Work Vlog: Balancing my 9-5 | Meetings, Goals & Daily Routines | Current Reads | HR Job | ‪@MissOla‬

People dancing in slow motion, blurry eyes, but I've had enough. Good morning and welcome to a new vlog. My name is Jatina for those who don't know. So I'm whispering right now because I have people next door. I just got into the office not too long ago. I was supposed to have a meeting this morning but that got canceled by the manager which is fine. I'm sure something came up that they needed to handle. So that's rescheduled this morning. It's more so like just finishing up some projects that I'm working on. I have an investigation I'm also working on at the moment that I need to get some information for that. I need to follow up with the manager that supports this team that it's happening on. So it's just really a lot of like check-ins that I need to be doing right now. And I have everything on my to-do list of course. So everything goes in here as you guys already know if you've seen some of my other videos. This is literally the only way I can keep track of myself because I literally have dory brain. I will forget if I don't have something to remind me. So this notebook or this planner is best thing I ever did for myself. I had one last year which I think is in here. Yeah I had one last year and it was so useful and I got one for this year as well. So this is definitely something I will be keeping in my like daily work journey because it's just it keeps me on track and it helps me also kind of see where I am throughout the day and what I was actually able to get done. So that's why I love using this as well. It's a good way to like just check off on myself to see where I am. I will put the link down below if you guys are interested. If not that's okay if you have a different way of doing it because I tried doing it through like the teams to do where you can check it off but I found I liked the way I remember things is by writing it down. So I found being able to like write it and physically check it off really does help me a lot because it's just not the same checking off on the computer as it is taking that red pen and crossing out that item for the day. It doesn't do the same for me. So I went right back to my notebook and it just gives me a check. But I do have one particular project I need to do today where benefits enrollment is starting next week on Monday for our company. So they wanted us to put together like a postal board with some of the information of things to just know or remember when completing their enrollment. So I need to go to the store to get supplies for that and complete it. And part of why I want to complete it is because we get a gift card for doing it. I would have done it regardless but the gift card is nice. So that is on my to-do list for today. I'll probably go out and do that in an hour or so after I get some things done. I also have like new hire orientation this afternoon. I do that every Thursday for all our new hires. Sometimes I have three people sometimes it's just one person just to make sure that we're getting to people as soon as they get in. I thought about doing it maybe once a month or every other month every other week but because they need to do their benefits enrollment to avoid incurring like back pay because they're effective their enrollment their benefits is like available to them from day one. So the longer they take to complete their enrollment the more back pays they have to make if they end up waiting the 30 days they would have to pay for all those other weeks prior. So I figured it's just easier get them week one give them all information they need and then they have you know that time to think about it and make that decision and it's not on me. So yeah orientation is in a couple hours. I only have one person this week that started which should be fine. It's always nice having the one-on-one time gives them the opportunity to also ask questions as well and I like that they're not big groups because again everyone sometimes people are just shy so it lets them feel more comfortable to like ask questions or like you know make it more conversational versus me just talking for an hour straight because you'll grow me thirsty. So once that's done I have another meeting with all of my managers for our network myself and my co-worker. We're presenting kind of like a toolkit we put together for them as like a cheat sheet for a lot of the questions they come to us for and documents we constantly have to provide to them. There is like an intranet where they can find all these things or sometimes it's really annoying navigating the website so we figured let's put something together where it's like their go-to before they come to us. Obviously if they need something they can always reach out but like this document I created it in OneNote and this is something I picked up from my last job because we had something like that and it was very useful. So it has like all the policies in there that they use a lot of the times like the common ones. It has like pay code information, contact information, quick information about like benefits, LOA, you know some of the resources that we provide. Those all those things that they typically come to us for we just wanted to put it in that document or in that pile so that's what we're presenting to the managers today and get their feedback see if we're missing anything that we were able to. I just got an email I had someone asking me information because she's retiring so there was a form that needed to be completed and she's saying something's wrong on it so I need to check on that but yeah we're going to present it to them today so that we can just get their feedback because this tool is for them so of course we want to hear what they have to say or what their