My resignation has nothing to do with any quarter life crisis. When I turned in that loveletter to R’love, she went, “Anything to change your mind?” I couldn’t answer because all I could think about was going back to my apartment and getting a shower. Naturally, that question was followed by, “What are you doing then in the next few months?” I told her to ask me what I’ll be doing later and I can answer in a heartbeat. How people can answer that question is beyond me. I’ve probably reached the zenith of this career to hold up the red flag but I can’t tell what I’ll be doing next. Eezatbahd? Y like dutt? 
This soon-to-be-ex-PS-employee started talking smack about probably staying in Cagayan de Oro for a while, let them think about something but in reality I cannot leave Cebu. I love Cebu and my parents cannot understand it. I’ve always wanted to be a Cebu citizen and to make a mock of the absurdity, my friend Mai just had to LHAO. I’ll marry a [pronounce it with the same liaison as Cebuano] whoever-ano and be chained here for the rest of my life. I’m staying. Prolly look for work elsewhere. Anything that can keep me in Cebu. Flirting with jobs is a draining affair. You have to pimp yourself again and you can’t even bring the job home!
After May 26, I don’t give a hoot anymore to PeopleSupport! Woot! I can do whatever I want before I get committed to something. I am going to miss the people there and the attachment I have with them — the kind of post-coital attachment you have after hooking up, familiar? Still, change is always positive and a new job will generate the impetus for a Season Three.
Working as a professional now is so so when the real money’s at the internet. You may be educated to have a series of letters after your name but where is the money? Work because you want meaning? [insert animation of a person sticking out tongue] As someone who believes in the practical way of life, I’d rather learn how to make money that learn a course that I wanted just because.
My friends chewed me in for the fact that all I ever do is go online when they really don’t know is that I am learning a lot. You can not imagine the culture present and how much money you can actually earn. The call center industry is just in time for business booming – online! The internet! Advertising! Commerce is spelled with an E before it. Everything online costs – per click, per action, per promotion, and per advertisement. Sell Text Link Ads. Host web polls. RSS Advertising. Congested, ennit? I just wished that all courses – medical, education, or language should incorporate at least one subject dedicated to business so that I wouldn’t be such an ignoramous.
My goodbye spam letter to everyone is still under way and it’s peoplesupport tradition that whenever someone resigns, a letter will be sent to all in one time and people would be up on their stations and going, “Where is she? She’s leaving?” Ahh.. Papansin talaga. Lol.
Sometimes I just wanted to not really work. 
I wanted a course where they train you to be a housewife — is there? Hey, its more meaningful to build a home than merge companies. But that’s another story.

Well said! If I could write like this I would be well happy. The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Net. Keep on keeping on

It’s good that you have a pseudo-contingency plan. Although it’d have been better if you resigned when you already have another job offer. BUT WAIT! Your resignation isn’t effective until the 26th? So yeah, let’s home come the Monday after that, you’re back in business.
