And so the story goes, and for the 2nd time this week, we are actually done with work before our end of shift.
Damn it, I don't need to edit myself here, do I?
Anyway, we had a meeting before even starting on work. Blah-blah-blah and meeting meeting meeting. I had fun with that, as we were discussing what we should be doing so what we do could be consistent. As it is, we all have different editing styles, but it's a lot more convenient if we have a kind of master edit thing, eh? For consistency.
Good thing we only had a few number of jobs so we didn't have to rush and be bedraggled and harrassed. So now we've been basically in front of our computers for the past, oh 2 hours, I think, doing whatever.
Piccies! Only I have so few of them here that I'm quite shy about uploading them.
Yeah, and I'm rambling now. Don't really know what to write about...
Illusion: Oh yeah, I am so deluding myself that I can write THAT here.
Countdown: Not even going to touch that.
I can't even fathom what I'm going to do about my other stories and how the hell I'm going to make heads and tails of what I want to happen and what the characters will let me make happen there.

Slow to burn
Won't you say that it takes a long time and a lot of instances to anger me? That I'm slow to burn, as it were? That I have a long patience? That I haven't really lost my temper nor have I had a temper fit, ever?
I mean, sure, I can irritated as hell with something or someone, but not a real full-blown temper at anyone, aye?
Well, people, I am really close to that right at this moment.
But no, I am not mad at someone in particular, more like something in particular, and I don't get restitution, I am going to be really mad, really soon.
See, I'm normally fast at what I do, and I mean fast. Because my beloved computer, Diego, who is going to be scrap metal soon, was fast, but ever since we moved to the new office building, soon-to-be-scrap-metal-Diego-compy has slowed down considerably, especially with these two programs that we have to use with work, and damn it all to hell and back again through the river styx and all the levels of hell and damnation, I want those two programs to speed the hell up!!!
And what really ticks me off is that they're really slow only with my computer!! How irritating is that?! My productivity is being affected, not to mention my good humor and my patience, and I can't bloody well stand it anymore!!
I WANT SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, GODDAMNIT!!
So, I already talked to 3 IT people and here's what they said:
Ann: Try mo disk clean-up, otherwise, baka reformat na katapat nyan. Back up mo na files nyo.
Omar: Hayaan mo na lang.
JP: Mag disk clean-up tayo. Back-up na lang tayo sa server.
Of course those conversations were a few days ago, so forgive me if I adlib a bit on their statements, but you get the gist of what they said.
Now, I understand if they're feeling overworked and overwhelmed what with relocating to the new office and they have to connect and do all the IT things that they do to make the company functional and all that, but argh!!
Frustrating as hell!!
I'm just thankful that I have something to keep me from blasting this piece of CPU crap into itty-bitty little pieces.
Hah.

New Shift
Starting this week, I will be on a new shift which is from 8AM to 4PM. And I was late on my first day in the new shift, for 12 minutes hehehe ^__^;; I really thought getting a bus at that time would be easier, but as it turned out, it wasn't, so I was late. Good thing we didn't have that many files to deal with, otherwise, we'll be staying on until later. As it is, we only have a normal number of files.
Also, we moved offices last week, so now, we're in this spanking brand-new office and it's really cold, with a functional airconditioning - yay!
What else happened... aside from the OTs and stuff...
Oh yeah, Jen's wedding. Hah, I don't have a picture, yet, but as soon as I can get one, I'll see what I can do to have it scanned and posted here. Of course, I wore the old rose dress with a gold-speckled black cardigan thing something and the black shoes. Yo, feifu, I wore pink! *sweatdrop*
I was afraid that we would be late for the service -- we left the office past 6PM and the mass was at 7PM in New Manila! -- but Marco was a knowledgeable driver and he got us there in the nick of time ^__^ and I got to read for the ceremony, something that I have not done in a long time, since high school I think.
I would have loved to stay on until whenever at the reception, but stuff happens, i.e., Marco's dad called and asked Marco to come pick him up earlier, which of course he did. Since Marco was the one with the car, Mich, Ann, and I had to skip earlier and leave almost as soon as we finished dinner. We didn't get to watch the rest of the traditional ceremony stuff during the reception, but I must say, the food was quite good.
I suppose it can't be helped, me thinking about marriage and weddings and all that comes with it, having just recently attended one. Thing is, I can't really get a clear picture in my head of what my wedding would be, if I'm going to get married, that is. Scary thought, really, being alone for the rest of your days... assuming that I want to live through the rest of my days.
Aren't I the one with the promise that I won't live beyond my 35th birthday? I want to add a codicil, that I won't live beyond my 35th birthday if and when I am not happy. If I'm happy, I'm giving myself another 3 years, if a bullet or something else doesn't get me first.
^__^
Ain't life grand?

something really fast
I'm at the office -- it's OT! -- and I just finished marking the exams of the 3 applicants. I don't know if I'm just being difficult in the marking or what, but... ah well, we'll see what Jen has to say about them.
Something else about me...
Oh yeah, I bought a dress for the wedding ^__^ It's in old rose with some vertical detailing. I can't show a picture of it coz, surprise, I don't have a phone camera and I don't have a digital camera. Also bought shoes for that, only it's black and kinda low with just an inch of heel. Which is good for me coz anything higher and I get the feeling that I'm going to fall one way or another. I think it'll be okay. If not, then I can always get another pair of shoes come payday, aye?
Speaking of shoes, also bought a pair of sandals, and they're pink. They're also comfy but they're pink. It was really an impulse buy sort of thing, but I was also thinking I could use it for the office when I don't want to wear my other sandals or my rubber shoes or my boots or the black shoes... I guess I have a number of pairs of shoes now *sweatdrop* It's not really a sin, is it, to like shoes and want to have them?
What else did I do in the mall yesterday? Aside from walking so much since I went to 3 malls before buying anything. Found some really nice clothes but they wouldn't fit me. Guess that's wake-up call for me to loose weight, and believe me I will loose weight. Thing is, I can't loose that much weight to be able to fit into something slinky for the wedding, but I will definitely loose weight. Ne, minna-san, remember my last semester at college? I want to look like that again. Let's see if I can hunt up a pic of me in my graduation dress...
Looks good.

15 minutes
So yeah, I have 15 minutes left here in the office and I figured since I'm not going to worry about anyone from here reading my blog, I might as well update.
What can I update with...
Well, I went to Mall of Asia with my brothers. It was big, kinda weird and interesting architecture, but it was big. Didn't get to explore as much as I wanted to since I was with them, but I figure if and when I can go there on my own or with someone else other than family, I can explore it to my heart's content ^__^
"S.O." said Michelle, who is currently reading over my shoulder.
Michelle, my office-mate and friend here, not the other Michelle who happens to be my "landlady" of sorts.
Speaking of Michelle, she and I and Anne and Marco went to Landmark after work yesterday. In a kinda frantic way, we went through the ladies' section looking for shoes for Michelle and dress and shoes for me. We're going to attend a wedding of our officemate Jen, and I have nothing to wear!!
See, I have this dress already, my graduation dress, but it's black and Jen said her Dad doesn't like black so I am left in a palaver of sorts, since almost all of my clothes are black. So, solution? Shopping trip tomorrow for shoes and a dress. And it has to be formal.
Here's to hoping I find something in my size and something that I could be comfortable with and shoes that I can walk in. I really can't imagine me walking on a thin stiletto-type heel kind of shoe... I'll be too scared to move. I can just hear my ankle bones breaking *shivers*
Oh look, my 15 minutes are almost up ^__^
