Nomad JuanCa's Report

Oh yeah... 2007
Guess what? This 2007 offers to be a year full of surprises.... and not all of them are good.
1. The Alegro PCS store at Mall del Sol (a big shopping centre) was stolen. They lost about 20,000 USD yep. like you hear. Now police is making a investigation, but there are rumours that Alegro Heads will fire everybody at that store (it means about 10 to 12 people) cause there was no damage on doors or stuff like that, so someone from inside must be involved.
2. I was thinking in that when i got a phone call from accountant of Alegro PCS, she said "Juan Carlos, why do you send me a report on Dec 18th for 871 USD and you make the saving only for 781 USD? you are missing 100 USD". I said... what?. I got trembling, cause i know Alegro PCS procedures, that is enough to be fired. Then i though...mmm.. it might be that i mistyped the report or miscounted, i told her and she said "No, i validate all the invoices one by one, the report you sent in fact is right, but you are saving less money" I told her... ok, give me 5 mins to check and i will call you back. I hanged up, i was alone at the store only with the client service guy... i called him and told him, Gary i need you to help me, there are invoices in that box let's find those from Dec 18th and we have to check them. I was also looking for the copy of the report and i though... what happened... i was like crazy, shocked... and was repeating to myself, there must be a reason, there must be a reason, there must be a reason. And i found the reason, i found the copy of my report... it was right, 871usd, signed by the man who collects the money. Just in that moment i got the phone call from the accountant again asking what happened, i answered: Well, you are right, the report says 871 USD, i counted the invoices again and it is right. I don't know what happened cause i always send the money right. Another thing i have my report signed by the collector, if i would have given him less money it should be reflected in his documents as well since he notes everything i deliver to him and i sign it. do you have the doc there?. She said no, but i will get it. She called me 10 mins after (there were lot LOT of phone calls that day...) and said "you are right, the doc from collector says you gave him 871 USD but the saving is wrong". I was so in shock yet that i asked "what does it means?". She said "He saved 100 usd less. Damn i noticed it same day, but i was too busy to call you and i note it but i just remembered today. And worst is that this man does not work for the company who makes collections anymore". I knew a big problem was coming. It arrived soon. She reported it to Quito, to Alegro headquarters, to the company that works for Alegro making the collecting of values.. off course they said i was wrong. The accountant called me several times that day, i told all the guys in the store cause i knew the news would come fast. Everybody told me to stick to my word, the report was right and it was signed.
To say true, i don't remember what happened that day... and that has been my nightmare these days, in his report the amount is right, it was signed by me... but he says i gave him the wrong saving.
What i dislike the most is the doubt it causes about me, i hate it. I don't remember that day but i know something for sure. I have never taken any money from Alegro store, also.. i have never done any mistakes with the accounting of the store after the first delay i had, cause i knew the eyes of the accountant were on me... so it would have been silly from me to take 100 usd. Also... after 2 years working for Alegro.... i finally get promoted... why should i ruin it taking 100 usd??? Plus, why to send a correct report and save less money?? it was obvious they would notice it sooner or later. Also if this man says i gave him the wrong money.. why didn't he report it? he knew the accountant would notice it. and also... if i did give him the money wrong why he never asked me about it again? cause he knew there was no reason, cause i haven't done anything wrong.
It all makes no sense, but i still have to convince all that i am not guilty. Next week the people from the company where this man worked are coming to meet me and ask me things. I hate this all, but i have to face it to proof i am innocent. If you ask me... these are too many troubles for only a month. I don't know why i have to face so many troubles all the time, why can't i have a calmed life?. Why can't i simply be successful like the people on TV that are happy all the time without troubles??
Plus i am sick, my throat is in pain and i cannot even speak much, i am taking medicin but still it is bothering me... i have fever today and i am home alone, there is no medicin for fever home... fuck.... why? why all this? it gets me so tired.... live feels so hard today. ... i feel lonely.. sad and lonely.
I know it is a test... and i know i have to learn something out of this, to be humble and let my actions speak louder than my voice, not to trust others, to trust myself and my principles and actions more. I know it is a test.. but Lord... you are putting lot of weight on me these days... this have been an exhausting month, working 12 to 13 hours 7 days a week... with few money, too many troubles, i don't even have the money to go back to the University and the classes starts this monday.... i don't know what do you want... but you are involving me in too many troubles at the same time. i am feeling tired... help me out please.

Que fue Juanca! A veces este tipo de experiencias nos hacen reflexionar y descubrirnos a nosotros mismos. Recuerda que mucha gente que actualmente es muy exitosa fueron victimas de las adversidades o de situaciones dificiles, que hacen desarrollar la creatividad y buscar otras cosas. Tu entiendes de tu propia vida que yo jeje pero trata de ver opciones, de buscar contactos, de ver que cosa puedes cambiar de lo que estas haciendo ahorita o de las situaciones en las que estas, de esa forma podrás tener menos estrés y disfrutar más de la vida :D
Juanca, se que ha sido un mes de locos, que no le ves final a las cosas, que viene una detras de otra y sientes a veces ganas de "tirar la toalla" pero en esos momentos yo recuerdo una cita que le gusta mucho a mi esposa:
"There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm."
Willa Cather (1873 - 1947)
Tranquilo que todas las tormentas pasan y luego de las mismas solo queda el ¿Cómo la afrontaste? y ¿Qué aprendiste? así que tranquilo hermano, que en todo trabajo hay sus momentos de locura donde todos te tratan de acuchillear por la espalda y algunos donde se puede descansar y disfrutar los resultados obtenidos; solo hay que saber afrontar los retos de cada momento.
Que todo salga bien,
Rafa
