Celebrating small successes

It's a Sunday today and I hope everybody's having a great weekend.Over 2 weeks have past since the big storm came and I hope our call center friends who were affected have gathered themselves up and got their lives back together. There's so many things to be thankful for in life. Sometimes in our quest to be better or earn more to give our families a better future, we forget to pause, share our time and be thankful for the small successes in life we have achieved and for them being there to share these successes.

Today I wanted to write another interesting post here and spend much of my time improving on this blog. When I started blogging again I realized there's so much to improve on to make this weblog more useful to you. I also wanted to watch basketball games on TV since my favorite team is playing. I thought it was going to be a "ME" day. My spouse had a different idea. She wanted me and my son to spend the whole day outside; go the cementery, have a bit outside and do groceries. I was going to miss all the things I planned for today. Grudgingly, I went along since we didn't have much time to spend with other the past few days anyway. We did all the things I mentioned and spent some time in a mini-park having fun with my son too. It turned out much better than I expected! It was a win-win situation for all of us. Even though I wasn't able to do the stuff I had scheduled, I felt happier now than I would've if I just stayed here and stare at my monitor all day. It brings me back to a previous post I just did with a call center operations manager interview. Ms. Viray mentioned time management is a very important part of our lives no matter what we have accomplished in life already. That and celebrating small successes with the ones you love are essential to keep us grounded and sane.

In another topic, while I found time writing this here right now, I'd also like to share with all of you and mention the small achievements our favorite blog has gotten since the start of this month. I have envisioned many great things to come to make it more interesting to visit and engaging for you.

I'd like to thank all of those who have joined our Facebook Fan Page. I presume the reason you joined is because you liked what you have read here and I promise you that things can only get better from here on. So far we have 44 Facebook members and I hope our members share our facebook page with their call center friends to grow our community better. Twitter followers have also been on the rise. Join our call center blogger Twitter page, which has about 156 Twitter followers already, and get the latest on this blog faster. It is currently the most popular way for our readers to get the latest call center news, job openings and more that I occasionally post through this blog. Our blog visitors are also increasing since the start of this month. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of those who have subscribed to this web page and continually visited the site on a regular basis. I promise there will be better stuff to read for you here from here on. I few notable stuff I've added are the call center forum for those who have questions for me, a call center map for those looking for directions to reach call center locations and a call center job-posting board for those who are currently in the job market today.

In light of my desire for this blog to become more engaging, I'm also open to suggestions from you on how we can do it. I invite all of you to comment below with your ideas on what you would like to see in this blog and hopefully we can work things out for a win-win situation. Godspeed to all and I hope to hear from you soon! :)

To end this week on a happy note, I'd like you to watch this hilarious video I picked up in youtube. No spoilers just have a great big laugh! :)
