Mind You, it could be soooo much worse…
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006I’m a whiner, self-confessed, shamelessly admitting it. I have a love-hate relationship with every job that I get into, and my honeymoon stages with my new occupation comes and goes every three months. Well, let’s face it - there is no such thing as a perfect office stint! There would always be "krung-krung" officemates, bitches on heels, pesky accounting folks who wouldnt give out the budget, tamad friends who eventually get you to "join them if you cant beat them," and those that are so overzealous it bugs the hell out of you. And like any other filipino these days, scared of going poor, I stick it out til I can hold the drama…or til a better offer comes along…. and most times, I choose to end it with a bang. …Well, youre going anyway, so why not be the best actress in the world? What I’m driving at is if you’re itching to leave your seat this very moment, and is one SENT BUTTON away to resignation, think again! Better yet…take a trip to the mall! I promise you by the time you’re done, you would love your current winter cold seat inside the office…in other words…it can be so much worse…how so?
First stop: FX Driver - can you endure the varied odors surrounding you, and can you stand being stuck in traffic for like half of your day, it can be fatal, dude? and worse…pwede kang maholdap! Asawa mo lang ang swerte dito - remember, BASTA LOVER, SWEET LOVER! hehe…
On to the mall…GUARD - The only way I will agree to being a guard is if and when my one and only task is maging taga - kapkap ng boys as they cue up! Hell, what other job pays you to look hot in that uniform and touch cuties? pero napapansin nyo ba: bakit laging hindi pantay ang blush - on ng guard…And I swear a few years back…in megamall, I saw a lady guarding ( she was wearing a skirt), who had a full - grown mustache! natakot ako…hindi ako nagpakapkap!
Next…Cashier: My gulay this i have done and i will never do again…MATH. When I attempted this, ang pila sa store ay naging singhaba ng EDSA…
Saleslady / Salesman: Imagine catering to everyone’s pressing needs - from devils who wish to be in Prada, to shoppers who ask for a dozen things and not end up buying. Personally, I’m turned off by salespeople who dont do anything but chatter about and do nothing to help customers…But then again there is the annoying kind…Shangri-la na ha may infamous pa ring " Ate, pili na Ate…" hay.
Last but not the least, eto ang favorite ko sa lahat: SINGER SA WOW MAGIC SING. My friend goes: sarap nya no, kanta lang sya pagpasok! But think about it…I dont think I can do that…Magvideoke sa mall, na may milyong milyong taong nakikinig ( na secretly minumura ka na), and isipin mo ang repertoire mo…Everyday gagawa ka ng selection good for 4- 6 hours…shocks! salabat everyday? It’s not as if the population will stop in admiration…pinoy pa - manglalait!
So, bago mo isiping magquit…punta kang megamall…It can be worse bebe…
