I have not really tried posting from the WordPress app but so far so good. Hahahaha.
Guess where I am.
I love my job. :)
Work
Should you work from home?
I’ve always envied the people who had the option of working from home. Mostly, this is the creative lot, and to be honest, I miss being part of that lot. For almost two years now, I’ve been waking up early and blow drying my hair, putting on make up, smiling like this is the shit and all that, and sometimes, there are days when putting a bra on is just not worth it. But then I would have to, because it would be obscene especially in a starch white shirt and pencil skirt.
I laughed my ass off when I saw this flowchart because it makes perfect sense. Usually, the flowcharts I post are made of nonsense, but this one is actually a good guide in deciding whether or not your employees (or you) should work from home.
And yes, I am keeping it for reference so that when I have my empire of writing and photographing geniuses, I would know where their home addresses are and it would be easy to hunt them down. Hahahahaha.
Not bad at all right? :)
Manic Monday
Nothing new there. To the working class, Mondays are manic. Not to mention if you’re a girl and you have to commute because your car is coding and you have to lug around your big ass laptop that you had to bring home last Friday because you had so many things to do so you decide to work on them during the weekend only to find out the weekend is not enough.
YES. I CAN SO RELATE.
Really and honestly. Leave room for miracles! Some women just can’t bend it as often.
Okay. Back to work.
(Yes, that is an indication that I arrived in the office way before 7 in the morning and I’ve submerged myself in work since then. Oh Monday, why do you screw me so?)
Youth is wasted on the young
Sometimes, I feel sorry that we’re the Facebook generation. Or that the younger ones prefer Twilight over Dickens. Or that we spend too much time online and too little time among people. That we have resorted to emails and forgot the romanticism of snail mails. That we don’t care about librarians losing jobs, or museums having lesser and lesser visitors each year.
It’s been a really hard week here in the office. I didn’t expect anything like this to happen before I even hit my first year here. I seem to have floated with a heavy heart the entire time. And the current events, as they unfold, slowly show me how important it is to be firm with your principles and values. And that the heart can be weak, but do everything to not weaken the mind, to not break the spirit. I didn’t expect anything to affect me this much. Really. But…. it really is affecting me far more than I ever imagined.
I hope next week is better.
Some inspiration
It has been raining and storming the past couple of weeks. Although it does create the perfect temperature to self-impose a holiday (because it is such a shame to waste a perfectly good bed weather), we still begrudgingly drag our feet to work while we curse the day we ever left school, since apparently, that’s the only institution allowed to declare typhoon holidays at the very last minute.
So in my head, we need a little inspiration to get us to Point B.
So suit up, load your guns, and brace yourself, dear working class. It is time to yet again kick this week’s ass.
