Busy busy busy....as others would say.
I'm very very thankful that I finally landed on a job. Right now, I'm in my 5th week of training, and still trying to bunch my numbers up (I'm on the e-mail team).
Five weeks ago, I was very lucky that a friend finally informed me that their account is hiring (EA Games; I guess you'd have a pretty good guess who that friend is). Anyway, during the interview process, he'd go scaring and pressuring me that I should get the position. In my head I was thinking "Why not? This is a good job, not to mention the thing that I've been doing for months". Passing up this opportunity would be a great waste. Also, I've been itching to get out of the house...
So... the interview & test went on for the whole day. Every time I pass one 'stage', I exhaled a relieving sigh, with my hands clamped together and almost like praying (according to him). And as the final interview commenced, I can't help but shake. Why? Three things: Nervousness, chill (literally), and coffee; you expect me to be steady after 4 cups of coffee and little meals? I actually imagined myself collapsing while shaking after the interview. But thankfully, I'm no weakling. While one of the agents (and later realized it was a Tier 2) accompanied me to the jeep terminal, he told me that I'm in. And that was around 11:30 PM. Yup, my interview lasted till that time. But it was well worth it.
Two weeks of training with the guys (literally!), I was then assigned on the e-mail team. Again, lucky me - at that time I got so little money that I was really going hungry (almost). TC Lexy gave me pizza because I'm with the team then. And prior to that, a week ago when the storm was on (Milenya), the TCs from the phone support had a pizza party (food shortage in other words lol!). I got a portion of the pizza, and I was once again saved from starvation.
(Insert: please pardon my notes; I do kinda look pathetic but this is what really happened. Now, I'm trying to minimize my expenses. TY.)
And just last week, I got to "avoid" taking care of my younger siblings. My dad had to go to the hospital for an appendix surgeon, and my mom accompanied him. I guess it was pretty sneaky, but I can't afford getting stressed with the house problems. Not right now...
So, here I am, still working and kicking. I'm starting to get along with the people here; although at some points I'm still embarrassed and pretty 'shy' (gawd, this word is so childish-kinda -_-;;). I had so little time going online for pRO, and my other friends are starting to wonder where I disappeared to. I keep telling them I go home seldomly; a result of me 'camping' here in the office. But seriously, I'm enjoying my work and I have so much space than before. Of course, I still had those limitations.
Will update this again another time. Have to prepare for my 6 P.M. shift. Later~
