things i'm starting to miss since i walked out that door

my 2nd day out of my comfy (and usually muddled) cube... it's raining hard and i'm starting to be bugged by feelings of longing for some things that have always been "just there" for almost 4 yrs:

  • how manong guard points me, among others, to use the stairs instead of the ramp. sheesh... i keep on forgetting that ramps are for vehicles and stairs are for people... haha.


  • how manong or manang lobby guard pretends to inspect my bag for any "materials of terrorism" or maybe, more subtly, just for "gadgets of information storage" to conform with bs799 chuva. in reality, they just seem to poke that antenna-looking thing inside my bag and portray an image of disinterest on whatever is in it.. and yes, i doubt that the garret thing has batteries... hihi


  • how i scan my id on the proximity reader, wait for the beep, and go in.


  • on the other hand, when the invalid beep shouts out, all i could do is give out an embarrassed smile and plead for te people inside to swipe their ids and open the door for me. =)


  • how my pc complains and gives me messages of "low memory chuva. quit some application chuva..." darn it... there are just too many open windows.


  • lately, how i struggled to find a break mate because there are just too few oldies to accompany you in your break.... and i end up going home to eat lunch or dinner.


  • my batchmates... all 9 of them: rico, jimboy, thyra, cindy, aileen, maricor, harbs, and downa... how we all jived and clashed (sometimes), but it's a great team...


  • my risksol SE and QA teammates... all the moments i laughed and cried with them. laughed for countless reasons... cried for reasons i don't even want to recall, but since i'm in a dramatic mood, yeah... i'd love to recall them all.


  • the company outings... how i ended up being drunk once and throwing up, and clogging the sink. it was hell...


  • the christmas parties, the endless gimiks to make the exchange gift fun... and they never failed. every event was just hilarious and great.


  • my nexis teammates... i was one of the newbies in the team... but heck... just heck hehe...


  • the puzzled look on the newbies' faces when i can't help them out in solving their problems.


  • and the delighted look on their faces when i was able to somehow help them out.


  • the weekly conference calls... how jimboy and dq and i will arrange the events so that one will be a bum for the night.


  • the stress it causes me to create my weekly timesheet


  • how i update the remaining hours spreadsheet on a monthly basis instead of the weekly frequency hehe.. lousy


  • the nights i spent in the office - unpaid... to finish off tasks


  • the pantry... oh... the pantry...


  • my dear newbies... for the shortest period of time, we've been close... they're all kind and good-hearted. and young hihi... and it makes my day when i see them online and i chat with them =)
