whew! it’s 2am here in dubai. just got home from work. ate dinner (yeah, we eat lunch at 4pm and dinner at 1am… buhay call center on a graveyard shift)… talked w my housemates (about any chismax in the office… as if wala mi nagakita 24/7)… and opened the laptop to check my email and friendster accounts (thanks god, the "anti-gloria" hackers didn’t do anything on my profile today)…

okay, since i don’t know what to write here… i’m just gonna update you guys about my "very boring" routine during weekdays. (weekdays here in dubai would mean sat-wed so our weekends would be thurs-fri… sounds weird but yeah, it’s true!). our shift starts at 2pm and ends at 12mn. (we work for 10 hours, yes… we’re very hardworking in skycom, don’t you know that.) so toni and i ‘normally’ wake up at 12nn becoz our company bus picks us up at 1245pm. (if we get lazy, we wake up at 1230pm… so we need to catch a cab to go to the last pick up area). we take a bath (everyday that is… unlike other people in the office… read: "mga pana"), dress up (our very "nindot" na skycom uniform) and wait for the bus. from our house in Al Satwa, it would take us 30-45 mins to get to the office in dubai internet city. when we arrive, we go straight to the 247 convenience store in the other building to buy chocolate croissant, mountain dew and mineral water. (yeah mao na among ginapalit as in everyday). then tambay outside for a yosi break and konting chismax while waiting for our log in. As i said earlier, we log in at 2pm… then lunch break for 30 mins at 4pm… then take calls again… then another 30 mins break at 830pm… then take calls again until 12mn. kapoy no?! hahay. we normally have post shift meetings for the whole ops floor after work so we go home at 1230am. Arrive home at 115am, do the things i mentioned above then go to sleep at 5 or 6am. boring gyud no??? oh well, no choice eh.

during weekends, i sleep the whole day then when i wake up, i log in to the internet or mag movie marathon w my housemates. if hagad ako housemates, we go to the malls to do a little bit of shopping or plain suroy lang… or if not, we go to chikka grill. inom and dance ginagmay pangpa relax. hahay! i miss bee… huhuhu!!!

by the way, i forgot to mention that i was in the principal’s office again yesterday. (hr manager’s office… hehehe!) gipatawag nasad coz i was absent for a couple of days last week. well i can’t help it, i really need to rest… super stressed out from work :-( 

while waiting for my turn (taas linya coz daghan sad gipatawag), i was navigating/surfing syvil’s new fon. sy, nice kaayo imong LG chocolate fon. took a pic of our reception area. that’s the new receptionist, natabunan… ulo ra nakita… hehehe!

well, d nako go over sa details kung what happened inside the hr manager’s office. hahaha! all i can say is gikapoy na siya badlong sa ako so wala nako niya gikulit and he sent me back to the ops floor in less than 5 mins. hahaha! guess he was tired of seeing my face in his office every month.

hay, today was not a good day for me in the office. wanna know why??? wala ko baligya. hahaha. i used to have a lot of sales during my first few months in the company but i got tired of all those sh*t so i don’t give a damn na gyud. that’s how i hate our company. i know, i’m very bad. hehehe! and here’s an evidence.

we have 6 teams in the ops floor. each team has a plasma tv in their area to keep track of our sales. now this is a pic of the team stats. i’m under anil’s team. we were third in the ranking today. not bad, by the way. we had 49 sales at the end of the shift.

and look how many sales i got. hahaha! only one. ngek, kaulaw. labwan pa sa new agents. and to think wave 2 ko gikan sa pinas. hahaha! bahala na, basta i only have 4 more months to go and goodbye skycom.

yipee! we’re going home. this is at the empty parking lot of D.I.C. well of course, wala na work ang uban offices at this time. it’s already midnight. we have 4 company buses (ajman bus, sharjah bus, dubai bus and inbound bus) but wala naapil sa pic ang other 2.

and that’s our office (i-mate bldg). skycom occupies the ground floor for the outbound sales dept (our dept!!!) and 2nd floor for the inbound (cust serv, activations, etc) and admin depts.

now here are the pasaways!!! hahaha… pictorial inside the bus. the fab 4 of Mr. A… also known as ‘The Penguin’ (mga absenot kaya favorites ng hr manager)… bad bad bad!!!

that’s me, g, toni and jackie
