A blessing in disguise!


I was thinking of getting a Back-to-School-for-Teachers loan at a credit union here in Gallup. I was told the union will ask for a contract (for SY 2012-2013, as proof of employment).

Well, it was Monday and in my mind I still have 4 more days of vacation. I wasn't really ready to be seen in the office with jeans, slippers and shirt yet! lol! but WHY NOT?!, so I decided to drop by the office to get the contract.

A lot of cars were parked outside, meaning most of them have gone back to work already, which made me wonder.. but then I had no plans of meeting people or visiting my place in the office. I had blinders, I will just see the secretary and go!

Armed with a smile on my face, I went and signed my contract. Never mind what I was wearing, Lol
but LO and BEHOLD!

Stated in my contract was my start date which was supposed to have been the Thursday of last week! Oh my!

Left me with no choice, I had to see my boss to confirm, he negated. Ok. Good. But checking the salary scale.. it felt like cheating! The figures were not the same!

Long story short.. I went to work that same day! Wearing the same thing! Lol!

I missed my first dayyyyyy! wahhhh! No frills, no coo-coos.. hehe

So back to work! About the loan? - nahh, never mind. To work means getting paycheck early! Still, a blessing in disguise :)

P.S. It's been 4 days of work and guess what I've been wearing? (shirts and jeans!:) Lol!

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