thoughts are on it or how we can make it better and I was telling my manager like even if they don't use it I'm gonna use it because I find it so useful when people come to me for things or I'm working on something I can easily just like go in there and grab what I need and I've been using it since I created it so worst case scenario I'll be using it for myself but yeah so let's get on with the day all right so let's open her profile to see what's going on here I reached out to our corporate benefits team to see how they wanted us to complete the form and I just kind of filled it out based on what she sent me but I just want to double check since she's saying it's incorrect I should have just double checked to begin with not to say I don't trust our team but sometimes we just miss things I also got pulled over this morning to this week it's just been like a hot mess yesterday my tire has been giving me issues all week so I needed to do that um and then today I got pulled over because my brake light was out I didn't know and what's it called when he ran my information I guess he saw that my registration was expired I didn't know that either so but luckily he was so nice I was obviously just nervous because I'm always just nervous but he asked all the usual questions he was asking for my insurance I didn't have the paper copy so I only had it on my phone I was trying to log on to the app for some reason my app was not recognizing my face so I could log in so I was stressing out for that and I had to keep being like oh my god just give me a second please and he's like no worries but I'm still stressing um but I was finally able to just like pull up the insurance card on the app which I'm happy about when you see that some people have been at their jobs for literally decades it's really good to see it's nice because I know like our generation we just don't we job hop it is what we do but once you find that place it's nice and I think for them it's like nice to see that they did find that place and they stayed and they've just been here forever because we have a lot of those at my company and I think for me this might be it for me too because it just makes sense I never thought I would find a spot where I would just feel like oh my god I can see myself long term here I've never had that this is the first time and I love that for me all right guys so we actually made it back home I know I look a little crazy right now at least on this side because I'm about to do some content but this is what this hair is looking like and I'm trying to really get into like using this mic because I feel like I never use it and I don't know what the sound is going to be giving but I also feel like the hair was covering it so that's why I took it off I honestly don't like it like right um in my clothes so I'm trying it on my earring and I don't know if it's working or not but we're gonna give it a shot uh but we're now home I need to actually get going soon because I'm getting my nails done today this one finally popped off and once one comes off the rest just gotta go so I'm going to my mom's house and she's gonna meet me there Autumn! Bad girl! She's been so excited lately but we're about to go over there I'm gonna go over there because junior or bae wants to be home with her because he feels like he never gets me time with her which whatever but I'm gonna leave her here and then uh we're gonna go get my hair done I think before I leave though not my hair my nails I'm going to dye my hair black because I think I'm actually over this color it makes it difficult when I have my hair colored to do other hairstyles which is the only thing because as much as I actually love this hair color and it's nice for the season it just doesn't mesh well with other things like it makes it difficult for me to switch up styles which that's more important to me than the color so guys how did we end up turning me getting my nails done into like an overnight thing at my mom's we literally are just leaving my mom's place and it's five basically 5 a.m it's 4 54 right now in the morning we were honestly just hanging out it was me and the girls but it was a good time and then we were also watching um what's it called the circle so we're trying to finish that as well but I'll show you guys my nails properly when I get home I would feel like you can't really see it right now but I'll show you guys in the morning because I am exhausted people dancing in slow motion blurry eyes but I've had enough it's time to say goodbye good morning so it is currently Wednesday and I don't think I've gotten on here since I went to get my nails done which was last Friday I've just been I don't know living life I guess but we're on our way to work now and why did I oversleep this morning I'm literally I feel like the more sleep I get the more tired I am in the morning which is so backwards because it was and could be the other way around I feel like you guys need to see this because this is absolutely stunning the view right now um you missed all the good parts but yeah I was saying that I forgot what I was saying yeah I overslept because I got more sleep than usual which is like oh I'm gonna wake up so refreshed I'm gonna feel so good baby the alarm rang I turned it off and I don't know when I close my eyes again I literally woke up because my body you know your body just starts telling you you're getting a suspicious amount of sleep yeah it was tapping me wake the hell up and by the time I check the time I literally had 30 minutes to get ready and leave the house and take the dog outside so she could use the bathroom I was just like oh my god um but we thank god anyways because I still woke up imagine I had woken up and it was like 10 or 11 or even who knows like halfway through the day already that would