bored

September 5, 2006

From where I sat on the 14th floor of the building enjoying my coffee, I looked at the busy street below.  The way people went by the streets make them like small lego toys moving about.  There were cars and people zigzaging the straight lines.  Ants.  I wonder, how many of them were worker ants, soldier ants and so on. 

I really am getting bored.  I have to notice stuff like these. Sigh.

I have thought that I would spend some time not doing anything at all when I start in a new company.  I had thought that maybe, CoA was the only company who bombarded new hires with stuff to do because they hired them to learn things done by those who are leaving.  I thought that the best, rather ideal scenario, is to have the person properly onboarded then put them into action, especially for experienced hires.

Well, there was the disclaimer long ago that CoB wasn't a perfect company.  I guess there isn't one really.  And to be honest, this one is far better in many ways than CoA was at the time I left, objectively speaking.  I could site more than 5 points where CoB is better than my previous. 

Then why the complaints?

Why am I complaining that I am getting paid without working? (Tatay said that CoB is losing money on me - with me not working).
Why am I complaining that I spend almost 8 hours just doing nothing and get paid?
Why am I bored that I am spending more than half hour lunch and go to the mall after lunch and go back later than expected?
Why am I bored???

I am saying things in verbatim.
I am bored.

I apologize for the non-sensical contents of this post. I really have nothing to say much, but I wanted to jot them down.  Maybe some other day, I'll get to post something more relevant.

[1] yeah, i wanted to create a new one, probably in blogspot or something. but i don't know those html css stuff. i wanted to use wordpress themes, they looked a bit like this, but i tried downloading them and putting it in blogspot - it was weird!!! any thots?

You can't use a WP theme on a blogger platform. They are different from each other. if you want to use wordpress, then go to wordpress.com and register, it's free anyway. The good thing is, you can import your old posts from your old blog. I dunno if it will work with i.ph though.

However, if you really like the wp themes but prefer to use blogspot, there are some wp themes that have been tweaked for blogspot users.

So it's your choice. :-)
