And because the management favors the Sales group over the Support group, the Web Team was transferred to another schedule, 2PM-10PM. Before, we’re the only ones who are using our own PCs. But because the company is “growing” and there are insufficient PCs to accommodate the newbies, they had to move our schedule so the Agents could work on their schedule. I don’t get it. Why do they treat the Support Group as if we’re less significant? If not for us, will the Sales have something to sell?

I’m still unsure if I like this sked better. Hmm, let me try to weigh the pros and cons..

CONS:
One. It’s a little dangerous to commute after 10PM. Considering I’ll be passing through EDSA (Manila’s busiest, most dangerous main road) since it’s the only way I could get home. Unless I’d ride a cab, which is also unsafe! I’m starting to be anxious about those horrible stories people being mugged while walking the streets alone. =/
Two. The sun is scorching hot outside at around 1PM when I leave for the office. Scorching hot!
Three. Goodbye social life! No meet-ups at the mall with friends after office hours.
Four. We can’t render overtime at the office anymore. Call Center Agents are scheduled to use our PCs right before and after our schedule.
Five. I’m no longer able to watch some of the shows I’ve grown to love on TV. By the time I get home, I’ll be just in time to watch the late night news.

And the, PROS:
One. I don’t have to wake up so early in the morning. — That’s it! I can’t think of anything else! Waaaah.

It’s not like I can do something to change this. And it’s not like I’m actually complaining. I’m just, you know… weighing my pros and cons. Haha! Good thing is, the people up there said that we’re not gonna stay in this schedule for long. They might have us work on our regular schedule after this week. Might. They might not. :(

Enuf ranting now. I was glad to read that this website was acknowledged at Kutitots.com, so yey. Check it out. :)

Like i haven’t been having enough problems already.

Finally, I have a few minutes to spare! With all the copywriting, web template-editing jobs I am working on, I hardly have the time to visit and read other people’s blogs, let alone, write on my own. You can imagine my joy right now that I can actually tweak my site!

I’m no longer sure if this freelance job is worth it. I am thisclose to giving up. It’s taking so much of my time and energy when I’m already too drained from my regular job. But you know, the pay is good. Plus, I’m able to send money to my mom now without having to worry if I’d survive myself. So that makes me think twice somehow. If you come to think of it, it’s actually stability vs sanity. I wonder which one is the wiser choice. Hmm.

Maybe if the freelance job actually involved me designing a website then I wouldn’t be this bored and burned out. :D

Last night, I ate dinner with my brother, his girlfriend, and Deej at Libis. I think it’s cool that I could eat dinner with my brother and Deej at the same time, so maybe there’s not going to be a problem there. After the dinner, I kinda felt bad when Deej told me he felt “out of place” because my brother, his girlfriend and I were speaking in our dialect all throughout our conversations. He on the other hand understood only a few words, so he just nodded along and smiled, not sure what he was agreeing to. Haha. I apologized to him and told him maybe we could speak in Tagalog next time. It’s just that, it’s weird to talk to somebody in another language when you know you can communicate better in your own dialect.

I’ve made new blogger friends! Thanks for the comments on my previous entry. :)

I really hope I could write more often in my blog. It’s just a big waste of space, and I didn’t set this up for it to gather moss. And maybe next time I could write a more sensible entry.
