June Sweat With Pride Challenge Completed


***
Had a session with my Coach at our local gym yesterday. Phone stopped recording at the time he said a little more and I've achieved my goal. In reality it was frustrating but chose to show him a Mother Teresa quote off Google instead and decided to just laugh it off. In vernacular, told him that our training is probably similar to that famous quote about loving until it no longer hurts, most probably, I'd need to practice more and improve until I've reached a point of mastery (where everything is second nature, muscle memory and the seemingly painful becomes basic just like how master chefs have most probably been scalded, cut and overcome kitchen accidents numerous times).

*We had several yesterday because it is blended learning day but the standout one is: 
P: Am already at page 320 of this book (Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow). 
T: (ignores me)
P: This line sounds interesting.
T: Some authors just use fancy words to make the book longer.

Last night Gramma wanted to call her aunt in Washington State. 
As she always needs assistance in using her non-smart phone, B assisted her to dial international and I also assisted in the sideline with regards to the directions of the voice mail (Press 1 to record message...) and answering T's questions as to how am I familiar with Time Zone difference. 

T: How do you know about that? 
P(in my most patient voice/attempt at lowering tone since it is past our bedtime): I've worked in several call centers in the past. In every call center training* there is Time Zone familiarization especially if the agents are to handle an account based in the States. BPOs hire Filipinos because they are often best in customer service and better English speakers while the _______ are better techs. 
T: (blah, blah, blah)
P: Time to sleep.

*No matter where you go, 90 plus percent of the time there is/are required trainings and exams one has to pass before you become an agent and take calls --- US Time Zone and even US State abbreviations and pronunciations are always part and parcel of the training**

Even after I graduated with honors in Ateneo de Naga University , still had my first job in a Manila based call center (having no companies hire someone with a Political Science degree and considering the ease of getting paid a _______ salary with loads of benefits). 

Never interested to work for the government or run for a position be part of the political hierarchy/spectrum except the basic unit of society which is: FAMILY.
