unless he is worth the wait....
180 days to burn or so
Until he comes home....
damn......

Please name the disease....
What is wrong with them?
I am unusually irritated by people who are not just wide-eyed with curiousity but with in-your-face self-righteous crap that barely masks envy. They would usually chide you for having material excess and casually suggest for you to toss things their way, literally. Their favorite speech always has something to do with coming from a Poor Family (emphasis on the Poor) and doing everything to help support the younger siblings.
Their attempts to sound modern and fluent grate public hearing. They bungle the language but will be ultimately offended if you correct them. They use your lipstick like a permanent marker and make ducklips all day. They roll their eyes at your new shoes but badger you in letting them fit the pair. Sucking up to the boss and parroting memos are favorite activities.
Soon they show up wearing accessories and tops similar to yours. They're not shy about asking for hand-me-downs, too. If you had the misfortune of inviting them to your pad, they will raid your closets and ask: "which ones are you no longer using?"
If there's one thing I am thankful, it hasn't gone to asking for your boyfriend's friends' numbers. Or insisting to meet your friends outside work. But, please God, when Starbucks opens this year, I need to find reasons to avoid them or find more hole-in-the-wall sanctuaries. To be not seen in a place to be seen seems a sin to them. Just because you can now afford means you can afford.
Ahhh...bitch mode...smiling may now commence....

Thank God I'm back!!!
Thank God I'm back!!!
I'm on my way. I'm bound to unload some unwanted luggage which comes in many forms. Plus that the office gave me back access to my blog.
Here's a big kiss to the rest of the world!

I need to have a crash course with labor code
Can I bitch again?
How long should I be working? I work two to eleven pm with one hour dinner break. But I have to stay for ten more minutes for additional announcements. I am not getting paid for that and I don't see the point why I have to wait when we are online for the whole damned shift so as to minimize yelling over the cubicles for messages. But I report to the office for 'extra' AM classes (which I am indeed paid extra for but is obliged to take more AM classes from 8am to 12nn if my sched for this period is not filled up.)
Now the bigwigs want me to report to work at 1pm every monday (it wasn't stipulated in the contract that I signed) for company meetings. My sup calls it "bonding time". The OM said its just briefing. I know I just want the seat nearest the door.

22:30 until closing time
If an idle mind is a devil’s playground, how about a hyperactive mind with lots of idle time to burn?
Welcome to my peculiar life as an online teacher. We don’t have sales quota to beat, only a number of students to maintain and increase. We don’t have AHT but we have class schedules to keep. We don’t have irate customers we cannot see but we sometimes see rather indignant faces on the crisp video feed staring back at you if you missed a word. We never had culture training to prepare us, only grapevine lectures on what or what not to say.
I never thought I would ever be confined to a cubicle but here I am in a 4x3 cubbyhole painted in the shade of dark beige (I keep remembering a particular shade of a nail polish color). No flowers on the desk since the you have your LCD monitor, keyboard and your files. I opted for a mousepad with the Angel Sanctuary design instead of sticking with the company issued boring blues and beach sceneries. No USBs allowed, my webcam at home is way cooler than the one I have at work and I can practically hear everybody else with my single earpiece headset.
So what do we do with our free time? It really depends since Youtube and other streaming sites are banned. Online games were shut down months ago since they played havoc with the connections. We are allowed Facebook and other sites for surfing. I have my Multiply and Blogger to fiddle with. Of course, we have paperwork to deal with first like students’ performance records, attendance sheets (I’m really tempted to bring a class record here), class counts and the dreaded IR (see, we have them, too). After all is done, where do we turn to?
Almost everybody here is connected in Facebook and Friendster. But I ventured further, I’d like to say, by using going to sites that are rather bizarre and outlandish to the rest of my fellow teachers. Sites like www.peopleofwalmart.com and http://icanhascheezburger.com are good examples of websites they haven’t even heard of. But my favorite is www.darwinawards.com where anybody contemplating morosely of their lot in this world can get a laugh. But tonight, as of this writing, I found a site that just made my sleepiness go away. After typing a random line of words, for example, get revenge on your ex, and actual sites came up. Getrevengeonurex.com is one site and, well, no free galleries. The services offered are tempting but the dollar price tag was enough to stop me.
Idle time…idle hands…hyperactive minds…..
Let’s go home before Halloween starts early this year.
