It's been 3 days since the last time I publish an article. Sunday was my day off and I spend my day relaxing at home. Sunday is a lazy day for me even if I have lots of laundries to be done still I choose to just relax and sleep almost all day. It was a sunny day and it makes feel lazy going outside. I was supposed to wash my laundry in the spring but I decided not to because it is so hot outside. I didn't even clean the house as I started trying to sleep around 9 am. I had acid reflux due to overeating LOL. The reason why I felt so sleepy after eating. Anyway, I deserve to have some rest on my day off as I work so hard from Monday till Saturday. I need to relax my mind, especially my eyes from facing the computer screen for almost 8 hours a day.

Monday, I already expect a lot of customers because of the Senior Citizens who need to have a 2x2 picture ID for the validation of the cash assistance that they will receive from the government called UCT(Unconditional Cash Transfer). Based on my research UCT(Unconditional Cash Transfer) is the biggest tax reform mitigation program under the TRAIN Law. It seeks to provide cash grants to poor households and individuals who may not benefit from the lower income tax rates but may be adversely affected by rising prices. Senior citizen also needs to photocopy their valid IDs or their Senior citizen ID.

Not only that but students also have their project period so I had lots of document printing last Monday. I had a very busy day yesterday and I even almost forgot to eat my launch. If my daughter didn't message me on messenger I will not remember what time was it. It was almost 1 pm.No wonder I felt hungry. When I got home from work I felt so exhausted and tired. My energy was all used up. I felt so drained. As much as I wanted to relax when I got home but my son misses me and wanted to stroll around our neighborhood. I can't say no to him as I feel guilty being away with him almost every day.

So today, it is Markets day in our town or we call it TABO day, and usually, it's a busy day for me at work since people from distant barangays go to town to buy groceries and also had their chance to drop by here at the computer shop. When I arrive at the computer shop it was around 8:15 am and a lot of customers are already waiting outside the computer shop. They are all senior citizens. So upon opening the computer shop I gave them a priority number so it will be easier to call them. They are like hungry people.Pinag aagawan yung priority number.Since I only have 1 up to 20 priority numbers so the rest can wait for the first batch to be done before they can get a number.

I had around 80 customers.Whoah, that's a lot. For most of them, I had to take a picture for their 2x2 pictures and some of them just send their picture via Bluetooth or scan their pictures. Imagine from taking pictures to cropping, changing to white background, and putting an outline of each picture before printing it. It's literally draining my energy and I started to have a headache from facing the computer screen straight from 8 am till noontime. I just a small break. Glad my daughter was here after they had their meeting at their school this morning. I let her eat her lunch first then I take my turn to eat my lunch. I honestly don't like eating faster and I don't like eating while someone is looking at me. I felt uncomfortable chewing the food I am eating. Does anyone here feel that way too?

So I had the chance to take a little rest around 2 pm. I got the chance to stand up and do a little stretching. As of writing right now I still have a few customers before I will close the computer shop.

Ending thoughts

It's not every day that I will be this busy at work and I am not complaining hence I am thankful that I got a lot of customers. More customers more sales for my boss. I am thankful that I still manage to serve them with a smile even if I felt so tired already.

So I am so sorry if I am not that active here for almost 3 days. I have to do my job. I have to face the real world. I tried to read articles at night though or sometimes at dawn time.
