Opposite Perspectives
Assigned to assist in another department
Entering into the same high security space
Three levels of tight security
Imbues in me
A sense of security and privacy
Towards the consumers
Another colleague
Speak out her view based on media
Many levels of hell
Conclude people often perceive others
Through their own lenses and experiences
Rather than finding out the truth and matter
Inspiration On: Wednesday, 29 June 2016
Thank God for the opportunity to help at my current employers’ warehouse to do stock count for two hours to represent my friend who hasn’t reached office. Grateful joy of working together with a new colleague and other two colleagues. It’s good for mobile phone is not allowed to use inside for the card users’ privacy. A male colleague nicely warn not to touch things not to our area. Or else if things are lost and captured by camera, it will give people the wrong impression. A lady colleague leads us into the safety room. As we walk into the room, we need to sign in. It is a large square space filled with boxes of cards and machines. I see people walking around and speaking to one another. There are three level of security doors. The other colleague feels that the level of security is likened to levels of hell. However, I don’t see it that way. I feel that it gives the secure feeling. In the third level warehouse, I count the cards with machine is to perform my job. However, a lady colleague says I want to play the card count machine. What type of message do I give to people? Or is it she sees people that way? Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Is It A Hope?
Autism test day is nearing
My good friend airs out her grievances let me
Decide to leave or convert to permanent
My heart is prepared to tender resignation
Would a company accept an autistic?
Wishing to do my best as unto my Lord
Share to my friend about certain issue in job
Realising my friend and I are different
She is fast and strong
The Lord blesses me a different strength
Speak to a colleague
Not to assume
Share my experiences in IT and Arts
Clarify I understand each part little bit
Prefers creative job
Show a contact photo
Pointing a creative department
A surprise
Labeled being a good person
Promises to ask for me
Inspiration On: Thursday, 28 April 2016
Thank God and thankful for CMF to mean well in her guidance how to speak to customers who refuses to pay. After lunch, we are waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Her unhappy tone, “You can choose to leave or convert to permanent staff” hurts me. The more I choose to leave earlier. Maybe my cell members are right. It’s hard for good friends to work together. Her words linger in my mind. Do I say anything wrong with a colleague yesterday? I talk to her like talking with a friend. Just now, during the lunch I unknowingly talk with a colleague’s supervisor. She means that next time I shouldn’t talk about the communication workshop in the company. She is a manager and doesn’t have time to go for such event. That hurts and make me cry too. I know she means well. Impossible for her to feel unhappy that I talk with other colleague like a friend. My heart is prepared to resign the job especially with the autism test result.
I print an invoice to post. Suddenly, my colleague asks me how to put the logo into the invoice. I don’t know. I walk towards the man and let him see the printed invoice. Then I explain it is generated from the accounting system. I’m stunned with an alien TID word. Next my colleague walks towards his table and I follow him. He opens his computer and login into the accounting system. He points to the SAP menu. Then he explains that TID refers to SAP menu. I clarify that I don’t have accounting background. I enter into the company because CMF refers and I need a stable job. My experience is in IT and arts. However, I know those areas little bit. I still prefer Creative job. Then he opens the contacts page and show the photo of the man in the Creative department. He’ll ask for me and I thank him to do so. Heavenly Father, thank you for today’s conversation with a colleague. He shows the photo of the person in charge of the Creative department. Then he says he’ll ask for me about the job opportunity in the Creative department. If this is from You, please open the door into the Creative department. In Jesus’ name I ask and pray. Amen.
Lord, where are You going to place me?
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Unbelievable Answered Limbo
Expecting communication skills guidance
Only to go through colour tests
Choosing the words that describe myself best
Listening to the instructions
Choosing the words in the cards describe me
Exchanging the cards not representing self with others
Return to respective seats
Coach instructs everyone
Count the most dominant colour cards
Thus I categorise and count
Arranging cards accordion to colour
Speechless with the colour card quantity
Four blue cards
Four green cards
Four yellow cards
Two red cards
Then he calls out those with most green cards
I lift up my hand
Explain green are yes people
Next he calls out the most blue cards
I lift up my hand
Explain blue are logical and negative people
The third call is the most yellow cards
I lift up my hand
Explain yellow are imaginative cheerful people
Fourth is red cards
My hand is on the table
He questions my red cards
Only two cards
Privately share my perspective of a map
Look like a flying bird to the coach
Due to I hear everybody answers America
Do I see wrongly?
Assures me
Nothing wrong with me
Due to belong to yellow card
Sudden revelation I tend to see things
In the bigger picture
An unbelievable answered limbo
The reason I don’t feel a sense of belonging
Inside my mind
Questions and wondering
What is God doing in my life?
Is God revealing about myself?
