Okay, got it.
So yeah. The kid is into a lot of trouble like in a deep foxhole. He's talking weird stuff and really was out of it. This is definitely something to cause some serious concern.. especially for me. Why? Well, I did have a brother who got hooked into drugs, got crazy and all and now he's lost a few turns on that part in between his ears. I have to park that story for some other post cos it's kinda long and I still have a long way to go to finish this bangin' yearender, eh?
So, after just a few pop of those meds the doc gave him, he declined to take s'more. It's got some awful side effects on him. I can only imagine his sufferings.
But.. too make this long story short, days and months passed by and the boy recovered. Not only was he able to recover physically and mentally, but best of all, spiritually. He just went 180 degrees!
He does all things differently now. Miracles do happen.
I thank the good Lord above for all that he's done for him.
So now, the other highlight of this year was my untimely departure from my day job. Yep. I've written a few stories of that in here and in fact is the single biggest reason why I started this blog.
I was working for the company from October 1999 to August this year. 16 long years. Prior to that, I was working for another company with the same owner for almost two years.
Basically, I was doing too well and resting comfortably in my laurels... that was until some guys and gals from the higher ups took it upon themselves to jolt me in my comfy seat and did an ops on me the nasty, nasty way.
It's like a power grab. They wanted to change the way things are run by me but they had to do it in a backstabbing way. So, like a rat caught in a tight and slippery rope, I bailed out, pronto!
Well, it didn't end well for me and the company. But like any other company, they will continue to thrive and prosper even in my untimely departure. Four months later and I'm still on recovery mode. I still have some hate and misgivings. I had my moments of depression to battle with. So, basically, I'm not out of the woods yet. But... I have to move on. Life goes on and it will continue to go on because more than anything else, there's a higher purpose for all of these. I can't afFord to just sit around and wait for dole-outs.
Later on, I went out and applied for some call center job. I got into three companies in just four months... imagine that!
The first one, I didn't last a week. Graveyard shift sucks. It was setting appointments for some solar company. Selling to be precise. Second one, I applied for a chat support position but got into a customer service representative. Again, graveyard and worst, the training was just going soooo fast! I was having a hard time absorbing the lessons to be learned especially on how to navigate the system. Lasted for a week. Not bad, eh?
Third and lastly, it's for an Australian account. It looks like I've found THE ONE. Training was great. The trainer was very good and the vibes was great. Best of all, it's dayshift!
Finally, I was devirginized!!! To getting calls, that is.
However, I could not imagine myself doing that job for 8 long hours! No, No, No!
Sitting there and taking calls made me feel like a sitting duck. There's a lot of things I can do and I'm there getting pounded one call after another. The calls kept coming in. They call it - queuing.
In hindsight, I kinda regret quitting that job. I should have soldered on and take all the poundings, at least for a few months. It would have been great for my character.. to make me better and stronger as a person. That one was a good month and a half of work.
2016 was really an eventful year. I can't feel bad about it. What doesn't kill you only makes you better, right?
So, next year, I aim to better myself, my family and my relationship with the good Lord above. Of course, to my friends and associates as well.
Whew! It's done, homies!