have been terrible we thank god anyways but I'm about to get to the office today is kind of like a meeting day it's a jam-packed meeting day actually thinking about my calendar this morning yesterday was kind of a busy meeting day too but this week is just one of those weeks I don't know I feel like it was very calm last week but this week definitely a lot of things on my calendar and not like bad things like I'm dealing with issues or anything just regular operational stuff that we need to do they all just happen to like fall on this week which is fine I don't mind meeting days they just sometimes feel long or they can help make it feel fast really depends how you look at it I came to Panera for lunch when I tell you the day's gotten away from me literally gotten away from me um it's currently 12 22 I need to make it and back for a 12 30 meeting so I'm literally like on the run but I needed to come now because I won't have a break again I literally have back-to-back meetings until like four so I needed to get lunch now since I didn't pack any from home which I was supposed to do but since we overslept there was no time for any of that I got a chicken not chicken I got a broccoli chowder with grilled cheese sandwich they're so good the combo oh I'm already thinking about and it sounds so good thank you make sure it's all in there and now we run can you hear me like a shiver all the shadows fade away all your streets are empty lights begin to sway I wake this morning it's finally Friday I'm so happy and I'm just like now that it's getting colder and colder every morning it's harder and harder and harder and harder to get up in the morning like literally just don't want to get out from under the blanket you know even when like TMI or whatever but when you wake up in the morning sometimes because you have to go pee that's what wakes you up like your body's just like I gotta go even then I don't want to get up until I absolutely have to because I'm just like I'm too cozy in this spot right now and I don't want to get out you guys can't really see my face because the sun's just doing something one Starbucks but I also want the um breakfast sandwich from McDonald's I'm gonna stop at McDonald's and then possibly Starbucks and then we're gonna make it to the office and wrap up all our tasks for this week because I definitely have things that are pulled over from the past two days but honestly the past this week was we're just like at least Tuesday so the time to do actual work was kind of like slow but that's okay because today I don't have any meetings so I can literally get everything I need to do done I have some documents I need to get back to managers I have a few things I need to renew I have some follow-ups I need to do as well and I have like changes to make to some profiles I've got a few things I need to get so that's the plan and hopefully we leave today like and no new things come up that part um no can I get the number two um no drink just a sandwich and um hash brown anything else uh no thank you sure thank you depression good morning thank you what a day next stop Starbucks I picture how I've been in Shanghai I didn't even get to touch base with you guys but it's currently like 11 18 but we made it to the office I'm still drinking the same ice cup I'm one of those people that I will literally be drinking this cup the whole day and my friends always laugh at me because they're like it's basically water which is true but it's because they didn't make it right today but we've got a lot of things done off the checklist today which I'm very happy about I still have a few that need to get done so we're gonna work on that I will show you guys my outfit because I got um some of these pieces from H&M the other day and I love them I don't know why I have these little bow clips on here I just thought they were cute I found it in my bag and I'm like why not I'm chilling but we're gonna get back to work so we can be done and I'm ready to go home and one of the great things about some of these documents is especially when it's a write-up it's typically the same issue when it has to do with the same employee so you can always go back and see the format that was used for the initial one and then just edit that version to match the most recent events unless it's the first offense then it takes more work but otherwise I love being able to just go back and grab what I need I need to focus because I am on a roll right now I finally made it home for the weekend I'm so happy to be home my phone is going off for some reason my little sister made spaghetti for the first time I guess and she's so excited about it so cute this is what she made I don't know if you guys can see it because this thing isn't moving but this is it I'm like good job I know she's about to devour that meal but we're finally home I got this candle and it smells so so good I asked her what was perfect for the fall and this was the one she recommended it's called Terra and it's Palo Santo plus wood I don't know what Palo Santo is but whatever it is smells amazing I've had it here for about a week I think and I'm just now turning it on but it smells divine and I love that the case or the container it comes in it's literally made out of clay and of course it had to be green so perfect but I'm about to make some noodles and probably just do like a girl dinner because I don't feel like cooking anything major right now I literally want to have like a lazy evening do I have wine so I did a little shopping on my way home um I stopped at the mall and picked up some things from H&M because I just honestly needed some new pants because your girl has gained a low winter weight so nothing fits properly and I think all the pants that I actually have are all old and they just don't fit right because I