Life after High School

Days in TP

It was my first time working in a more humanely company. Well, I worked in sales before... So, you know how inhumane the people there are. Money is all they want. Unlike in TP where we are after providing good quality service.

We had a series of assessments, and I was given the chance to work as an email representative. I was sad because it means I got a low score on the exam. Low end as they say. That's why I became part of the email. But I still got my work. That's a great thing. Many people were not given the chance to work, so, I could still consider myself lucky. Especially during that time, working in a call centre is a very tight competition. I think I am still in for the millennial era. 

That was in December. So, we celebrated our Christmas party at Ultra. Wow! The first time I went to a concert. The beers are overflowing, but I don't drink that much. So, I am just after the food. To be honest, I was culture shocked. Mainly because I am not a party goer kind of lady. For hell's sake, I don't skip the Thursday and Sunday worship service, and we are not allowed to drink liquor and go to this kind of place.

Prior to experiencing the party, I had a suitor. Frank. I never knew he had a crush on me until they invited us for a drinking session. At first, I dumped him. For the reason that he's not my type. But those wave mates I had were pushing him towards me. They say I need a handsome boyfriend as long as the pocket is full. That would be fine.

Well, I tried having dates with him. But, I saw one thing that got me turned off. He's rude to the waiter. I was really disheartened when someone did that because my brother used to be a waiter and for me, if you did that to them, it's like doing it to my brother too.

He was wearing a sad face every day. Like, it's the end of the world for him. Still, I didn't give him a chance. Then, he threatened that he would serenade me in front of the class with my wave mates if I didn't say yes to him. Which he did.

I'm still not happy or touched by this gesture. For me, it's absurd. Or being romantic, that time is not in my mind. I'm just there to work. Nothing else. Besides, I don't like office romance.

So, then, we finished the training and were distributed it to our team leaders. I aced the first trimester of ranking. I was in the top 6. Furthermore, I was never happy because I wanted to be the first. But, I don't envy the first placers. I admire them. So, I often ask them questions when need be.

Going back to Frank. He was still an eager suitor after that. I said in the month of May but ended it in June because the project had finished, and I would go back to studies. I have a bonus for the amount of 12k PHP.  I think that's enough for me to pay my balance in school, so I could continue my studies.
