My hands are already starting to tingle because of the copy-paste I am doing. I can be called an SEO specialist but right now, all I am doing is link building and there’s not much on the decision-making part. See, I need to do something that does not require me to think. That’s why I’m focusing on link building right now. Tomorrow, maybe more on analysis or something like that.

It has been over a month of being employed after the retrenchment. When I started out last August, our schedule was from 9pm to 6am. That was a good schedule if you ask me. Anyway, since our bosses are in the US, we really need to work at night because that would be the time that they are also awake. And so just recently, we have been requested that we go to work at 11pm. And that means we get out at 8am. Now this shift is getting to me really. Since this shift started, I had started to feel really sleepy while at work.

My problem though is that I can’t sleep when I am at work. I could close my eyes but each time I hear somebody passing at my back, I would immediately be brought back to reality. Plus, I just cannot sleep sitting down. I’ll always go for sleeping with my back flat.

At first, this night shift is pretty okay with me. But as time is passing by, it is starting to get to me. And I think I do need to think if this is really for me. I don’t want to sacrifice my health. And come to think of it, we’re not getting any benefits here. We do get the whole amount though – no deductions. But we would be the ones to pay for our dues with Philhealth, SSS, Pag-ibig, and the whole lot. And yeah, no medical insurance as well.

So there. I do need a good job. Like a good government job. At least, I’ll have security of tenure. And also so I could use my Civil Service eligibility. I’m still looking at what opportunities await me here in Legazpi City (if there are) and I know that I could not rely on my freelance writing and SEO gigs nor rely on jobs without contracts. I have a son and I need something stable. Come to think of it, maybe I just need to find and marry a good guy who’s got plenty of really good money (so I don’t have to work). Now that’s wishful thinking. Haha.

I really need to think things over. And so for now, I stick with this job and do the best that I could do. After all, things could change and we could get a morning shift *crossing fingers now*. I hope. I really hope. Hope with me, will ya?
