Joke of the Week

I would love to sum up things that happened to me this week but the caffaine induced conciousness that I am currently sporting is starting to wear off. Any moment I know that I will succumb to a sweet lullaby.

Here is a joke I have heard from a customer.

Three old guys ranting, first guy said "It's kind windy", and with much gusto second guy cried "No, it's thursday" and after such comment the third guy butted in saying "me too, let's grab something to drink"

No, I don't get how it supposed to be funny. I don't really know if it is because I have heard that from an American and the humor is much different from me, a Filipino; or it if the concept of three old guys bordering senility, talking to each other is not something that I find hilarious. I have a gut feel that joke has a notorious reputation among family gatherings and is mostly associated to comments such "here goes uncle again" and "I have heard that before".

Tuesday, Ranting and all that Shit.

After dragging my carcass in the speed of light, I managed to get to the office 5 mins before 9PM. I swiped my access card, sporting a wet look and running like I am being mugged. I took 2 Jeepneys, a Tricycle and Cab in order for me not to be late and as soon as I opened my computer I decided to log in to our application just to find out I am 30 Mins early.

Darn this day!

Hyper about Iphone

I'll let you in a secret. I'm a tech-freak.

Yup, I am one of those people who can't wait to get a hold of the latest gadget. My idea of entertainment is to read reviews on the latest gizmos available in the market. Whenever I read the sunday edition of our local broadsheets, I immediately scan the paper for any trace of technology and feast my eyes on the prices of such eye candies.

Yes, I am one of those people who happen to start calcualting, hoping to come up with somehow accurate estimation of Iphone's price when it is eventually released here the Philippines.

I am currently sporting a Nokia 6630 which I purchased last November 2006. It was actually a spontaneous decision thinking that I didn't really have the budget for a high end phone and that I needed something that will support all my texting and MMS-ing needs. So far, it has not disappointed me.

Well, with the recent hype about Iphone, I am starting to consider getting my hands on one as soon as it hits the market. Downside about it though, is that it does not have 3g for streaming, downloading and Video call; and although it comes with 4G or 8G of internal memory, it does not support expandable memory, which I am very particular about because most device usually crash whenever the internal memory has been exhausted.

Base on what I have read, it will range from $500 -$600, which is not so bad considering that it is a phone that has computing functions.

I guess I have to start saving for the IPhone. I just hope that when they release it here in the Philippines, Apple has already incorporated 3G.

My Job II

Although I am shortlisted to become a Supervisor, thoughts of resignation lurks in my head. Some people might think that it will be a stupid move if I decided to terminate my stay with the company but then again, I have better options. The main reason why i decided to stay in my current job is because I like the Company itself.

I am beyond dreaming of greener pastures. I am at the point that money is no longer the main concern. I am not saying that I am well-off, I don't have even a bank account and a week after this post, I am considered broke, but I no longer see the importance of money because I am confident that I will always earn it. A friend once pointed out that happiness is something that you decide on. I didn't really get her idea because we were talkin about our current partners; not until reflecting about my situation. I have decided that I am happy with Convergys. Although I could get a better job in another Call Center, I opted to stay with the company because I see myself achieving my goals in here.

When I decided to join Convergys, I have set my goal that I will be a Supervisor. After a year of toiling, my goal is starting to become a reality. Hard work has not paid off yet, I am still waiting for my time. Patience is wearing thin, though, knowing that I have better options. The only reason why I am not taking them is because of the company I believe in.
