AS the PHOENIX SAGA continues, I find myself amidst the war between the Sandman and the Morning Star as I ended my shift 6 am and how did I caught myself in this warfare started not long ago.
It began 1 am during my night shift yesterday, when I was busy doing my transcribing task when all of the sudden I felt my eyes feeling drowsy, so I checked my pupils because maybe it was my new set of Freshlook contact lenses that was causing it. (FACT: I am using the tri-color enchanted green with amber and choco brown which I though was complimenting my blue and black stripped military cut polo that was the trend for the season) When I checked it was normal so I guess The Sandman trying to enthrall me in the influence of his sleep dust, and what I did was took my headset off for a moment, did little flexing my back muscles, as expected I was alert again to complete my task.
From 1 am to 6 am, I was awake and survived the ordeal of the transcribing which took me sometime to really get it going plus having minor difficulties with the google docs because of the system was having problems but was fixed but our competent Network and System Administrator and his Junior assistant.
Feedback with the work given to me was comprehensive and I mentally noted it but to be sure I made some notes in my notebook for things to remember in replying to a correspondence, being sure to attach the file as requested with proper labeling and details must be taken carefully. In summary, I had new knowledge in how to become a very successful Virtual Assistant (VA).
For now, I am Michaelangelo D. Ferrer, the psychologist/psychometrician for 5 years and training to be not just good but a great VA. Re-learning things I know about the internet, micro-soft applications and discovering new hi-technology ways in the global village of virtual assistance like new software applications and technology that I never knew existed before.
I had my farewells to Ms. V, Mr. J and my new found friends in VA and when I opened door what welcomed me was the light of the morning star which was something that when I am inside the working station, you sometimes forget that it's already day when time-in for the night-shift.
My experience for the whole day before coming to work tonight was dealing with the Sandman who knocked me to sleep when I entered my cozy room set my wake up time 12nn to do the home assignment I brought for the decoration of our training space but was awakened it was 4pm in the afternoon, I never slept that long before and as the Morning Star bade his goodbyes in the horizon at 6 am and the electric lights started to come alive from an hour of blackout in our community.
I checked my closet for the color dress coding for tonight which is red, I took my red-black polo matched it with a silver straight cut formal pants, high cut shoes and cotton Starbucks jacket with hood to make it casual yuppie added with a black formal tie to pull together the whole ensemble.
Performed my ritual shower, looking and smelling clean all over, ate my lola Yaya'y's prepared dinner and drank plenty of fluids, went to out of the house to my mother's place where I found my baby nephew Lestat playing with his mama, Marrianne, my youngest sister who was also talking to my nanay at the same time while they were also watching some news on the television. I asked and informed them for updates with our individual lives as I kissed Lestat my goodbye for I have to travel still to my bestfriend's apartment where my other friends where tonight, they were preparing to party tonight for another themed event at the bar of my good friend Dennis which I declined because my priority is my career with VAT. Well, my friends are always supportive with my endeavors especially with my professional growth, and they gave me some details as to the yesterday's white party that they attended where people were asking about my absence to the party scene. I smile and crack a laugh, it's showbiz and I am having a great time at work which is my top priority in my life right now. Party can always wait, that's the last thing I said before I said my goodbyes and drove the PUJ (Public Utility Jeepney) to the enter the realm of VAT, where I harnessing my strengths and unraveling my potential to make it and be great as a VA.
Work started on time and flew as I installed my wall decor art with its psychedelic retro feel, happily I watched it come together with manga drawing version myself with the phoenix as my shadow and cj my co-trainee drawn inside a typhoon riptide having her headset on hand, as requested I have made a manga version of Ms. V as more are noticing and asking for theirs.
As the sandman is just behind the exit doors of VAT with the morning star coming to the horizon, I expect a war between the two are stirring when my shift ends.
Feedback of my receptionist task made me want to learn and be keen more on the details and pacing of my conversation with the clientele but I did my calendar well and I guess I deserve the sandman's dust later when I come home safely in my room's embrace.
to be continued....
