Of my task today, money problems and a small regret

I am trying to work on projects today, a couple of design work. I am half done with one although I am afraid it won't be good enough. I guess precision and other technical aspects are important in design, qualities I am working hard to improve. Baka kasi ito na ang sagot ko sa kahirapan.

The weekend has been nice, despite being with little money.  I had some bad news about one of our prospects in getting a house of our own. It hasn't fallen apart just yet, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. If it does prove to be good, we will be working very hard to make ends meet. But I really want it.

Oh, I am beginning to hate businessmen. I don't mean everybody who owns a business, but those pesky capitalists who always think of money and earning money and making more money at the expense of others. I have a business degree, and I realize that it was one of the major decisions in my life that I regret. I did that at a young age, I had to make a quick decision and there are few choices for people who are poor.

I am back to my 8-hour-plus work day tonight. I think they are going to kill us. The past month they have been giving us foreign calls to edit, which are all difficult to understand. They give us tests and some more menial work to finish in between. The compensation, thought by many to be big, is not enough to make up for all the stress that accompanies it.

I think I aged ten years there. I hope something changes, I really do.
