10-Minute Warning CLXXXI

Since I’m heading out to my safe space and have a caffeinated drink, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Firstly, let me rant for a while: In my current job as an admin assistant, I expect a lot of billings during the first week. I got used to working on those billings, but what I’m still not used to is checking a set of reports handwritten by one of our employees. His reports are fine… except that the way he writes the letter E looks like a fusion of the letters B and R, and that hurts my head every time. Ugh.

Anyway, what else? Oh… Lately, I noticed that whenever I listen to music on Spotify, sometimes it plays the perfect song or at least a line or two whenever I do something. For example, last Friday night, I heard the line “I took a sip from my devil’s cup” from Britney Spears’ “Toxic” (one of my favorite Britney Spears songs ever) when I took a sip from my favorite Jack & Coke Zero.

The music video of Britney Spears’ “Toxic”.

Since then, I have been calling the aforementioned drink “The Devil’s Cup”. Thanks, universe, Spotify, and Ms. Britney!

…and my 10 minutes are almost up. I need to go. See you in the next post, and have a nice week ahead!

30-Minute Warning XXVII

All right. What can I write here in under 30 minutes?

The end of May is nearing, and I’m almost dead set on buying a Samsung Galaxy S24+… almost. I mean, my current phone – a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G – works well after 3 years (and counting) of using it. Though Samsung has a sale ending on Friday, May 31, do I need a new phone now?

Then my indecision became worse when I told my Mother I was planning to buy a new phone and then she told me to save more money first. And because the S24+ is a bit pricey, my Mother is right. I should save more money first and then buy what I want. (Though I have enough money to start paying in installments.)

Should I buy a new phone at all? I still have May 30 and 31, so wish me luck.

As for what happened today: This morning, a boss from a major client wanted to have the service reports from January to April 2024, so from 11am to 5pm, I scanned and emailed more than 200 documents. I found a way to sort, compress, and send all the reports, but… 200+ papers? Good grief. And that’s just for 2 cities. Tomorrow I still need to scan 200 more, and I also need to accommodate a Zoom meeting at 2:30pm. Wish me luck on that one as well.

And that’s it. That is all.

10-Minute Warning XCIV

I had a productive day today. Notably, I finished all the billings for November 2023. I just need to print those billings out and photocopy some reports tomorrow.

After that, I walked and jogged around Three Trees from 8 to 9pm. It has been almost 2 weeks since the last time I was at a jogging path. After walking and jogging for an hour, I met with my Younger Brother and we walked some more while we talked about our favorite food and drinks.

What else? Oh! Simbang Gabi starts this weekend, and I’m planning to attend the anticipated Masses instead of going to the actual Masses at 2am. Wish me luck!
