And they are asking why, hence this post. :) (Kay abi sa ako mama naka dispalko kog kwarta kay kalit-kalit ra daw.kalerqui.hahaha. FYI: I don't do dirty business.;) )
1st, due to health problems of Sir Dodong. He said he prayed hard to land a position where he gets to sit compared to the busy-to-and-fro of bookstore transactions. He is very excited!( and I think that's good). 18 years, his name is already synonymous to the word bookstore.haha.Cashiering will be as easy as eating peanuts for him.;D
If you asked me, I prayed for a challenging job.haha. Cashiering is never easy but three years with it, is already a routine.( I think this was the time I also came up with our business venture so I could have a diversion.hihi)
I'm happy with the swap.:)
It a whole new different animal! You deal with suppliers, clients, other branches, distribution, marketing and the list goes on and on. Special perk is to TRAVEL! To canvass but anything linked to traveling is always a go-go for me.:D It's like managing your own business but without the burden of personal financial risks. ;)
I always have a knack for doing new stuffs, creating/changing things and looking forward to endless possibilities. I see this as a TIMELY opportunity to hone my management skills(since cashiering is more focused on cash handling), deal with new people, exploring ways to effectively sell and just about anything under the heat of the sun. ;)
People/Things that I will miss:
- My tellers! They have become my family, they understood my crazy side and we have bonded for three years especially during our weekend getaways! I love these guys and I'm very glad that I could depend on them especially when I'm on vacation. teehee! I will definitely miss all your stories and our random jokes from out of nowhere! Please do still invite me to your fiestas, birthdays .atbp!hahaha :p Thanks for everything! XOXO
- The manic phone calls following up their checks!
- Stories from pick up tellers.(daghan kay masagap na chism!)
- The endless line of students/parents during promissory time( I don't think I'll miss this!ha!) And yes some of them will even text and call you on you're CP. kaloka!
- The dirt on my nails for counting money and the bottle of alcohol for cleaning it up.
- The vault!( when opening it I always imagine myself as Charlize Theron in Italian Job!bisyosa!:D)
- The noise of the teller's printers.
- Our air conditioners which are SUPER COOL! literally cool. :D
- The main door which only I can open thru a switch. Mura kog Ginoo! Pag dili tika feel dili ka kasulod sa langit!aw.:p
- Signing a lot of permits( ug pamaulan daun pagka-ugma kay sige duot sa stamp)
- IOUs (ihatechu)
- Our neighboring offices and its perks( you know what I mean)
- bantering with Juanits in Spark!^_^ and Mam Beth's stories about her kids.(I always enjoyed that kay joker kaayo si Maam!haha)
- The lobby, canteen, Caf and the kiosk shake!(uber love it)
For a lot of people, they will remember me as, "aw kadtong strikta na cashier". And I couldn't care less.hehe. What I know is that I was able to do the job with integrity and learned a LOT of things in the process. ;)
I am an example of the mantra, age doesn't matter. If you are dedicated to the work at hand, you can definitely do it with the right amount of support from your colleagues. ;) And I was also able to instill with my staff that they too can do it. Who knows maybe one of them will become the cashier in the near future.
At the bookstore, I will be handling with more staff, more offices, more inventories,etc. And with that I must say, BRING IT ON! :D ( And bless me Lord. ;))
P.S. I got married here. So did Sir Gifford and Mam Cha. Our fearless forecast: Si Mimi na ang sunod. Abangan! ^_^
