moving on...

I know, I know, I'm beginning to resemble a broken record with my whining about work (uy, di ako si Salmonella ha.). After all, I've already vented it out so enough of the complaints. Saka na-daot ko na si Sum, ok na yun. Hehe. Peace.

To celebrate for:
1. Family reunion over the weekend (sort of) due to Nanay's 1st death anniversary (we miss u, Nanay Vening...)
2. A new book, "the Romanov Prophecy"
3. Spent time with my IMB family & friends.

There, I'm smiling now. :)

p.s. Saw Ms. JJ, the new Pantene girl! Totoo nga ang chismis! Love u, ma'am.

furious!!!

I am mad!
I am furious!!
I am angry!!!

Two of the reasons why I left IMB: one, for a slightly (a meager 2k) better pay and basic employment benefits. Two, for fixed office hours (9am-6pm) --- I was thinking of this as lesser working hours and more rest. I was wrong. I have to sleep early because on weekdays, my mornings should start early becaause of work. Before, with IMB, I could go out every night and not feel as tired during the day when I work. I also get to sleep in the car en route to the shoot location.

As my previous blog says, my big career change has made me thoroughly disappointed.

I can't stand being tied down to the office. I need to get out once in awhile (field work) so I schedule half days and client calls or as we call these, OB - Official Business.

Last August 15, I received a BAD surprise. All those hours away from the office is equivalent to a pay cut! F**K!!! With IMB, we usually had three days of rest before we work again on our next story. The best thing about it is, we didn't have to go to the office and we'd still get our whole salary, without any cuts! Well...except for the 10% withholding tax.

I hate EHDI! I hate my work there! This recent incident has made me realize that it actually defeats my purpose for changing jobs. Naku, one can never be really perfect. (Right, koryn & angel?)

I really long to work for IMB again and be with the best group of people and friends. *haay...*

melancholia

A month & 8 days with my new job and I'm already bored, lacking zest, and reminiscing the glorious IMB days. "Glorious" now that I'm not producing stories every other week for IMB...hehe. But seriously, I miss GMA --- the working environment, the show, and of course my IMB family.

Today, they're having a team building in Caliraya and I am dying with envy! I know I would be thinking about it for the whole day until tomorrow, because that's when they get home; after having a wonderful time! They would be wearing their bathing suits now, eating sumptuous food, laughing, and bonding, and...ok Pat, enough already! For now... :p (Last 2003, before I came into the show, they have just finished a team building in laguna. This year, 2005, after I left the show, they're having another one in Laguna also...huhuhu...)

I actually thought of resigning from my current job so I could go with them and attend the team building. But that would really be immature so I didn't. I have to stand by my decision and live it.

Everybody's asking if I'm happy/enjoying my job now, and I would always mouth the same reply, "No, I'm not enjoying. I'm not happy. I'm bored. I wanna go back..." But some things are stopping me from leaving Emerald Headway:

1) I just submitted my requirements (TIN, Pag-ibig) and the company's handling my application for these.
2) I'm waiting and praying that my application in another GMA department would be successful. I wouldn't want to go back to IMB, only to leave it for another position in another department, albeit in the same company. That would be disrespectful.
3) My mother. Need I say more?

If I'm really meant for IMB, then things would fall into place sooner or later. The universe would conspire to make it happen. :)
