Some schedule change announcements.
Work wanted to shake and bake everyone so I now have a new schedule and a new team.
I now work 2030H to 0530H, Saturdays to Wednesdays. If that's confusing, just take note that my day-offs are Thursdays and Fridays.
I made some minor changes here especially with the tagboard. It has been acting up for several months now and I just ignored it. As of now, those changes haven't taken effect yet. I wish it would hurry up so I don't have to see that annoying pop-up asking for username and password anymore.
What else... oh yeah, I have a new mobile number, if I haven't updated you on this yet, just let me know. The old number is still up and running anyway.
That's it for this months update, aside from work there's still KoL, Khan and a lot of 'other' things to keep me busy.
I am a Taurus.
(Also known as "Bull")
My Horroscope starts like this:
" Petty, annoying and a whiny pain in the neck, a Taurus loves to brown-nose and is often a snitch to boot. In life and work, always blows with the wind, and runs to answer to his supperiors' smallest whim. " (Read more | Find yours)

Skedetcetera...
Just in case someone is thinking mahirap ako hagilapin, hindi yun totoo.
Maayos naman sked ko sa buong buwan and it's consistent.
For the month of September, my working hours start from 6pm-3am.
I don't have work on Saturdays and Sundays.
Yun.
Dapat mag-post na ako pero di ko alam kung ano sasabihin ko.
Katamad na rin pala mag-Ingles esp especially kung kausap mo parati medyo tanga.
Wala naman nagbago sa mga 'Kano. Ganun pa rin sila, mas lalo pang bumobo kasi kailangan talaga sila turuan tungkol sa internet at dsl.
Kadalasan yung problema nila maso-solve naman na kung pinapatay lang sana nila ang modem and computer nila kapag hindi nila ginagamit.
Eh ayaw nila e.
The usual.
Di pa ako bored sa work. Buti naman.

training room posse
It was an early Saturday morning and someone brought her camera along (the girl in blue at the foreground)...and trainors and trainees alike struck a pose.
People were smiling because we just had a major product exam and almost everyone passed. But it's Monday now and those smiles have become teensy-weensy apprehensive as we move deeper into the intricacies of the product we support and another major exam is looming.
And yes, fafi Peloy, I enjoy the company of these people. We have been somewhat reduced (we started out 31 and now we're only 21) and people form a bond under such rigorous conditions. And no, you won't hear invites for a gimmick or a 'night-out' every after shift, but we did have a small celebration right after this picture was taken n_n. Conditions are way harder than THAT of the previous training, but it is infintely more satisfying to hit the mark this time around.
oh yes, I still have problems with the dress code. o_0

from Ely, because I think Capt. Jack Sparrow is the greatest too!
Which one of Captain Jack Sparrow's bizarre sayings from Pirates of the Caribbean are you?
You are "Welcome to the Caribbean, love." You're more than a little world-weary, but also intelligent and you keep your head when things get dodgy. You're everybody's favorite drinking buddy, but your stubbornness does get in the way sometimes.

Dressing up for work
Yes. I dragged my lazy self out of the house and dropped my butt at the nearest call center recruitment in the area. Bungled the screening process just fine, but still managed to get myself into a tech account. Got through the 1st week (accent training) even with massive doses of paranoia and some insecurities. Now, I'm in the 2nd week of training and we'll be talking about the product later tonight.
I guess I'm doing ok if, so far, my biggest worry everyday is what I'm going to wear. Aaaah, business casual. I would love to hate it, but I know I have learn to live with it. It's just difficult when you don't have much in your closet and payday is soooooooo far away and you have other obligations that hold sway. (I just wanted to rhyme so sue me.)

Dad is still in the hospital. It has been more than 45 days and everyone worries cause the PhilHealth coverage only lasts that long. Last night my mom said she had to sign a promissory note just to have dad dialysed.

I didn't know exactly how to react when my sister texted me last week and asked if I could join a game show contest just to help with the hospital bills. (I didn't even know the show she mentioned.) I didn't reply to that message at all.
At the end of last month, the bill has amounted to P200,000. Whatever money relatives and other people have given has been used up for the hemodialysis (which is paid separately) and the tons of medicines. She called me last night to tell me that.
------------------------------
Hmm..as of July 5 it's P258,812.76.

Dad has been in the hospital for more than a month. If last week I mentioned that he was out of the ICU, he was brought back in the middle of the wwek because he had difficulty breathing. Things we're looking up again and he was progressing fine when...apparently last night he became restless, managed to sit up in bed even with all the restraints and in the process removed the vital tubes attached to him (i.e. one attached to the ventilating machine and the other would be the feeding tube).
These tubes, of course, had to be re-inserted again. I don't think anyone among us can really imagine how it would feel to have a tube in the mouth going to the lungs or one inserted outside the nose that goes down to the stomach.
This is the third time this has happened and is the primary reason why he stays in the ICU.
The money involved is not even mentioned...hospital bills, medicines, the ongoing dialysis,etc. Some relatives have given financial assistance but that has already been severely depleted.
It just gets frustrating and I'm not even there. I'm tired of thinking about it, but I know it's nothing compared to what my mom goes thru.

At the Sickbay
The photo of the family was taken as soon as I arrived at the ICU Watcher's Lounge in Brokenshire Hospital in Davao City last June 7. I got back in Manila yesterday afternoon.
My dad is still in the ICU at this time but he is infinitely doing better. He has approximately spent 10 days in intensive care already and yesterday underwent his 7th dialysis. At the best of my limited medical understanding, he was diagniosed with chronic renal failure and pulmonary congestion. It's hard to pinpoint a specific cause, but smoking is definitely one of the major culprits. He quit smoking sometime way back and, of course, took up the habit again at some point. He stopped smoking again only this March and has been in and out of the hospital since April.
This morning I was informed that his doctor has ordered the removal of his endotracheal tube and he is off the mechanical ventilator. That means he can already breathe on his own and will be out of the ICU soon! After that there's still the dialysis to contend with, but it's good to know that his condition is improving daily.
--------
I made a mistake in my previous post. My dad is 64 years old. My bad.

almost at the end of (calendar) days
I refer only to my age with that title. Friends who were at the midi-bash at Bengki's would know what I mean as we had a banner announcing it right at the door.
In the ref right know we have some leftover alcohol: half a bottle of Ely's orange vodka, half a bottle of Absolut vanilla vodka, 3/4 of Cuervo tequila and an unopened bottle of red wine. But what I want right now is just a bottle of ice-cold coke. ho.
My dad is sick. For quite some time now, but I could never understand the extent as my mom tended to text garbled messages when talking about it. I know she was just worrying a lot. From my sister in Cebu I got a clearer picture: high blood pressure, diabetes and now a complication with the kidneys which might involve peritoneal dialysis (I don't have a clear idea what this is) if nothing else will work. Last night my eldest sister texted that they were again admitting him to the hospital cause my dad was complaining of severe stomachache. No news yet after that. I'm not really sure if I should start worrying yet. Sometimes its a bit hard to get a good grasp of the situation at this distance. My dad's only 61.
It's a good birthday, but when something like that overshadows it...it just makes me think, most of the time not want to think about it. My birthday's not till Wednesday.

Happy New Year, Happy No Post
what's new....
new TM at work...and these days handling calls mostly from one part of the US only and it's not as easy as it sounds. You can catch me getting irate these days because of it, something that has never happened before.
We've been at work 4 months now and a lot of people have quit already. It's not really surprising. If I didn't NEED the money, I would have gone down that path too.
I'd rather not think about it now.
Day off. Off day.
