it's 7:45am and i'm writing this entry from the internet kiosk at the office. although i won't start my shift until 9am, being a wednesday, i came to work early to avoid getting caught since the car is banned from the roads today.

i continue to surprise myself daily with the things i'm doing. as i've said before, it has been a while since i had this feeling of enjoying coming to work on a daily basis. if i were still in my former company, i'd be more stressed out than before and i'll just be writing about how work sucks and not have a positive outlook towards my job. i wouldn't have imagined coming to work early, whether to avoid having my car getting caught on the road or not. i guess part of the reason why i wanted to come in early is for me to see my batchmates. all of us have really bonded during the first two weeks of training and became almost like family. although i had to be pulled out of process training to help out with recruitment (part of my position's "initiation") i make it a point to see them on a daily basis. i admit, i really miss being with them. although they're not my direct agents, the feeling is different when we're together. i have been with numerous teams and agents before, but this group of people stand out. i don't know how, i don't know why, but i'm thankful for having each and every one of them on that batch. i can say that for the first time in months, i am stress-free….mainly because of them.

on the flipside, i do miss someone. someone who hasn't made her presence felt since letting me know she has a new job at, ironically, a call center. ironic because she told me before that she'll never set foot on a call center because she doesn't like sitting around and talking. this feeling just hit me last night as i was laying in bed looking back at events while waiting to fall asleep. as i would always say, "it's just one of those days." although i have to admit, i haven't said that phrase in weeks. i guess finally enjoying work overshadowed that almost-weekly feeling. yet, being a gemini, it can't be helped. at least it still reminds me that i am still capable of missing someone. she, in particular, even if things between the two of us abruptly "ended." which reminds me, she'll be celebrating her birthday this friday. i guess i won't be part of her celebration (if she's gonna have one), but that's ok. what's important is that she's happy on her birthday.

a couple more weeks, it's gonna be christmas. my favorite time of the year. time to go back to the highlight reel and revisit the major events that happened to me this year and sum them all up on my yearly countdown. look for that to be posted here by early to mid-december. for those of you keeping track, well, you might know how the chart will look like. who knows, there might be a few surprises in store.

to end things, i also have to admit, i'm beginning to miss seeing another someone, although i just saw her recently…
