Light Year

Monday: February.8.2010

Arrived at the office at six in the morning. Served as the Team Leader's assistant on the floor. Workload was heavy for the agents so I tried to volunteer. The Team Leader hesitated. I guess there's an unwritten rule among officers to avoid doing the job of the agents. Or maybe I wasn't insistent enough. Nevertheless, when the Team Leader had to take her break, I took charge of the floor. Everything was fine. I was able to handle the agents well. Left the building at past two in the afternoon.

At quarter to three, I went to the gym to work out. Learned that my weight dropped five pounds in just one week.

Four O'Clock. Went home to get some sleep.

Six Thirty in the evening. Watched the news on the Kapamilya Network. Tired of politics, I switched to Cartoon Network instead.

Eight Thirty: Went back to the office for the 10 pm teleconference.

Past Eleven: Teleconference ends. The boss dropped me several blocks from the building where I could take a jeep going home.

Tuesday: February.9.2010

Midnight. Wrote a blog entry about the top 100 most handsome pinoy bloggers while resolving a misunderstanding with an old friend. Ties that were thought strained were reaffirmed.

Past Two Thirty. Logged out from the internet. Prayed before going to sleep.

Woke up at eight in the morning. Took some time to prepare for work. Laziness struck, I arrived at the office at past 9.

Spent eight hours reading emails from clients, responding to blog comments and chatting with friends over Meebo.

2:30. Meeting with supervisors from the afternoon shift. Learned that my boss supports my presidential candidate.

6:00 Exhausted and mentally fatigued, left the office to rush some errands at Recto. Arrived at Isetann before eight. Was able to find an optical shop to get my eyeglasses fixed. A screw went missing and it needed an immediate replacement. The whole procedure lasted five minutes. After paying twenty pesos for the service, the shop finally closed.

I walked all the way from Recto to Carriedo to find a Chinese Drugstore. Needed a new menthol stick for the one I've been using is almost gone. Learned that all Chinese Drugstores close at seven. Disappointed, I went to my next objective which was to find a street vendor selling cheap gym gloves. I found one and bought a new pair for 100 pesos. The gym gloves are expected to last until next month.

I arrived home at past nine.

Told my mom I'd be doing double shift. I would have to be at work by six in the morning and return for the graveyard shift at 10 in the evening. Before I could elaborate my very busy schedule, she asked if I could take over her class at three. She has a meeting with the chairman of her department and nobody will facilitate the examinations for her class. I turned down her request explaining my situation. Also, I told her about my near-empty Menthol Stick. Getting some vibes that I might reconsider should I get hold of my urgent need, mom said she hasn't used hers. It's the one I bought several months ago. She offered it and to express my gratitude, I reversed my decision and agreed to facilitate her prelims exam tomorrow.
