S-T-R-E-S-S

I am so stressed with work right now. There's nothing else I can think of doing right at this very moment but just the want to get a massage, a foot spa, a facial and a shopping spree. Oh did I mention being in Mexico? A place where I can just forget about all the work problems I have right now. All the stress. All the paranoia. All the commotion. All the out of stocks issue I am being faced right now. Out of stocks issue in which was "immediately" faced to me a week after a new product was transferred to me to manage on.

This is definitely not my fault. But at the end of the day? It is mine. It is my responsibility to fix this. It is my role to find a solution as to how I can GET NEW STOCKS to serve to our customers. After all, at the end of the day - it is always what the customer needs is what's important.

I have recently been given a newer and bigger responsiblity here in Brand where I am currently having my immersion being part of URC 's 1st Batch of Management Trainees. Our program actually works on a 1-year fast-track program for people with work experience. We are exposed to both the Sales and Marketing side of URC. We're done with the Sales part - experiencing to be salesmen for 2.5 months, now we're here in Marketing where we develop new products and manage the brand we have. I was given the role to handle Fresh 'n Up. This is Jack 'n Jill's (and mine's) newest "baby" to date - the product was lauched last October 2008. To cut things short, its the first-ever CHEWING GUM to be launched. Moreover, this is Mr. John Gokongwei's special project. So that leaves me where? Fresh 'n Up = Mr. Gokongwei's project = Pressure and stress point of Krystle to 100%.

And now, as of November 20 I only have an estimated 200 cases remaining in the warehouse. With production already STOPPED and to resume next Wednesday. I am currently averaging 79 cases per day in sales. 1 of our ingredients ran out already which caused the stop production. 2 more of our ingredients are soon to be Out of Stocked already due to overusage from the plant. WHERE CAN I GET MY SALES? WHERE CAN I GET MY PRODUCTION?
WHERE CAN I GET ALL THE ANSWERS THAT I NEED?

This could not be seriously happening to me now. A week after I was given this new role (since the one who handled this prior will be leaving the company soon.)

Seriously.

Seriously.

I need a miracle.
