The Corporate Madam

Here she is a year later and a couple months , ... lets start from the beginning

i think i approached work with a stepping on egg shells kinda work experience.   the hunger to learn but also to knowing not to step over certain boundaries "that's not my job thinking" but when i did do that, it felt as if i was stabbing well not stabbing maybe chocking myself ,, i didn't like the feeling of not doing something.  but with time i learnt how certain things did work.  some i am still learning but sometimes its better to assist you never know how one will appreciate the assistance but not everyone.

i have friends who always told me how lucky i am to have got a Job out of uni and some having being looking for sometime,  .  but as much as i feel i have a degree education, work is a different type of class and lecture,  nothing those distinctions will teach you.   im trying to remember if they ever told me to enjoy those one month to three month vacations even those long weekends.. God bless South Africa and all their public holidays , i miss them..   i started off basically work at 8 am knock off at 5 pm straight on the dot.  like aint gotta tell me twice . enjoyed my weekends.  and i switched departments wow it was interesting hello coming to work on weekends and i realized we had very few public holidays in Zimbabwe like really how why? i didnt remember this because last holidays were school holidays always long.. ok back to my point they never told you to enjoy holidays because success comes with no breaks,, i think to myself sometimes how i would love a break but the hunger and diet of constant(consistency is key) learning has me staying put availing myself to learn as much as i can.   i was thinking what super hero would i be i thought hulk but maybe emotionally .uni needs a module on emotions i remember communication like space interpersonal blah blah theory is so over rated--the real thing is deep like gosh i could drown.. i think i did a couple of times and yes i Came back to life (bad ass remember i am somewhat of a super hero in the making maybe spider man still deciding) .....back to the point people stress is not that little beef or not talking to people. u kinda build a family and then again you become part of a brand .  so what ever you do especially externally you need to smile... deal with customers best your can.  after all without them you wont have a job.  and i learnt about internal customers yah m,,those are super important .  you wont get along with everyone but does not mean you have to go out of your way to go to war.. but that will be another post.  this post is more a rant of how far iv come and how much iv learnt im not a car girl but i found myself in charge of a fleet of 6 cars and an interesting team that had to drive them..  i had no idea it was like Greek someone would tell me what car they want by telling me the make and even shocking to me then the number plate.   im like how do you even do that.  i learnt how to calculate fuel per kilometers and i was like huh at first like i always heard someone say oh i need 5litres chcichi and never got how far especially with distance (km),, with a few sessions with the boys who tried to con me (those make you stronger situations) im like a verbal theoretical mechanic.  and yes getting everyone to prove where they  were absolutely the best part .. when u realize when you have been had.. its an aha kinda moment like you aint going to fool me twice.  

i will leave it at that will share more of how iv grown and how the School lecture of work is going..

 hope you enjoyed this burst of a rant from this corporate madam
