OMG! is it really almost a month!? of not posting!!!

Well i have the funny feeling that i need to apologize… tssk ive been getting mails actually of people asking how i was. hmm.. ok only 2.. eh, just browse over to my main blog, twisted thoughts… , where i post mostly every friday (or so) for my weekly entry at Illustration Friday.

i have countless posty drafts in my head but strangely have no time to pen it all down. what more - type it all and post it.

so hmm.. reviewing the thoughts in my head and the previous weeks that went berserk…

Firstly, i wanna say that I havent slept yet since i got home. but who can blame me.. my mind is not sleepy! and my Vodka Blueberry in the freezer have been calling my name since i got home but my legs are the ones who are too sleepy to go and get it.

Btw, reason for my absence in the blogspace is because of my job. Yes, for those who have been reading.. I have a daily graveyard shift that caters indeed to my insomnia.. but not to my social life! haaaa…

For two weeks now, we are asked (ok, not really forced, but since im new, they expect me) to work an extended 2 hours a day, and additional 8 hours in the weekend. Completing all that for an amount worth it, but thinking of one’s health.. ok (my heart *.* tells me i should be careful), im having second thoughts now if i can last here for years! haaa… see told you ask me six months if i would say the same thing. or even.. ’stay sane’ LOL

But hmm my daily motivational phrase.. another day, another adventure.. who knows who i chance upon while calling? Maybe a blogger who i regularly or once upon a time visited might be the person on the other line? What if? hmm …

One of my collegues have spoken with someone asking if she have a MySpace account (haaa!), another one have spoken with a writer who wrote these novels that became a movie.. and lots have spoken with other Pinoys working abroad (asking them to speak in our native tongue). One even saw the name of her former schoolmate among the list to call.. and here I am being asked if i can Fax over a cheque. haha!
“…but that’s impossible, Mr. blah blah”
“why?”
“Because the bank will not validate it coz they need a real cheque”
“oh?”

tsssk… ok want to hear more bloopers? and funny respondents?

I have a list of favorite respondents.. who always never fail to pop up once in a day. Like the people who answer like these:

Caller: “Am I calling the office of blah blah?”
Respondent: “You is.” (oh, yes I is indeed!)

Caller: “What time can I call back?”
Respondent no.1: “Call after one hours” (oh, good. thanks for not having second thoughts about the time)
Respondent no.2: “I doesn’t know” (yeah, I doesn’t either!)
Respondent no.3: “Next time when she is here” blag (oh, great! i sure know when!)
Respondent no.4: “Oh God, I don’t have time to talk about product XYZs. Call me at 10 o’clock, okay?” (ok, sure! see.. you have the time! and God is my witness!)

And the split personality break out:

Scene 1
Caller: “May I speak with the blah blah Manager? I believe his/her name is blah blah?”
Respondent no.1: “Michelle is not here. She’s gonna be back on Sunday.”
Caller: “Oh, on Sunday. Ok, may I speak with her assistant instead?”
Respondent no.1: “You can talk to me”
Caller: “Great. May I know your name please?”
Respondent no.1: “Michelle” (erm!)
Caller: (pauses) “Michelle?”
Respondent no.1: “Oh, it’s a different Michelle” (yeah yeah. stop convincing me.)

Scene 2
(same question)
Respondent no.2: “Alejandro? (pauses, probably looks around) He is not here.”
Caller: “Ok, may I speak with his assistant instead?”
Respondent no.2: “The owner is here.”
Caller: “Oh, that’s even better! May I speak with him then?”
Respondent no.2: “He is busy. Can you call back after 30 minutes?”
Caller: “Oh sure! And may I know his name, please?”
Respondent no.2: “Alejandro”
Caller: “Alejandro, the owner’s name is Alejandro?” (not again!)
Respondent no.2: (pauses) “Eh, it’s a different Alejandro” (and i bet she’s thinking im stupid. what a nice combination…Manager and Owner with the same name)

Scene 3
(same question)
Respondent: “Oh yeah, just a second. I go find him” blag! toot-toot-toot (no thanks, i think i found him!)

Scene 4
(same question)
Respondent: “She is not here.”
Caller: “Oh, so when can I call back for the manager?”
Respondent: “Call me on Monday at 3.” (oh, sure.. i think i found another missing manager!)

Respondent: “Manager not interesting.” (oh he’s not? ahh.. you mean he is not interested..)

Scene 6

Respondent: “Sorry. Sorry. I’m not interesting.” blag! (yeah, i know!)

Scene 7
(same question)
Respondent: “This is Pedro. But I am not the manager.”
Caller: “Oh, I’m sorry about that. May I know the name of the Manager then?”
Respondent: “Pedro.”
Caller: (pauses) (i think i have enough of this!)
Respondent: “We have five Pedros here” (oh Great! This is just great!)