In the system training
My cell member’s questions are answered
Prepared to give her answer and informs her
Then I rush to the bathroom
Inspiration On: Wednesday, 27 April 2016
The communication workshop enables me to understand myself better. I just need to make sure the words in the cards describe me clearly. Huh? Suddenly, I’m surprised that my most cards are red, green and blue. Basically, I have four cards for each green, blue and yellow. And two red cards. I’m surprised to hear from the Lumina coach that I am well-balanced. That’s not what I want to hear. Then he forces us to choose one card out of all cards. I choose the yellow card, “my imagination leads me to no sense of reality”. However, the ideas have been executed and workable to solve the problem because I am a quiet person. So the coach separates us according to our colour choice. CMF is standing at the green whereas I stand at the yellow. However, the coach explains that I’m everywhere and well-balanced. I feel so sad to be separated from my friend. I share to the coach privately that I see American map as the bird. Hoping to understand myself. He reveals that I think of the bigger picture. I feel speechless because I can’t believe myself about myself.
In the system training and e-appraisal workshop, the person in charge explains how to use the system and welcome questions. My cell member’s question is answered. The transaction can be seen from system website seeing yesterday’s transactions.
Thank God for the courage to speak out and ask another colleague about IT and media department. She asks my experiences so I share from IT and arts background. I study in information system. However, due to my curiousity I manage to repair computer. When I ask about media department, my colleague reveals it is under marketing advertisement department. Suddenly, CMF rebukes me not to say such things unless I have a close friend in that department. That sends me an unhappy signal. Afterwards, I send message to her whether she is unhappy with me. She clarifies that she is concerned of me. In the lift, she carries my bag to see its weight. She mentions it is heavy and asks the things I bring. It is sketchbook, pencils, purse, cards, iPad and other miscellaneous stuffs.
The peace at the cell group meeting with SS, Lita, J and PL. I inform my cell member on the cut off date and viewing transaction. Glad for the peaceful clarification of declaring God’s Words to PM. Her questions are answered during continuing the Bible Study titled Spirit Soul and Body. After Josephine shares her husband and her unhappiness with her mother in law, I begin to share about Internet service provider issue and maid issue with my husband. My cell leader immediately assumes and pronounces her judgment to let my son takes shower by himself. I can sense it is pointless to explain. I feel so overpowered. In the end, I choose to shut my mouth. Because they don’t fully listen. So I just ask for prayer for the maid’s issue.
As we walk towards the carpark, my cell leader holds my left hand. My cell leader apologises that they don’t understand me well enough because we just get along since last October. Apology is accepted. It’s not the time to speak it out first. Appreciate for the cell leader’s leader gives us a lift to the nearby train station.
On my way home, suddenly I receive an email from CMF asking, “Where are you?” That causes my imagination runs wild. Do I make a mistake again? Or is she trying to clarify herself?
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Newcomer Becomes Rubbish Bin
Delegate job is understandable
Due to busy schedule
In order to focus on the important tasks
Attend meetings
Inside I disagree
Delegate job task to the newcomer
Due to frustration towards slow computer
Then play games
Boiling flames due to fatigue
Seek the Lord to distinguish my flames
My good friend sees enormous tasks and remind my job scope
Speaks to the supervisor on my behalf
Inspiration On: Tuesday, 26 April 2016
Suddenly, my supervisor asks me to help my colleague to relieve her from a task. As she guides me along, she is frustrated of her slow computer. Then my supervisor also shows the way and explains it takes half a day to do so. Upon completing it for two hours, I question my colleague’s claim. Because I walk towards my supervisor to ask my pay, my colleague is playing her mobile game. Inside I am boiling. I cry to the Lord on this.
While I am rushing my work, I begin to understand the one whom I replace choose to leave.
In the end, I open my mouth to my friend when she asks about the macro. I don’t have the time to continue the macro automation due to doing too many tasks. Because inside I cry to God that everybody tends to throw their jobs to me. Why am I like the rubbish bin? I am not a rubbish bin. I learn it the hard way. Next time, I need to gently refuse and explain the reason. Inside I cry to the Lord for mentors to guide me in animation and teaching in primary schools.
Therefore, she speaks on my behalf to our supervisor that I am so busy to concentrate on the macro. She sees and understands me of being full loaded. I really appreciate her to explain that I have done the most difficult part. Just left the final simple part of macro.
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Needing Intervention
Own friend is away attending meeting
Lunchtime with supervisor and male colleagues
On the way to nearby food stall
Supervisor offers to convert
Temporary to a permanent position
Awaiting me to give green light
Seek my opinion
Let me to do consideration
As expected of such ending
Inside calling unto my Lord
What should I do?
Needing my Lord for intervention
Remembering my vow unto the Lord
Awaiting His green light
For a mentor and a group of team
Executing the business idea
Inspiration On: Monday, 18 April 2016
Thank God and thankful for many events. CMF guides me though she says that she doesn’t fully understand and has past experience in her previous company. Mum and brother ask about my new job. I can only answer as it is. I don’t understand. When I repeat my friend’s words, they also get a shock and speechless.
My ex-mentor to give me the green light to do plugin freelance job offered by her friend who is capable without IT knowledge yet understanding. She also explain not to force myself too much. Do I look that way? How can my ex-mentor tell?
