in preparation for april 30

its a good thing that a dose of  nyquil and dayquil managed to halt the flu that could've had me feeling sickly the whole week.  i was specially fortunate since i had to go to the office in faraway cavite today.  i was almost resigned not going today because maynilad hasn't restored our water supply when i chanced upon the 5-gallon mineral water jug we had and decided it was well worth it to use that as bath water (lol!).

the reality that i am counting down the days to my inevitable exit to this firm i have been part of for the last decade seems more real today.  we've discussed most of the really important things as to pay, retirement, benefits and clearances. i am quite happy that the big blue is also going the extra mile of providing us with career transition services.  there are a bunch of trainings that will be available (financial, entreprenerial, resume writing), other opportunities (for franchising, business ventures) and they even invited people from DOLE (department of labor & employment) and TESDA to tell us what their programs are.  There are also livelihood trainings (basic cooking, juice puree, basic pc troubleshooting, call center, etc etc) that you can sign-up for.  I should sign-up at TESDA for some massage training hahaha  its free anyway.

i realized though that with leaving comes an abundance of other responsibilities - like continuing to pay for your SSS, Pag-Ibig and Phil-health.  A bunch of legalities that i've had very little interest in to begin with.  this is the part of being a grown-up that i don't like but i have to learn.

april 30 is really lapit na.  i need to really jump start the job hunting soon.  i'll be able to breathe easier if i get a replacement job soon.
