diary entry 31: bonus!!!

I wasn’t able to update my blog for days because I’ve been so busy at work…an officemate  is on leave and I’m assigned to do her work alongside mine.  One person plus a workload for two is equal to fatigue! When I come home, I’m too tired to do anything. I can hardly lift a finger due to exhaustion! Okay, okay…that is an exaggeration. But really, my day has always been packed. I can’t recall a day that I came home not tired. I have so much to do even during weekends. That is not actually a bad thing. Because my brain has been so filled up, it doesn’t have much time to think of some other things. But fortunately, I have a pretty light workload today. I finally have the luxury of time to write, so I’m seizing this day because for sure tomorrow would be hectic day again.

Generally speaking, I’m doing fine. God (as always) has been giving me constant strength to cope with my stressful life each day. Going to church and eating out on weekends are my only social life activities. Work has been tiring but tolerable. I still dislike my job, but am just trying to make the most of it. I just put myself on learning mode wherever I go.  As far as my body is telling me, my health is okay.  I have no enemies…or maybe none that I’m aware of. I continuously keep in touch with my loved ones to maintain good relationships with them. My civil status is still the same, and I prefer it to be that way for now. So all in all, I’m doing pretty well.  But my issues with sister aren’t resolved yet.  We are in speaking terms. We are not fighting but there is underlying issues between us…which I prefer not to further tackle.

I received good and bad news last week! The good news is I received a huge amount of bonus! Yehey! How much?  My salary for 2 months not included my salary for this month! So in total, I received a 3-month salary! Yehey!  BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE…The bad news is that there something terrible happened back home and they need my financial assistance… DARN! I thought I could finally buy a new laptop! It’s so strange.  I had waited for this bonus since the end of the year ’08. After 4 months of anticipating, I finally saw it on my account… then just after a day of receiving it I got that bad news from home. DARN! But what else can I do? They need my help. Hmm… learning mode…learning mode…I’m on learning mode. For the life of me I need to know what to learn from this ironic situation!
