I’ve a friend who feels a little down the past few days. She’s been having problems with work and it feels like she just wants to be gone for awhile. But who wouldn’t be stressed with all the number hours that she dedicates at the office on a daily basis without getting proper compensation for the extra time. But it’s partly herself to blame. Still, I can’t help but understand her situation. I’ve been through the same problem as before.

could've done better
August 18, 2009 — edcelI couldn’t do anything as much as I wanted to, and I guess that’s where I failed. Sure, I was physically there but in my mind I needed to get some rest. My back was aching but I wanted to be there to be a friend. Some friend I am, I couldn’t even console to show my sincerity. I feel like ice, so cold and hard. Darn. She didn’t get the job and no matter how hard I tried to sincerely tell her it’s okay, I know it isn’t. I felt the same way when I was in her shoes. But then I had no one to confide how I felt. I guess it’s better if things are done this way, on our own. I admire her determination of not letting nepotism get the better of her. She can easily just follow her family’s footsteps and easily become a boss but she didn’t want to. She wanted to prove herself worthy on her own. Still, I could’ve been a better friend.
helping out a friend
August 17, 2009 — edcelTrying to stay awake even if my mind isn’t so I can help out an old high school friend to get into the company where I’m working. Definitely I have no qualms at her communication skills since she’s a goof Communicator. I shouldn’t nervous either because she’s better than most of the people I know. I guess it’s a matter of finding out what will happen that bothers me. Sometimes you get too confident that you’ll never know what hit you in the face whenever things don’t go according to plan. In any case, I’m praying that everything will be alright as I want to help her as well as she’s also looking out for a good job. I better get back to her as her exam’s almost over.
bumping
June 9, 2009 — edcelI bumped into a friend two weeks ago during our Summer Outing party that the company hosted for us employees. I met my friend-turned-acquaintance and she informed me that she transferred due to the compensation and benefits that my present company is offering which is definitely better than her previous employer.
catching up
May 25, 2009 — edcelI just met up with a high school friend during a beach outing that the company I work for was conducting. Anyway, she’s a registered nurse and it was nice to talk to her about how things have been going despite the lack of time. Anyway, she told me that she actually applied for volunteer work and is right now waiting for her chances to land a job that’s related to the field that she took.
being there
May 8, 2008 — edcelA friend’s dad just passed away.
I was off to work one Wednesday morning, I was hurrying to go up to the office cause we had a meeting at 10:00. I was late again for 15 minutes. The moment I clocked in, I got a call from a colleague/friend saying that she needed help because she’s the only one left in the hospital with her father and that she didn’t know what will happen with her pop.
