I Got My Voice Back

My breakfast today. Cereal, graham crackers, pineapple tidbits and grapes.
I added milk and it tasted yummy!:)

After two days of nursing my voice with ginger and hot tea with lemon. I was back to work last Thursday. My team captain instead of charging my two days absences to sick leave had me on furlough. The two days will be charged to my vacation leave within the month. The company allows us six days sick leave a year. 

If we do not use the sick leave, we received the cash equivalent of six days or whatever remains of our sick leave comes February of the succeeding year. We, employees had been bombarding management to convert to cash at least six days of our vacation leave in addition to the six days sick leave.  In this way employees would be encouraged to report to work.  Management could not decide yet. That is one thing with big companies. They have to reconsider budget, and all.

Furlough

Yesterday night, I reported for work as usual. It was a little different anyhow from previous nights, I have no voice. I remember the voice of Ariel being stolen by Ursula at the Disney flick Little Mermaid. I hope no one attempted to steal my voice. It is one of my greatest assets. Likewise, talking as most gentlemen knew is the best pastime for most ladies. I am not exempted.

Yes, I do sing, inside the bath room. Working in a call center, my voice has a price of gold. The gold is just converted to Philippines Pesos. I was allowed not to accept calls. Otherwise I might get dissatisfied customer. They might think they are talking to Minnie Mouse. While I sat on my desk, I read all work related emails, saved the important ones and deleted those that are not needed. I created folders for each updates and tools I used at work for easy reference.
