Hey, I'm still here; update after days of my absences.

Hey, yah, Read cash, family! Here I am again after a long day of my absence. The company I am working with is slowly returning to normal, and if you guys remember, I've mentioned before that my weekend is usually packed. Sometimes I am on fieldwork as we conduct branch inventories or spot audits. This weekend, after almost three years, the management decided to proceed with the inventory in one branch nearest the office.

I have no plan to join, as I know it will be tiring. Yet, I was surprised when the team leader informed me last Friday that I was included in the workforce! Shemms, he won't accept "NO"! Not only that, but my Boss was also with us, as she is unfamiliar with the process.

We started yesterday, Saturday, and I was right. Demn! It was so tiring. The warehouse was until the 3rd floor. If you fear height, it would be challenging as the floor was not cement or wooden but Grills. The stairs were made of steel, as seen on fire exits.

The only good thing was there was enough workforce, so I am optimistic we will be done by tomorrow.

At lunch break, it seemed my officemates were all starving and forgot to call me for lunch. With that, I didn't have a choice but to eat alone. My feet brought me to the nearest fast food chain. As expected, the specialty is chicken! Yet I am already famished, so I ordered one serving. I didn't wait too long; it was served with free hot soup! Perfect! CHOW!

After a while, a customer sitting at the table next to me complained to the crew serving their orders;

Customer: Why was the halo-halo already served? Isn't it was supposed later? Will I be eating first.

Crew: ( he speaks in a low voice so I can't hear what he is saying)

Customer: Oh, every day, you should be aware of that! ( still ranting)

My inner Marites of me was summoned, so I stopped eating for a while and looked at the complaining customer. Then I realized why the hell she was complaining. I mean, she is eating fast food. What does she expect? Of course, all orders will be served together. Now, why not eat in a fine-dining restaurant if she wanted her way?

Ahhh, sometimes, I could not understand these types of people!

I urged to butt in was so strong as I wanted to slap her with reality but I am starving. Knowing myself and the words comes out from my mouth I might put myself in trouble. So I continued eating while silently telling myself, ( maka attitude akala mo kagandahan!)

=============================================================

The Saturday worked well, and we are almost done. Just some paper works. Encoding and system adjustments. I was busy doing such when suddenly my officemate told me;

Him: Les, maybe we could meet earlier at the branch or when I am still single; you become one of my Girlfriends.

Me: Huh? and how sure you are I would accept you?

Boss: (laughing) haha, so Sir, Type mo si Les.? ( Do you like Les?)

Him: Hmm, yeah, and she was pretty!

Me: I chose not to comment anymore to end the conversation. It was quite awkward! Then I remembered he always says I am pretty ( don't believe as I am NOT!) and expressed his admiration. Though he delivered it like joking, half meant.

Sometimes, he offered to drive me home or fetch me in the morning, but I always declined his offer. I know he is such a playboy, plus he is MARRIED!

RED FLAG!

My Boss was silly and even chatted with me when we went home Marites din.

Maybe, I will pretend tomorrow he didn't said those words or better not talk to him unless it was work related.

Hey, this is my link in Noise.app, perhaps you wanted to engage with me in there?
