Old yet unreliable

A few days ago, I came in late for office, late kung late, nakanang kasi ang fx terminal na yan, ang aga ko na nga umalis ng bahay (7:40 am) tapos nang dahil lang sa kulang sa fx (both colorum at legal) malalate ako ng todo, i came in at 9:10 am, ohh diba? late talaga? manager? considering na 8:30 ang in ko dapat so that's like 40 SOLID MINUTES ng kahaggardnessan at kabwisitan sa daan, basta this experience really tested my patience. It's really embrassing kasi to come in the office na ikaw na lang ang wala, at new hire pa man din ako. Gusto ko kasi mas maaga ako pumunta ng office, para its less stressful at the same time i can start with the gazillion of workload i have to do. Nandyan pa ang pressure ng incoming cut-off dates at quotas.To make it worse, the VP/Managing Director of our division was already in his office, and i think (o baka guni-guni ko lang dahil sa stress) he saw me enter ang log on sa log sheet for my attendance. major haaay!

What I did to kind of make up for it was to stay up until 6:30 pm in the office, para ok naman yung entire stay ko, hindi madaya, though i'm not yet entitled with overtime pay since on-probationary pa lang ang employment status ko. But so as everyone knows, I love the feeling of sort of torturing myself with lots of workload, it's like work + stress = fuel, fuel to do more and produce more outputs, what the heck! magrereklamo pa ba tayo sa mga trabaho na mayroon tayo, eh there are many filipinos who are either underemployed or the worst, UNEMPLOYED.

Earlier pala, I met up with jai to eat lunch, syempre lakad nanaman ako papuntang LKG , besides eating lunch with jai, i also met up with Denise, she is the present VP-External of behavioral science society (in short, ang aking kapalit) the reason was, to turn her over the documents that are still with me, that she would be needing in her organization work, as well as for requirements in OSA, and siyempre di mawawala yung kamustahan.

When I was done with my office work, I totally forgot that it was American Idol today (David vs. David na ito!) anyways, as I walked my way through the fx terminal going home, I was surprised to know na walang nakapia, and wala rin fx. the barker/conductor asked me.

FX Conductor: dito po!
sherwin: (e di lakad naman ako palabas ng de la rosa carpark). nasaan ba?!
Fx conductor: ayun! (sabay turo)
sherwin:ahh ok!

Nang pasakay na ako ng fx...

driver: hanggang market (market! market!, the mall) lang ako.
sherwin:huhh? @%^#@!

barker: gago yung driver na yun.
sherwin:ahhh cge ok lang, hntay na lang ako.
barker: ay huli na yun, wala ng kasunod
sherwin :ha!!? !@#$@%^%
barker:huli na iyon, bukas na ulit.

As of this time, sa soobrang inis ko, umalis na lang ako, so naghanap na lang ako ng taxi. At take note kung ano ang personality ng mga taxi driver sa Makati. (basta elaborate ko ulit sa ibang blog). basta first time nangyari sa akin yun. basta kwento ko na lang sa ibang blog ko yung ibang kabwisitan so far na nararanasan ko sa pangaraw-araw kung pagiging commuter at the same time isang corporate guinea pig (elaborate ko lang din ulit) din.

till my next blog!
