this, is rare


yes, i miss the life i had in PS. not the work, the life..i miss going home not loaded with any work-related problem..i miss not doing any report (the only 'report' done then was call-docu..) i miss waking up at fixed hours and drag myself out of bed because it's time to hit the restroom...i miss wearing a jacket (silly..) i miss putting a headset on (t'was a cool thing..) and MOST OF ALL: I MISS MY ENGLISH!!!!!
God, please send me an american doctor whom i can discuss with using the english language!
and yes,
I MISS THE ABSENCE OF 'ESTABLISHING RAPPORT AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS!!!'
why?
because in PS, i can shout at my customer and forget about him because the chances of another encounter is as thin as me marrying brad pitt...
because in PS, i can be extra nice only once to a customer who will forget my name anyway..
because in PS, i don't have to see the customer eye to eye so while my voice is sooo dear, he doesn't know that i'm wrekcing havoc with my bare hands...
because in PS, i don't need to give my real name, so the hell with a customer's lawsuit against Nadia the e-rep! (yeah, i know he can locate me..but my company will take good care of it..)
I MISS THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT
because in PS, there is such a thing as a night diff..
because in PS, there is such a thing as an overtime pay
because working during holidays means money
I MISS MY ENGLISH
again...
I MISS MY SUPERVISOR
I MISS THE CASUAL LIFE
like addressing ur boss by his first name..no such thing as ma'am or sir..i love it! it makes me feel at ease
like not wearing any uniform at all as long as u look descent enough
I MISS CEBU
I MISS MY FRIENDS THERE

but i don't miss my job..just the way life was..

I DON'T MISS WAKING UP AND GOING TO WORK KNOWING i MYT ENCOUNTER ANOTHER AMERICAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO READ
"mr. smith, we have rules and regulations to abide by.."
"what rules and regulations?? i wasn't told!!"
"..asshole..."
"did u just call me an asshole? lemme talk to ur supervisor!"
"asshole? i called u an asshole? what i meant mr smith was FUCK YOU!"
I DON'T MISS PUTTING ON AN AVAIL MODE KNOWING ANYTIME A STUPID BITCH IS JUST WAITING ON QUEUE..
"Hi, there, barbara! how's ur day!"
"fine."
"great. so, how may i help u?"
"i want to cancel my flyt."
"lemme help u then. can i have ur itin #."
"i don't have it. can u locate it for me?"
"sure, that's not a problem. can i have ur e-mail addy so i can look up ur record here on my end?"
"don't have it either.."
..fyi: her tone of voice was so morose u'd think i'm the one who owes her a favor
"so, what do u have there? u have ur tel # associated with ur account with us?"
"bullshit! why can't u just locate my flyt using my name???"
...like she's the only one who has the name barbara whatever in the whole world...and yes, did i mention our flyts r international so our membership is worldwide?...
I DON'T MISS BEING PUT UNDER QA..
I DON'T MISS HAVING TO FILE FOR A PTO EVEN IF MY BRONCHITIS IS CAUSING ME TO INHALE WITH DIFFICULTY
I DON'T MISS THE EMOTIONAL TORMENT OF TALKING TO BOSSY AMERICANS..
I DON'T MISS WAITING IN VAIN FOR A PINOY CUSTOMER TO POP UP
