Penny for your thoughts

Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.

What to do when you’re bored at work

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Blog! I thought of some other things too. My first option was of course to skip work. But considering my suspension and with June being just around the corner, ( which also means half of our sick leaves will be converted to cash ) I decided to ditch that thought. Besides, its always hard to enjoy when you constantly have to be alert or when you try hard not to bump into anyone from work, yes that happened to me once. Going back, I have no choice but to go to the office and hope that today would be as ‘petiks‘ as yesterday (because it was Memorial Day in the states therefore not much calls.) Is that too much to ask? I guess so. I’ve always thought that if we have a holiday at work, there’s always something in store for us the next day. Sure we enjoy all the food distributed and we enjoy lounging around in the pantry, while the rest of the Americans go to parades and stuff, but that almost always translates to having a very stressful work day after. Much like today, my shift started at 7pm and after 3 hours we already have reports of 2, not 1, but 2 outages! Both regions across America are experiencing downtimes, hooray! So much for a holiday. Right now I’m using my break in order to post an entry because I don’t want this blog to feel neglected. LOL. And Im hurrying up so I could ditch this shithole because I noticed that the calls are piling up and becoming more and more stressful. Im kidding, if any of my supervisors are reading this, I was able to finish everything I’m supposed to do and i’m willing to render overtime if you’d like?

Anyway, I post pictures of my weekend, uhm, two weeks ago? What a late I know. We went to Manaoag, Pangasinan and heard mass there. Seriously, cus we’re devoted like that. In case you didn’t know, that’s 6hours away from my hometown. Penny + weekend = (BOOZE) CHURCH???!! Yeah, yeah, shut up!

 

People sell a lot of religous items there like rosaries, prayer booklets and other holy figures. Those who buy have it blessed after the mass.

 

At the back of the church there’s an area where you can light a candle and pray for something to happen, like, i dunno, world peace? That’s water underneath, filled with melted candles.

Every time we go to church here, we always eat at this place not far from the church. I keep forgetting the name, but they serve bad ass sea weed salad! And Adobong Pusit, a famous dish here in the Philippines. Most people don’t like it. I love it!

About

Hi Im Penny. Im a Solutions Architect slash Subject Matter Expert in some big company working for another big company that deals with transmission of digital data through loops and loops of the local telephone networks in the US. Welcome to my, little as it may be, space on the interwebs where I attempt to paint a picture of what goes on in my brain using words. A rather futile effort in making boredom seem interesting. Prepare to be amazed! Well, NO, not really.
