GPACD

GPACD is the new department that I have to serve starting 1st July 2007. Stands for Graduate Placement, Alumni and Convocation Department, it is a department under academic division. It has only one staff which is me. I'm the manager and the staff. I may happy for the promotion bcoz after a few years performing in this college now I feel that people can see what I can contribute for the college.
However, I'm taking a very big risk by accepting this promotion. Still holding the post as lecturer and counselor, my responsibility now is bigger. Not including Module developer for Jakarta branch, Advisor and trainer for debate, sometimes assigned to train student for poetry recitation in many more...
Now, what worrying me is my Masters project. I'm supposedly to present it on september but until now i'm not started anything yet. I have 3 bosses now and all are ladies..lady-lady boss (hahaha..) (er..i'm going to write about my 3 lady bosses in other entries). I have to make sure that I can perform for all the three bosses but definitely it is very diffifult. I have to be a good planner and observe my discipline in time management. Now, I have no time to rest more than half an hour in the office, having lunch outside IIC compound and need to ask permission from the big lady boss if i need to leave office for something. I'm now stranded in a cage called ACAD.

However, after 1 month holding this post, i feel quiet happy with things that I have done. Sending students to overseas or even local universities to pursue their studies. I don't know how proud i'm when they came or update me that they are now at IPT doing their degrees. There is something unexpected here, I have no idea that I will have more students come to see me in this office rather than in counseling department. Everyday is like 'Hari Bersama Pelaggan' for my department. Up to the point that I have to runaway from the office if I need to do something urgent and important. At this moment, I still can handle myself..but can't think what will happen in future....
