Current mood: Nagmamadali dahil nakakahiya na sa Bergerkeng.
It’s my off today pero imbes na maglakwatsa o kaya eh rumaket, andito ako ngayon sa Burger King, SM Fairview. Bakit kamo? Nakikigamit lang naman ako ng wifi nila. Bakit ulit? Meron lang namang internet connection outage sa lugar namin at mag dadalawang linggo na yun. Putang ina di ba? Putang ina talaga! Sumakto pa yung lintek na outage na yun sa pagbili ko ng bagong laptop mula sa aking puri.. este dugo’t pawis pala. Bakit ulit kailangan ko pang pumunta ng Burger King para lang makigamit ng wifi? Kasi araw araw, hapon hapon, at gabi gabi na lang akong nakakareceive ng messages na “Uy, wala na yung ginawa mong widgets sa Friendster.”, “Pakiupdate naman po yung codes please.”, “Bakit po hindi gumagana yung layouts?”. . . etc etc. Kaya naisipan ko na lang dumayo dito sa BK para mag update ng codes ko . Wahaha!
One hundred forty five pesos meal = free internet connection.

9:36 in the evening. Convergys Philippines. Judgment night.
Kakabalik lang from 15-minute break at kakatapos lang namin magyosi ng mga wavemates ko, kasama na din team leader naming boring. And while they are discussing something about the results of our Berlitz exam (a phone interview with a US based linguist American) , I’m browsing websites and streaming audio files. Hehe. Muntik ko ng makalimutan na may blog pa pala ako. I’ve been extremely busy the past few weeks because of my new work. At dahil medyo tinatamad na naman ako, bulleted article na lang ulet…
- Back to Berlitz exam. Tang ina, mandatory ang exam na yun for Technical Support agents. I originally applied as a Customer Service Representative but my final interviewer asked me to take a technical exam. Upon job offer, she asked me if I’m interested for a technical position because I’m qualified daw. In mind that Techagents have higher compensation, I accepted the offer, haha. Hindi naman nabanggit sakin yang Berlitz2x na yan. During first week of training ko lang nalaman kaya hindi na ko makapagback out, bahala na lang.
- Berlitz exam day came. I took it at around 11pm, Pinas time. It was 11am there in Los Angeles. I talked to a woman named Michelle. She’s very nice but soft spoken. Ilang beses akong nagsabi ng “I’m sorry?” kasi hindi ko sya marinig, amp. Hindi formal yung interview, more on about me. We were even laughing almost the entire call. She said she’s just assessing my English communication skills. After more or less 15 minutes, the interview was done.
