Thank you for calling **** support. My name is Lay, how can I assist you?
The kind of job I imagine for myself but I never wanted to end up with and yet I’m in my 4th month of this kind of job. Shockingly confusing isn’t it? Yup! I now work as a call center agent despite my discriminatory opinion and awful disgust while I’m about to graduate from college and still uncertain where to apply for a job that is somehow (if not mostly) related to my field of study. This is what people call “HYPOCRISY” and I admit it myself that I was (and is) one of them. Shifting schedules, OT-TY (overtime-thank you), getting unconnected to the real world, having lesser time with family and friends, sitting for 8 hours taking calls from some irate callers who thought they know the procedures better than you do yet I don’t know why they’d still have to call for help, understanding and explaining over and over again and over and over again and over and over again (*redundancy intended*), going home, sleep, waking up, and work again. C’EST LA VIE!
But what am I complaining about!? Isn’t this how things work? You need to find a living to live and—OKAAAAAAY! My other self, off you go. Gosh! I sometimes feel like I’m having a multi-personality disorder and to prove that I don’t, I will not remove the paragraph above... I… will… not… Simply because I’m aware. Wait, what?
So, I’m in my 4th month now of being a call center agent. I’m so happy to get this job with all the freebies (free coffee, free cold and warm water, free meds, free using of refrigerator, and free using of microwave oven which is very useful for re-heating foods) and the benefits giving me the comfort of thinking my future ahead knowing that I’m fully insured and covered and secured. I get well paid that I’m now able to contribute to house expenses. I never have to ask or borrow money from my parents anymore ‘coz I am now financially self-sufficient. I have my own savings now for future investments and some extras for self-indulgence. As for now, I am proud to say that I have crosschecked another hopeful desire from my bucket list and that is to have a stable job. BRAVO!
But am I happy? Am I satisfied? I know for sure I’m much better than before yet I know I could be better than this. Although I don’t find it right not to get contented while there are thousands of people out there seeking for employment but I just can’t help to think of the things I could’ve had if only I pursued what I studied for. Oh wait, was that me?
