Stepping Down

Down down down her level... yes! I don't friggin care! I'm sure you'll do the same if you were in my shoes! Fine! Maybe... just maybe... If I brought my phone with me in my room, there's that possibility that I answered that friggin call and agreed.... okay! so I am assuming that the call was from someone I work with, but who couldn't, given the circumstance. But before that....

An Update to what had happened during the first day of the year. . . . . . .
Yes, there's still no product, still encountered tons of customer complains, but the highlight of that day was that I worked for 2 shifts!!! I was the Opener and at the same time closer! Imageyn! all by myself ang drama!

However, good thing our rm told me things which I'd say wasn't really crystal clear but I guess understandable. Maybe my additional hours will be counted after all. I hope so.

The following day which was supposed to be my restday was duty day again. One of mah bosses asked a favor coz she's not feeling well, and nice person as I am of course instantly said the magic word. This time I expected our products to arrive as told by the bosses,.. bottomline: another disappointing day.

Back to the down down down thing. Let's put it this way,.. would you help a person who not only didn't try to help you when you were in need but also secretly wished she's not in your position?!? and is maybe laughing deep inside, okay! so maybe not laughing, she might even felt a bit of sympathy but that's it! Just sympathy when in fact she can do something about it! Maybe a bit of empathy will do,, and by empathy I mean... acting on her own without anybody (of higher authority) telling her what she should do. Okay! so maybe she received a bad news, but HELLOOOOoo!!!!! We've agreed on that even before the opening! That was one of the reasons why the Boss called for a meeting.

Now I've realized that I should put all the things into writing,, you know, just in case everyone inadvertently or intentionally forget.

Happy New Year!!!

2013. Happy New Year! Oh the IRONY!!!!

What a way to END 2012 and START 2013!

My December 31, 2012:

woke up at around 6AM.
arrived at work at around 8:05 only to find out that the key I brought with me wasn't the right one, so I had no choice but to call someone I know who has the right key. Obvious kaayo na bag-o pa xa mata... I owe him one!
closed an area kay gabaha coz ga-leak ang freezer and buntag sayo pa gani customer complain na bcoz naai foul odor and there's nothing I can do about it unless I'm a professional plumber, which of course am not.
Found out na daghan products ang wala,.. at least back-up plan was to buy from a nearby mall/supermarket.
Wanmelyon Customer Complain... ano pa ba ang bago!
Muntik na straight akong duty Opener-Closer!
I thought day off na naku tomorrow kay gpa-pili ko whether I'll work on 31 or 1... yun pala I'll work on both days! Imageyn!!! wtf kaayo!!! Maypag wala ko gipa-pili!!! nagexpect tuloy ko.... nagpa-appointment pa ko ug massage!
Extend na naman ng bongga...
Naluoy si my former RM and nagpahiram ug products....
Kaya pa man nako antoson ang everything..... then... nakasakay naku si BFF ni hatest and also one of my hates....
Ang saveh pah, with matching smile. "nagwork naka? (nod) ako nagschool pa. aha diay ka nagwork? (eyed on my shirt) aii mcdo. Unsa gani imong course? rehas man diay ta finance noh! hahaha... bangko man ko.. di ko ganahan anang mga ing.ana"

I thought I'm past that phase nah! Hindi pa pala! SHIT lang!!! pwede muhilak inxegeda!!! Do I look like I love this job? Do I look like I enjoy my work e.g. handling complains, busing tables, and other stuffs na maka-degrade ug morale?!?! It's not my fault that I'm tooooo fat, toooo ugly, and toooo dull to work sa bank...
Forgot the key so I had to return to the store ASAP kay mag-close nah,, no choice but to get a cab... wanmelyon bayaran...

January 1, 2013... FIRST new year na g.tulugan nako! now that's something I'll definitely never forget. Rest assured that this year is really something.... something TERRIBLE!

Rest of the shift?? It's for me to find out....

A-what?-A-Clown?

Seriously? Do I really pique people's interest? What am I? Some newly discovered science specimen! For Pete's sake (whoever Pete is,.. , I feel sorry for him,, unless he's enjoying the exposure),, I am not some mutant nor some clown for your entertainment! Can't I be just me? Normal... I am normal? Am I? Oh! C'mon people! What's wrong with your eyes?!? I wasn't born to amuse you!! Not to mention, above everything else, that it's FREE!!!! I'm already contented being like an air,, invisible yet very essential. What? You can't help but notice my sort-of ordinariness with a bit of an extra injected to it?

I get it! You probably haven't met yet someone like me.. but of course! There's only ONE ME in this entire universe! Only ONE RHEAN... the amazing, the legendary, the awe-inspiring MOI . I only come once in every century, or dynasty as they used to say. Consider yourself blessed enough to have met ME.

Yep. I get that sometimes.... quite often actually... Fine!! A lot!!! Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Stick around a bit longer and you'll see. Consider yourself SURPRISED!

PS: ma.anad ra ka! hahahaha.... I'm such a good company xp libre talent fee sa pagka.clown! asdfghjkl >.<
