finally the day that we were expecting and preparing for has come. today is the start of the 5 months intensive training for our new batch of trainees… we have a total of 17 fresh and young minds ready for the incubation process plus 2 external trainees who would like to taste the sweet bitter experience of our infamous but totally effective training strategies…morning was scheduled for an orientation from 8 am until 12 noon… all agenda has been lined up and are ready for execution… then time to have a headcount.. damn.. there were trainees who were late on their first day… this is a bad omen… and the worst thing was trainee L was late for almost an hour… and she even personally told/asked me last saturday that if it is ok to be in the office at 7 AM.. and i said “sure! why not, but it’s too early..” and she answered “its ok”.. and what’s ironic was i did not even saw her shadow at 7 AM… but we started on time whether or not she will come..and there is no time to waste.. and finally everthing were settled… trainee L arrived … and all went well until the formal opening ceremony in the afternoon…what was so good and challenging during the afternoon’s event was all managers were trying to hit us trainers in front of the senior management and trainees… that was so good of them…well i just smiled and try to swallow their amazing request and expectations… what makes the ceremony interesting and fun were the mottos of earch trainees …eheheheh you won’t know it you will praise them for a good motto or you just wont believe what they were saying…and snacks came after our VP formally close the ceremony… we had pasta carobar and pizza…the food were great and two of manager were amazed with it…my boss quick ate his food and off he go to Cebu..then i had a little chat with some 4 trainees who was not able to do and study their assignments… as a summary it was a good grand opening…

today was a very pressured and busy day for us. pressured because our boss is in the office. whenever he is around the atmoshphere seems so heavy… that their is always this fear in the air… well anyway it doesn’t matter with me… i had prepared five documents for his review and signatories… all pertains to the opening of the training… knowing that he will be out of the country by nextweek… i prioritized all urgent matters that needs his attention… i got 3 approvals and 3 pending items but it just need a little modification and it’s perfect… on the other hand Ms. M is preparing the Training Room… she started with a layout of the tables, chairs, lockers and cabinets… and it was quite ok…
