Ms. Z and Her Zest for Work

Today I had a very animated talk with Ms. Zeny.  She's the technical consultant of our company and a very dedicated quality control practitioner.  

My appreciation for the printing ink industry continues because of really interesting people like her.  She again explained to me the flow of the process and all the nitty gritty details that one needs to consider when working in this industry.  But what I noted specifically interesting today was how she keeps on repeating her very special ability of being aware of a lot of things all at once.  She says it's easy for her to remember a whole lot of detail which makes her contribution to the company really significant.  The conversation moved on to her highly photographic memory when she told me that she easily memorizes car plates and told me, "Yours ends with 555 right?"

I was surprised because I've never seen her anywhere in the parking lot whenever I come to work and I asked her how she knew.  She said with a cheeky grin, "Well, it's because yours is the newest car in the parking lot and it's there everyday!  So I concluded that it must be yours. Simple as that."    

Now that remark just made me laugh.  It was so innocent but then it made real sense!  She then went on to share with me her routine every morning which was an hour of prayer with several portions.  There was the spontaneous prayer.  The Rosary (all 15 decades).  And daily readings reflection.  

Her good natured disposition captivated me that it really made me realize how simple it can be to do a good job and keep a healthy work environment.  

So here I am trying to keep up with all the things I need to learn about the new job and found a really interesting video that somehow summarizes everything I've learned this week.
