Beyond Bored

July 30, 2008 by Tina Lee 2 Comments

I don’t know what the hell is up with me lately. It seems that my boredom is getting worse and worse every fucking day. I’m thinking maybe this is one of those PMS-ing moment but I doubt it. I sort of know it has something do with my general dissatisfaction with how things are going but as usual, I have no clue on how to go fix the problem. I tried several times to put into writing what’s been bothering me exactly but the mind and the laziness clashed. It’s only now that I did some actual writing and did not quit halfway through another uninspiring post or did the whole re-posting-from-Multiply-blog shit.

Everyday is the same damn routine, it’s sickening. Go to the office, check e-mail, read blog, “do work stuff”, do other stuff, get bored, re-read blogs, get bored, try to write a post, get bored halfway through, try to lighten up, get bored, eat, get bored. I tell you, my life is one massive cloud brimming with nothing but boredom.

I knew it was just a matter of time before my mood would hyper speed down the shitter when a friend told me people from the office feels uncomfortable talking to me. You see, unlike the whole sunshine-y front I used back in Porno Land, here in Porn Wonderland I hardly ever utter a word to my fellow porn practitioners. In return, they make an effort not to fuck around with me.

The strange thing about all these is that I’m actually enjoying the fact that office peeps won’t talk to me. How weird is that? Back in Porno Land making small talks was like my expertise and now here in the Porn Wonderland, I have this persistent feeling of disdain toward other people which is something new to me because I live under the illusion that I’m friendly and nice, wehehehe!To stave boredom, I try to hang-out with friends after work but since a couple of them got a life, I’m left wandering into this boring and downright meaningless haze.

I do try my best to hang-out with other peeps but it’s not working out. Like last week, I was supposed to watch my friend perform and even That Boy invited himself because he knew I was coming. I was excited because he and I never really hung-out often but my laziness acted up and I ended up not going. And the day after that, I was supposed to meet with old friends from Porno Land but some people bailed out and I ended up not going again. It’s a damn cycle, I tell you.

Lemme just say that no, I’m not depressed about the whole I’m-Bored-With-My-Life-Halp! set-up, in fact, I’m getting used to it. But “getting used” to this kind of mediocre existence is a bad thing and I gotta do something about it.

Or. Maybe it’s just me getting old.

Weirdude Begins

July 25, 2008 by Tina Lee Leave a Comment

There’s this guy in the office who always gets picked on, his name is Weirdude. He is this really, really weird guy who smells funky and who acts like he’s a fucking retard. Mind you, people here in Porn Wonderland do not make a habit of alienating a person unless there’s a reason behind it, in this case, Weirdude made a pass on some guy way before we got employed. Did I mention he’s queer? Anyways, the moment he made a pass to this guy was the moment he kissed his peace and solitude good-bye.

I have nothing against this guy, in fact, I am the only person in the office who does not make fun of him. As much as these people have reasons to single out this guy, I pity him. I guess you could say, I used to know what he feels back in grade school when I was being bullied by two girls. Fucking cunts. I swear to God, if I ever saw any of those two bitches again, I will make them remember me.

But I digress. So yes, I pity him because personally, to me he strikes me as the kind of guy who looks for love in all the wrong places. He wears the same clothes for a couple of days without cleaning ’em, he smells like the bat cave a damp cave full of bat shit, he never flushes the toilet and he spends most of his time frequenting gay porn sites and gay forums.

So what bone do I have to pick with this dude? The fact that he’d rather flirt with random dudes than to actually spend his time in the office working. Granted, I myself have the habit to surf the net every now and then. However, I make sure all my work and my raket are done before I do anything else. It’s a matter of setting your priorities straight.

In the three years that I’ve spent on the rat race, I can say that I’ve never known anyone who’s as incompetent and as unprofessional as this guy and that’s saying a lot since I used to work for ABS-CBN. It’s appalling to think that this guy is getting paid 20 grand just to write short articles composed of nothing but grammatically-incorrect gibberish and using the office’s resources to hook up with homos.

