Game Over

This is my last day today here in what I considered my first-ever job after I graduated 5 years ago. My table mirrors my mind: papers and plans scattered along with trashes, my computer monitor heavily adorned with yellow post-its almost shouting my "to-do's". This is the break I needed.

Instead of rushing to the deadliest deadlines and turn-overs, I just sat here along with my keyboard all alone yet composed. I don’t want to stress further my mind.

I could still remember when I went here in Cebu, eager and full of hope looking for my first ever job. I was not surprised when I was hired, for it seemed I knew already that they should get me in their company. (ooppss…bikil) I grabbed the opportunity of giving it a shot since it was my first then, for the record. And besides I will be working in what I considered "under my career list". I grabbed the starter rate they offered. Later to found out it was not worth it.

It was job briefing and orientation on for the first day. But it seemed I knew already the bounds of my works just in my few days of stay in the company, then boredom started to creep my mind. And boredom breeds boredom in the next few months. And in the next final months.

Yun lang napagod na ako. Change work naman. Kaya heto…this is my last day. I had a lot of plans in my mind, and I should start to work on it by leaving this job. I'm not happy anymore.

See you Gensan! I miss Baktas. So much.

BTW, my appreciation goes to all people whom i worked with the past year. I learned a lot. And I am happy to say I grew....a little!
