Mondays are lazy days.
It makes me feel lazy because there is a lot of time until the end of the week that everything seems possible. There's a lot to do and a lot of time - or another way of saying it is that there's a lot of time for revisions, and that's where the laziness kicks in.
Tuesdays are insignificant- unless it is a holiday! My brain seems to not remember what I did on Tuesdays (maybe they are the same things that I do on Mondays). Which brings me to Wednesday.
Wednesdays are my favorite days of the week.
Why? Because they're in the middle! And being the middle child, I seem to like things that are in the middle or ... (oops! I digress). Anyways, Wednesdays for me is the time to reflect what I've done so far, and what I need to do for the next couple of days. Everything comes to pace on Wednesday, a lot of movement and progress (or lack thereof which leads to panic).
Well, the title of this post is Wednesdays and I covered Mondays and Tuesdays as well so it ends here.

The Day of the Rain
It rained at least three (3) times today! But I love the rain, especially today, because it brought good luck to me.
9:00-10:30am Before the first rain:
I was in my part time job. I had this feeling that today would be another disappointing day because my manager would not be happy with the design (which I did not make, but is my responsibility nevertheless)of the website. I was also scrambling to take pictures of the facilities, the rooms, the location to put "real" images on the website. It was cloudy but clear. I got all sweaty from all those photography works, then edited them (using MS Paint, because I'm so skilled in MS Paint).
10:30-11:59 Sullied
After finishing the "editing" I uploaded them to the server. I knew from my previous work that "editing" no matter how simple takes time, and to those who doesn't know, they think that it takes no time at all (disappointing how you try to explain but they just don't or wont get it). I was satisfied with what I accomplished and was waiting for the manager to arrive for further "revisions". 12 noon came and then...
12:00 The RAIN 1st part
Heavy downpour. Since it was already noon, I had to pack up and leave. I made it a habit not to go out of the house these days without an umbrella, so the rain didn't bother me.
Dripping wet, my manager explained to me how she wanted the brochure to look like, about her additional concern regarding the website. These all happened outside, in the middle of the rain. Talk about work dedication, this is the person to beat.
1:00pm Ayala Mall
I wanted to see a movie, but there's nothing new that I haven't seen and that interests me to watch, so I decided to just eat my lunch and go home.
2:30 The RAIN part 2
Just when I was about to get off, another heavy downpour. No problem, umbrella ella is here (yes I named my umbrella).
3:00-5:30 Nap time
The good thing about being "tambay" is that you can sleep in the afternoons, just like when you were a kid. But the difference now is that you're loving it instead of crying your eyes out to your parents or yaya.
6:00 till midnight
I still have to work on the website based on the comments that my manager has told me to fix, at least those that involves content, since they're going to present to the board on Wednesday. So here, full from dinner, is working on it.
About midnight, the RAIN part 3
As my eyes begin to drop, I can hear the rain, whooshing, making noise when it drops on the roof. It is a sound to my ears as I begin to wander in dreamland. Thank you rain for making my day just wet but great.

Should I Be Honest Enough?
It's been around three (3) months now that I have all these free time to do almost anything. Yet I don't do anything except eat, sleep and just laze around.
One more thing, I have this agreement.
Before I entered into this contract with my part time job, I told them that I need time to figure out if I wanted to do it fulltime. Because of that premise I didn't resign from my previous post and continued my services as part time to them.
As I have written, I was laid off from my fulltime job. And that's where the dilemma comes in. You see I didn't tell my part time that I am now free. And to make matters more complicated I applied for other companies and got accepted. Next month I will be starting there as an employee and will be busy (as a neophytes do).
The reason being is that honestly I don't want to be in a fulltime position with them and would like that I continue my services as part time. There are many reasons why, and the primary reason being I don't have that health care benefit and those other benefits that regular employees receives.
I wish I could just tell them what I honestly feel, but things are not that easy.

So It Has Came To This
That I will spend the next year here. June ends today and six(6) days from now marks my one month of being officially jobless (make it 2 months if we'll count the unofficial start).
I am still waiting for a sign that something will change and will make me rethink about my decision. But time is passing by, cash flow is literally non flowing and I'm getting bored and accustomed to the "tambay" lifestyle.
So I will try to finish the test, submit it and wait for evaluation.
Maybe wait for the week (maximum of one more week) to wait for some calls from other companies that I tried to apply to.
After that, depending on the results it's either I'm off to other lands or I will be here in this full-time job as technical staff for a technology incubator facility.
Just like getting back in school, it's time to improve and study for the next chapter ahead.

Axed
I have no work.
Correction, I have no "full-time" work as of the moment. My stint at Playtech was cut short because they will be closing this year and they are "releasing" employees by batch at a time. And yes I was included in the first batch to get the ax.
It was sad, I will not deny it.
For the most part of my "career" I always see to it that I am "safe" on my job since I don't like to be dependent on someone else for my needs. But sometimes (this time-my first time) life/destiny/the universe just conspires against me (or in some dramatic explanation conspires for me...whatever) and I can do nothing about it.
But I can do something.
For me, I paid my insurance for this year with the money I got as severance fee. And a few trips to some places (smiles a great deal).
And yes it motivates me on some degree knowing that I need to find a job soon and quick.
Looking at this event in retrospect made me feel that I've been complacent this past year when it comes to my skill in programming and this is a loud wakeup call to straighten my act.
It's sad to note that I've let myself be left behind.
Well the first way to recovery is to know that there is something wrong, and I know now. I'm on my road to recovery.
FULL SAIL AHEAD.
