Yes, finally a new entry!!!! I’m so sorry for the sudden hiatus. I never really thought I’d be super busy this month. First of all, thank you so much for all the comments I received on my previous entry! Thank you for the warm appreciation of my vector. =D I’m sorry if I wasn’t able to comment back in return. Hopefully, I can bloghop today after writing this.
Anyhow, my April was rainy and I’m not just talking about the rain showers we had recently. My work has been pretty stormy lately too — and that’s not just with all the workload I’ve received the whole month but also with the whole office too — which was quite sad. Two of our colleagues resigned already…. more are planning to resign in the coming months too… including me perhaps. Our boss wrote a memo some new rules which we all think was… unfair. A few of those new rules are whenever we came in late for work and if ever we had accumulated a certain number of hours a week like 1 hour for example, we have to come to work on a Saturday to spend an hour’s work to make up for the late hours we have accumulated the entire week, then whenever we file a sick leave (or vacation leave), we also have to come to work on a Saturday to make up for the leave we filed… like….. what’s the sick leave for in the first place? I understand the late thing, they just don’t want us to come late everyday but how about the sick and vacation leaves? If we are entitled to have leaves, then why do we have to make up for it on a rest day? Plus, they blocked every single site we visit… okay, I understand why they blocked sites such as friendster, facebook, multiply but blocking even deviantart and other art/resource related sites? Isn’t that a bit too much? They even blocked flickr, imeem, last.fm, plurk, twitter, and can you imagine this? — even my domain! They also deleted my mp3s and itunes and made my account limited — meaning I can’t install anything, even a single FONT on my office computer.
I can’t believe! I got so disoriented that I can’t design properly. I want my music and fonts back damnit! Why can’t our boss understand that he’s already suffocating us? Designing without inspirations, music, and a decent resource stock is like…… HELL. I feel so limited and it’s suffocating!!!!
My workload’s hellish as well. See the first photo above? I took the first photo on a Tuesday night before going home…. at the end of the week the whiteboard became a white and red striped board! Apparently, our boss doesn’t want to see any white space on our board too. Sad…. plus, we are being timed as well. According to our boss, he wants us to be efficient…. efficient to the extent of working on 2 projects at the same time. The funny thing is, my boss wonders why I easily get sick these days. I’m coughing for 3 weeks already and I’ve been getting migraines every now — STRESSSSED!
Aside from all my work crap, I’ve tried dying my hair red (well, reddish brown to be exact) but it was a failure!! I got a little bit reddish brown though… hehe! Plus, the flower on my photospam is a glimpse of my last shoot. I’m excited to shoot again….. sana may kasama ako magshoot. *wink wink* Hopefully I can have my film developed this coming week. I’ve posted a screencap of my almost done portfolio too!
So to sum it all, APRIL = WORK SUFFOCATION MONTH! haha!
