Anticipation
I’m here at the office waiting to see if I’m included in the new batch of trainees for Expedia. I’m so anxious to find out you have no idea. I was absent last Friday because I had a “headache”, so I couldn’t find out first hand. I checked my email though, but I didn’t get an email saying that I had to attend training. I was so sad last Friday, because I though that that ment I didn’t get accepted. But then I found earlier today that even if I didn’t get accepted they’d still send me an email. So basically I have to wait until the Expedia trainor shows up so I can find out if I made the cut or not. I hope I do. I’m really sick of VeriSign. Can’t stand them anymore. After six months of being one of their customer service representives, I’ve developed manic depression, schizophrenia, anger mismanagement, and lots of other dysfunctions.
Rasika sent me an email saying she was gonna get married! Oh my God. I can’t believe it. To think that just a few short years ago we were 14 year old teenagers bumming around Bahrain, spending millions of hours on the phone, and now… I wish I could be there for the wedding. I’d cry for sure. I wonder when Juris, Jhona, and Marie will get married?
Jelu, Lisa, Mama and Ate Baby were in Manila last Saturday. I took Lisa and Jelu to the cinema and we watched “Spider-Man”. I was half guilty again because I was half asleep afterwards, cuz being used to a graveyard schedule I’m used to being asleep during the day. So we really couldn’t talk much I didn’t really get the chance to ask them how they were doing and what they were planning to do for the rest of summer. Mama was being her usual capitalist self — always asking me to pay for everything, claiming she didn’t have any money (a flat out lie), etc. Usually I give in and don’t mind much, but since I was really sleepy, tired, and therefore cranky it really bugged me. Hello! It’s not like my salary is that much. OK fine, it’s above average, but considering I already like give 1/3 of my pay to both them and to Tita Lettie, I honestly don’t get to keep that much.
So anyway. If I’m part of training, then training will start in 2 hours. I’m already really sleepy, because I woke up at 10 PM last night and haven’t slept since. I don’t mind though. I’d do anything just to get out of VeriSign.
I’ll write more later. I’m just gonna grab a bite to eat.
