the letter was sitting in my mailbox waiting for it to be sent out but it took me around six months to finally send it out to its intended recipient.
a year ago i worked graveyard shifts in a call center as a customer care representative. the pay was good but i lived kilometers away from my workplace. everyday i try to resolve issues from my customers mostly about their billing statement. so everyday i try to look for a free workstation, log in to my avaya, the chat room and other resources required by our BPO company. while listening to erring customers i was devastated because my marriage wasn’t working and my then 20 month old daughter got hospitalized not once but twice while i was with the same company. so after the end of the ‘bond period’ i decided to resign being a call girl to devote more time to my daughter and maybe save our marriage.
it must have been fate but that same month when it was really difficult for me to leave my daughter at midnight or at two AM to get to work, i got a call from the HR Manager of the company that I am in now. she asked me if i was still interested to join the company since she has my resume from a job fair summer of last year. i remembered her face when i was in the job fair. she approached me from then an unknown company booth. she first asked me if i was in I.T and i said no. i then asked her if there was an opening in their HR or Admin Dept. she said none as of the moment and that the company is expanding. she then asked for a copy of my resume and said that she will keep me in mind once there was an opening for the position that i was interested in. true to her word, i got a call from her around 5 months after. she interviewed me and i remember being teary eyed in the interview. that week my marriage was on the rocks and i my hubby betrayed me again. i was hoping to get the job so i could be beside my daughter when she sleeps at night and hoping that my hubby will change his ways if i work daytime.
i was offered the job at almost the same salary i was getting less the night differential and commission. truly God heard my prayers.
so here i am blogging about my resignation to the same company that i thought would save my marriage and give more time to my daughter.. maybe i was wrong, no matter what you do for a living, where you work and how much you earn–it does not save a marriage. my hubby is still the same liar that he is and we got separated for 3 months and 2 weeks. i liked what i was doing for a time mostly travel bookings but i loved the flexi time which enabled me to kiss my daughter goodbye when i leave for work until 3 months ago when management decided to introduce txt connect. gone was my flexi time, and there i was leaving my daughter early morning when she was still sleeping like a baby..she has grown so much in one year.
i am looking forward to a new career, be it a SAHM, a proprietress or maybe fulfilling my dream of becoming a teacher. i am looking forward to a new home, a new environment, maybe new playmates for my daughter. i am looking forward to really making this marriage work for the last time. i am looking forward to being the best mother that i can be to my beautiful daughter.
i am moving on…