There was a confrontation between Weirdude and I, it was last week. I saw it coming the minute I checked his “work” or lack thereof via FTP. We reported this guy to our PM a little over two weeks ago but so far, he was never apprehended. We took matters to our own hands for the sake of fairness. The plan was, I’ll talk to him first and I would report the problem to our supervisor if he still showed no improvement. The conversation we had is quite interesting. I took the liberty of recording our conversation so that if push comes to shove, I have valid evidence of his douchebaggery. The convo goes something like this:

Tina: Hey Weirdude

Weirdude: Yeah

Tina: We’re both doing Redo, right? I wanna ask you something.

Weirdude: Yeah

Tina: How come you’re only doing about 3 or 4 descriptions? (Note: The rest of the team are doing 12 descriptions each, everyday)

Weirdude: Yeah but the descriptions are longer and there are three keywords each.

Tina: Yeah I checked but there are times that a couple of my work are just as long too and I think it’s actually not good to drown descriptions with three or more KW nahahalata na fake ang descriptions that way, two will do.

Weirdude: Don’t know, we have our styles.

Tina: Hmmm… kasi I might have a talk to Sir S. about this not your work, but work in general.

Weirdude: Ok… whats your problem?

Tina: There shouldn’t be a problem if you’re to do the same number of descriptions that the rest of the team are doing, right?

Weirdude: Yeah I know better . It’s just descriptions. My advice is this, better just do as they please. Or else we run out of work. And then what do we do? Do u get my point?

Tina: Well thing is, there are a lot of videos on redo to work on so I don’t think we’ll run out of work and also, just as long as we are doing our work I don’t think we’ll have to worry about anything right?

Weirdude: Ok I already talk about that with him. This is what he said: ok communicate with each other as to the division of work so that there would be no duplications. So the best things for us is to work out which categories belong to the two of us. Work division.

Tina: Hmmmm… you know that the descriptions are actually written off as comments, right?

Weirdude: Yeah

Tina: That meant its actually okay for duplications because it’s posted as a comment, just my two cents

Weirdude: What cents? Sentiments?

Tina: :- | It meant two cents is In MY Opinion

Weirdude: Whats that ?

Tina: You don’t know what two cents means? I hope I don’t sound condescending and all if, I do, misunderstanding lang but is there any chance for you to make more descriptions

(No response from Weirdude for 5 minutes)

Tina: Okay then nice chatting with you.

As you can plainly see, Weirdude does not have any plans on improving his shitty work at all and he was even DEFENDING his incompetence. Gasp! Now, I really, really hate to confront this person simply because I hate having to put up with anyone’s bull. Well, that and I really feel sorry for him. However, there’s some things that should not be tolerated at all. We had no choice but to talk to our supervisor about this issue and a day later, Justice.

Anna-grams, Caricature and Such

July 22, 2008 by Tina Lee Leave a Comment

Boy, am I bored or what. For the lack of better things to do.. I’m re-posting my recent blog post over at my Multiply Blog.

Oowkaaaaay…. First off, NOPE, the first picture is not Zorayda, it is in fact, a caricature of me. Yeah, well, fuck you too. The ijot who made this caricature must’ve mistaken me for a horse which honestly, does nothing to make me feel better, pweh. And now that I mentioned it, what is up with that teeth? And the hair is all wrong!!! However, the major boobage, I find to be uncannily like my own boobies, BWAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!

Moving on, the second pic is another handiwork of Arse Scenic. For the benefit of the ijot sitting at the back, the pic above is an “Anna-gram” of my name. Spelled as Tina Lee and not Teenuh Li, like how most Iweb peeps spells out my name. Yes. You can imagine how many brain cells died inside this skull trying to figure out that schiz up.

Recently, I also began to exercise. Basically, the reason why I don’t do it is simply because I tend to bulk up real fast at an abnormally short time. To some gym rats, that’s practically like, the realization of their dream however, I sure as hell don’t have any plans on looking like Carrot Top. I was actually amused that my arms are looking more and more toned that I even bought an exercising contraption that tones the abs, which I love cuz like, I’ve got a rather soft tummy.

Another thing, I decided to start letting my hair grow long. Give me half a year and my Dyesebel dream is well within my reach.
