Frustrations

Where has time gone by? March already and I don’t have anything concrete to show! Although life int he office (again) looks like it’s about to change drastically, I am frustrated that each agonizing step towards our goals seems to be taking so long.

What gets my goat is the fact that you know the prize is there.  It is somewhat within your reach, being dangled by would be clients.  Yet, when you reach for it, it gets tugged up by the powers that be.  I (think) I know it’s near, yet, it is taking so long and I’m afraid that we are being led by our pockets. 

There is hope though, other prospects are entering the scene and two of them involve  multi-million peso  contracts.  One is a very big corporation here, listed in the stock exchange, and probably a billion dollar enterprise.  The other is a budding manufacturing company that needs a system to streamline their operations.  Though, these projects provide much hope, their entry would be much appreciated at the soonest possible time.  Preferably, within this month.  

One of my projects is supposed to launch this month, so we are getting ready for this.  It has been delayed by two quarters.  Imagine that?  The delays didn’t come from us though, but now they are rushing it and it is timing itself with a really hectic month. 

Problem with our industry is that we can prepare for clients, and give them what they ask for but as long as the contract is not there, no money is coming is in. I’m pressured because I want some of these projects to materialize by this month.  

Just writing about it already overwhelms me.  With so much to do, my brain gets scattered.  Aaaaugh! I know I’m worrying needlessly and I’m sure things will all calm down once I get my bearings straight.  In a way, I’m still thankful that we still have jobs what with the global economy being in the state that it is currently in.  

Don’t mind me, am rambling as usual.
