Log-rolling
Warning: As the title precludes, this post contains several issues under one title. This writer will not be liable for feelings of disorientation or dizziness.
Art. 1. Pride and prejudice. While I admit that studying law is clearly no piece of cake, I was crazily arrogant enough to believe that my underweight (my medical exam result is testimony to that! *sobs*) body could actually handle handling office hours added to my school time. Hmmm, is it the straightjacket for me then? Well, my new employer, Health Care Corporation of America initially had me lined up as a recruitment specialist, the offer still stands though but if I wanted to have a more relaxed work load (and not go insane while I’m at it), I had to take a more secretarial role in the office. Officially, I have no title, I am mixed breed in this company, performing duties of a telephone operator, a check releaser, a part-time writer/editor, receptionist and customer service. It’s a crazy feeling not being in the limelight and being one of the “drones”. While everything and everyone is so nice and peachy, I guess it’s just me who’s still stuck in the middle, having a hard time swallowing my pride. Water please!
Art. 2. Study habits and old friends. Believe it or not, I am actually studying. Studying as in reading notes and assignments before class, making notes, reviewing cases and articles, going to the law library every available moment I have. Yup, the diva of crash cramming and dubious study habits is indeed, studying. Almost another version of The Gods Must Be Crazy and my friends are busting their guts laughing over this “personal transition”. But the good thing about all the craziness going on in my life, that even though I lost my intimate relationship with the animax channel (*hysterical wailing*) I seem to have reconnected with a lot of old friends. Because my work is really light (brain-numbingly light), I’ve gotten the chance to chat with friends online plus I’ve also been hanging out a lot with buddies because Vince is really and horribly and terminally busy with work these days.
Art. 3. What’s that again about absence and growing fonder? Blame it on communication breakdown, inattentiveness, insensitivity and work-induced stress but Vince and I have the last few times we’ve been together. While we managed to get things in order just last week, another bramble thorn bush gets thrown in our relationship. His project is wrapping up and with that, he has to spend his hours, from
9AM-11PM
in the office from Monday and even Sunday. Talk about rotten luck! The heavens must be conspiring against us or, somebody is praying really hard for the two of us to break up. But being the “never give-up” person that I am, I proposed that the two of us take a leave from work on Monday to catch up and spend time together. And here’s what he said, “Sige, okay Monday—tamang-tama, libre na ko ulit on September!” ARGH!
