Better yet...

08.17.06 (1:21 am)   [edit]

I take back what I've said. Hehehe!

Last month, the company issued a memo that we are also to support Home Networking in addition to the usual technical calls we've been handling. During its first few days of effectivity, we cussed and grumbled about the mere thought of taking in calls knowing that we, too, would not be able to help these poor little souls - lost in their quest for setting up a wireless connection. It's like a blind person leading another blind person.

Good thing the management is considerate enough. Handle-time limits were increased. We usually target 15 minutes for issue resolution but with Home Networking, we can go up to 3 hours with no guarantee that the problem would be resolved. I asked Paopei for help and more info , my wavemate. i consider her as a great techie guru. She even constructed a walkthrough site for us. With that info, we were able to take tech support to the next level. Hehehe!

Go Tech Support!!!

Performance Review

07.19.06 (6:13 am)   [edit]
I'm thinking of quitting my job and begin looking for a new employer. Imagine more than half of what I'm earning right now merely goes into my father's medication. It's a dead-end. I don't see the point in staying here anymore... no opportunity for growth.

Missing Emails

03.14.06 (11:28 pm)   [edit]
Customer called in to check what happened to her email which she left on the webmail last week. All emails on the inbox were gone including the ones she left unread when she checked today. Other emails were still left on their respective folders. She did not use any email client to download emails as it doesnt let her view attachments.

What the...!

03.12.06 (3:58 am)   [edit]

Customer called today to address the ff issue:

1. Sales Representative has assured him that he'll be getting the same email address like that from his previous email account.

Customer later found out that the username has already been taken and would be available after six months. Customer settled for the same user adding a number to it. Went an extra mile for him by composing an email and sent it to his contacts.

2. Customer was promised that he'll get the complete package with everything on it for this price.

Customer found out that it was not the price he was expecting. Worse, cost does not include the whole package.

Behold... the new me!

03.08.06 (9:44 pm)   [edit]

For the past 5 years of my employed life, I didnt care about my health and figure. I was overweight, but still I managed to look good. I just didnt mind the calorie content of the food Im eating. As long as it tastes good, I shoved it in my mouth and ate it with no regrets.

It was not until last December when I noticed something when I looked at the mirror.The reflection i saw was hideous! The figure was not obese (thank God!); I can compare it to man who swallowed an enormous, organically-grown, fertilizer-pumped watermelon. Then I realized that its about time that I have to address this issue once and for all.

The idea of getting in shape quickly emerged from the ashes of futile attempts of dieting and weight reduction. It coursed through my mind, creating ripples like pebbles thrown on a lake. And so it did.

I look forward everyday to reach my goal and I'm determined to accomplish it... and behold... the new me.

Getting Buffed Up

03.08.06 (12:20 am)   [edit]
I'm now working out at this gym and it has been a month since then. So far, I like the development. I lost 4 pounds already. 42 pounds to go... hehehe!

All Boxed Up

05.02.05 (1:38 am)   [edit]
My things are all packed and ready to go. My room's a complete mess... hehehe! Another period of adjustment looms ahead as I prepare myself to move into my new home. They don't call me ymon for nothing. I can easily adapt and adjust to any environment. Do I sound like a freakin' mutant?! :twisted:

Experiment

05.01.05 (6:17 am)   [edit]
I wonder if the smilies will also marquee if i set it to marquee... and it did. It sure made me quite dizzy :roll: all this for the sake of boredom.

Why do I always come in early?

04.25.05 (4:27 am)   [edit]
A lot of people here in the office ask me, "why are you always early?", it's because of the following reasons:

1. I hate the feeling of being rushed. I want to take my time travelling. Since I'm staying in Novaliches, I allow at least 1.5 hours for travel.

