Memorial Day At Work

It’s has not been a fruitful day at work. It’s Memorial Day in the U.S. and everyone is not answering the phone. Actually, I believe the company should have sent us home since it would just be a waste of time and the company’s resource for letting us report for work.

I look around and see my Team Leader talking to Joel, a teammate, about basketball, Lebron, and the playoffs. These guys just love the sport and they won’t mind sharing their take or own review on a current game. I can now hear my TL sharing (bragging, actually) how well he played during one of his games. Then you’ll see him with his reenactment of his moves.

Then there’s Carla who’s busy cutting out some shapes for decorating their stations or desks. The company is currently have this program or contest and would give prices to those stations that are well decorated. Of course it won’t be just any decorations it has to follow a certain theme. And the theme is all about Flores de Mayo. Honestly, I don’t know what to think about these flowers and leaves made out of paper they made me put on my station. My station now looks like one of those ‘arko’ during Santa Cruzan.

But Gel seemed not in the mood right now. Then I would find out that the guy who has been bothering her emotionally just text-ed her. Though she’s a few stations apart from me, I still learned about it since she’s sending me messages thru our chat system. I’ve heard the same story, same excuses, and same concerns over and over again. But I understand that the girl has been through a lot with this guy, and with the others, and I believe she’s emotionally disturbed in this aspect. And somehow, I feel glad she trusts me with those stuffs and thinks I could give her some sound advice. But sometimes, I don’t think she wants to follow my advice but just wants someone to share the problem with, someone who would listen.

Then, there are you have the other people on the floor, doing their own stuff other than work. Some are just busy fixing how their make-ups are. One is arranging the Gundam figures on his desk (you’ll find his toys occupying every corner of his desk). And still there are those just taking it easy and sleep it off. I’m sure they’ll be in trouble with their Wrap Time and Handling Time numbers later on.

The environment is just so damn boring and dragging today. I still believe they should have not asked us to work today.

(As for me, I was just checking out new things online and, of course, blogging the whole time. He he he)
