Decision To Make

Please help me out!

It's been quite a long time that I've been thinking about this maybe almost 5 years now, not so long? Well yeah 5 years is a long time but up to this moment I still can't decide on what to do about my career. Should I continue doing what I'm doing right now? Or should I go back to my previous job or profession?

To give you an idea for the people who don’t know me personally as of today I'm a CSA or a customer service agent in an outsourcing company better known as call center. Been with this business for 5 years was able to adjust to a past face environment and graveyard shift. Been living as if I’m part of Edward’s family since I am awake at night and I sleep in the morning and I hate seeing the sun feels as if it will burn me.

I’m use to this job that requires you to be a multi task person that’s why even if you are just sitting for 9 hours that’s 8 hours phone calls 1 hour break it felt like you’ve been in a marathon. The most exhausting part is getting challenging callers. You know callers that keeps on shouting and insisting what they believe if they are wrong. I can’t blame them because some people believe in the saying “customer is always right”. That is only if and if they fully understand their right as a customer, problem is most of them they know their right but they are not willing to respect the right of others. But why did I stay here for such a long time? Answer is, because it pays good compare to the other jobs available currently at least here in the Philippines. But I’m getting tired of it every single day the only reason I’m staying is because I have bills to pay and it’s hard to get new job with the current economic status.

I think I miss the old days when I used to teach children in school, salary is not much but the joy and fulfillment is priceless. As they always say money can’t buy happiness, peace, love and contentment. You can be the richest person but if you are not happy with what you are doing that’s useless. That’s what I feel right now, aside from the feeling that my intelligence already deteriorated.

I’ve planned before to go back to teaching but it’s hard and is getting harder especially now with all the challenges everyone faces financially.So what will I do now?Ahhh my head is aching and my heart is breaking.Oh my oh my I’m really confuse , will I choose money or happiness? Respect from my students or shout from paying customers?

I need your help my friends, what will you do if you were in my shoes?

Please post your comment needs it badly and urgently

That's a hard one but one has to do what they feel like doing and if your not happy the only one that can change that is you as know one person can tell you what to do as it's got to be what you want to do in your life. If it was me i would make myself happy but that's me.

Hmmn! really tough situation of your's. All i can say is just do what your heart say, & go for what you think you'll be happy. Like crisavey says, the only one can change it is you, for no one can really tell you what to do. God bless & take care! (",)

Single Blessedness or simply an “Old Maid”

--> Is this a choice or a destiny? Oh my! I’m turning 31 comes December 30, 2009 and I’m so single right this very moment. This will be the last year that I can see my age in the so called calendar. Why that is this calendar only contains 31 days? Well blame it to its maker, my body clock is also ticking I should conceive a child at least by age 30 as per my colleague so the child would be intelligent. But I’m turning 31 few days from now and I’m so damn single! How can I have a child then? Am I really worried about it? I guess I’m not, or should I worry about it? If I would assess myself I would say that I’m just starting to enjoy my life as single. I had so many things in the past that I had to do. Responsibility in Filipino culture so to say. I really did not enjoy any of my life’s stages be it in childhood, teenage years or being a young adult or young professional. But I won’t say I regret anything I’ve gone through or I’ve done in f...
