Not-so-random acts of kindness

Yes, The Bitch has a heart. Two Saturdays ago, I treated the entire Marketing team to a McDonald’s pancake breakfast. Down and out with the tiresome October sale, I had to lift their spirits up with a very simple gesture – fed them and gave them a bit of a sugar high.

Last Saturday, my VM Officer was up to his ears with his load, not to mention with the bickering of the highs and the mighties. I shared with him my morning snack and my pack of West Ice.


Unforgivable oversight that I had to forgive

I hate it when I give VERY CLEAR instructions on a particular project – the specifics of what to do and what not – and yet end up getting a lousy report or output.

A week ago, I asked one of my Marketing Officers to fix the logistics requirement of a major event since I had to deload myself of the task. My plate was just so full. All she had to do was encode the pocket activities according to the schedule.

When the document came back to me, she got so confused she overturned some of the schedules. I ended up revising the entire thing myself.

Since when did 3:30 pm come earlier than 1:30 pm? I guess she left her brain at home that day.

Whew. I had to count 1 to 100 to just let this one slide and remind her to please, next time, read and try to understand.

Simpleng-simple.

It gets to me when team members don’t think when they do their tasks. That’s what they’re there for!
