My birthday has passed. I’m now 29 years old. Still single, still unmarried and pretty much still the same immature grown-up baby boomer for this generation. I may be babbling uncontrollably here but yeah, its my blog after all. People could care less what I say or think.
I was actually absent from the office today so I can secure an “illegal” medical certificate. Why illegal you say? Well a few days ago I didn’t go to work because of the damn weather which affected my allergic rhinitis and sinusitus. You see my family has a history of weak lungs. One of my Uncles whom I’ve never met died because his lungs failed. Anyway, I didn’t go to work because I basically felt like crap and I didn’t visit any doctors and just rested. But as usual Mr. Binks wanted me to get a Medical Certificate but I told him that doctors would only write these up if you actually had a checkup with them.
“I just want to get this dealt with.” – Then that means you are an incompetent HR Officer.
“It’s because HK is pushing me to do it.” – Again, your stupid alibis have no meaning to me.
“Did you know that you were under observation.” – Well duh, I do, are trying to use cheap tricks to scare me? I could care less if they threw me in a pit of lions.
“I need you to do this asap.” – Even if it was my birthday the next day? My how insensitive of you.
Sadly, no doctor even the family doctor would not honor this medical certificate for me making my 1 day of absence useless. This would be an appropriate time to say, “I told you so.”
Also, I was called by Orphen again today. It appears the Operations Manager wants to talk to me within probably the week and has offered me the position of an IT Supervisor. They keep changing the offers. First it was a Team Lead, next it was an HR Officer, then it was a Trainer. I guess they can’t decide which skill set I should use as stated on my resume.
So what else did I do today? I just stayed at home playing some demos on the PS3. Mirror’s Edge, I’d definitely want that. Pakour, stealth and action a good combination. Alone in the Dark looks promising and I’d say even better than, maybe Silent Hill? I think Atari has done a great job on this game. Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun with the WWE Smackdown vs RAW cs ECW game. Felt so good using Triple H and laying down the Pedigree on your foes. The other day, I almost bought the overpriced Little Big Planet from Datablitz but I was forced to not buy it since I’m trying to save up money for other more important expenses. This is first time that made me think twice before getting a game. I know some of you will say why not get the “pirated” version instead. I am against piracy. I believe if you love the game, support the developers who made the game by buying a genuine copy so that they could continue to create more good games.
Sigh. I’d never thought that it would be difficult to let go. When my Mom died, it took me more than a year to accept the fact that she was gone. I always sought her comfort and her words of wisdom. I’ve seen a drastic change in my Dad ever since. Ever since Mom’s death, he has become more gentle, more forgiving and more patient. As for me and my recent “drama”, people are saying at church that I’ve become more quiet and a bit distant at times. My brother has also noticed the changes in me. Though I suspect he already knows what happened, he’s doing the right thing not talking about it. They say time heals, but the past can catch up to you to make you remember these bitter-sweet memories making it fresh as if it was just yesterday.
Anyway, I’m going to have a talk with the boss tomorrow. I should have done this back when Dell accepted me but you live and regret. Hopefully, I will formally hand over my resignation letter by Friday and before November ends, I will say goodbye to Outblaze, the the fond memories that I’ve experienced there and goodbye to the one most dear to my heart.
This time, I won’t back down and I won’t falter. I will stand my ground. Happy Birthday kid. You are as dumb as any person can get but nevertheless you are still capable of great things if only you did your best. Here’s to another year of experiences. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and guess what you have? The facts of life.
