andHere He Comes to Save the Day! <Longish>

[Kristina21]

I had an interesting day at work, I realized that when my dept. is eligible for bonus $$'s I will not see a dime because I am coded in the system as a cashier and not copy center. Meaning that although I work very hard to keep our sales up and I do outside marketing and such...I won't be recognized at all. And did I mention that we are so close to the goal we can smell it???
When I brought this to my boss's attention he shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could do. Only one full time person can be coded as Copy Center and it has to be the dept Lead (which I used to be). The selfish part of me said 'fine, then I'm not spending so much time on this company...they don't care why should I?" I'm having trouble keeping that part of me from taking over how I work. I kept telling myself I should just put on my big girl pants and deal with it. Now I'm not a big praying type but I needed more then just myself and my thoughts to make it through today. God got an earful of my pitiful story this afternoon from me. I felt better. And apparently God knew what he was doing...

My director sent out a couple emails this afternoon while I was at work feeling sorry for myself. I came home to a cluster newsletter where she had recognized my clustermate's sales...another email where she recognized me for calls made during our booking blitz this week...and another that just stated she was thinking about me and wanted to know how I was!

So to say the least I am EXCITED in many different ways!!
I'm in love with my business, my life and what spiritualness I have! Who cares if I don't get extra money from that job I dislike anyway?!? I'll just book some more shows and meet some new people!

So while I'm still fired up about how great this company is I gotta make some calls to a few recruit leads!

You hit on one of the reasons I love PC - it can really pick you up when you're having a bad time with the rest of the world.

Thank you for all the thoughts! I really liked calling my recruit leads last night and this morning! I have an interview for Friday and one that needs to be walked through signing up on the website!!! I think I will use the "sorry sack bonus plan " story to emphasis how wonderful it is to be your own boss!Oh! and I don't know how many of you receive "A fresh perspective" email each morning but this morning's was just for me:"If you view all the things that happen to you, both good and bad, as opportunities, then you operate out of a higher level of consciousness." ~Les BrownWe often miss opportunities because we are broadcasting rather than listening. You can win more friends with your ears than with your mouth. Practice being a great listener.

Thought I would share!

Congrats! Just remember that when we work... we work as unto the Lord... He will take care of you down the road. Consider this a blessing and another test passed! Good luck with the interview. Wishing you the best!
