Hello! I am wondering if I still have readers in my blog. Three months have passed since I wrote my last post. All I know is that I have so many stories to tell right now.
WELL YEAH. I left Bohol in May and transferred here in Cebu. My decision to work here in Cebu started since I got accepted and Convergys offered me a job that was two days after our college graduation. Okay, I am in a call center industry. It is something that can be proud of. Why? Even though the job isn’t totally in line with the course I was studying but then the idea of handling an irate customer everyday is something not everyone can do. Am I correct? I am starting to like my job even though it is keeping me like I am harassed at the end of my shift. Okay, that is exaggerating. I know.
My team mates, without the team leader, Kia, Ryan and DM. We were full this time because we just ate our eat all you can breakfast at Jacobos.
I belong to a team where all of us are starters of Convergys except of our team leader, of course. We were 20 in training but we were narrowed to 19 and made as a team. We got a team leader who is so good and considerate enough but then unfortunately, we are currently break as a team. First our team leader is assigned to a different account and 15 of us are assigned to a new team leader, the remaining four are assigned to another team leader as well. The point is when business needs arise; the making of strong relationship would sometimes not continue to grow. I mean, it would really be nice if we were not break as a team.
Since I hit on the floor, I mean since I started taking chats with a customer, my schedule is always been changing and it always starts in dawn. There was a time when my shift would start in 5am, then right now 4:15am, and next week it will be 3:00am. I always have brunch causing me to only have two major meals every day, a brunch and a dinner. At the end of the shift I would rush of going back to our boarding house and take a two hour sleep, like I said I am always harassed every time I end my shift.
Working away from home is really something new for me. There could be times when I cry silently because I miss my loved ones in Bohol. My family’s situation is giving me the reason to work harder. I am just glad Filipinos are like that, it gives me joy knowing that I am able to help them.
I am living in a boarding house where my roommates are my college mates as well. We were actually five, three of us are in one room and the other two ladies live in a separate room. We are making our ways to live a happy life while working away from home. Sometimes when we just had our pay day we would rush into food tripping thing. We can only afford food tripping once it is our pay day. After that, we will go back into saving our money and look for some carenderia with cheaper foods.
Life is really temporary. Once, I was dependent to my parents. Now, I am living my own and trying to help them. This could also be temporary. Who knows in the following years, I will have my own family and from then on, there will be a lot of responsibility. Temporary. Yeah. Temporary. I hope we are sure where we are going once our days here on earth are over.
Someone asks why did I take a call center job when I can make a good money in building websites, in that case, I could have applied what I have learned in college. I am looking for a smart answer to that question, somehow I just don’t know why. I just know that I am enjoying what I am doing. As for me and my work, it should be happy and it should be for God’s glory.
