It’s been forever since I’ve last blogged. I didn’t go incognito. Blame it on PLDT. They suddenly decided to do a line migration of our phone lines and that left us unreachable for 8 days now. I currently check my email once every 2 or 3 days on an internet shop, just like now, and [...]
Since I quit my previous job and moved on, I’ve been on the lookout for a new and better opportunity. Last December, I was fortunate enough to work on a freelance project with my friend, Kate. The client we worked for was satisfied with our produced results that he wanted to hire both of us [...]
After considering part time for two weeks, I’ve decided to leave my job. I don’t think I can live with part time. Not having a full time job means that I can’t pay the bills. I take care of our phone bill and our Internet connection bill. Sometimes I give something extra for the groceries. [...]
It started last Friday. My status at work is “part time”. It’s not a good thing at all because that just means I do not have a regular job. 12 hours a week? My salary is now 1/4 of my previous salary! My mom agrees that I should quit my job. I don’t have a [...]
We were sent a notice a month ago that our contract ends on December 14, but until now, we haven’t received a final notice. According to our accountant, we should continue working until further notice. I am really confused. I know I should be happy that I still have a job, but lately, all I [...]
I will be unemployed soon. On December 14, 2008, my contract is officially terminated along with my colleagues. It is unfortunate that this should happen right before the holidays and my birthday. My boss is squeezing in another project before our contract ends. I know I work fast, but I am taking my time. I [...]
Working from home is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I can sleep until 9 in the morning and I don’t have to fight off traffic to and from work. Right now, I don’t see anything negative about it. Since I am just the web designer in an online learning company [...]
Today, I went to my previous job to get my back pay. I was surprised when I didn’t get the full payment. When I checked the breakdown of my final pay, my regularization pay was not included. I was quite disappointed because that means I need to wait for a long time again and go [...]
I went to the office today for a staff meeting. I had to fight off bad traffic going to Makati City, and to add to my gripe, there was an accident that caused a huge a** bad traffic on my way to the city. I had to suffer 3 hours of travel time when it [...]
For 2 days, I will be working from home. Well, I actually started today. My mom had to run errands and someone has to be here to guard the house. Working from home is actually freeing. I don’t have to wear work clothes, beat the morning and afternoon traffic, and I don’t have to spend [...]
