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.

For the Love of Nature

From the terrace of my apartment. These bright rays of the sun bathing the river below.

Every time I woke up during my day off from work. I love the sound of chirping house sparrows when I would open my window and door leading to the terrace.  I just could not have a chance snapping photos of them. They normally appeared when the sun is to start rising. 

A New Beginning

Folks, there is another side of the story I have not told you yet. After my lead training for escalation agent was concluded in mid February this year. While my co trainees and I were in the process of getting ourselves used to answering escalated calls, we had a general assembly. At the general assembly or simply a general meeting we were informed the electric company that hired our Call Center will no longer renew their contract with Manila, Philippines Call Center. 

Did I worry about becoming jobless? To be honest, yes. However, all of us were given assurance by the Call Center we are working for, we are to be transferred to other account. Lucky for us, the Call Center we are working for has several accounts. Some of the accounts are in the process of hiring employees. I was first endorsed to a gaming account unfortunately I did not pass the tech exam.
