I came to work with my whole body shivering inside. Yesterday, we had carbonara for breakfast..and that's where all started. My stomach gave me an excruciating painful attack on and off, then vomit while I was perspiring in dampishly.Today, I slept all day, as if I have lost 3 days of sleep.
Ironically, I cannot afford a second day of absence. I had so many things to do when all I felt I needed was more rest. It felt different coming from an absence. A few of my agents greeted me and asked if I was ok. I'm thankful somehow that they give that kind of regard, well at least for the first time.This were also the moments you'll know who's worried of you and those who are just completely snobbish.As soon as the shift started I had to put them together for a 45-minute huddle. I've always make it a point that I show composure to them at all times, either, physically, emotionally and mentally,,yet this time I cannot mask it anymore, though I know I tried.

--Cheating Bills
It's scorchingly hot and humid. When I lie down on the bed, I can feel the warm bed touching my skin, and my head is almost steaming in heat. It's summer time I know...but this was different.Most of the time, our AC is on plus the electric fan all over the house, so I was anticipating a lot higher bill this time...but really not as much as 7,000 pesos!!
We still could not believe it. We have lessened the use of flat iron, no more rice cooker. Myk thought that our AC could be malfunctioning already since it can hardly our small room anymore. Then, one morning while Myk was fidgeting his cigar and coffee, he told he'd turn down the fuse of the entire house to see if the meter would still run. I was out there watching the electric meter rotates, so I realized he really didnt turned down the fuse. Until I asked, Then did it again. We found out that there was a connection somewhere being used outside when the housemaids do the labors. He waited until the confrontation, and it turned out to be a guilty person trying to turn all things around as if they were not aware of it,,,,of which I dont buy.
..It saddens me to think that those person they've helped in the past while they were scarcely having money...thought of cheating us by doing that. They claim to be ever religious and damn righteous, yet they can stomach praying all Sundays without worrying of that fact..or probably they were praying for that. I started comparing things back in my home, if there were instances similar to what just happened..but I cannot recall anything of the same character in my family.
Why do they have to do that afterall? because we can bay our bills on time?
they are just rare existence. I hope not to ever be contaminated by anyone of them.

---one on one on one
This morning work was just usual. I had enough sleep at least compared to my yesterdays' slumber. With the schedule, I didn't realize how much I'm already wasting my husband's time to rest and sleep. I resent to that level. All that I probably think of is get rest; I'm tired, even if for some my work isn't tough.
Frequent faces greeted me by the station. I was probably too caught thinking about so many plans in my head because one of my reps was complaining about the stinking shitty odor emanating from wherever. Still, it didn’t matter to me.
I pulled one rep for coaching and another...one of the most redundant things I do in a weekly basis. For now, it seems useless already when I talk about same things umpteen times...to 16 or so people. Hardest part of the job is when you are measured according to numbers that these oblivious individuals carry out month over month, given the tips and feedbacks they fail to follow strictly. Well, it's not my focus really, as of the moment. I know that I have done enough to make them retrospect back and forth, so that they can use it every day. For an hour or more, I had an accidental one on one coaching with my manager. Obviously, a lot has changed in her since the time I was almost cursing her useless guts over us to get to do something. From her countenance, I assume that she is at least satisfied with the job I'm doing. She in fact compared me to some other supervisors who are under performing and constantly fail to deliver the tasks, ON TIME. I don’t really care if it was lip service..All I know is that at least she can identify I am doing my job to the least expectation..It's very noticeable that the course of our session are way far from usual...it's because that's how I want it to be going. We missed to touch base on simple things, such as personal life...and the likes. Otherwise, option b remains. "Let it be!"
