As soon as I landed on a job in the government, I made an oath of doing my best in the task/s that will be given to me.

 Today’s activities at work made me realize and reflect about how I am fulfilling my job. One colleague sent me a text message saying “bakit trabaho mo ba yan…” I can understand that in times when we are being put under pressure for deadlines, our minds tend to fail us— that’s why we say “stupid” things to other people.

but today, what really caught me was how my colleague delivered her messages. Eventhough she sent it thought text messaging, it was as if she was telling me that I was not doing my job. She wanted me to do only a task that was part of my giving of serving in our institution.

I’ve been working for more than six years and she started working less than a year. I guess I can understand that she tells what’s on her mind but she should know first the situtation before uttering words that cannot be taken back.

To work under pressure, one must be strong… one must sacrifice to be able to deliver what is expected.

I realized that I am doing what should be expected of my post.  I guess it’s not my problem if I want to be more useful at work. People talk— yadda yadda– but I hope that with their mumblings, they are able to give what is due the salary they are also receiving.

I am not saying that I am a “saint” at work.  I just want to give back to the people what was given to me— my job. and doing my job does not limit me to what is written in my job description. just as long as I know that I can be of service to others— I WILL DO MY BEST.
