I Got a New Job

Finally, we now have Internet. The people at Sun Broadband don't seem to want to go to our place for the tech visit, so we ended up with Wi-Tribe and they had connection up and running in less than a day. May the universe bless them.

So I was able to land a job that provides free transportation from home to work, and provides unlimited beverage in the pantry. So after years of not drinking much carbonated drinks, I am consuming Coke because it seems to be the only thing that keeps me awake between 3 a.m. to 4. It's weird. And I get to be really perked up again by 4. It's seems like I get I am afflicted bya sleeping disorder during the witching hour.

Having been completely antisocial independent for over two years, I find it challenging to work with a team. They seem to be really close, and I am the only new person there. The people I know in the company are people in a different team with bigger responsibilities than I do.



And I feel guilty because, while I remember faces quickly, I have problems placing names on faces unless I really like them or I talk to them a lot (which speaks a lot about how little I interact with people). It's not that I don't like them because I find them amusing (at most), but it's just not me to be talking to people I don't know well, and I am not into the habit of saying insipid things over insipid matters for the sake of having a conversation, just for the sake of being in rapport with colleagues because everybody's expecting that. I am not sure if I made sense.

I feel guilty that I still refer to them by my general impressions. Like I said, I have problems remembering names and I place mental notes and name them as such:

  • pre-operation Jinky Pacquiao lookalike
  • bad-stare, big-boned lady
  • Otep without the long hair (Otep was this talkative guy from my last job who has eerily the same voice as he does)
  • dark-skinned kalbo
  • dark-skinned guy who seems like kalbo but leaner and with hair
  • parang mommy
  • et cetera (and so much more that I think would get me into trouble)
So yun na lang muna.
