Taking it a day at a time...

Remember my blog about the number of days that i was unemployed?

Well, I finally got tired of procrastination (wow, considering the couch potato that i am...).

Actually, it was because i was running out of money and i didn't want to ask my parents for some. So, since nothing good was happening with my job hunting online, i decided to just take every opportunity that came my way.

Monday, after mailing another application to another Manufacturing Plant, i decided to do some window shopping. When i was at the Mall, i saw a lot of people gathered at what looked like a job fair and so naturally, i went and checked it out. Turns out, it was a job fair hosted by Synnex-Concentrix (a call center). I told myself months ago that i didn't want to become an agent anymore (did i tell you i was an eRep before?), that if i had a choice, i'd rather work as something else than be a call center agent again. Why? Because i found it too stressful.

So, going back to my story...

There i was, standing near the recruitment officer, unsure of what i wanted to do with the opportunity that was presented to me. A part of me wanted to just turn around and go home but the other part (which had the louder voice) keeps telling me to not let this one pass (regardless of the apprehensions i have). I finally decided to just go ahead and submit a resume (i always keep a spare in my bag in case i see a job opportunity).

I was told to come back the next day for an interview, exam, etc. To make the long story short, i was hired. I actually had a headache after learning i was accepted for the job. I was really not excited, no feeling of exhilaration at all because i knew, or at least had some idea, of what is waiting for me if i took the job. I think the main reason i applied was because i wanted to test if i'm still capable of being hired for a call center assignment (read: i just wanted to practice my communication skills). My practical side won though. I took the job because i didn't have anything going on anyway, and i needed the money.

I'm now in my last week of training. I'm not bragging or anything, but i actually don't have difficulty absorbing the information being taught us despite the fact that i basically have ZERO knowledge when it comes to technical stuff and computer networking. It's like everything that
i hear in training, i am able to absorb/understand. That's a first time for me. I'm really amazed at how my training has been going (of course, this would not be possible without my HEAVENLY FATHER helping me all the way).

I'm still not sure if i really, really want this job. I find myself enjoying the training though, and being with the new friends i met there (my batchmates and roommates).

I've decided to just take this a day at a time and give it my best everytime.

Hot and Cold

It's been a while since i last posted an entry to this blog and now that i'm posting one, all i write about is how sick i'm feeling, boo-hoo =(

I had backaches, headaches, a runny nose and a cough. I think i even had chills the other night...

All these was making me think about A(H1N1) and if i got it or not. I googled the symptoms of A(H1N1) to check if i am experiencing all of those.

Here are the symptoms:

fever

cough

sore throat

runny or stuffy nose

body aches

headache

chills

fatigue

in some cases, one may also experience diarrhea and vomiting.

I had 5 symptoms out of 10. Now, i only have a runny nose and a cough so that is definitely an improvement, right? (well, i think it is!)

I probably just got stressed because of sudden things happening in my life (sudden decisions for a job, sudden relocation etc...). I think all i need is a little getting used to, and of course, lots of fluids and rest.
