Updates

I have grown bored of watching movies during night shift. The thought of bringing a book to work always slipped from my mind. I'm not complaining,working night shift is kinda cool because the working days are shorter. Four days in the first week and three days in the second week,so out of  10 working days you only work for 7 days. The actual problem starts after your night shift ends, the way you adapt  to the normal shifts and going back to the usual hectic and chaos of the day shifts. It's quite crucial to say the least.

Surprisingly my work life is getting better these days. I'm one of the top three agents in my department for this quarter.Maybe I'm speaking too soon but it makes me really happy as all my hard work getting paid well. And customers are sending compliment letters to my manager. I'm glad that I didn't disappoint him as I respect my manager very much. RJ promised me that for each compliment letter,I will get a piece of cake as a treat from him. He joked that he might need to buy a whole cake for me very soon. 

At least one part of my life is going good even though I cried on my office desk yesterday night.I hope nobody heard me as it will be quite embarrassing for me if anyone notice that.  It's getting harder to keep fighting for something. Sometimes I get too tired and I just want to lie on bed and give up on the world. But every time I almost drown,someone always come and pick me up,whisper encouraging words and remind  me that every problem have a solution. It's up to us to find our own way.

I find my whole life is a joke but when I look at those  having a shittier life than mine,I think I have a lot of things to be grateful for. Maybe the universe should stop competing with me over something that I wanted the most.

By the way, RJ came out with a premonition/theory that someday the world will come to an end and this catastrophe might be caused by water because over 70 % of the Earth's surface is covered by water. 

I guess its time to learn swimming...

Night shift

Its 2.43 am and I'm in the office. Technical support job has it perks. This is the first time I'm doing night shift and it's kinda cool. I have watched a number of movies since yesterday.Most likely I'm the only girl in this entire building now. There isn't much call at nights. Several hours ago, an old lady called and ask my help to set up some software for her new computer. She told me it was 1 am in her country. We had some friendly chat while I'm getting my job done by remote accessing to her machine.I solved all her queries to which she wrote some compliment feedback on the website. The lady mentioned that she couldn't sleep so she just wanted to set up her new computer so that she can start transferring her files from her old one. Although sometimes I hate my job but this kind of calls  really motivates me to help out people. Some callers are really sweet especially when they write appraisal emails  about you to your manager.  

On another note my sister is pregnant and she's not that happy, given the fact that her oldest kid is 17 years old. I don't understand what the big deal anyway but she said she's not quite comfortable to be pregnant when she has teenagers at home.So I told her if she doesn't want the baby, I could take care of it.She's alright about giving the baby to me after it's born but anyhow she has to bear the childbirth again. She's a bit traumatic when it comes to the whole child bearing process as she thought she's done with it when her youngest kid was born. Seems like there's a lot of things to look forward to. RJ said its not joke nor easy to take care of kids. There's a lot of responsibilities when it comes to raise a child. 

And I think I agree with him.
