its 1:00 am and i just had my “lunch”. “lunch” refers to any meal regardless of the time, its the term i use back when i was still connected with a call center company. i dont know what’s got into me but i kept on staring at the computer time as if i have a deadline to attend to. i still have 4 more hours of work and i thought about writing a post, atleast somehow ill feel productive.
i’ve been with ncr for 2 weeks and i am still stuck with an empty cubicle. i go to work and as stationed in an empty cubicle i will always notice the dust on my desk. the first thing ill do is clean my desk and arrange my stuff for another 8 hr work. mostly i grab my c++ book and start reading a few pages when it will come to a point that i’ll pretend to read my book while staring at the text of pure ambiguity. i am completely lost in this book.
i find myself staring at the amazing colors of my orange and blue walls. what’s with blue and orange anyway? seriously, its the colors of my cubicle walls and there are instances where i drift myself into looking at the patterns of the great orange and blue wall for no reason at all. i am not making any sense here…bottom line is i always find myself bored when im at work. there is just nothing else to do aside from reading this text and talking to a bunch of punks!
did i mention that i am the only lady in this row of 12 station cubicles. i guess i always find myself in a crowd where men dominates in number. i have nothing against it but i find it weird. why am i always stuck with a group of boys…(using the term boys reminds me of high school) i find myself enjoying their company and listening to few senseless stories with conversations of various topics which is seriously pointless is fun. these conversations help us ignore the time while we pretty much laugh our hearts out even with the smallest things that we find completely ridiculous and stupid. (laughing)
for a second there, i stared at the blinking cursor thinking about the next thing to write. im doing it again (looking down at the lower right portion of the screen, indicating the current time) im out of ideas to write and i know i still have zillions to jut about.
ah…i went out for a quick break and got my soccer things/gear from a friend. when i was on my way to my cubicle i decided to make a stop at the restroom for a quick pee. i figured i’ll talk about this group of punks! i was actually at one corner displaying a quiet disposition while i was observing this group of punks…i cannot possibly ignore their conversations due to the fact that the office had a quiet environment and the only thing that you can hear is their senseless conversations. ( laugh)
ill start off with christian a.k.a. “bruce willis” i cant seem to find the words to describe this guy! toinkz! ill start with the obvious questions like “describing the physical appearance..” i dont think thats important. i think bruce willis pretty much describes his physical appearance-> this is according to the guys but it doesnt mean that i agree with it<- just imagine bruce willis during his late 20s. that’s besides the point. this guy is greatly patient and he’s got a great sense of humor. it’s just been 4 days and i can attest that he is truly patient. it’s just that i have been teasing him with the smallest things that are practically ignored yet these things pretty much hit us in the face in a very unnoticable way. he probably kept silent and forced himself to wear a smile. i know i have been tough on him but its nothing personal. that’s just how i display my friendly disposition. i know there are still a lot of words to describe bruce willis but i feel that i have to spend more time to know him..
hmmmm let me see.who’s next…aha…michael a.k.a. “mel gibson” i cant imagine mel’s resemblance in michael’s face but they said he looks like him. so lets just leave it that way. this guy sleeps a lot, from what i observed the past 4 days. he just disappears in his corner and in the middle of my conversation with the other punks he just appears and laughs…(what!) i should call him the ghost! (hahahhaha) i am just distracted everytime he talks. there is just something about the way he talks…maybe its how he opens his mouth…or how it seems like he is mumbling and then he ends up smiling during every last word he speaks. he is quiet in a way and judging from his behavior, he is probably secretive but i cannot attest to it. maybe im right maybe im wrong but ill leave it all to time. next up is berkeley a.k.a berkz. i dont know if he is chinese or if he has a chinese blood in his family but his features fit that of a chinese-filipino. he’s got chinky eyes and the smile of an asian. all he does is stand by this machine(scanner) and scans for like 80% of the whole shift. he is pretty much into his work and seriously deserves to be paid. i cant say more about berkz since he always sit in front of his pc though from time to time he joins the group and ask questions.
the “feeble” of them all…im referring to “mikel”. this is the first time ive heard this name and its got a weird spelling too. what’s up with his name anyway. kel probably is the typical quiet guy who prefers to be in corner. it seems like he is serious with his job but surely he is just sleeping…(hahahhhhaa)
have you seen the movie jose rizal? starring “cesar montano” hmmmm… the guys said he looks like him. he has constantly been checking his dvd rom. there is obviously something wrong with the device. he kept checking and testing the device with different cds/dvds. from all of the guys, he is number one when it comes to sleeping. he loves sleeping, who doesnt? i guess when we tend to get bored at work and there are not much to do the most common thing to do is rest and relax to slowly drifts away to dreamland! ( i wonder if he remembers his dreams…or what he dreams…)
the “outcast”–gmar. i cant say anything about this guy. he doesnt usually mingle and join our crazy conversations. i only know that he is part of real scan coz there are times when he passed by and walked to his station.
“Mr. Statistics” a.k.a alvin. everytime we find ourselves starting an argument he always cuts in with his stand and backs it up with the thing we call statistics! the never ending survey and the complexity of interpreting the normal curve and its regression line. it basically reminds me of my advance statistics course. it was not easy to pass the subject but i got the hang of it and believe me its not that simple to intepret numbers and data! it might look simple but you need to analyze it. he is the only one who doesnt fluently speak cebuano. he speaks tagalog and its the least language that i like. i am poor in grammar and vocabulary if you’ll ask me about tagalog. ill be honest, i am not fond of it. sorry.
i am running out of words and im starting to get tired. i guess 5 hrs of sleep is not enough to get through the shift. i badly need to sleep, which reminds me of my soft bed at home. i need to sleep! i still have to attend the annual ncr sportsfest and believe me i cant imagine myself running around the field during a soccer game. f.y.i i signed up for the blue soccer team. help…i know ill need more than sending a prayer to get through a game! good luck!
i recommend you watch and witness the beauty of sunrise. someday i know we will lay our armor down.
