Sum times

Went through the job description again.

Earlier, I received the call for the interview schedule. I was sleeping and found myself agreeing to whatever schedule was given.

Reached the office to find out that it was cancelled.

Fine.

I think I am just being lured by the title and possible salary raise. Other than that, I don't see any other appeal.

Typical.

Work Life Myth Balance

The BPO industry has one of the highest turnover rates --- no figures to quote here but case in point would be in an average training class of 24, before the 6 months are up, chances are, over 15 of them would have quit.

Luci said that based on what he read, it's because people would eventually want to get a life.

Albeit, not through homicide as I sometimes have to squelch this urge to go berserk in the presence of non-role models (aka walking horrible warnings)

I said that work life balance is a something that can be found right next to the Loch Ness Monster, the yeti and Megan Fox's acting talent.

It's going to be a win win situation --- Party if I don't get the post, Party if I do get the post.

F work life balance.

5:30 AM

I was trudging through the ugly pink and blue overpass that covered a long span of Quezon avenue. Above my head was the lightening sky and the rumble of a passing train.

6:00 AM

The scheme that involved orange cones and yellow lines along SLEX is working. The traffic is not that goddamned horrendous compared to the past months. The air is still crisp as humidity was just about to rev up.

7:30 AM

Bought some legumes for lunch. You told me before to ask P for vegetarian recipes. A couple of nights before I saw the first few minutes of Mira Nair movie. September 06 is your date and I promised you a thousand candles in my favorite church.

Guddamnit

I'm not much of a TV viewer...or a movie viewer... I'd like to say that I pretty much stay stuck inside my head mostly while reading a book and listening to some obscure band.

I can even say that I am not a hardcore fan of anything (hardcore like ready to maim anybody for claiming anybody/anything is far more superior that anybody/anything or west coast vs east coast. Oh please) I mean, I heart Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson but I am not about to go all icepick over them.

But why...why was CS Origins replaced with the SciFi Channel?! Where else can I watch the latest season (?) of Bones?

David Boreanz (I think I got the spelling wrong here, Irate, go ahead and correct me) and Emily Deschanel. Brains on Beauty and Brawn.

Unfair.

SkyCable...you suck!

Hell Is Other People

Oh you may call yourself a manager but the only thing you have mostly done is manage people out. In fact, we should start calling you the Patron Saint of Forced Resignation. You and your boss should stick together and create a regulatory board that enforces the theory of bad managing. You, along with your former VP are the thesis of laying siege on a department. In Dante's Inferno, you will be the one holding the pitchforks.

And yes, dear colleague, it's called being bitter and griping. Sometimes, I wonder why I ever saw you as someone better than me. It's not a degree in writing. It's a degree in WHINING.

Some people are just really....stupid.

Finally Saying GoodNight and Go.

It was the question that was hanging over our heads across the Pacific.

Me: "May I ask you a question?"
V : "Please"
Me : " Is there anybody waiting for you back home (other than your family and friends, haha)?
*long pause*
V : "Yes"

It hurt to breathe for a good couple of days.

Say Goodnight and Go V.
