A SHORT *aggravated* COME BACK NOTE. (pretty short)
I am back.
OH YES I AM. Because for the record, our good ol' PC wasn't busted at all. My older sister (who's a lot more "tech-y" than me) has finally figured out what was wrong. Was just some plugging and connection issues after all. Anyway, our DSL was also restored this morning, thank you kuya bayantel! So yeah, i am a happy camper. ♥
I thought I would be lucky the whole day actually. Made a few good sales on my shift this morning, had sunshine-y moments, made new friends, ate good food for lunch and some other happy thoughts that filled in. Great indeed.
Oh but you really can't have the best of all worlds. And this is where the glitch comes. At the end of our shift, Ate Vianny and I decided to drop by our other sister Ate Gera's office in Makati to get our paycheck from their advertising company for our 7 days work as a mall coordinator for Globe Telecoms. After 3 months of waiting, it was finally gonna be given to us...COLD CASH, TAX FREE! We we're all sleepy and tired and hungry coming from our graveyard shift but opted to still go for it despite those facts (not to mention the traffic and the distance from our office) since we thought we'd be gaining something from all this after all. And like what they would always say, no pain no gain and there would always be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. OR SO WE THOUGHT?
Why? Because we have not traveled all those miles, faced that mind-boggling traffic in EDSA, run low on gas (that was supposedly good for 3 days if the van was just used from home to work and vice versa), defied the tempting invites of sleeping in our well-fixed bed and passed on the sumptuous lunch waiting for us at home only to discover an incomplete Talent Fee (just half of it) and a misspelled name (no actually a wrong second name in my case) printed on our paychecks. BRILLIANT right? I was expecting to be P__,500 richer when I went home this afternoon. But no, bursted bubbles once more because obviously, we couldn't claim the cash due to the wrong paycheck information. It was a good thing Ate Gera was there, and gave us part of her TF to make up for it (1k for us each), but I was still very disappointed. Imagine, 3 months of idle time and waiting for that uber uber delayed payment...3 months of continuously reminding the person in charge of this Fee we've worked so hard for and she did not even had the thought of putting the right names on the paycheck. I mean, hello, she did not even had the inkling to ask my sister who was her officemate to confirm! That's just sooooooo depressing. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful still for this work opportunities that the person made possible for us, but this is just too much. I am tired, hungry, stressed out with work and life and have so many bills and debts waiting to get settled (plus 2 pairs of old pants waiting to be replaced) and the last thing I have to worry about is a misspelled name on my paycheck. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

But oh well, God is still good because he made a way for the human populace to discover how to make lechon. And I have to commend the Lydia's Lechon restaurant Fairview branch for the very delightful late-lunch they have served us. Somehow we were able to redeem our selves and our happy thoughts after pigging-out on the their specialty, plus the bopis, barbecue and bulalo soup. In all fairness ha.
Okay. That's all i have to say today. I just needed to rant, as usual. Need to get some sleep. Ciao.
PS: For the backstabbing bitch I was talking about on my facebook status/friendster shoutouts...YOU HAVE YET TO FEEL MY WRATH! Prepare because I am not in the mood to spare! (wow, rhyme. lol)
