Lessons on resourcefulness and being Miss Congeniality personified

It's only my 3rd week here but I am running to and fro - mind you - in my new 3.5 inches high heels - from my office to Megamall then back to my office.

In 3 days, my primary mandate is to open a small outlet in a mall as a satellite branch. No assigned sales staff yet, no merchandise.

You think that's it?

I need to ingress before this week ends and the lease papers are not yet signed! The signatory will be here by Thursday but there should be a memo from other signatories who happen to be out of the country that the lease needs to be signed.

I'm rambling.

Wow - so kailangan ko ngayong mag-milagro na mapirmahan ang kontrata at makakuha ng deposit para mabuksan yung branch.

Thank God there are people in the office who take pity on me and who are geniunely concerned. They promised to help me find my signatories abroad.

Aside from all that stress, I am having fun. Contrary to initial impressions, people started warming up to me by half of the second week. I now car-pool with a manager-friend every morning so we can both save money on gas and parking.

How can they turn a very nice, friendly girl down? *blink* *blink*

And this morning, someone gave me taho for breakfast.

Kewl.
