Fear

I just had this idea to write something personal and alarming about me but then decided against it.

The original plan is to go to this internet cafe and charge my Zune while updating my friends through my blog. After an hour of typing and checking out emails, I suddenly felt hungry and decided to go home. When I unplugged my Zune, VOILA! Low battery. What the?! So, I've been charging it in one of the front USB ports which carries less current. I know that, but at work, it usually works. I never considered that computers in internet cafes are not well maintained and simply are prehistoric. So, I tried to reach for one of the back USB ports but then the gentleman who takes care of these geriatric machines told me not to do it because if I move the internet cable at the back, the whole shitty cafe might lose connection to the WWW. How untrue and idiotic. So my prediction is that as I am on my way to Clark, alone on the bus, I'd be forced to just look at the green fields without my lips mouthing the lyrics of the songs in my Zune. Worse! I'll probably catch the encore of Snakeman or Komodo if they have it on board.

So it must be meant to be. Me staying put to charge the device further and me writing more about what I'm thinking. My fear? I think I'm losing my wit and humor. I've forced myself to mature for the job and kept in what I thought about a lot of things to veer away from trouble. But it lead me to a promotion right? Currently, I am working on being NOT boring for the classes that I'll be teaching in the future. Waaah. I need to be around friends more. Not Americans which require me to be professional and force me to talk about operating systems and troubleshooting steps.

Oh, and I think the two Davids (Cook and Archuleta) might actually win American Idol 7.

Climbing Up the Ladder

Ok... I reported before in this blog that I was once hailed as the number one representative at work stat-wise. Since I became a Tech Lead, those stats dwindled to 70% the golden age stats so the chance of being promoted also became less. Last Monday, I had my first attempt at handling a class of trainers who are pretending to be rowdy trainees because I applied for the trainer position. It was scary and at the same time unreal. Prior to the whole application as Trainer, the two account managers talked to me about my future with the company. They thought that if I wanted to climb up the ladder easily, I should stay with operations where the rocks are more friendly and the slope is a bit less steep. Despite the long biased pep talk about staying with operations, as leaders, they had to tell me in the end that it was all my decision. After hinting that I could be more useful on the floor. According to my supervisor, never had there been an agent who was so in demand. Flattering eh? Two days ago, one of the QAs, asked me if I really wanted to be a trainer because a QA post will soon be opening. Hell no! I don't want it to add to my darn confusion. So, I chose the trainer position and as of yesterday, I am an official product trainer of the company. Whoo-hoo! With salary increase... Hahaha!