2. I'm taking advantage of the incentives.

3. Need to login to at least 6 screens when at work. One screen takes 4 minutes to pull up.

One Day More

04.24.05 (5:09 am)   [edit]
I'm still on split 2 today. Less calls mean less surveys. I have nothing to do here at work so I made myself busy by updating my blog with the usual non-sense blabber. I also focused on basic HTML blah blahs because im planning to take courses on basic web development and Flash animation - something which I can do as a hobby. Or even make a career out of it :P

Pass the Schedule

04.21.05 (11:33 am)   [edit]
Just saw my newly printed schedule... it sucks!!! If only they could make changes as I would prefer to have weekends off. Anyways, I still get to enjoy two days off.

Back from Day Off

04.21.05 (8:14 am)   [edit]
Just got back from my off. Feels kinda weird... i'm usually off on weekends but now i'll be working up until monday next week :roll: if they could only change my days off and make it Saturdays and Sundays or Sundays and Mondays.

Pad Clean Up

04.18.05 (8:53 am)   [edit]
It's my day off tomorrow and I'm headed to my new pad in Makati after office. Need to do "pre-occupancy" cleanup. Have to drop by the grocery to get cleaning items though. I do hope those paint stains would come clean off. I like the original beige-colored vinyl tiles installed on floor but those damn tenants used linoleum and left moisture stains on it :roll: !!! Tsk tsk tsk... tough job i know.

Being Unique

04.18.05 (2:24 am)   [edit]
Today I'm supposed to wear white shirt for the photo shoot. I came in wearing RED. Hehehe! I really forgot and I dont have any intention of being against it. Anyways, the photo shoot is about demonstrating the company's values. Trying to consider what i've done, im sure we'll come up with something unique.

Change of Schedule

04.17.05 (4:47 am)   [edit]
I'm not happy about our new schedule. Off on tuesdays and wednesdays. We're supposed to come in by 3AM up until 12Noon. Boring!

Without You

02.15.05 (10:49 pm)   [edit]

Mmm...hmm...

It feels like a lifetime, a thousand days have passed by
Since I held you close to me
If I could see that smile from my friend
I know that I could live again
I need you here with me

Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right now you’re so far away
I hope and I pray
Somewhere in your heart I’ll always stay

Girl, lately my sun doesn’t shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be without you
Feels like I took my last step and my last breath in my life ending
Had to say just what I was feeling, girl
‘Cause my sun doesn’t shine, sun doesn’t shine without you

This is more for me than for you
Girl, I finally see there’s no substitute
For what we have
Do you know how much I love you

And what we've shared I can't forget
Girl a love like yours
I'll never let just slip away
Just promise that you'll stay

Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right now you’re so far away
Gonna tell you and show you
Do whatever I can do to get back to you

Girl, lately my sun doesn’t shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be without you
Feels like I took my last step and my last breath in my life ending
Had to say just what I was feeling, girl
‘Cause my sun doesn’t shine, sun doesn’t shine without you

Regularization Confirmed

01.11.05 (7:42 am)   [edit]

I just signed my regularization papers today and got a raise. :D Hehehe! All those months of work and sacrifices made finally paid off. I said sacrifices, because it includes not being with my special one most of the time; not being with my friends and hang out with them; miss important dates; going out to report for work when almost all the people I pass by are heading home for a night's rest.


I'd like to thank TL Jenny for believing in my skils and abilities; my friends/ wavemates for keeping my spirits up - we know how hard we worked for this. My trainor, IAN, thank you for showing us the way - to the door?!? Hehehe! You've been a major influence in our wave. Salutations!

Regularization Day

01.10.05 (11:33 pm)   [edit]

All my remaining wavemates signed their regualrization papers. They got 8% increase. I wonder what mine would be? My TL is not yet around.


I have a feeling that I'll be signing those papers today, too.


 


Good luck!

Petiks Day

01.10.05 (3:02 am)   [edit]

Two of my wave mates didnt make it for regularization. But I heard from my friend that they were accepted at another call center. I miss you guys. I wonder where these people are? Miss ko na kayo...
