Freedom comes with a hefty pricetag
I am sooo freakin' broke. Yung savings ko... Exag, di ko na na-save. This is what you get when you resign without a go-to job. But I still don't regret resigning. I would have lost my voice if I didn't. Actually, ngayon nga, hindi ko na makanta yung ibang abot ko dati. To think I quit smoking na. It's crazy.
Ang tagal ng backpay ko from HSBC. I'm expecting to get a little over 5K man lang, sa tinagal-tagal ng overtime ko para maka-quota. Pag nakuha ko yun, I swear, I'll head straight to Big Apple Express Spa for a much-needed massage. Surprisingly, being unemployed is more stressful for me. I really need to find a job soon, and it's not just because I'm almost out of dough. I'm simply not accustomed to being such a bum.
Applications have been sent out. I'm waiting for responses na lang. Tingin ko bagsak ako sa ibang interviews ko, but what the hey, there are plenty of other companies I could apply to naman. Besides, yun yung mga di ko rin naman trip masyado. Kung wala talaga, I could always opt for some random BPO (di lang talaga ako pwede sa call center dahil sa lalamunan ko. Sayang, laki pa naman ng sweldo lalo na pag outbound). Pero I should keep dreaming, hoping for a break.
It's not about Arnean pride, kung bakit ayoko mag-call center. I mean, nag-call center na nga ako di ba? I mean, it's a bank but call center department ako. It's more of yung purpose ko, kung saan ako may mas malaking ma-i-co-contribute. Madami na namang tao sa call centers eh; di ako kawalan sa mundong yon. Gusto ko yung may magiging impact ako kahit papaano naman. Not impact like sisikat ako, but yung impact na, meron akong maiimpluwensyahan para mapabuti. [Whew, lalim.] Totoo.
