Why I am moody and have an aching back...

Today is physically, mentally and emotionally tiring! I had an interview at Accenture at 9AM but i had to be there 830 to answer an essay question. To top that, they made me research about Accenture and programming work last night! They informed me at 8pm last night, talk about pressure!

I got there 8:45 but still managed to finish the essay: "What is your understanding of Accenture?" before my interview started. The HR person who interviewed me was Ann Bernardo, somehow her name sounds soooo familiar! Anyway, she asked me basic stuff and also probed on my being a Comm major applying at Accenture. Then she asked me a situational question:"Tell me about a time that you had to learn something new and how did you go about it?"

So i talked about my having to do video editing project for CS 175, Intro to Multimedia hehehe. It's really great that i was able to talk to my CS friend and ask him about his interview at Acceture two months ago!

The immediate recommendation of Ms. Bernardo was for me to do my personal research or tutorial about programming languages so i could get a feel if this is really what i would want to do for the next 2 years (there's a 2 year contract once you get accepted). Hmm, i wonder if she just meant well or is it a subtle way of telling me to go to where you belong, Comm major! Hahaha, i'm insecure and paranoid.

I finished the interview at about 10:20 and still had a 10am shift at Terminal 1, NAIA. Yes, i was late! I told the OIC that i would be at the airport by 10:30, but i got there around 11:00 already! Traffic was hell!

At least when i got to the airport, i had a bit of rest. Accenture also bugged me again coz somehow their files weren't updated and this call center agent was asking me to call her back regarding taking the test at Accenture. I already took the test! I had the first interview,too! I was calling her 1:02pm at the airport but it seems like their lunch break is until 1:30pm. So that was an added unnecessary hassle.

Another nuisance done on purpose was that our salary (in cheques) was going to arrive at 5pm--when all the banks are closed already for the weekend. So the only time we can encash it is on Monday. Oh and the bank where the cheque was issued from, is different from before--it used to be Bank of Commerce (there's a branch at the airport), now its Keppel Bank (guess what? no branch at the airport).

My tiring day doesn't end just yet. This co-worker of mine is starting to have an attitude problem and it just annoys and depresses the hell out of me. I can only take so much negativity in one day and i had to be with her for 6 hours. Of course she wasn't annoying all the time, but it's the bad timing of her nagging that gets me riled up.

When i finally got my cheque, the amount was lacking P250. The one issuing our cheques thought i was late on one work day! Aaaaargh, i know i was late today but i wasn't late in timing in EVER--until today. So i told him but he got the rules all wrong...sigh, luckily, there's someone to back me up. Hopefully, it would get settled.

I was on my way home already and it was SUPER DUPER TRAFFIC! I had to pass by Landmark to get a customer's Herbalife orders then i passed by Megamall to fetch my parents. Traffic is sooooo stressful! I can't even look forward to anything tomorrow except that i won't have to wake up very early.

Anonther "depressant" is my very fat and bloated figure because i have a fitting tomorrow for my cousin's wedding. After lunch, i'll be meeting with my customer's niece to give her orders...hey, I'll have money! Yehey!!!! Now, that's finally something to look forward to!

Okay, i feel just a wee bit better! but that beats feeling 100% grumpy!
