Life is Like a Wheel

Life is like a wheel. Everyone will agree. From day to day there are different encounters. Different events. Different places. Different people. All are riding in the wheel of life.

Practical meeting

Wheel on January-31-12

I am real glad that we have video conferencing services. One of the important attendees for my meeting this coming Wednesday would be out of town. She is very important because she is the subject matter expert for the project. She told me not to worry and we could just do videoconferencing. How convenient! Actually, we should use that service more often because it is quite practical especially if the attendees are from different locations.

It rings a bell

Wheel on May-6-11

I love watching science fictions, medical breakthroughs and even doctor shows. Well, maybe I want to be a doctor myself. I am thinking of going to chiropractic school. Yes, the art of breaking bones! Have you watched one treatment session? I think that the profession is pretty exciting. Seriously, if you become a practitioner, it will benefit your professional life and the pay is good. Now, it rings a bell, huh!

Increase in salary

Wheel on April-26-11

Time of the year for Performance Appraisal. How did I fare? I know that I did my best last year but the part of the pie that would complete that is somehow subjective. Behavioral grade might have some criteria but then again, the grader will have control over it. I am just hoping for the best since it would mean an increase in my salary.

For the unexpected

Wheel on April-1-11

One of the occupations that I wanted before was to be sort of a banker. You know, count money and do have many cash inside my drawer. Oh, I love the smell of new paper bills and the gold and silver coins are attractive to me. I used to make blank paper money out of bond paper. Oh, how my Aunt scolded me for wasting the rims of coupon bonds in our study room. Then I grew up. I learned more about banking. I learned more about the valuable things that you can put in a bank. You can put there not just money and coins but also valuable pieces of jewelries, land titles, security certificates and others. It depends on the security box that you would get. Oh, how rich a bank maybe. Because of this, I imagine how dangerous bankers life maybe. Well, we have heard many cases of robbery in banks and those are really ugly, so to speak.

Well, my neighbor is still working in one of the most prestigious banks here in our country. I wonder if they have
bankers life and casualty at their company. Well, they must have. I salute all people who works in banks from the security guard to the president or anyone who holds the highest position in a working bank for that matter. Bankers are really one of our good neighbors as they serve as every time we go there , first to inquire, then to finally entrust them our money.

That reminds me, I have to go to the bank today. Well, gladly, there is no instance yet of robbery in the bank I go to. I hope there will be none. That made me think about insurance of banks. Well, its coverage in the sense that the customers or the depositors are also covered.

Anyways, I just wish everyone safe and in whatever occupation you are in, it is better to have some security for anything that is unexpected.

Self evaluation

Wheel on January-20-11

They bought a new performance management software! Yes, appraising one person can now be as easy as 1,2,3! Actually, you can already input it monthly. The employee himself can do his own performance appraisal. The approval still lies on the supervisor though.

I always wanted to do my own appraisal. Yes, self evaluation might be biased but I also believe that you are not bold enough to put something there that you are not really are!
