I thought so

I REALLY thought so. Tonight, I took the first step forward and had my firsthand experience in being a technical service representative. At exactly 6:00pm, I logged in to Avaya and with much hesitation pressed the Auto In button (meaning I will start receiving calls any moment from then on). For some unknown reason, I even became a little bored waiting for my turn to hear the "whisper" and two beeps so I can finally "officially" say my opening spiel.

We took in calls for the next two hours straight. We had buddies to help us handle the calls. Thank God! If I didn't have my buddy, I probably am crying somewhere by now. :)

********************************

My head aches so much. I'm waiting for 10pm so I can finally go home. I already want to take a rest. My head started to ache only after I took calls. Do you think that is a warning sign? Do you think I should just back out from this job? Should I just go back to being an e-mail/chat support? Honestly, I don't really know if I can handle this job. Just for everyone's information, I am not a technically inclined person even if I DID graduate with a course in BS. in Computer Science. I feel that I didn't even learn much from that course. Even if I fared well in school, that doesn't mean the information I learned was retained. I guess I have only myself to blame for my very poor memory.

Baha

Kanina paglabas ko ng bahay, ang laki ng baha. Sa loob pa lang ng bakuran ay mataas na ang tubig. Maraming salamat sa kapitbahay namin dahil naglagay sya ng matutungtungan ko para hindi lumubog ang paa ko. Pwede na rin. Ang nabasa lang ay ang talampakan ko, salamat. Paglabas ko ng gate, sinalubong ako ng tatlong mga bata at sabi nila, "Ate, wala ka bang bota? Ang taas kasi ng baha kahit saan ka dumaan. Kung gusto mo, itaas mo na lang ang pantalon mo para hindi mabasa." Ang sweet nila no? Kung iisipin mo, hindi man nila ako kilala pero kinausap nila ako at nagpakita ng "concern" sa akin. Natuwa naman ako. Sinamahan pa nila ako sa shortcut para maiwasan ko yung malaking tubig. At para lalo pa akong matuwa, itinawag pa nila ako ng bike na maghahatid sa akin sa sakayan ng dyip para hindi na ako mapagod. Ano ang kapalit? Wala. Pagkaalis ko ay nakangiti silang nagpaalam sa akin. Nakakatuwa talaga.

Tinanong ko yung manong na nagmamaneho ng bike kung bakit baha samantalang hindi naman umulan. Sabi nya high tide kasi. Naalala ko tuloy na sabi nga pala ng kapatid ko, sa likod lang namin ang piyer, kaya siguro ganun. Sabi pa ni manong ay hanggang Sabado pa ang high tide kaya ilang araw pang titiisin ang baha sa lugar namin.

Para lang sa kabatiran ng lahat, ayaw ko kasi ng baha. Ayaw na ayaw. Pag nakakita ako ng baha, isa lang ang pumapasok sa isip ko ng paulit ulit. Leptospirosis, Leptospirosis, Leptospirosis, Leptospirosis, Leptospirosis, Leptospirosis, Leptospirosis.

Migraine Girl

My boyfriend calls me Migraine Girl.

Why?

When I have migraine, I hate hearing noise.
When I have migraine, I hate seeing the glare of lights.
When I have migraine, I hate feeling too much movement.
When I have migraine, I hate smelling the smoke from cigarettes and vehicles.
When I have migraine, I hate warm places.
Migraine? I hate it!

Now thinking about it, it appears that when I do have migraine, my senses are on a hightened state to the point where I get irritated easily. That's why I tend to be alone in a dimly lighted (or dark) and cold room whenever I experience an attack. I usually get into trouble when I talk to people at this time. (Sometimes I'm even the one who starts the trouble. LOL).

Oh, well, I guess he has his reasons for calling me that.
