Hello mahal ko.

Naku nakakaloka sa store. 🙄 Alam mo ba, gusto ako pag straight duty ni Maam Jean? Opening to closing? Duh. Di talaga ako pumayag. Nag excuse nalang ako na magkikita kami nila mommy kunwari sa Legazpi. Hehe. Normal day as usual. Nagpunta ako sa hepa St nung pagkaout ko, bumili ako ng tilapia na inihaw, ung fave natin lovey 😙

I am already hired, and again, different department, although related naman sya sa Human Resources, and I think it might be a good experience naman.

Hanggang ngayon, hindi pa nagsisink-in na may work na ako; hindi ako excited, hindi ako masaya. Naiisip ko nga, ang galing ko talaga magpanggap, na kaya ko, na okay lang, na masaya ako. Lahat ng mga taong nakapaligid sakin, ang saya nila for me pero bakit di ko mafeel? Ibang iba nung nalaman ko na natanggap ako sa Starbucks, kasi gusto ko un work. Yung masaya ako pauwi, excited din ako sa work ko. Ngayon hindi ko mafeel yon.

Pero ganito un feeling ko non sa Coca-Cola, ayoko talaga pumasok dun sa totoo lang, palagi ko kasi naririning na hindi maganda mag-OJT dun, pero it was the best and most fun experience for me. Nag-enjoy ako na umabot sa extent na ayoko pa umalis at dun nalang ako mag-OJT forever jk 😭🤣

Sana it'll be the same with the latter; kahit na ganito feeling ko, mag-eenjoy ako after. Kasi it is mostly near sa personality ko, being part of it might be really beneficial on me, as a person and a professional. Maganda din naman un company (at mukhang maayos ang mga supervisors and managers).

Hay. Hindi siguro talaga kaloob ni Lord na pumasok ako sa HR Department, and I wonder why. I mean, ilang months yata ako nag-apply, all the exams and interviews doesn't make it. Sobrang lutang ako every interview, hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko, etc. pero kahapon para akong sinaniban eh. Tapos I miraculously passed the exams, di talaga ako makapaniwala. He moves in a lot of mysterious ways, hindi mo alam kung san at pano nangyari ang isang bagay.

Pero ayun, medyo sad talaga ako, pero diba nga, kung ano ang plano ni Lord, yon ang magpprevail.

Tinanggap ko na rin un work, kasi sa totoo lang, nabubulok na ako sa bahay, nanghihinayang ako sa oras ko, ayoko na maghanap ng work at pumasok ulit sa maraming interviews, at exams. Suko na ako. Kaya, kinuha ko na un opportunity. Hindi na rin naman masama kasi very related pa rin sa HR un work. Pwede ko magamit someday (pero feeling ko hindi din kasi mag-aasawa na ako char).

I was telling a call taker about how hard it is to find people to talk with in the morning.  She starts telling me about how hard it is to be a call taker and how they’re just human and how I have to be patient and try to understand.

No, I don’t.  That’s not my job.  They’re the ones getting paid for doing their job.  She’s expecting more out of me than herself and anyone else there.

Then she tells me that this call is voluntary, that I can choose not to call.  What a childish, petulant thing to say.  But I’ve talked with her before and she was the same.  I wasn’t surprised.

They hire a lot of privileged, elitist and petulant people at that line.

She tells me that I can place a boundary around these call is they’re not helping.  Well duh, Captain Obvious.  Of course I can hang up.  And maybe I should have. 

But instead I tried to patiently explain why I’m trying to get the call line to be better.  Because it would really help me out.

When I told her that there are people who are super helpful on the line, she stopped talking for a second and started to listen.  It shouldn’t have taken that.  Listening should be the default.  But I guess I should give some credit that she got a little less petulant.

Then she told me she was a supervisor.  Then she told me that she would work hard to make things better.  I don’t know how she would since she’s not very good at this herself.
