This is the first time I took a leave from work since I started more than a month ago.
This is a whiff of fresh air for me, sort of an imposed break, considering that my office resembles a barangay health center more than a corporate setting. The din created by non-stop ringing of the phones, agents shouting at the top of their voices, the broken air-conditioning, the non-existent facilities, the crowded, storeroom atmosphere and worst of all, my mono-block chair. Yah, the company's too cheap to provide me with even a decent chair where I can park my ass. I've been given an impressive PC to work on, it is not yet working, however. Some brand from China I have never, ever heard of.
God knows how long I will last in this environment. Thankfully, I got a new foreign project and I think I will prioritize this one rather than my job. I keep getting really bad headaches because of the stifling environment-- hot, stuffy and very noisy. This is the only job so far wherein I have to take a paracetamol before going to work. I wonder how people here can last as long as they did.
