peoplesupport

i just chatted with a former officemate and i suddenly, greatly, missed ps!

god, it's been a long time since i last thought of my days in ps. it was there where i started to become part of the working force of the philippines haha. after years of convincing myself that i would never work in a call center, i ended up having it as my first job! and i didn't have regrets doing it at all. it was there where i met friends that i still keep up to this day and i never thought we would last this long.

"thank you for calling expedia.com, this is matteo, is there a reservation i can help you with? "
LOL fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i remember we had to train for 2 months under kitch and shy -- who by the way are great trainers =) and we had nesting for about a week, i think. then after that, all hell broke loose. hahahahahaha...

i miss waking up at 3 in the morning and having a very good commute to work. i miss the cigarettes i take before my shift. i miss the taho. i miss talking to a bunch of stupid people. i miss being stalked hahaha. no really, this girl was really something. i miss the morning breaks. i miss expedia. i miss my supervisors. i miss my call being barged. i miss waiting for csa to finally pick up and do whatever it is that they do that i can't do LOL. i miss getting incentives (top 2 across centers! kamon kamon! top 1 si ivar). i miss the P1.00 coffee. i miss the free cocoa. i miss the soap and the neverending supply of toilet papers. i miss having lunch at 3 in the morning. i miss having lunch at 10. i miss the "toot" sound my access card makes. i miss the carpet. i miss the emails - the chatlook. i miss my long hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i miss the all-week gimik - we go out EVERY DAY. that's also where i experienced a gimik with my batchmates for 24 freaking hours!!!!!!!! i miss the utter freedom after work. i miss walking out of the building with a lot of friends in tow. i miss the haggardness of csat's. i miss seeing ps almost torn to pieces by one storm. i miss braving the storm just to be on time. i miss NEVER being late. i miss being young and carefree while working there. i miss daydreaming over hotels and vacation packages i'm booking for clients. i miss the culture in ps. i miss the emotions. i miss... i miss everything about it!

gawd, this is so nostalgic. i can still smell the distinct smell of the office, the background voices of people working, the clicking of the mouse and keyboard, and the financial freedom i had when i was working there.

le sigh.
friends in ps, i miss you sooooo much and i wish that we'd have the same experience as before. and until then, let's gimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!

this is our un-official theme song.. gawd i still remember hahaha.



ciao!
