controversy sa AY-CORE

Everyday at work before logging on to our systems, we would always have these 10 minute huddles with our AVP, Deeana. Each day that we have these 'meetings', she would also say the same darn thing but this time, it was different.

Today, Deeana shared something to all of us. She received a text from an anonymous sender threatening her and the company because of money issues. The anonymous texter stated that we are not getting paid justly and that there was already a law mandated that there will be a salary increase (with call center companies I guess). This topic has become a very big controversial issue with the site. LEO (whom I can't remember what position he is in the company) was the one who read the text to everyone. The exact words of the text message did not stick to my memory but if my memory serves me right, I think I remembered some key words from it. The text goes something like..

There is a law that there is a salary increase..
If you do not comply with this, we will report to DOLE (?)...
I'm going to start a signature campaign..
Please pay us justly..

I think ganyan yung message nung text.

So Leo starts talking about this issue with us agents on the floor stating that this increase is just for the people with minimum waged salaries. That we are above and beyond the minimum wage so we don't even have the right to lash out in rebellion about this. As much as I love sarcasm, I didn't appreciate his.

Okay. So setting this particular concern aside, there was already news before around February that all call center agents would have P3,000 increase with their salaries and this labor code was signed by the President. Other rival companies already have this increase but what about us? I know we nor I have proof of this but when I do get some information, I would be glad to strut my skinny ass self into Deeana's office and hand that information to her. But until that day comes, I just have to sit back and wait. Actually, I really don't care anymore. I'm leaving the freakin company anyways. It's just that it is so unfair if this is true and we don't get any benefit from it that's all. Oh well, bahala nalang ulit si Batman.

I would really like to know who texted Deeana. Nacucurious talaga ako dahil ang lakas ng loob nyang mag text-threat. I would also want to thank him for pissing Leo. Natutuwa lang ako yun lang.

APO nanaman bukas!! Ü

Eraserheads together again?

OK. Shet. I can't believe this news. Eraserheads is going to have a reunion concert end of August. WTF. This is historical. I can't even fathom the idea of one of the greatest bands who split up light years ago to come up with this radical thought of performing together again. I'm basically speechless and wordless of the moment.

Read the article right HERE.

Well there you go. I think a lot people would love to want to go their concert. I know I would. The only question now is HOW?!? Oh well, bahala na si Batman. ^_^

weekend over

Haay.. another weekend over. Ambilis. It's like I never had a day off.

1. Slept all Sunday
2. Watched Prozac Nation, Connie and Carla and Dorian Blues all in one sitting
3. Went back to school to check up on my Singapore practicum
4. Had my first roll of Fisheye photos developed
5. Bought a couple of necklaces worth ten bucks each
6. Ate all you can at Northern Brew
7. Hung out with Arence from 2pm-3am
   
8. Had strawberry ice cream while surfing the internet and watching the National Geographic

Denzyo's

Second day of work palang but I feel like it's the last day already. How I wish.

I just got home from work. After the shift, we went over to Denzyo's, this inuman place located in Diamond, a subdivision in Balibago known for having the most alcoholic establishments in town and for uncontrollable trouble. Gema, Vhince, Dawg, Ryan and I went there to chill out and relax since the weather was nice and basically and mainly I was after the ISAW.

The weather has been very helpful, not just for me, but for a lot of people especially with call center agents. It's easier to rest now and sleeping is a piece of cake unlike before. I have my disadvantages with the weather too, like it gets really cold sometimes that my back hurts and that my jeans always get wet because they are too long. I don't mind bringing an umbrella to work, I actually like bringing the longer normal ones than the small ones as they tend to get blown sometimes by the strong winds.

It's already 9am and I've been awake for more than 12 hours already. 3 more shifts to go and I can't wait for the week to be over with. Ciao for now!

another week has ended

Time flies when you're having fun.

So, I was able to tell Arence about my "theory" of hyperthyroidism. He told me that it can be possible but he thinks that I don't have it. Well good if I don't because I would not want to be drinking medication for this disease.

In other news, as usual, I slept the whole Sunday. It has become my weekly routine to sleep all day after my last shift. I don't have the time to go to mass na sometimes because of exhaustion. I hate the fact that I spend my Sunday sleeping. My day offs seem like a day instead of two. But nevertheless, I get to compensate my Sundays on Mondays.

I was supposed to go to my dentist yesterday, but due to the fact that I had no money to pay her yet, I skipped my appointment and decided that I'll just go today. I mean what can one day do right? And besides, I wasn't in the mood to sit in the dental chair yet. The last appointment, my dentist accidentally burned my inner lip with a heated tool and I had my mouth wide open for half an hour. It wasn't nice to tell you frankly. The burn should cost me at least P300 deducted from my total bill for a consolation.

After lunch, I met up with Arence and we had frozen yogurt at this new franchise outside their subdivision. We had the idea of having a body massage and of playing Bingo but because we were low on funds we figured that we could just do it another time and hangout for the rest of the day which we did. We hung-out in his room and watched Simpsons, then helped him later in the afternoon to pay some bills. Tried this new ramen noodle place near Bale Herencia and then had another frozen dessert afterwards. Mmmm FIC. And after resting at their place for a couple of hours, we went to my place and hung-out some more. We watched the SBC packers and Maritess VS. the Superfriends on Youtube with my siblings and ate some more noodles.

It's funny that time flies fast sometimes. Just when you are having fun, time runs out. A day isn't enough for me. 24hours isn't enough. If only a day had 48 hours, but that would be asking too much and down right ridiculous.

I'm off to another week of taking calls and I'm already wishing that it was the weekend. I'm officially a regular agent at IQOR meaning I have the benefit of having vacation leaves already. One day I will take advantage of those paid-free days of work, but for the meantime, I will just continue taking calls.

Payday today and I'm excited. No more moolah-less days ^_^