Since CMF goes for meeting, my supervisor asks me out to lunch with other male colleagues. A colleague’s wife works in a graphic design company who receives a long deadline to do the work. That’s amazing. I wish to work there, Lord. My supervisor seeks my opinion to convert me to permanent staff. I respond that I make mistakes and trying to cope. He keeps on comforting me that I cope well. So I instantly respond to let me consider. Inside I am crying to God knowing such an end. Lord, please open the door to the media industry. So that I can fulfill my vow to You. Strangely, my animation lecturer words echoes “when people have confidence in you, they will invest in you”. Then I am reminded of Ha asks me on the children’s media job since I am looking for it. Because I need the experience.
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Gentle Comical Tone to Point Mistake
Re-learn new ways
Gentle yet comical tone
Pointing mistakes
Choose to delete the wrong email
Sense of gratefulness
Sips into my heart and mind
Appreciate her to do so
Knowing the Lord’s kindness upon me
Inspiration On: Thursday, 14 April 2016
Good that today I have the time for myself during lunch time. It feels good. I thank the Lord that the automated overdue invoices via email VBA code is completed and I am perfecting it by adding other needed fields for future employees to use. I feel so grateful for the macro programmer choose not to put my name in it. It is to protect me from others misusing my name.
A government officer suddenly calls. She informs me in a gentle, graceful and comical tone that I send another two government department invoices to her. Therefore, she choose to delete the wrong emails. Very embarrassing. I thank her and quickly re-check. I thought I am wrong. After I re-check it from the company’s database system again, the system shows the wrong information. She can point my mistake gently yet make it sounds funny in order not to make feel so bad. I feel so thankful. I tell my friend about it. She explains to me to make sure the email in the database system is correct. It is also people who key in the information.
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Promptings
Continuous impressions of the
Persistent widow
Thus I walk repetitively towards the programmer
Seeking the right keywords
A sudden permission from me
Use his ways to re-produce my concept
Giving my consent
Stop bugging
Final result is produced professionally
May the Lord
Repetitively blesses me
With such promptings
Inspiration On: Wednesday, 13 April 2016
Luke 18:1-8 about the parable of persistent widow impresses me a lot. So I walk towards the macro programmer many times to ask for help on the VBA keywords. Because I feel stuck. Then I choose not to go in order not to irritate him. He seeks my permission to do it his way. I allow him and he helps me to redo all with his ways. This is also another way to write the program code. In the end, the automated email to send overdue invoices are completed. However, there is another part I need to add. The sender’s name. I can learn from him and asks.
Good to have the time for myself during lunch time.
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Marvellous Time
Amazed of my Lord’s blessings and timing
A marvellous God
Upon my family and situation
My heart is full of gratitude
Few days ago
Own Mother seeks my permission to bring my son
To attend my nephew’s newborn baby shower
Agree to let her bring and let him enjoy with other children
Today is the day to rush the writing for
Green initiative of the executed coding ideas
Boiling and arising in my heart and mind
To be a blessing to the current company
Inspiration On: Saturday, 9 April 2016
The Lord works marvellously beforehand. He goes before me. My mum brings my son and he wants to follow her for my nephew’s newborn baby shower. Today is the day I need to write about green initiative for my executed automation coding idea. Though I have read others’ writing on their ideas, none are applicable to me. Therefore, I write about my own executed excel VBA codes. Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Many Perspectives In An Issue
Two company customers
SCOLD
Without me knowing head and tail of the issue
Choose to keep silent and apologise
Strength through the Holy Spirit
See the situation through many different perspectives
Endless cycle of perspectives from
Different lenses with
Diverse feelings and mindsets
Broken communications amongst different departments
Hurting employee’s feelings and self-esteem
Customers’ needs are not met
A customer harshly scold foul languages
Only to realize he chose to engage the company’s service
Blames the company instead of his own choice
Another customer scolds due to nobody returns her call
Close friend and I react thus she guides me to check the matter and write email
A colleague proves a point for a customer to scold empty words
Second investigation causes my friend and I
Stick to our supervisor’s email
Apologise to the lady of the correct amount to pay
Inspiration On: Friday, 8 April 2016
I am working in a company. I am scolded by two customers. The Holy Spirit enables me to calm down and to see from many different perspectives. Yesterday is a man who scold with foul languages and even calling the company blood suckers. When I analyze his thoughts, he is the one who chooses to sign up for the company’s service. Since he wants to use the company’s device and service, he needs to pay them. A lady speaks angrily that she is going to return payment terminal and prepare the cheque payment tomorrow. A colleague has a point too. Some customers say they will return the machine. However, they don’t return it. It is better for her to return by tomorrow in order to prevent this month’s charges. She says she doesn’t use the machine. Should I believe her, Lord? Other customers are very understanding. He and she explains gently that their company wants to terminate our company’s payment service and even care whether they owe the company money on the made transaction. Other customers pay punctually and continually uses the service.
Current company come out with a lot of time, money and resources to build the device and pay their employees. The small businesses just need to pay $30 to $40 per month or even a few hundred dollars of annual fee to use the machines and services. It is likened to buy movie tickets to watch movies and/or animation. Nowadays, the people’s mindsets tend towards free instead of considering many people’s sacrifices on their time, money and mental energy being spent to produce the best product. Wish you all have good days and thank you.
