Starched Shirt..For Serious?

I hope this is what the HR lady will ask during the post-internship interview.
The questions range from what I learned from my internship, to how can I improve the company's work flow process (if there's any), what professional qualities I have obtained from work, and also give some worst scenarios I've encountered.
The truth is. .konti lang ang natutunan ko. Really. X my sweet heart. Eventhough Conde keeps on telling me how lucky I am with my company since his (ABS Interactive) treats them real B-A-D, di pa rin ako satisfied sa natutunan ko, sa environment, oo siguro masasabi kong I like it here but when it comes to task and proj development, wala na ako. Also, one disadvantage here in this effin company is that I get to wear long-sleeves with tie.
Everyday f*ckin extra-ordinary-not day.
Mondays to Fridays, you would see me rushing past the streets of Makati early in the morning in that starched long sleeves, then at night doing laundry, frantically scrubbing the soaked sweat, dirt and grime away.
So it's just fitting that another justification popped up as an excuse: I.WANT.to.LEARN.MORE!
Puhleez, puhleeez. Puhleeez..teach me something useful to cram in my head! I need to have enough qualifying experience before I graduate since I'm didn't take my education here in Manila (because Kuya J told me that most people who graduated here has a higher chance of getting hired).
Presently I narrowed down my prospects to three companies - one is a BPO, another is a multinational international computer company, and the last one is into banking.
However, I'll have to cross out BPO since it is too mainstream. Or maybe I'll just move it on the bottom of my list. That leaves the Computer Company and the Banking Company.
My colleagues, Anna, Maydee and Sir Rain, convinced me to submit my resume to the HR. "Sana ma-assign ka sa aming dep," said Maydee, "dahil maraming projects na ipapagawa si Sir Tim this year."
Uh-oh.
I gulped a mouthful of my lunch before asking something. "Okay lang po ba ako maging colleague niyo, offically?"
"Siyempre naman," she laughed.
Hear that? They like me! Baka mataas ang grades ko sa evaluation..ahheheh
"Try ko po mag-apply. ." I said, distracted.
But I'm not sure I could spend my entire life wearing formal shirts for work.
My head hurts from just thinking about this, my nerves are like taut cables, I keep adjusting my tie and checking if the crease on my pants are still there, noting that I should buy Kiwi to polish my dull shoes. Good thing my shirt isn't rumpled yet.
Things To Do:
★ buy airplane tickets (TOP PRIORITY)
★ check if my boss has finished "grading" me thru the evaluation
★ do NOT look what's inside the evaluation envelope
★ bring home evaluation sheet + internship certificate
★ finish writing entries for OJT journal
★ forward attendance log for this Jan to HR (TOP PRIORITY)
★ finish the d*mn paperwork (TOP PRIORITY)
★ buy new chinos
★ grocery
★ refill drinking water
★ pack-up
★ hook up
★ haircut (LOW PRIORITY)
★ DL's Sol's fave tracks and pics
★ meet the green-eyed monster (VERY LOW PRIORITY)Labels: career, do-and-figure-it-out-yourself, grown-ups, ken chua, lifestyle, priority, what if
