Introduction
I just got a “Memory” notification on my Facebook. A picture of a fruit is posted on my “My Day” that I posted in 2023. It has been two years since i have been working. I was doing desk job at first, which was fine. Sit all day and manage profits. This year im at the store as a technician, very taxing since im also part runner, i go to the warehouse, lift all the items that were purchased by the customers. It’s fine though, but sometimes i want to quit working. I feel like im working just to work, and i only have one day off. I also miss just chilling in front of my computer and play games with my friends, and now i can’t play since i dont have a PC. While i am far experienced in life compared to the person i was a few years ago, i envy a small part of my old self which is being able to relax most of the time, controls his own time, and free. Don’t get me wrong, i am thankful for what i have today, it’s just that, my time is very much used by my employers.
Anyways, here are my plans or what i have in mind about this thing.
Body
What i currently doing most of the time
Work. Yep, this is what my current life mostly does. Wake up at 7am, try to stay awake since its cold in my dorm room, get up at 7:30am, watch youtube until it’s 8:20, then get ready to work and head to the store hoping im not late with the use of grace period. That is what i do six times a week. It is very tiring but for some reason, i can take it. Maybe because of my age, since im kinda young.
While im getting paid low salary, i like my job. Im a technical store staff and i like configuring things, i think i can help our customers even with how little the problem is. It feels good to help others. Since im a few months in this position, i think i know the basics. I learned that the world i know before is far small compared to now. New interests allure me, more seasonings on my viand of life. I leonard that what i wanted before to learn was arts, and now, i want to learn technicals. Yes i was interested in doing manual skills before, and now, im at the verge of being hands on in manual skill. While i dont think my job can be called manual skill, its still pretty close. I learned a lot in this technical job. My job is CCTV store tech, by the way; but we also sell Fire Alarm Setup, Access Controls, and Time Attendances. I learned a few technical skills and gave me confidence in my skills and i am thankful for being put into this spot. Even if i cant play with the equipments to gain more knowledge, i know a few things that makes me competent for the job.
But there are times where it makes my head heated when the customers are just repetitive and has an attitude. While i cant just leave them on hold since our customers are face to face, i just hold it inside and it the negative feelings slowly fade, and hopefully it does not stay for a long time. I dont even know if forgetting yesterday’s shift was good, but it always happens. When someone reminds me of the order a few days ago, im just like “what order?” like a guy who just started working today. Maybe its just me since my coworkers can vividly remember certain moments, but me? Yeah dont ask me anything that happened before, because i was probably spaced out, or too confused to remember.
My coworkers are fine. They are friendly, easy to talk to, they are like family, sometimes. What i dont like is that i dont think i mesh well with them. I think they grew up in a extroverted environment while im inherently introverted. I just listen to them when they tell their stories and have fun, i talk sometimes but it takes a toll in me for some reason, like i need to use energy when talking to them compared to my close relationships.
Going Out. I go out at night and go on a date with my girlfriend. This is where i go outside and do something outside of work haha. We go out twice or thrice a week!
Mindless Scrolling. Yes, this is my peak entertainment. Maybe one of the main reason i can't post on my blog site on time. Bro the pull of Reels are real. I can't even remember the time before i was hook on reel, specifically on instagram. How did i live without reels before? Probably youtube. Youtube and instagram reels are a big distraction for me digitally. And hopefully i get this sort out.
Workout seldomly. I miss having a slightly muscly fat body, now its mostly fat with a hint of muscle. And while i just said that reel is a big distraction for me, i think my Job is the main reason i dont work out regularly. When i come dorm from work, im spent. I have little energy left to go to the gym since one of the things i do at work is to walk like a few hundred meters to the warehouse, get some items, either light or heavy, then walk back to the store. I do that a few times a day, in six days. It varies depending on how many customers we got on that day, but in the summer, we get a lot. So with little energy, i just excuse myself to not go to the gym by saying that “Well, im tired from working, walking and lifting from work, so that counts are working out right? So im not gonna go to the gym!”. I should just go to gym atleast 2 times a week, i know :(
What i would like to be doing
Retire HAHAHAHAH. CAN YOU IMAGINE PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE MY WISH COME TRUE?!>?!?!!?!?11!!!! But seriously, i would like to win the Lotto and just chill for the rest of my life. I miss putting bets there, maybe i should do it again.
Have my own business. My girlfriend and i decided to make a little side hustle. Hopefully we get to do this after we do the Civil Exam this upcoming month. Our side hustle is not that flashy, but we are hoping it sells, even go even. We have no knowledge about our planned business except from the things we see online, so im hoping we can do this and become our main source of income.
If unable to be my own boss, work on a high paying, satisfying job. If our business fails, i can try again. But while we’re trying again. I want to work on a new job, hopefully paying high and satisfying as well. When thinking of another job to replace my current one, i wanted to do BPO since they pay well, but when i searched for a video about BPO, i stumble across BPO / Call Center haters. Those videos said that it was hell working on a BPO/Call Center (mostly call center but i put BPO coz i think they are the same), not because of the customer, but the company as well. They said that people are competitive in those field , HR are strict, and performing great is nigh hard. Hopefully i get to work somewhere satisfying.
Maybe getting a great job would need me to learn new things. Work on my certifications and learn new skills. Heck maybe i can learn in on the job. The only thing that stops me is my me. Im not really a risk-taker, which is unfortunate since it is the key for a high chance of success in anything. Anyways im just saying this for the word count hehe.
Have my own place. The dream, i dont want to pay rent my guy, or atleast get myself an apartment. I cant livestream and use desktop computer in my current dorm so hopefully i get out of here. I cant wait to get my own place in the future!!!!!!
The most possible thing, resign and make a plan about my life. I’m planning to resign this year, just waiting for something to happen and im done. Maybe take a month off and rethink my life. But i want to play and ease off. Working six times a week is very hard for me to maintain. I dont want my body to ache most of my morning. If i resign, the first month of my unemployment would just me playing video games again like a kid, then after that, apply for a new job. Oh yeah i forgot that i will take TESDA courses as well when i become unemployed. TESDA is a Vocational Schools here in the Phillippines, more on Blue-Collar work, i think i like blue-collar work not gonna like.
Thats my plan. Game, go to vocational school, look for a new job, and side hustle. Ofcourse still do blogging!
Conclusion
Poopy poo poo. I like working, i think i became useful for other people, and it shows, not like doing this stupid blog or anything i have done individually, just joking, a bit. But yeah, i want to resign and take a little breather, i would like to learn another job and maybe like my future work more than now. Hopefully whatever step i take, it leads me to me being rich and not having to work most of my waking day.
