The bad and the good

I've read an article in 'my paper' that teaches us to treat our troubles as stepping stones
and life's to look on the positive side of things, never give up, shake off the dirt and take
a step further. I find it very meaningful. Will find some time to post it online.

Today's day was full of ups and downs.
I had a team meeting after lunch. To give some brief description, my team is made of
5 persons including my boss. Other than my boss, 3 other colleagues have a
different personality, background etc.. one of them joined the company 3 days later
than me. Quite surprisingly, the other 2 colleagues did not take leave from the beginning of the
year till recent month.

Our boss wanted us to discuss on our procedures, yet it became a session of personal
attack on my performance. Basically, i think i'm improving. I was commented by the new gal
that my folder is very complicated and even requested me to be like her, creating the
same folder to store her stuffs. I feel that she doesn't seem to know that i'm doing alot of
stuffs myself, unlike her. She even said, ''When i'm covering for both of them, things are ok.
But when i'm covering for you, i don't know where to find''. Never mind, i'll with it.

''Can you PLEASE archive your emails or do it DAILY?''

''My gosh, how i am to do that when my daily work is already so packed'', I thought.

Thank God that my mentor helped me by saying that my clients seem to be having
the largest volume among the team. It's time for me to raise up the issues i had.

I feel stabbed by this lady. When i'm having lunch with her, she seemed ok.
But in front of everybody, she seems to be claiming all credit.
I felt hurt by what she said. But i know i did my best at work, so i prayed about it
before going back to work.

Miraculously, after this new gal went home, one of my colleagues told me that
actually i'm doing a better job than the lady who handled this job before me.
I was surprised to hear that.
Why would my colleague tell me that so suddenly when I'm feeling depressed?
I feel that God place her to encourage me and I'm glad.

Btw, the new gal who stabbed me so hard is a Christian in name.
So weird.
