Nothing but a Headache

08-08-2009 Saturday

We've had this new schedule for more than a week now but I feel like my body is still trying to get used to it. I still have a hard time trying to sleep in the early morning and when I happen to sleep early, I tend to wake up way too early. The result? Headache, oh and my face also hurts, I don't know how you can relate that to lack of sleep, but it happens to me.

My motivation for this day is that it's the last day of the week and tomorrow is my long awaited day off but to be honest, I barely feel my day-off, as k my colleagues and they'll say the same thing. After having the 4day shift for a few months, we all feel like a 5 day shift makes the week longer than it already is and the 2 days off is something that passes by so quick. I sleep, I woke up and the next thing I knew, I have to go to work again.

For the most part, our work is tiring, as opposed to what most peole think when they heard the word call center. We go to work as normal human beings but as our shift progresses, we develop brain damage from talking too much, drinking too much caffeine and entertaining stress as part of our everyday life. The cynics will even think that we have nothing to complain about since we get paid tons of cash anyway, when payday comes. Well, if you'll consider the things we have to give up, putting our health at risk and being battered inside, you'll think that no amount of money can make up for those.

Like I always say in most of my posts, I need this job so I would really need a lot of motivations to continue and I know it has to come from myself. Sometimes, I still wish I could be a normal teenager who goes to college and has nothing to worry about but projects, assignments and stuff like that. What else can I do, I'm already here, I have to grow up, I have things to carry on my shoulders and I know it will all pay off in God's time, like what they usually say.

So for now, I gotta go. I have some whining Americans waiting for me on the other line. Beep.
