.
