In the Right Place, In the Wrong Time

Only weeks after landing the job, I told myself, “This is not what I imagined.” Deep thoughts drowned me, and I came to the decision that I should give the opportunity a try, even just for a year. In fact, I made a deal with the devil to ensure my 18 months of stay in the company. Trainings came, and I told myself, “All is well. I’m still young.”

Despite knowing that it’s only natural for an organization to undergo changes, it still came as a shock to me when the sub-teams that will compose the new team department were announced last week. I got transferred, and the job description has become this-is-really-not-what-I-imagined. I know I’m not really supposed to know it beforehand since I won’t be able to do anything about it anyway but… You get the point.

Today’s dinner brought misery upon me. Someone, from the floor which holds the jobs that I think are worth being envied, told me and my teammate how organized and fun their group is. Frustration, in the form of a rusted arrow, shot me in the head as I learned that they are the ones who implement the systems that govern the services the company provides to its subscribers.

Kami-sama, please grant me the strength to move on… By that time, I’ll get back to this post and proofread it. Life is hard, as always. Especially if you’re presenting a dance number tomorrow night.

Cocky Assumptions No More

I really should just focus on m$ney for now. So while I’m at it, cheers!

Edit: Moving on, because time is in a rush, it’s almost weekend again — rest, which is no more different than being a spendthrift. But after all the things I did last week, it’s best to chain myself up in the house this time.

• Thu: Met up with a high school classmate’s mom (free dinner and booze, of course)
• Fri: Dined at Kangaroo Jack with two college buds
• Sat: Chaotic dinner together with all “sociable” high school classmates in Greenbelt
• Sun: Thought-provoking conversation with classmate’s mom
• Mon: Shared a Starbucks coffee with two postgraduate mates and failed to reach 360 in time

Holding on to a job is challenging, if I may say. All I’ve been doing recently is account my wage such that I’d still end up with some savings for recreation and emergency purposes. I have already been seriously considering freelancing, so I won’t let loose of Photoshop and web design (aside from earning extra, mochiron).

Tomorrow’s Wash Day, and I’mma wearin’ my hoody again. (I think I should’ve bought the other size though. ) September’s ending already!?
