Going AWOL
I'm in my mom's office right now in the Philippine Ports Authority head office. The people here are snoozing off the after, and I'm taking the chance to get some free blogging time. I didn't go to work today, obviously. I practically begged mom not to make me go. But she said that since this is my first job, it would be much better if I made a polite exit. So I called TL and asked her if I can go about getting an immidiate resignation. My job will be over and done with by November 1, All Soul's Day. I'm not sure if I'd still be going to work then, since the enrollment will be on the 30 to the 31st of this month. Boji's will be this Sunday, the 29th. Papa would be withdrawing a huge chunk of cash this weekend..

Speaking of my beloved grandfather, he erupted today when the paperwork about the house couldn't be found. Mom says he was just acting it; nevertheless, it made me a bit jumpy. I am not used to a man yelling. Boji can be harsh sometimes, but when we fight, I'm usually the one who is shouting. And mom, well, she's the only parent I was able to see really angry. And it wasn't a good sight.
Mom cried out of frustration. She isn't feeling well, having helped Boji get the stuff he needs for their event today. Table setting something? He's about to be inducted as an officer... The trainees are now just three (starting from the original 27 hopefuls) and my baby brother is acting as their leader. He celebrated his birthday yesterday with the nonstop downpour and a long list of to-do.
I'm just glad he's taking on his responsibilities much more focused.

I'd be going to UST after this, after I wake mom up. I need to process my returning this sem, then I'd have to go home and get some sleep so I can go to work tomorrow and present the letter of resignation to TL. I'd go from there I guess.

Five more days and I'd be free from my first job... However productive and helpful it had been, financially and socially-speaking, I'm glad I'm done... Schoolwork! I'm back!!!
