Life goes on

I had some catastrophic thing happened recently. I get so fed up sometimes with cheap dramas that happen to my life. I have made enough inventories of various experiences, and I hope that by now I have already paid my dues. Anyway, I will be fine, and I am quite impressed with myself as to how I manage things.

Today, I had my performance evaluation by the head of agency (1 of my supervisors) for my 2009 work. In a nutshell, it was very good and encouraging. I was starting to think that I was not performing very well and maybe the UN work is not for me, so it just made my day. He said I work very well with national colleagues and sort of bridge the gap (often there is a tension between international and national staff due to many factors). He told me that he appreciates my enthusiasm and hard work and my analytical skills. He said it is good to see my “quiet style”, meaning that I am diplomatic and not pushy or aggressive. He was thankful for all the work that I have done and I was rated fully proficient in all areas of competencies and he agrees that I am exceptionally proficient (wow!) in emotional intelligence, conflict management, negotiation area, which, I have come to realize, is one of my strengths.
So, in summary, I started the day in a shitty (excuse my language) way, have 1 very visible pimple on my right cheek and got completely soaked in water when I tried to put a water bottle on a dispenser in the office and made a scene, but it was sunny out and there are people who appreciate me a lot and the life goes on. It all depends on me how I want to take things that happen to me.
