I. Got. Busted.
There is just no other word for it. I was just aiming for a quick in and out at the office to retreive my blankets, etc. because I'll be sleeping over at the Company Lounge. In my haste, it completely slipped my mind that I had my bag with me and in it is my cellphone. Sheesh, talk about stupidity. I have always abided their strict policies and all that jazz about phones and shit to the letter (although of course I'm stretching the truth quite a bit on that, too...), but this one time that I really had no intention of breaking it, I got caught. Talk about starting a brand new day badly. >_<
I was already out of the Operations Floor and was on my Locker door when the guard asked to checked my bag. "For inspection lang, ma'am," is what he said. Well, contrary to popular belief, I had no contraband in my person usually. But then again I just noticed my bag and with that realization came the epiphany: I have my bag with me and I have my phone inside my bag. Damn. Of course the guard saw it and then I had to sign up an Incident report or something like that to "reclaim" my phone. It made me look the fool, too for I had to stay there for little over an hour just to straighten things out.
Moral Lesson: Murphy's Law dictates that "To err is human, to forgive is not company policy." Ergo, if you're eventually gonna get caught, then give them a reason to do so and enjoy it. Capisce? Didn't think so.
I've been out of touch with my programming side for the past 4 years now (ye flippin' peers!) and I have come to realise that I am sorely outdated and need to be brought up to scratch. Fast. Having decided such, I've signed up for the Philippine C++ Users Group in google for starters. Unfortunately, our company decided to "Surf Control" our ML so I've been out of touch. (dead end) -_-;; next, I tried to buy books. It's either they're out of stock, or they're horribly outdated. so if anybody could actually shed some light to this poor programmer, please leave a message.
Wahehe now that that's out of the way, I've a new announcement to make! I'm moving to Makati with some friends!!! *does the victory dance* we've found this nifty, NIFTY house that fairly screams "Take me!" to us that we had to get it. Now I just have to tell my other roommate about me change of plans, and...
Life is good. =)
another problem i have is my darned sister. she is in a relationship with a married man. oh, the guy's wife is so crazy i'm sure she'll pass the test to enter asylum with flying colors. but then again, did that make what they're doing right? of course they also deserrve happiness. but not at the expense of others. i do not approve of it. and i know that in my mind, i have lost what respect i have of her. that sad part is, i don't think i can get it back. i wanted to talk to the guy. but, how do i do that without making it seem like i am interfering and that i just did not want them to be together? sure, i DO have the right to interfere. thing is, my sister is the type of person who needs coercion and not the iron hand to make her see reason. hmm, decisions, decisions. damn. i am in a tight fix. i hate it. it frustrates the heck out of me. i know what i want to do, but i don't know how i can do it. no, wait. i don't know if i can do it.
shit at this rate i'd rather drown myself in beer or something equally strong. i want to get away from this. fuck, i don't WANT this fucking responsibility. but i know i must take it. well dang! i think i just found the root of all my troubles. fucking incredible. just beautiful.
well, one good thing about it is that he's now, er, what's the term? oh yes, Legally separated. yippee. -_-;; whatever. well at least he's taught her a thing or two about economy and finances and everything in between, i'm sure. there! silver lining! yay.
