Babbling About Work on a Friday Morning

I have been given this Certificate of Recognition (daw) at work. It is some form of “thank you” from American Express because of some thingy they had agents do last Christmas peak. Our work load became heavier and what do we get? This piece of paper signed by two people (client) who “sincerely appreciated” what we did. Hahaha. I dun think its AMEX concern though. It’d with eTel. AMEX closes down one division in the states and loads all the work her in Manila (and I think the company gets something out of this) and passes the entire task to agents (whose hopes for promotion will get slimmer due to new standards and stats to meet – like me).

I am just mad because I am soon to be trained for yet another two splits. This will make my targets way impossible to reach and thus goodbye to promotion. Believe it or not, I am still at level 1 but I have been with the company for 18 months. What am I STILL doing here anyway?

On a lighter note, I decided to post some pics from our team GA last December 2005. These are my officemates and close friends as well.

Rheya, Aphol, Mois and Joppee.

EP stands for expresspay. It is a little keyfob (or a keychain) that can be linked to an American Express, Visa or MasterCard credit cards. I have one myself. But it’s just for display. It doesn’t work. I don’t event own any credit card much more afford to own an AMEX card. Duh?! It’s attached to my ID tag. Hahaha… Only the best (?) agents are trained for this product (and this is according to our trainee when I asked why I was included). Like I believe it! Duh!?

Anyway, we had dinner first at Super Bowl Eastwood afterwhich we went singing in this videoke bar in Acropolis (forgot the name.) And guess what? We spent almost 10,000 bucks for the night. Beers were overflowing and tequilas were everywhere. I got so drunk the cab driver woke me up when we got to Mindanao Avenue. I don’t even remember how I get inside the cab. Wheew! I will make sure that will not happen again. That is the worse part of my drinking career as of yet.

That same night, another team which I belong to as well had also a GA—videoke at the same resto, only separate rooms. The EP GA was two doors away from the Team Earl GA. I stayed here for the most of my sober times but when my TL from EP handed me a shot of tequila, I decided I was missing a lot. And indeed I was. The other room was a lot “funner (as Reese Witherspoon said it in Legally Blonde).” Everybody was dancing like crazy., a couple kissing each other and Neri singing her out with Aegis. Hahaha…

Those were the happy days…

If it weren’t for the people and friends in this company, I would have left as soon as I got regularized. But now, I am seriously giving it a thought…

Nu ni nu ni nu ni….
