Normal Day at Work

07-14-2010 Wednesday

For a change, work has been slightly pleasant for me. We have a long wait time in between calls unlike before when we can't even take a few seconds off of the phone to breathe. Now when I say 'long wait time', I mean 'looooong wait time' and I'm dead serious I couldn't even believe it myself. Maybe it's a slow time of the year for people to call Sales, maybe people are not just in the mood to call, whatever it is, I'm thankful they're not bothering me.

So while I'm sitting here, staring at the computer monitor, waiting for a call to come in, I'm thinking of what I'm gonna post for this day's blog entry. It's not that I really care about having a specific topic, I'm more concerned of which demon to release this time. You should know by now that this blog is a wailing wall, a collection of my personal demons, and anything-in-between about me. It's all me. At least this is not considered narcissism because I don't fill this with pictures of my dear old self. I ain't that fucked up yet.

Ok, so what boring story do I tell this time? Uhhm, it rained earlier? We don't have any electricity for more than 12 hours? The second storm of the year hit the country today? Nah. These stuff are all over the papers and news channels...

What else can I share today? Nothing much, really. Oh wait, here's one.

I got home and it's dark as a dungeon in there. I walked very slowly trying not to hit on anything or anyone in the house. My hands were outstretched as I search for the door of our room when it suddenly opened. I couldn't see his face but I can tell that Alex just woke up, even from the dark, I saw the strands of his hair in a disheveled mass.

I entered the room and closed the door. "Could you turn the light on?"

"Power's off. No electricity." he announced, stretching.

Darn the storm. Then, I remembered about bitching on him yesterday, the bad things I've said and how sad he is for losing his job. I put my bag down.

"Sorry." I said as I open my arms to hug him tight.

His shoulders slumped down as I enclosed my arms around him. That's all I could do to somehow make him feel better. I felt sorry for him. I felt shitty for myself. We hugged for a long moment. No words, only silence as I ran my hand through his hair, then on his back. I feel like it's the best thing to do to comfort him.

Too boring? He-he. Well, it's something meaningful for me. The fact that I connect to him like that means we're really doing good in our relationship. Makes me wish this could last longer...

Anyway, back to my day here at work. It is now 11:30, I logged in at 9:00, did Overtime from 7 to 8:30 and I only have 2 calls. Splendid! And today's my last day, I'll be on leave tomorrow.

I looked like shit, I only had a 3 hour sleep if I'm not mistaken. Damn that black-out. Hopefully, I'll get some good sleep tomorrow. Then, I plan on going home to gramma for the weekend to share her the good news about my 2D echo result. Happy happy happy. This is gonna be a good weekend. No need to dwell on the negativities.

Woops, it's getting busy here..have to go.... :D
