day 3 (cubicle musings and barbaric fascinations …;=)
hmmm … i’m really getting the hang of this … cataloguing my (mis) adventures for the day! ;=) this is a good sign … a lot of adventures (or otherwise) means i have an exciting life! ;=) haha as if! ;=) well … relatively more exciting than when i was there in CV … i don’t mean i am having less fun there (haha … defensive!) … it’s just that the new experiences here is really getting to me! it’s a whole new routine and i’m loving it! ;=) <truth be told, and i did mention this several times to close friends … i was waiting for this trip to break my rather monotonous existence … and i guess it did! haha … one accomplishment checked!>
anywho … what’s so outstanding about this day? it’s my first day at work! didn’t have a cube yet … they put us in an ‘abandoned’ cube … hmmm … "put" was saying it nicely actually … i had to look for my own cube because the (not-so-efficient) admin didn’t even stand up to assist me when i introduced myself — really far cry from CV admins who arrange short of a chauffeur-driven limousine when US guests arrive! that’s Philippine hospitality for you! and well, American … er … independence?! ;=) it’s no biggie actually (i can look for my own cube fine!) but i just can’t seem to shake off the feeling that we go so overboard when we host them … reminiscent of Filipino colonial mentality or just plain superb Filipino hospitality? anyways, i guess no matter what it is … the nice things are the ones that stays and gets remembered and my counterpart remember it so well and he’s still at awe of the treatment we gave him when he visited CV!!! really plus points not just for Intel CV but for us Filipinos as well! (hmmm … i am getting more and more patriotic by the minute! … ;=)
what else was amazing about this day? hmmm … ah yeah, i saw an automatic paper towel dispenser in the restroom! ;=) hehe … there’s a sensor for the hands and the paper towel rolls out! ;=) hehehe amazing! pardon my barbaric fascination but it was not there 4 years ago … and defnitely not in the Philippines yet! ;=)
oh well … there … my day 3 musings and fascinations …
