While everything surrounds you tiks and toks, having enough time to
escape to whatever you are stuck in seems impossible.
Escape from your nagging boss, demanding customers,
pilled up papers, or even just away from your annoying colleague.
I believe my occupation is not that toxic, haggard or hectic compared to yours.
Maybe because its only been a year since I have started working.
Only con that I can think is that its a nocturnal job. You guess.
Being an owl is out of the list.
But work is work. Whether your a janitor, employee, sales-agent, CEO,
self-employed, security-officer, corrupt-officer, teacher, bartender,
call center agent, jeepney driver or whatever. Work is work.
For those people like me who depends on those Off and Leaves to have
that time to relax, those 2 Days 0ff is not enough right?
2 Days Off are just for laundry, church, sleeping and social networking or gaming.
Unless you have this at your company :
-80 Vacation Leave
-50 Sick Leave
-30 Emergency Leave
-15 Maternity Leave
-10 My Wife's in Labor Leave
-10 Bereavement Leave
-10 Single-Parent Leave
-10 Non-sense-"Pauso" -Company Leave
Well maybe there is one company that offers that, in A.S.A. K.A. Incorporated. You wish.
Samin may leave naman, makikipag-agawan with 200,00 na employees.
Goodluck sayo. Anak ka ng Diyos kung ma-approved ka.
As for me, despite the limited leaves and offs, I was able to bear up.
How? That's for you to read and for me to tell you.
Here, I will share some of my brief epicure moments, quickie getaways
and some others stuff that you might don't care about.
Life does not have any remotes to push a pause button.
Rubbing a magic lamp for a genie, ha, fantasy.
And doing nothing about it makes you stubborn fool.
So, together, let's discover the city that was kept
from us by Mr. Job and Ms. Time. We will experience
these out of the uniform and beyond the desk.
