Birthday Girl
Published Thursday, February 17, 2005 by ex-complicated dude | E-mail this post 
It's mom's big day today. For the one and only mother (ala Melanie Marquez, hehehe) I have, Happy birthday, Mom!
What will be a great birthday present I can give? Hmmm...
Flowers?
(parang sa girlfriend...)Cake?
(parang sa bata...)Chocolates?
(she's on a diet...)My salary?
(ekis)But I am required to render extended time today. I have yet to render OT this week coz:
February 14 - Monday OTs are a definite no-no. I specifically requested my boss to spare this day for overtimes. I bargained Saturdays and even Sundays for this. I planned to render OT that day but I don't wanna look pathetic so I only stayed for 30 minutes;
February 15 - post - Valentine's dinner date with friends;
February 16 - had my 2nd facial session; and
February 17 - Mom's day.
February 18 - TGIF! (Do you know anyone who extends office hours during Fridays?)
You might say that rendering OTs is not such a big deal if you're getting paid for it, but let me show you my workstation first:

Yep.
Double monitors. If eight hours is stressful to some, let them try using double monitors computers. It's double the stress but your salary is the same with those using a real computer.
I think I made my decision.
It's knowing the things that matter. If it's family over double monitor computer... the answer's quite obvious.
