20 days to go

Friday, May 26th, 2006

I can’t believe it… 10 days ago, I passed my resignation letter. in 20 more days, I’ll be out of the company.. I’ll be a bum. I WILL BE FREE!

Yes, after 4 years and 6 months of working, I’ll be leaving the company. I have a lot of reasons for resigning but mainly, I am tired of working like this. I need a break. I have no regrets, no further plans yet but I have a lot to be thankful for.

After graduating last November 2001, I was immediately hired by Sykes to be part of the bravocool batch of the butterfly. I didn’t realize working would be fun, especially if you’re with good friends. I met my best friends, knought and cathee. The Kelots and the Bebots of this batch were (and still are) the coolest peeps! None of us ever thought that after 3 years of sharing this bond, a relationship will bloom.. ayan na ang joe-maya love team!
Anyway, I won’t be able to buy a car, a tv, a cellphone.. and all those stuff without working my a$$ off in this job. It’s not just the money I am thankful for.

I’m even more thankful, I got to be with more friends after i got promoted to Level 2… those are Helfdesk peeps.  Through thick and thin, we were all there for each other. This kind of job was the job I was looking for and I never left it…. even if there were other opportunities (TM openings we ignored, MBS job offers we declined), we stayed there.  We were one big happy family. Unfortunately, it left us when the butterfly died.

So, a demotion at "Buscar" got me to be with the Wave 8 peeps. So smart, kulit but sweet.. most of them call me "ate maya" even if the others are older than me. I’ll miss this young batch of peeps I got to be with.

As of now, I’m planning to take some rest and make sure I’ll be losing weight. My neuro told me I’m so stressed out. I guess this is the best thing I could do to take care of myself.

Another thing that added much to my stress level is losing my wallet.. big deal, huh? should be. To whoever got my wallet in the 25th floor cr at 5:30 in the morning of May 22,2006.. that was big time. spend big bucks, but be considerate enough to return my SSS ID, PRC ID, medical prescriptions, and receipts. I believe in Karma and the Wiccan three-fold law

Ever mind the Rule of Three,
        Three times what thou givest returns to thee.
        This lesson well, thou must learn,
       
The only gets what thou dost earn!

As for my career, as much as possible, I don’t want to take calls anymore and be in a job which will require night shifts. Most probably, not a call-center career anymore… but what’s left?
