takt time

What a nice buena mano business day… 16 how-did-I-do-it-hours at work on my first day. When life offers you a table full of your favorite food, watch out because somewhere out there is a platter of cosmic playback waiting to be savored. Emerson, ito ba ang kapalit ng mahabang bakasyon? But I guess this is good because 1) I have a potato theory that I work best under pressure and when I work best at work, it is always directly proportional to my academe life. Why potato? Because it is my comfort food although others kinda hate it due to carbo overload; 2) It gets me off some things - diversion kumbaga! 3) Time flies when you are busy. Before everone knows it, September na! Wake me up when September ends but I hope I’ll be sleepwalking as early as July; 4) Pressures humble me because all the more I tend to pray harder (naks! may ganong factor? Seriously!). 5) Mabilis mawawala ang cheekfats ko!

Early today, we had a lecture on Value Stream Mapping. Shame on me for being a Productivity Lead I didn’t know what takt time is. What it’s etymological meaning at least.  It’s actually a German word for heartbeat. Interesting right? So they use it to pulse what the customer wants. Hmmm.. Emcee likes that! So what does my heartbeat tell me now? Will somebody please pulse me? (Emcee’s thought bubble showing: she needs company this hour because there’s just so many things she needs to pour out pero tulog na ang roommates nya, hindi man lang siya makasama sa lunch break sa officemates nya,  sawa na siya sa FB apps, walang ibang bukambibig ang partner nya kundi business so di sya makasingit ng mellow chikahan, masyadong masaya ang yosi buddy nya para magpaka-emo sya, so magba-blog na lang siya!). I love you blog! Journal writing the old fashion way is just so.. well, old fashion. I can’t think well with a pen nowadays (Realization 1 of the year: the reason I’m not doing well in school is because only few teachers allow us to use our laptops during exams. I work best in front of a computer pa naman.)

Bee-tee-dub, I haven’t taken any alchy this year! I know it’s too soon to tell. Jan 4/5 pa lang and every single person I’ve shared this ‘revolution’ with laughs. But hey, I’ve said no to alchy on two parties this year! I’m just happy for that.

Bee-tee-dub two: Arce and I have a wait for it… WOW idea for our next team building. We plan to go to casino (oh my) one of these days but when he learned I have a poker set, he wants to have a poker night with the OMG instead. I suggested a Strip Poker but we will have someone else strip for us when we lose. Ending: AVATAR strip poker: When Avatar goes to Las Vegas Party Po-po-po-poker night! I see you! Wow right?

Bee-tee-dub three: I love Fr. Noni. Oh my, I’m not sure if this is his name. I love him yet I don’t know his name. haha.. His homily is just food for the soul. Same goes for Fr. Orbos.

Realization 2: I can’t believe I’m discussing work, alcohol, gambling and favorite priests in one blog. 2010! Anong ginawa mo kay Emcee?
