happy anniverstruggle
A Special Toast For Our First Anniverstruggle !
……………….
I guess that’s the best greetings I can give to my batch out of an entire 365 days here in Western WATS.
Struggling to wake up as early as 1:00 am, struggling to open friendster daily, struggling not to dial, struggling to get a day-off, struggling for a half-day option, struggling to be absent, struggling for a break, and a whole lot of struggle. Can you imagine how much struggle we intrepidly face and invest in this job??
Seriously now, we started 25 in numbers at the beginning of the game and now we’re 17 survivors left for the 1 million dollars. Anton, my carpool, is now practicing his profession as an engineer in Mactan Airport, Jade has left for Dubai? (I think) with her fiance, Mylene has found another job she’s happier, daddy Orland is now in Manila, Ross is in FairChild also practicing her profession as an engineer, Mona is now training to become a pilot, and the mightiest of them all is my partner in crime Joje now currently nursing rude, mean and a few nice whites and blacks in Chicago, Illinois, beat that!!
Now, we people left are dissipated to different departments. Seven are still in wire b2c, but two of them are NOP b2c trainees, six of us are already NOP b2c
and that counts me in, and four are in b2b.
Several significant, unexpected as well as unlikely occurences and wondrous things took event. We have there the second babies of Maan and Mich who just by the way gave to a healthy baby boy, the carpool ado’s, mommy Rose becoming a supervisor, JC finding romance inside our workplace, Jenny finding romance with Dolly’s nephew and her mirthless miscarriage, and the feuds amongst us especially Joje and Jane’s swimmingly they came to terms with it before Joje left for Chicago.
Of all the things that transpired I especially cherish those days when we go gimmicking in The Village, dining in AA’s BBQ, taking the half-day options and either going to a beach or nibling in Jollibee,
our mallings and most of all the friendship formed that which made our batch extra-amazing.
It has really been a year, Gosh!!!

left in nothingville
Wake up at 3 a.m. I didn’t go to work, had a stomach upset. Decided to watch DVDs. Finished watching around 8:38 a.m. Tried going back to sleep but I can’t. The weather is hot it’s making me sweat. So I got up and mixed some fiber drink.
As I’m preparing my breakfast …lonely thoughts are flashing on my head. I can’t think clearly. I can’t organize my thoughts. I don’t know what’s right to write. I’m writing my journal by the way.
I’m starting to feel solitude and boredom in my job. My batch is jumbled. Some are on the B2B shift. Some and I are in NOP B2C. Some are on WIRE. Some of my close friends in NOP are in UK shift.
Joje is leaving for Chicago on the 12th. Lots of veteran agents I know of have gone. Some are planning to leave. Some others are preparing for Dubai job interview which includes me. But I’m still thinking twice on leaving. It’s gonna be tough. I love Philippines, I love Cebu! ‘There’s no place like home’ is a cliche I know but it’s an honest one.
My ship of friendship is unloading each of my chums them heading to a life and career destined for them. And I’m about to be left in nothingville.
I’ve been through a lot of emotional strugggle especially of parting ways. But I got to overcome all the negative psyches and began embarking to a new pilgrim. I just wish I could have this fast forward coz it’s amazingly driving me crazy!

much ado about nothing
Such a relaxing day!
I’m not dialing since the start of the shift and it’s now 4am, 2 and a half hours to go before we end the shift.
I have written 2 testimonials for two of my friends and I might add another one after this blog.
I’ll be having 3 additonal friends coz I invited them.
Everybody are sleeping here except for a few ones.
end of fuss… heller!!!
It rained a little hard btw this evening, was wet when I got in the office.
Like it this way… hope it will stay as it is until the shift ends.
It’s so cold here in Maine.
Don’t like the food served in the cafeteria for breakfast, the filling of the meatroll is not good and the macaroni sauce taste just as bad as a tummy ache, cheese made it taste better though.
I’ve searched all the lyrics I’m looking for and I’ve saved them in my multiply account. As well as one of the poems I kept.
It’s kinda sad coz I was moved from Kansas to Maine because people are dialing omnitel here. Cathy and I are away again with each other, happens a lot of times.

for a day…
For a day I’m glad that we are not dialing for so long. I think we only dialed for less than an hour. We’ve been dialing a lot since the past days that it gave me sore at one point. Well, thank you Lord for a day of rest at work.
Since we’ve been doing nothing today, I was able to give out testimonials here in friendster to some of my friends, I hope they’ll make one for me too as soon as possible. I was as well able to look for some of the lyrics I’m looking for and have it copied in my multiply account. And, I was able to start making a soft copy of the inspirational stories and materials that I have collected and to which I’ve been dying to create into a book since 2003.
My brain has been very lazy since I started working here in Western WATS so I think now is the right time to make my brain get into working and learning again new insights and additional knowledge so when I go back to school I’m more than prepared with a reserved power.
For a day I’m glad I did something!
