Life Bliss

I don't have work today. I was a bit disappointed when I learned I only have three days schedule this week for the continuation of my training. Disappointed because I need the money. At the same time I like it coz it's like I need three days off to be able to do my personal things, rest, and psyche myself up going back to work.  I will have the day shift tomorrow. I pray that it will be easier. I pray that I can do my duties responsibly and accurately. I also pray that my trainer is as patient as the one who trained me for almost two weeks. And I hope this trainer is more structured and prepared with hand-outs. And nice of course.  I was overthinking again yesterday. Feeling anxious again going back to work with a different set of colleagues in the morning shift. Thinking about my hearing again. But of course, God led me to where I will be appeased.  I chanced upon Father Jerry Orbos' reel. I love this priest because he sounds so sincere and kind. He said gratitude is the...

 Dear God, please be with me today and every day. Let me see the good things and not my fear. Me of little faith. You have been guiding me all my life, especially now that I am in a foreign land and starting again. You have been good. Let me acknowledge and live Your goodness. Let my faith be stronger every day. No fears, no worries, no doubts.  Only hope, faith, love, gratefulness, thankfulness. Run my day, God. Let me hear my officemates, have fun with them in our Spirit Week. Just let the days flow and prioritize the important things in my life.  1. My daughter's petition 2. Savings - retirement, and our house  3. Health of course 4. Enrich myself with further knowledge 5. Help my daughter find a job and keep on praying for my daughter's well being Appease any tinge of worry in me, God. I can do this because of You. Thank You.

 Thank You, God.  I was really getting worried and depressed last Thursday when I had to take calls for the first time. I dread this part because of my hearing. I had not will to eat during my break. I thought of searching in Google if there is a live caption for the phone system we are using. It turned out Windows have live captions that can transcribe calls that go through the operating system. It gave me hope. I told my trainer about it and she said she doesn't know. I checked it beforehand and Windows in the office has it. I said we take it up with the Supervisor so we did. It was so nice to hear him say sure whatever can help you. Maybe he can ask IT about it.   I tried it during the video call with my daughter when I got home. It was late and it didn't capture the right words but I was so hopeful that in the phone system, it will capture.  So I tried it when I got on my shift on Friday. It worked! The transcription was so clear. There are moments it's a bi...

I am so grateful for the weekend! But you know what? It was merely Saturday yesterday but I already feel the dread of Monday :(  It's because of my hearing. My trainer is very nice and patient. It's me. I am getting an inferiority complex because of my hearing. I am embarrassed coz I don't hear them much even if my left ear is okay due to the hearing aid I borrowed from my mom. My right ear cannot hear much still even if I wear the hearing aid.  I am praying once I have my own hearing aid customized for me, I can hear them all better wherever they are. I'll try to practice later for both ears.  I am still learning the system but I can do that. In the training manual, it's like 1.5 months of training. I pray for your miracle on me, God. That I may be able to hear them all wherever they are in the office. Please give me the confidence to work and communicate. I am basically an ambivert. Let me acclimatize well, let me blend in well. For that to happen, I need to hear ...

 I had my two day already at the office. Everyone is welcoming. They're casual but the systems and procedures are strict which is fine with me. However, as I dread it, it's my hearing. I already told some of them about it, and the accents most of the time, make it difficult for me to understand. When they speak to me face to face, I can fully understand. But if they are far, their words are not clear to me.  So I borrowed my mom's hearing aid yesterday. It helped me but from afar, I still cannot understand their words. Maybe because the hearing aid in my right ear seems not to be fit to me. Only the left ear, which is my better ear, is working. I am being trained. I know I can do this because it's repetitive. But they do not have a list of step by step procedure for each of the apps. But I can make one. I know I can do this. I'm scared for today because I'll be with someone for the next 2 hours who speaks so fast and so slang. Huhu. And we'll be walking coz ...

 It's been eight days from my last post. A lot has happened. A lot of good things. And I only have God to thank for. Thank You for the blessings, God. My new hire processing went so well. The guards were polite and let me in at an earlier time. The lady who processed my employment requirements was so helpful. I think she noticed my hearing aid so she somewhat she also has one but she was not able to wear. In any case, she talked to me as precisely as possible since she knows I am hard of hearing.  There were also glitches in my registration but I went through after a few minutes. At the time of my processing was my husband's procedure to remove the stitches from his back. It was smooth and quick. I informed my manager that I was processed already and was given orientation schedules. He said awesome and said that they will be in touch with me the following week for my schedule.  Last Saturday, one of the Supervisors called me for my schedule this week.  Likewise, my m...

I got an email for scheduling the new hiring process as well as the requirements I need to submit. I also got a new background check report that my government number is "pass". Relieved that all's good and that I need not call the agency. I need to clarify about licenses though. I will email it later and ask the hiring manager.  I also got a call from my doctor's office. I've a confirmed appointment for pap smear on Wednesday morning. Praying for great results. Waiting for my ENT for my hearing aid. I got an email from my career coach asking about the interview. I'll reply in a bit. I'll start on my coursera today. But I also want to chill by watching my series. Haha! I finished my job obligation by sending replies and a rectification.  The overthinker me. What worries me now is if I can do the job. Of course I can. I just pray a good trainer will walk me through and that my hearing will support me. So help  me, God. One thing is for sure, God gave me all ...
