RUSH

Because of the long holidays

Because of the nature of my work

I am trying to finish everything

in about a week and two days

payroll, reconciliations, remittances,

financial reports, summaries, alpha lists

Geez.

Toxic and loving it!

is it gone?

I lost (or have not) my TIN ID digitized card. It happened yesterday. I was going to make a withdrawal from the bank (together with a co-employee) and though I am one of the signatories, i still brought an ID with me just incase the teller would be asking for some identification. I know i placed my TIN ID inside a letter envelope. Off I went to the bank. When I got there, I cannot find my card (good thing that the teller didn't ask for it) in my envelope. Weird. I was rewinding every bit of detail in my head. A lot of things are going through my head. I was thinking that if it has fallen from the envelope, my co-employee will be able to see it because I was ahead of her for about a meter or two. I asked employees from the bank (even their security) if they have seen a TIN ID card. Negative. It was just a short walk from the office to the bank. My head is aching from thinking of where have I placed it. Did I really dropped it or have an officemate saw the card and was keeping it for reasons of fun. This morning an officemate told me that "pa pizza ka mamaya, ilalabas ko yung card mo" Ganun. It pisses me off. I just hope na nawala na lang talaga.

Wish List

It's the time of the year wherein employees are rich from receiving their monetary benefits, from 13th month pay to leave conversion and to bonuses and other cash gifts. With money at hand, most of us are thinking of what we would do with it.

Here's my wish list:

1. DSLR camera
2. Laptop
3. New mobile phone
4. a loooonnnggg vacation in a far-away land

But then, most probably i will end up just saving the money. Why? Manghihinayang ako gastusin yun pinaghirapan ko. Months before i get hold of those monetary benefits, i window-shop, surf the net and do research on the things that I like. And when I have decided to buy, my frugal side will tell me not to buy it and I end up following it. As of this writing, i am still undecided on whether to give in to my splurge urge or not.

Pissed off!

That is what I am feeling right now. I am pissed because Officemate "O" was asking our timekeeper (T) with regards to the last time we were allowed to go home early (half day) kasi nga All Saint’s day the following day. Umuwi ako ng mas maaga (before 2:30). This has been a tradition in our office na kapag management ang nagpauwi sa amin ng maaga, we could go home earlier than the 2:30 (say 30 mins before that). Acceptable yun kasi nga matrapik na at Holiday pa the following day.

Sabi na nga ba at malakas ang kutob ko na sisilipin iyon ng kasama ko. Kasi daw nag antay sila ng 2:30. Kasalanan ko ba na mag-antay sila? Kung umuwi din sila nang maaga nun araw na iyon, sigurado at hindi nila sisilipin iyon. Sige, ganyan ang gusto nila. Kinausap ko din si T at sinabi na tingnan niya din ang oras ng OT na fina-file nila. Dapat bawasan din sila dahil madaya sila kapag nagfa-file sila ng OT. 9:30 – 6:30 ang oras namin dito sa office. Kapag dumating ka nang 9:40, dapat kapag gusto mo ifile ng OT, 6:40 onwards ang dapat na ilagay mo sa OT form at hindi 6:30!!!!! Ang alam ko sa OVERTIME is in excess of 8 hours of work. 8 hours ba yung 9:40 – 6:30????? HINDI diba.

Matagal ko na napapansin yun. Pero dahil sa pakikisama, sige, hayaan ko. Pero ngayon, hindi na pwede yun. Nagulat nga daw siya kasi nagreklamo si O at bakit daw ako lang ang sinilip niya samantalang maraming umuwi ng maaga nun araw na iyon. Kakaiba. Sana bago nila silipin ang iba, tingnan muna nila ang sarili nila.

Gluttony part 2

It has been a day after my leave and as I reported for work, I was greeted by a janitress (J) and asked me what I wanted for my snack because the maternity reimbursement that I computed for her colleague (C) was already released (C wanted J to ask me). I told her not to buy anything because C will be needing the money for her baby.

Later on, an officemate (O) asked for help with a withdrawal from a bank. One of my colleagues helped her since she knows the manager. O told us not to buy our snack because she will be buying it for us. Thus, siopao will be our snack with polvoron as pasalubong.

A few minutes after that, J came in the office and handed me 3 Mcdonald’s cheeseburger meal. One for me and for my colleagues here. Mahirap tangihan ang grasya diba? So we just thank C for it.

I ate the cheeseburger. I gave the fries to O because my doctor adviced me to stay away from it together with other yummy stuff. With the siopao and polvoron, i will bring it home as pasalubong for my kids.
