makati city
after the ebb comes the bubonic plague of work. yes you’ve heard it right; i’ve been bugged by the weight of the bandwidth right now. tons of works in different shades and hues. though i have been anticipating this, it’s never occurred to my mind that it would be as bulky and burdensome as this. even if it is against my will, i have to say goodbye to sipping banana daiquiris atop of banana boat.
for the first time, i have to admit that i am now in a "culture shock." not necessarily overwhelmed but more of windang and haggardo verzosa considering i have been in the post for almost two months. changes come one after the other, from the most discerning to the most insensitive, smallest to biggest, most silent to the most blaring ways and forms and fashions. they come not in one but usually in waves, or in series. and they haunt me, dwell into my mind, drilling into my brain just like tiny monsters banging in the wall of my head with placards shouting "do it ASAP, or else…"
this is my first time to write about my work as a qa supervisor since assuming the position on the 22nd of February. but, i won’t delve too much into it as two months are too short to share my routine. i need to gain a lot of experiences and learn tons of lessons first. it's just i’ve had the urge to flesh out some part of it, hoping that this would make things a little clearer since in normal times, i would just snatch away time and attention of my friends who are wont to sucking up my haggardness while sucking up black smoke of cigarette over a cup of coffee.
i know there are more to come. i just need to jot down everything to, to the words of ming ling in the soong sister, a very brilliant and brave film, "cut the bullshit." anyway, i told my manager during my interview for this post that i always choose my battles, and i don’t take them sitting down. in a nutshell, and to make it a sound bite, "battles are my business."
