boredom kills

Is it me or is the time here at work is slower than usual? My shift started at 12 midnight and it's only 2 am. I am currently on my first 30 minute break (thank goodness we have a quite long avail) eating ham sandwich in whole wheat bread. Hopefully I would take my other two breaks.

Now I just came back from lunch and it's already 6:05am Philippine time. I have four more hours before I get out of this office. It should be three more hours but I have a one hour mandatory OT stress on MANDATORY, and it ticks me off. On the bright side I'll be able to go to church and buy a Yellow Cab pizza for the family (I want Sbarro though) or for my sister (the one who had just malaria). But it would be really bright by the time I leave here and it would be HOT!

I am currently troubleshooting a customer who had just installed her modem. Oh well, this job has its perks and downs. And mostly there are more downs than perks. I want to be treated like a human being not a machine!

Still had the dilemma if I have to quit or not. I wanted to but I have no choice. Maybe I need to learn some valuable lessons here: patience and endurace for example. Both of these traits I lack. I easily get angry, impatient and frustrated. I want things to go MY way or else. Isn't that a crime? Everyone wants to have their own way right? And please if someone here disagrees with me, I'll call him/her hypocrite. I was expecting that my current job is better than the previous one but it isn't, it's much worse.

And real worse since we are undestaffed (the rate of employees resigning is greater than the rate of employees of being hired). So our schedule is so fucked up that I wonder if I'll still be alive by the time next week is over. Then there's the split shift by February and I don't want to begin there. But at least we have a ride when we get off the office at 12 midnight.

Good luck to me. May St. Barachiel watch over me while I punch the monitor. Y'know if my computer monitor has a face it would be badly bruised by now.

Oh well, this is what I get when I'm bored.
