an irony and a myth

funny how earlier i was talking about what makes me happy these days, and now i find myself feeling the exact opposite.

things are about to get nasty. REALLY NASTY. and they say im a good AE.

what makes a good AE?

its not her juggling skills, nor her ability to keep a pleasant face... its her support groups. they are the ones making things happen for the so-called "great AE". without good support groups, she is nothing. if you go straight to the bone of the matter, the solutions dont come from the AE, they come from elsewhere... she is merely there to store knowledge from past experiences... to "parrot" options to whoever is concerned when push comes to shove... it doesnt take any special person to be a good AE. the truth is, a "good AE" is a myth... a ploy to motivate and encourage.

there is no "good AE".. only good support groups.

It's comforting to know noh(?) that people will come through for you when push comes to shove. It helps keep one's sanity.

I strongly feel that you're a good AE (maski hinde ko alam kung paano ka magtrabaho). Pa-humble effect ka lang. :p

Hang in there, and kudos to your support group. :)

I guess in any job... its how you work as a whole team eh, not just an individual. What can a leader do if his support group do not follow him? Your expertise in handling and managing your support groups, your leadership, your organizational skills, and most importantly how you inspire your support group spells a lot of difference. So in that sense, I guess there is a "good AE".
