work redemption

No one will ever understand the work of a finance staff unless he himself is one. In an attempt to at least lessen my workload, and because tea has gone before August ended so manpower's scarce at the office, and jjay's coming home, I decided to sacrifice two weekends for the month-end closing. The attempt worked, big time. I have never seen my boss grin that wide for the longest time. I must have done something pleasing in her eyes, finally, after months and months of pissing her off (both deliberately and, most of the time, inadvertently). Or so i did! I won't have any compensation though for the supposed OT I had for the past weekend. I didn't claim for it; an issue many can't understand. The "unclaiming" is not a desperate stabbing effort to please my boss. Neither is it plain martyrdom. It is my chance of redemption from long incessant downfalls I have had at the helldom I once belonged, more of proving that every downfall's fixed with every gratis sacrifice. Whining can never help; that is the ultimate lesson I've learned. I chose that path anyway, who am I to whine? I still have lots to fix back at the office. I'll fix them one at a time, with no whines involved. Just plain beaming work.
