its weird to think of how thing fall into place perfectly but even weirder should they fall "exactly" into their places or else. Just this afternoon, I had some trouble with Equitable PCI on the releasing of checks for my car loan. Apparently, they had this new stipulation that would take another 2 weeks before my check would be released. WTF?!?! Given this scenario, here's how it SHOULD fall:
July 15: Get cash from mom worth 80,000 and 60,000 from CJ (both happen to be lifesavers) and then pay Carol our Cash loan of 140,000 plus a 1,400 interest.
July 23: Payment of 40,000 to my mom via our 14th month bonus. (this directly translates to NO AUDIO CABLE for cd changer)
July 26: check gets released (hopefully) and deposited for clearance
July 28: check gets cleared, I get paid for 170,000 in which 100,000 goes to my mom, 60,000 to CJ and 10,000 for our funds.
Aug 9: 2nd installment of car insurance
Aug 23: 1st payment for car loan amounting to 10,000.
I mean, these date are DEAD set. the slightest change would definitely cripple me financially. Whoever said that living on the edge was great is probably dead by now.
The "EXACT" timeframe
N-gage(d) in dilemma
When it rains, it pours. Last friday I posted my Tungsten W at Bidshot (the pinoy ebay!) hoping that a rich soul would have some techno-urge and purchase my overpriced paperweight. True enough, someone made a deal via text message sunday. We were to meet the next day at around 630-7pm, near my office in Makati. Guess what? he actually had the guts to tell me that he ran out of money and would like to purchase it 3K less than what was initially agreen upon. Fuckin jerk. So now I'm stil stuck with my T|W, still hoping for a buyer and still longing for the Nokia n-gage.
I was also scheduled for an interview at Accenture today. Was asking for a Team Leader postion (supervisory) but last night, their HR called it off due to some "technicality". Apparently they still have in their record my previous application around 3 months ago. I'm not really sure how it ended. As far as I'm concerned I've completed everything that was required of me and passed with flying colors. I guess slapping a 42,000/month salary plus benefits to a 25 year old isn't exactly their cup of tea. Oh well, the hunt goes on...
That's two. Next off is how I came about three incredible projects. Each one with a lot of potential for career advancement, learning and growth. One problem: my team leader. I don't know, I've come across a lot (trust me, a LOT) of morons and pathetic idiots who make a living out of corporate stupidity but nothing beats this one. I mean, he is not stupid for one. He's actually pretty capable of handling projects (NOTE: handling does not include development) BUT (there a big BUT here) I just can't take how he runs the farm. He thinks that he's technically capable but he's not. He may have a good grasp of SQL and the old school development tools but that's it. Leave the cup of coffee to us. Talk about spreading yourself thinly.
I watched The Saint about two weeks ago. Simon Templar said that to be a saint, he needs to perform 3 miracles. I wonder if 3 mishaps would do...
The city I live in, a city of angels.
Hmmm. The first ever blog. ehem. nothing special, i feel like i'm nothing more but another joe trying to jump in the bandwagon. then i'd come up with silly and lame excuses like "well, i think i'll really be needing this for.... blah, blah, blah". Oh well, who knows? this just might be useful for a few laughs a year or two from now.
< the title > afraid i still can't get rid of those annoying xml tags. been pissed off lately due to "unfriendly" projects. I remember "Under the Bridge" by RHCP, soulful song if you ask me. Too soulful. You'd be an idiot not to grab a bottle of beer and a couple of smokes but then you glance at one table full of HS students and you'll hear them chanting it like an old lady praying. That just ruins the whole thing.
"Wow, pare... sound trip" ... sound trip my a$$
