Not Fun For Walking

My right heel's been stiff and aching since yesterday, and despite sleeping it off it doesn't seem to be getying better. I had to take a painkiller to be even able to put some weight on it, but even then the best thay I could do is walk with a very obvious limp. It gets …

Pain In The You-Know-Where

For those curious about what I was up to during the past few days, I've been stuck at home on bedrest. Why? Well the lower back pain I've experienced some two years ago came back, and with a vengeance.  I got rushed to the hospital from work, and had to spend most of the day …

February Morning Shuffle

Y'know, I prepared a big thermos' worth of hot water this afternoon, just to be able to bath this morning. It still almost wasn't enough; even after pouring it into the pail of water sitting in the bath room, the most that it could do was make it slightly lukewarm instead of ice-cold. Oh well, …

Half In Half Out

So it was payday yesterday, though I wasn't really feeling my salary. This was because I immediately felt the specter of my holiday-season bloated credit card bill at the back of my mind.  So the moment it hit my savings, I divided the total amount of money I had in two, and allocated a half …

Just In Time, And Not A Moment Later

If the office emails we've received are correct, we're supposed to get our 13th-month pay today. It's a bit of a welcome relief as, after paying off what I owed to my sister, my savings are once more in dire straights, which is never a good thing especially with the upcoming holiday season. Well, that and …

Event Clearance, And Finally Something New

So yeah, I pretty much spent the entire weekend trying to force-finish my way through the Kantai Collection Fall 2016 event. It's certainly been... an experience, for sure. Can't really say much about it right now, so I'll just have to do an image-dump on it. Oh, and our Japanese language class is back on track, …

Not Exactly The Best Of Starts

The first shift we had after 2.0 training wasn't exactly the best. Not only did we not have any access to the new systems we trained for yet, about two hundred agents -- myself included -- lost all access to our remote systems for about two hours. In my case, it was a bit embarrassing too, …

Just That Tiny Bit Done

Today marks the end of the so-called "transfer reduction training", and I'm happy to report that I passed with flying colors. This means that, from tomorrow onward, we're going to dive into the important stuff: the 2.0 proper... The big question is whether or not we retain all that knowledge by the end of the …

Yet Even More Training To Go

The start of the week's been somewhat slow, though that's probably because of the fact that I technically have most of Monday off. However, with the training for 2.0 starting this week, I'm going to have to get my sleep schedule re-adjusted, and quick. That, and the warm weather hadn't really helped with things any. …

Yet Another Preparation For The Next Phase

It was payday yesterday, but I couldn't really feel that happy about it. Well, there was the fact that I felt that I was being taxed really REALLY high, but other thoughts were occupying my mind, and I ended up not actually withdrawing anything that day. And it's just as well, as my savings bank …
