My Indulgence
There people who loves to sleep until noon. But me I love to wake up at dawn because I love to watch the sky changes it’s color. From black to dark blue with streaks of red, orange and yellow because of the sun rising then to light blue. I also love the smell of early morning breeze and how cool it feels on my face. I also feel at peace during this time for all that you could hear are the chirping of the birds and the crows of the roosters from I don’t know where unlike at noon when all you hear are the roar of the machines and some people quarreling. Before when my work starts at 8AM I would usually wake up at 6AM and sit in our balcony to watch the birds fly, watch the sky change it’s color and feel the breeze of early dawn. Hay… How I miss the breeze of the early morning breeze. This is one of the things that I don’t like in working for the call center industry.
You spend dawn inside a building instead of spending it in your balcony with a cup of hot drink. And you spend the nights working instead of sleeping. You sleep in the morning and miss a lot of things that had happened. You also spend the holidays in the office rather than spend it with your love ones. But then again, there are no other industries who is as diverse like the call center industry. Companies don’t judge you by the course that you took in school. They don’t judge you by who knows you or who you know. They judge you by your capabilities and your attitude towards your job. That’s why I’m sticking around in this industry for a while. So what I do know is I stand by a window in the office to watch the skies.
Go home as soon as I can after the end of my shift so that I can get out of the building to feel the breeze of fresh air. I also wake up at 4AM during my rest days to listen to the sound of early dawn. I’ll do this until I can get out of this industry and do what I love to do.
