True to form

So I’m back to steady breathing after a month-long huff and puff. I’ve decided to take a couple of weeks off the resto job. It was beginning to be more trouble than it was worth. It feels good to have a tidy bedroom floor and actually having a bed to sleep on instead of having [...]

Before Houdiniing

I got this term’s timetable and it’s even better than last one’s! I’ve got 2 days of school per week only and a damn straightforward daily schedule at that. A solid 9 to 5:30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Which means I can wait on tables after classes on both nights and Sunday evenings. I’ve even [...]

Parmesan cheese and a $50 dispute

So I finally have some down time after a hectic 2 weeks. This whole morning has been one long sigh of relaxation. I had smoked salmon, gruyère, spinach, eggs and an exquisite cup of flat white for breakfast somewhere in Canterbury. I’ve tidied up my room, changed my sheets and my last batch of about [...]

Raising hell

(Warning: Long post, a bit rambling)
On packing: My last day of work has been eventful so far. I woke up early as usual and hung around the house, started sorting out my preliminary packing and ended up nearly finalising everything. I usually have a couple of packing rehearsals before fixing the locks on the luggage and [...]

Last week of work

Woohoo! 7 days to March 18.
The new guy (NG) started last Friday and we’ve been busy with the turnover. We’ve got lots of ongoing projects but I’m hoping to complete most of them before next Wednesday, otherwise known as MY LAST DAY OF WORK. Hihihi.
I’ve also started introducing him to our regular clients, my favorite [...]

Resignation tips

You could always disappear for a few days and then text your friend at HR (or not) that you’re not returning to work, ever. That’s real classy.
Seriously, it may be a bit of an effort but believe me it’s so much better to leave the company with a smile on your face. You’re already moving on [...]

Torporing on

So the torpor took a while to wear off. I haven’t gone back to boxing since I sprained my elbow. I did some sparring in the last session, which was a few days before christmas. That proved to be a miserable failure. Towards the end of round 2, I shot my right arm out, grazing [...]

Drivel

Fuck it’s so busy in the office. My team and I are in the middle of producing 7 bloody catalogs. Fuck the clients keep changing their fucking minds and then they review the old PDFs, without bothering to even look at the new ones and then send an indignant email demanding why the modifications haven’t [...]

Discovery sweets

I’ve only just discovered that cheeseburger and coffee go REALLY well together. I love it. I just polished off a Wendy’s cheeseburger and chased it down with my usual 38-peso coffee. Let me tell you my friend, it is heaven. They’re squishing about in my tummy very nicely right now. Yummy.
Ok what’s on the agenda [...]

Work related update

I’m back to drinking coffee daily after a 5-year hiatus. I can’t say I’m addicted to caffeine again, I think it’s more due to the fact that my 38-peso cup comes with a free refill if availed on the same day. That’s 19 pesos for a decent cup of coffee. Not sure where they get [...]
