The lessons I've learned so far

The things I've learned on my full-time job so far:

1) Don't do today what you can do tomorrow - or you risk not doing anything at all the next day and you'll bore yourself to tears. This was a very scary lesson to learn because the company's mission is to save life.

2) No matter how close your house is, you'll still be late for work.

3) People who work in the office have potentials of gaining weight AT LEAST 5 lbs. within the first couple of months, depending on how fast your metabolism is. Why? Eating out for lunch, potlucks, ice cream social, employee of the month events (free cake and drinks), and so forth.

4) The hardest part of the job is dragging your work to last all day (for me at least, I'm sure there's a lot of actual busy people around me. I'm busy sometimes, too...just not as much as I want to be - I'm a workaholic, ok!?!).

5) Too much day dreaming can result in finding more determination for changing career. Yes, I'm more determined now to be a flight attendant than ever! But then again, I might get over it.

Well, that's it. The lessons I've learned so far.

RaNdOm ThOuGhTs

Just thoughts that I don't even know how to post because, well, it's not organized in my brain.

• Relationships. The more I stay single, the more I become afraid (more afraid?) of being committed. Why? I have no idea. It's just the idea of actually having a relationship terrifies me as I become more independent (and I'm very independent already). Why this sudden thoughts? Again, no idea. I just started thinking about it on my way to lunch.
• Career. I want to be a stewardess! Now where did this come from? This is actually an on and off thought - career choice - that I've had since I was I think 17 or 18 if I'm not mistaken. An acquaintance from my former school club became a flight attendant and I just started wondering what it would be like. But since the requirement was 21 yrs. old, I shrugged the idea and went on to take business management. All throughout college I thought of it sparodically but never seriously because I intended to finish college and when I turned 21 I was practically done with college so there really was no way I was going to drop out. The latter years of my college actually focused on getting a career in my chosen field, my major. After I moved back home I started browsing on what full-time job I should apply for. Then there was an open interview for flight attendants on July so I went. I had no idea it was THAT competitive to get into the position. Out of 20+ people in the room, only 2 were chosen. Obviously I wasn't chosen because I'm still ranting (or rather typing) about this (in not so coherent way) and juggling with a full-time job (I got my full-time job in August - under my major by the way) and a part-time job (the one I can't let go just yet - I've had this job for 3 years). But for some bizarre reason, I just can't stop thinking about being a stewardess/flight attendant (I don't know why the name change, I kinda like 'stewardess'). It was like when I got my tattoo. I wasn't really going to get it but the more I think of it, the more I want it. I went by myself one day when I had nothing else better to do and got it. Not right there and then, I had to make an appointment, they drew the tattoo for me, one night for the outline (3 hours), one night for shading (3 hours). Yes, 2 sessions - 6 hours total. Why so long? Because it's big. Anyhow, it was like that. The more I think of getting it, the more it sticks to me until I just can't shake it off and I just had to have it. Same think with the flight attendant-sudden-switch-of-career thing is. And what a way to really want something...on a season when they're not hiring! Well, if there's a will, there's a way. The only problem is that I have a bad sense of direction so it might take a little longer for me to find that way. In any case, I'll try.

Wow, this post is actually long. Well, I gotta get back to work.

Blah

Nothing much going on lately but work. Even my day job became busy because my boss, the one I'm assisting, is on vacation so I'm doing more things. I'm also doing the archive log which is taking forever to finish. But tonight I'll have a break. I'm going out with my gal pals and watch a chick flick. Should be fun. I have tomorrow off also at my other job so I can finally sleep in.

It's really nice to be told smart, or be treated as a "real" adult, or to ask consultation about an area I majored in college - which hasn't really been put into practice. It's nice because I don't expect it. My "colleagues" here at my day job asks for my opinion - serious discussions, as well as career changing decisions. It feels good to be sought for opinion and it feels better when my opinions mattered. At the same time, I feel the sense of heavy responsibility because any thing I say is ground for professional impact - which means it can hold against me if ever by chance I'm wrong. The beautiful life of growing up...blah!

Thanks for reading

Well, I had a busy week. I worked both jobs on Wednesday. On Thursday, I gave away my shift on my second job because I was tired. I also started re-arranging the archive room for my day job. On Friday, I was able to finish archiving and so I started checking the employee status of the ones I found in archive. I didn't work that night at my second job.

On Saturday I was supposed to be off but my co-worker called me the day before to know if I could work for her, so I worked from 5:15 am until about 1:30 pm. I met with my friends at about 5 pm. As usual, it was game night. We played ziggity, pictionary and pool. We also watched the boxing match between Pacquiao and Velasquez. TKO. Nice.

Yesterday was a lazy day. After church and lunch, we just watched TV at home. At about 3 pm, I drove my younger brother to where he was to submit his application for employment. Then we went grocery store to buy steak sauce. I bought bar-b-q sauce instead. Go figure. When we got home, it was Karaoke for an hour and a half, then dinner, then TV, then sleep. And now I'm back to work.

Thanks people for dropping in and also for the people who have been leaving comments. I didn't think any of this is worth reading, definitely not that exciting. Thanks for reading :)

I can't believe

Well, I've been actually working today and Friday. I had the weekend off so that was nice. My younger brother came home from boot camp on Friday night. My mom told me after I got home from my second job. We ate out to a buffet lunch on Saturday as to feed my brother "real" food. Anyhow, we didn't expect him to come home this past weekend. We were expecting him this coming weekend so our plans of taking him out would be then. I hang out with my friends from about past 4pm until almost 1 am, with a little side tour from me for picking and dropping my mom of from work to our house at around 10pm. Then on Sunday, we went to church in the morning. I went to see my friend from up north at about 7pm. I got lost on my way there. What's new.

Yesterday we didn't have work at the office so I had my self scheduled at my other job during the day time so I can turn in early at night. I was supposed to start at 2 pm but my co-worker was sick and called me to come in early. So I did. I started at 11:30am instead. I was supposed to get off at 6:45 pm but I had to stay a little bit longer because it was really busy. I left at 7:05 pm. Anyhow, I didn't really mind because it was time and a half payment.

This morning I was supposed to call work before I come in because they might need me. Long story short, I got in 2 hours after my regular 8am shift. There's more gory details but it still confuses me. Anyway, I have to leave soon and go to my other job. I can't believe it's September already.
