It's not like I'm disappearing from this oh-so-screwed-up city, nor did I give up writing after I quit the Globe. I will post more entries here once I get used to working for a huge, and I mean, 60,000-employees huge, corporate. The most irritating part so far is:
1. The early working hour. I used to start working at 12 noon and go home at 7, but now it's my thumb on the scanner at 8 a.m., or else.
2. The restriction to access several Web sites, including this one. And so it explains the lack of updates.
3. The bureaucracy, so far, is driving me insane. You have to get an approval from the BOD for basically every thing. I'm surprised I don't need their approval to take a piss. Yeah, it's that bad.
But so far, I'm enjoying the challenges. Plus, it doesn't hurt to pretend like you're the managing editor for this widely known magazine, even though in my case, "widely known" is the said 60,000-ish employees.
So yeah, more updates later, pinky promise. Right now, keep your heads and belongings literally afloat, recharge your phone battery and have some snacks in your bags to prep yourself for the traffic and flood in our beloved city.
Hey, who knows, while waiting for the car in front of you to move, this could be the right time to start reading that book you've bought ages ago!
