You Don't Have to Put All of Your Eggs in One Basket

 I have not posted anything here in months because I was so busy with my other tasks at the office.  Also, I am too engrossed in my role as a YouTuber.  For your information, my YT channel has reached a milestone, it has more than 1,500 subscribers, reached more than 4000 watch hours, and is now eligible for Ads. You can visit my channel and you can make some comments at As Good As I Can Be it is now running Ads and I am just waiting for the PIN for it to be monetized.  Please, don't forget to subscribe too.

You might wonder what comes to my mind to say something about the title of my blog.  Well, it goes this way.  I have two friends at the office who happened to be skillful and talented and they were promoted recently.  I am so happy for them, Mam Judy, also my Kababayan, was promoted from PDO III to Senior Education Program Specialist (SEPS) while my dear friend, George will be promoted from SEPS to Learning Resources Supervisor in DepEd Sorsogon City.

The abovementioned colleagues were so brilliant that they were entrusted with so many things at the office, e.g., Judy was tasked to perform duties in all procurement activities while George was tasked with National Math Programs at the office.  They were the lead roles without assistants, I am so afraid of what would happen just in case someone got sick or somebody went on a leave of absence. 


Now the challenge, because opportunity knocks - which anyone, of course, would grab.  Judy was promoted by another office a month ago while Goerge will be in DepEd Sorsogon City in August. Voila!  The positions will be vacant and there was a need to train new employees.  I am praying that our office will be able to get competent people like them.

Moving on, I felt that as a leader, you have to assign people other than the focal person(s) some vital tasks so as not to experience similar challenges in the future.  Hopefully, the problems will be over by now or in the coming weeks since new employees will be at the office soon.
