Chapter Over

My recent post was highlighting a new job, a new career in my life. Most of you are asking, why did I leave the call center industry anyway? Doesn't it pay much better? They have a rigid system in hiring to begin with. Why, after 6 month, decide to leave?

ANG DAMING REASON!

Reason # 1: 6 Months na ko nasa NIGHT SHIFT!

Our account has a 24 hour a day operation. I just don't get it why they ask you if you are OK with "SHIFTING SCHEDULES" then give you the night shift for life. I have never been a night person. Ever since I was little, I remember Christmas eves and New Year's eves that I am always the first person to sleep. I remember I sleep before midnight thinking I'd wake up by midnight but really end up waking up as the sun rises. I don't care about the night differential. The schedule is not working well for me.


Reason # 2: Within 6 months, I almost lost my voice thrice.

I find myself coughing, sniffling, sneezing for days on end. I'd be feverish, but I'd still report because of the pay. Then I'd lose my voice. Then I'd get a bad QA. Then the supervisor will blame me. What the heck!


Reason # 3: I miss my SOCIAL NIGHT LIFE

Night time has always been time for my friends to meet. It was for movies, coffee, sleepovers, Arashi marathons, caregroups, nail care at the spa, the works! I wasn't able to do all these while I was in there. The only 2 movies I had was New Moon and Avatar. It wasn't so bad. my officemate watched it in the afternoon by schedule. We can't just go on a random, "Tara, watch tayo movie!" kinda thing. We finish the shift in the morning. What do we expect?! Malls are still closed at that time, especially if our shift ends at 430AM.


Reason # 4: I miss my CHURCH FRIENDS

Godly friends give Godly advise. They emanate with the Spirit of God! I just missed them a lot!


Reason # 5 (And probably the heavy weigh champion of all my reasons): I HATE MY SUPERVISOR

Let's hide her under the name JUNISIA MALAYKO. This is the team's 2nd supervisor while I was still in the call center industry. This girl, 27 years old, almost my age, does not have the tiniest bit of profesionalism in her system. Why?

*She only does her job when her manager is around.
*She take 45 minute yosi breaks 4 times during the shift.
*She has her ident logged IN even if she's out on a party night.
*She doesn't know how to motivate her team, workwise and life-wise.
*She doesn't even know what she's supposed to do.
*Whenever she's present, she makes the most out of her time flirting with her girl friends and boyfriends on the floor.
*She does not coach properly.
*I hate her friggin' guts!
*If there was ever a candidate worth terminating, It was her!!!

I hated going to work just because I am going to see her, interact with her, hear her irritating voice. Thank GOD I AM OUT!


Nevertheless, I am going to miss my friends there. The pay of course, but in all these, MY GOD SHALL PROVIDE!

Time for a BIG BREAK!

2010

A year for some serious blogging. I was up last night just thinking about this year, about plans, where to go, what to buy, what to prioritize. I filled a whole page of a steno sheet just randomly thinking out these things.

But priority one for the year is to have a DAY JOB. I was praying last night (along with my year planning session) for God to give me a particular job. The pay isn't so great, but the environment!!! To be surrounded by Christians again who pray and aim for the best of the company!

This morning, I got a call from the company (I sound like the narrator of HEROES) and asked me to go for a secondary interview. The interview went well and thus the initial orientation for my schedule. I love how God honors your desires! I love Him so much!

So there, the Day Job is there. I would label my designation just yet. But I know that he has a big surprise for me, INCREASE and PROMOTION for me!

Glory be to GOD!
