midweek rants

+ Some people just DON'T get it +
Not surprisingly, the nature of my job escapes most people, especially people who are NOT inclined to what i do. I have been given a notice regarding my so-called work hours, reprimanding me for being late most of the time and yes, unable to perform well because of this. I just DO NOT get it. My work entails on-call jobs, tedious work of designing and implementation (not just click-clicking of buttons, hello!!!) and most of the time, manual labor (i.e., those 5 thousand boxes i need to make before the christmas season starts), not to mention logistics and follow-ups on printers, etc. SHEESH. I cannot understand that my tardiness (which i make up for by working throughout my lunch and supposed merienda time) is being scrutinized simply because i am not punctual. I thought this friggin' company wwas output-oriented! Fuck this.

+I'm missing my friends!+
I was reading pika's blog earlier and i must say, i'm missing my barkada... I'm missing some serious chillouts, and yep, my gal pals! It made me wonder how, after being so close for such a long time, did we end up barely hanging out these days?
Ba't kaya? Di kaya dahil lahat ng gimik nasa Makati o Ortigas? Di kaya dahil sa sobrang tagal ko nang di sila nakakasama ay nakalimutan ko na kung paano makisama sa kanila? O di kaya dahil ibang-iban na ang mundo ng lahat?Minsan naiisip ko rin baka dahil hindi nagsasalita ng Tagalog ang kasama ko, nahihirapan makipaghalubilo and barkada sa amin, o kaya nahihiya sila. Ewan, minsan, nalulungkot ako mag-isip na baka dahiul dito kaya kami di na nagkikita. Naiisip ko na rin na baka lang dahil sa ibang -iba na rin ang mga gusto ng mga kaibigan ko na hindi ko na rin alam o nasasakyan dahil sa sobrang tagal na naming di nagkikita...
I rarely find time to hangout these days anyway, and most of the time i'd be spending it in QC with my sweetie and/or our friends. (Though I admit, these days, i opt to spend time with him, since he'll be back in the States for Xmas next month). Still, i miss the gals' night we used to have at Eastwood, the impromptu coffee talks and some serious chillout sessions we do. Maybe it's also because i haven't been exactly that visible in the last couple of group gimmiks. *sigh* Anyway, i do hoope that there will be a group gimmik soon, so we can once again re-group and bond. Yey!

+Murphy's Law is stalking me+
No matter how much planning you do for the day, work never gets done on time (if it does at all). I am currently wasting time away waiting for final approval on my menu boards, due tomorrow for the printer. *sigh* What they say about punctuality is sooo not happening on this aspect of the work. I cannot believe i wake up this early to just stare at my computer like this. Sheesh. This is the reason why i do NOT go to work early. hahaha.
