Work Rant

I havent done anything stressful lately but it seems that I am unhappy with my work. Although i do have some task at hand this day, i seem to have choosen to slack off.

I do hope that Victor call me up soon. If by the time we negotiate and it all went well, I guess I would be back to my old objective; to make significant success on the local industry. Maybe I’m not the person who wants to climb up the corporate ladder. Maybe I see myself greater than that. Maybe I want to have a small company and make it bigger. Or maybe I’m feeling really lazy.

I know, I still have a lot to work on for me to feel confident with competing with others. Skillset wise, the fresh grads can even beat me. But I should keep in mind that it is not just them I am against. I need to learn more. I need that hunger again.

The end days of the Robusts

Today I feel that the end is near for us. 3 of us call it freedom but the other two consider it a new problem. What we have foreseen with the last two months has now arrived. It would be a new beginning for the 5 of us, the remaining employees. The company is closing.

I’m at the office for almost 19 hours. I’m getting anxious. They notified me that there will be a meeting today. It’s lunch time and they just told us that there will be a dinner held tonight. The last dinner with our employers. The last time that soju will drown me to death. I remember those days where there are 20 Filipinos attending the dinner. Now, it is just the 5 of us.

But as I wait impatiently, they reminisce. Those onshore trips that we had in Seoul and Japan. Those days of the Sendai Earthquake where we got stranded, scared and desperate. But even though it was one of the toughest times of our careers, it was also the happiest. We didn’t have just the money during those days but also where we had so much fun.

But now we wait for the end. And though I have just been informed that it may still go operational for the next few months, I wonder when this will last. If I we won’t be free any time sooner, I leave.
