Newbie

Friday, December 17, 2004

I'm proud to say that i am "enjoying" work. so far so good. it's because i am practically not working just yet. i'm still in school mode, sitting on that half-recliner for the whole day, forcing your eyes to keep it wide open, stuff your tummy with mentos (they have cost-cut. no more bananas and oranges:(), listening, and pretending to be listening. oh man. for the past few weeks after my last training with other newbies from other teams, i have been on AIDS mode (as if doing something) from 830am till 10am. and for lunch, i have always triggered my "stupid mouth" that almost always gets me in t-r-o-u-b-l-e. oh well. i'm trying hard to give it a break. operative word -- TRYING HARD.

Feeling close.
For the past 2 months (and 2 weeks) that i have been here, i am proud to say that i have "made friends". apart from the friends that were carried over and turned officemates from college (hehe), i have gained few people in my circle. the Ateneo boys, the UP Ladies, and the Green Archers (coED, hehe.) -- collectively known as the NEWBIES. we've had so many funny moments together, from all the practices for the OPI Christmas Party, to the ISD Christmas Party, the DANCE presentations (so much fun, really. despite the BIG BIG humiliation, they were really great experiences!), the games. the PAAARRTTYYYYY!!!! Everything. i hope it doesn't end after all these responsibilities that were burdened on to us (waaah!). besides the fellow newbies, the "oldies" (excuse for the antonym, hehe), were really cool to be with. i never expected people to be that FUNNY and GOOFY.. they all seemed serious at first. well except... harharhar:)

Goodbyes.
Damn. we just came in. but people seemed to be moving out. i am saddened by the thought that we barely knew all these people and they are now packing up and saying goodbyes. darn. it may have felt so hard for them leaving. they have established their second home (and literally speaking, their sleeping refuge) and they are bound to leave. oh well. life is inevitable with saying goodbyes. for there will be no more room for hellos if otherwise. but then again, i still hate saying them... i'm thinking about it though. why did they decide to leave?

The cube.
i still haven't proliferated mine with trash and doodles that i used to do to waste time. and the poems and quotes that you used to live up to. and the pictures. just to remind you of the better days. and the W.O.W. (words of wisdom) to whack you in times you forget.

Great Expectations.
Of course, it doesn't mean that we're getting along with each other will mean that you have really sink in to the family. you still have to live with expectations and still keep yourself altogether. don't come out too loose just yet.. reminder, keep your comments a bit discrete, pay EXTRA attention, do away with unnecessary activities, keep your mouth opened slightly (with only a small hole peeking for breathing and sleek speaking). utter words with substance, and keep your wits in tact. i believe you're losing your touch. keep yourself together. pack it up. like it was. 0r the way it was supposed to be.

Ring, ring, ring! the bells are ringing.

Enjoy every moment of it. Your time might be UP soon.
