Number Games

It's been quite some time since I last posted... The office has blocked this site from our pcs and this is the only time I've ever had access to non-office internet - and that's because our electricity was about to be cut off! To make the long story short, I had to do a fastest shower in the west thing and run to Meralco to pay our electric bill. It's a good thing our landlady can be quite the charmer... She asked the guy who came to cut off our electric supply not to do it since it was the first time it happened. She explained how we had different schedules and it was kind of difficult for us to find the time to pay, blah, blah... Which gave me enough time to run - in this melting heat - to the nearest Meralco office... Whew! Close call...

That's what I love about close calls. They make you think. This is probably the most exciting thing that's happened to me this month - I forgot. There was that incident last night. My boss suddenly appeared out of nowhere and I got reamed - not my fault, though. I seem to be a very convenient target for her rants. I don't mind. At least, I know that I'm just a sounding board.

I never thought I'd become a corporate lackey. I always thought I'd be doing something different. Different how? I have no idea... Back in high school, I was the arty chick. I was a writer and I wrote and directed our multi-award-winning play. In college, I took up this unknown course Comparative Literature... But now? I'm a corporate lackey. It's all about the numbers...
