'so, now that i have already given you your credit limit information, and i've already sent you your pin is there anything else i could do to you...i mean with you..i mean for you?'
so goes one of my calls.
yes guys, FINALLY. i am now a full-pledged inbound customer service guy. and what fun it is to take 'em calls. joy in my heart.
and my schedule is super great. i am in at 12pm EST and would be out at 9pm EST. so that'll be 1am to 10am manila time. saya no?
anyway, the good thing is i have been assigned to the cutest team leader i've ever seen (and so far i have around ten, hehe). he is so mabait. because i am the youngest *ahem* and the most inexperienced *ahem ahem*, he has taken to teaching me everything about the csr world, compucredit style.
the downeside here is that i feel like i am back in gradeschool with a tutor (which has never happened cuz i never had a tutor), but then i get to sit with this cute TL of mine and make sure that my stats for work is good.
so basically that is my current work status.
PS
the TL is married. *thunder clap*
oooh ooooh, right. i was asked thrice by them yuppies to have coffee with them. big surprise when they found out that i am from the philippines. weirdos.
on the other hand, my social life is turning out to be exciting.
i have now resorted to watching movies alone. ALONE guys! imagine me sitting inside the movies, eating my big fries and drinking my big iced tea while randomly looking at couples who are making out by the sulok of the movie house and seeing friends make kwento and comments about the movie. exciting.
anyway, the latest movie (which in itself has a double meaning, go figure) is Eragon.
i have toiled in my waking hours and read the book itself. i always make it a point to read the book before i watch the movie.
u-huh. at sa ateneo high pa nanggaling ang copy ng Eragon na binasa ko. hehe. yun nga lang, na-overdue ko kasi
anyway, the book was good. really. i liked it. the scenery and the action was enough to keep me reading for hours. a bit weird, yes, the way Saphira and Eragon communicate (parang text messaging, naghahanap pa ng signal-may mms sending pa) but the whole package is a-ok.
i especially like the ancient language stuff. sounds really elvish-and i like elves.
enter the movie.
and no, hindi siya Christmas lumabas.
anyway, the movie was &*#$@!!%!!!
i do not know what i typed in, but i think it might say the movie ain't good. nuh-uh. no good at all.
the story flow was wrong. the scenes were wrong. the characters were wrong (Arya, she's an elf! where are the pionted ears? asan?!). the movie was wrong.
i may not be good at making movies (duh?), but at least they could've tried to live up to the book.
if rated, out of five the book gets 4 and the movie gets 1.78. there.
---------------------
it's my off till saturday. i will (i think) watch another movie.
that's it for now. toodles.
ehjiboi got weird at 9:37 PM