definitely need to lose some weight at this point I got this top it's like a knitted button-up and it's so nice and soft I needed stuff for like the fall that would just be cute for work but I can still wear it out if I wanted to and it's like a quarter sleeve which is fine by me and it just looks really really good I got this tweed style type of pants they look really really nice they're like flared all the way down I literally got the same pants in like three colors so I got this one I also got it in this color which I like very much and then I also got in this color which is what I wore today this one I got it in my old size so it's a little snug around the waist but I can't be bothered to return it so we're just gonna keep it the rest the other two I got a size up I got this button-up like crop top that I thought was really cute as well like if I wanted to wear it with work to work I could just throw on a tank top underneath and throw this right over that's like one of those pants and it would look super super cute but yeah I'm gonna change and then we're gonna go make noodles I've put on one of my favorite pajamas I need to get some more pajamas though for sure because I have a lot of silk pajamas and I'm really realizing I don't like silk pajamas I like this material whatever this is from target and the cotton ones just feel so much better to sleep in and I also need to get new slippers because I've had these forever and they're giving out on me now okay why do you look what are you doing she always looks so suspicious to me what are you doing you being a bad girl over here huh she's just happy to be like with someone what happened all right so it's definitely time for the makeup to come off and that's what we're about to do now I've been using the Neutrogena face wipes to do my makeup I bought the makeup balm or whatever they're called the makeup cleansing balm and I don't think you guys saw this one and it's nice but I feel like I need to get that padding or that cotton thingy to remove the makeup because right now I feel like I'm wasting products because I use the balm and then I use the wipes which I feel like defeats the whole purpose look at your face it looks better right yeah keep doing that routine your face looks great all right we are pretty much done and you can see how moisturized my face actually looks through this camera of this one dark spot right here that's just whatever but face is clean now it's time to go get fed hi guys so we are having a pretty chill night this evening I am having a nice glass of wine right here and this is the what's it called something the roses it had a really cute bottle and like a rose shaped bottom that's why I bought it not even because I knew the wine whether it was good or not I have no idea but the bottle was pretty so I bought it the wine is actually not bad but the bottle you can actually reuse it for other things like juice water whatever you want to put in it so I'm keeping it for that and it was only like 15 polish I think I also got a new book which is this one right here it's called when love visits it's by a Nigerian author her name is comfort um I'm over it I'm all free yeah I think but this is literally the tiniest book I've ever seen because why is it literally the size of my freaking hand it's so tiny I feel like I've only seen like bibles this little but this is actually super cute because I can fit it into like my little small purses I haven't started reading it yet I ordered it on Amazon I think yesterday and it literally came this evening so I'll probably start this tonight I have one that I'm still reading but I'm not loving it but I'm kind of like forcing myself to finish it because I will not let a book best me I will finish that book because one I spent money on it and I hate to just have books sitting on there that I haven't finished and I still have like maybe two more tbrs that I need to finish as well but I really wanted this one after seeing it and I don't think I've ever read a book by a Nigerian author and it's a romance novel I love a good romance novel it says a well-intended art to take you on a whirlwind romantic journey so I hope it does um I don't really know what it's about too much but I'll let you know guys know I guess when I finish it um but yeah I'm also like loving my hair at the moment I did it myself yesterday and I love it and the skin is flourishing because I've been getting facial facials and I started a new skin care um product and I think it's doing the job this is lifting a little bit but it's okay anywho let's get on with it I'm loving I'm loving this egg chair by the way it's so freaking comfortable me and Autumn just sit here and chill usually she's sitting next to me but she knocked out so we put her in her bed but this thing is literally so so comfortable and I'm so happy I got it it doesn't even feel like I'm in my house but it's amazing they have a tiny version of it for like little kids and I low-key want to get that for Autumn because she has fully hijacked this one so I think I might get her the baby ones and see if she'll sit in there I'd just be annoyed if I get it and she doesn't sit on sit in it and still hijacks this one but I think she'll use it because she just loves anything that's comfy and we're on the same vibe so we'll see if I end up getting one for her city hi guys so I think I am wrapping up this vlog and somebody's interrupting my video over there but anywho and then we have Autumn over there hijacking my chair because apparently it's hers now and I think I'm gonna get her a little mini one because I've seen they have the small versions for like kids and I'm really tempted to get her one she's too cute I can't but anyways that is it don't forget to like comment and subscribe and I'll see you guys in the next video
