Education for professionals

Getting an online degree is one of the alternative ways a professional can continue educating himself. If you are working from 8 to 5 daily, how can you get your master’s degree? Transportation alone, especially when there are traffic jams, will eat a chunk of your time. By the time you arrive in campus, it might be closed already.

The solution would be to get a degree, like an online teaching degree, via the web. Make use of your internet connection. Even in the office, just as long as you are allowed to. Anyway, your degree can be a tool to make you a better asset of the company. Two of my staff are taking their master’s online.

For a degree online, go to Western Governors University. It is a fully accredited online educational institution that is affordable and caters to professionals like you and me. Visit their web site now at www.WGU.edu for more information about them.

Time-conscious explained

This is in reference to my previous RT/WW entry…

I have been really time-conscious lately. I feel like there’s so little time to finish so many things. Specifically at work. So these days, I make use of my cellphone’s calendar and alarm a lot. To be sure that I will get to everything I need to do.

I don’t get enough sleep and rest for a few weeks now. But I am planning a getaway where it will be all about ME and chillin’ out!

MYM – Pasta

pasta

The last time, I tried making pizza and ended up burning the crust. This time around, I did not attempt to cook anymore. Instead, I made some salad for the cousins. Lucky for me they really liked it :)

Feels like cookin'

chefThese days, I feel like cooking all the time. I think the influence came from my cousin who’s studying to become a chef someday. I find it cool that he can whip up a dish in minutes, making it look oh-so-easy!

So I did try to make pizza, and ended up burning the crust. I tried making french toast and succeeded (ha!) as well as soup (albeit out of can haha). But I think I am getting there ;)

My cousins love coming over my place when they know I’m there. And when they hang out at my place, I feel like feeding them something I whipped up (trying to be cool!). LOL Next time, I am sure I can do something better. Salad, perhaps?

Las Vegas by December

The whole family will be traveling once again to Las Vegas by December. Our family’s annual reunion will be held there again. As early as today, my sister is checking out plane tickets and getting travel insurance quote for all of us. We don’t have any problem with accommodation since we will be staying with relatives anyway.

I am excited with this annual trip to Vegas. It’s a time to bond with family and relatives. And year after year, it’s a blast spending time with my cousins. I am looking forward to this trip and have already asked my boss for a one week leave of absence which he already approved!

No to the other OD

I would like to think that the other Operations Director in the office, not my immediate boss but one directly over me, is just glad for my company. He always asks me to accompany him everywhere. My boss was angry with me the last time because after lunch, the other OD asked me to go with him to the steam cleaners and it took us two hours before we were able to get back to the office. By that time, my immediate boss was already looking for me for an hour!

I explained to my boss about it but he told me that next time, I should learn to say no. He’s right. But it’s just so darn hard to say no to a boss.
