On Working In The Middle Of The Night.

How timely it is that I used such title for this entry.


I am still up, when I should be sleeping. Yes, I am sleepy but there's this sudden rush of adrenaline in my system that just won't go away. I've been online for more than an hour now. Doing research, basically. I just realized today in the office that I might have finally ran out of HR people to call. Or that I am just having another attack of procrastination. (Which, I know, is so not good for my job.)


Ok. I checked my planner (see, I'm using it) and found out that I have more than a dozen to call and send proposals to. And that's not enough for me. I need more. Literally hundreds. Because I can't stop this. I'm seeing something good out of this.


And that's what I need to cement in my brains. (Somebody stop me from ranting!)


Anyway, more than an hour into my research, I realized that Google has presented me with almost 1,170,000 results of job openings for Filipinos. And now I can't help wonder why there's still a lot of jobless people out there. Lazy, yes, I think I might be one of them (but I have a job). Picky... Hold it right there. Almost two million jobs out there (and not counting the ones that didn't make it online due to budget constraints), and you can't pick one? WTF man.


Seriously? You can't pick one? I'm barely twenty-two and have no idea what to do with my life but I suddenly had to fight this big urge of mine to apply for at least twenty different job openings out there that never in my wildest dreams did I imagined I would want to apply for today. (Because I realized that I looooooooove my job. Come on, does your boss let you view random job openings 24/7 and actually call up the HR people and get paid to do it? Didn't think so.)


I just don't get it. Getting a job interview is one click away, yet some people are too lazy, and inhumanly picky to do it. And this is just something I can't deal with. No, I abhor whatever attitude this people have towards working. Not that I'm the employee of the year or something, but is it really possible for someone not to find a single job out there that he'll really apply for? This is just too much for me to accept right now. Or probably for the rest of my life.


It's almost two in the morning. I now have a list of what seems like a line up of a battle for the best online job portal in the country, excluding Jobsdb, Jobstreet, and Jobmarket Online, of course. I think this will be enough to last me for the rest of the week.


I need to get busier. I need to remember that all of this will be for a good cause. I have to remind myself that this is my way of showing the increasing unemployed population of the country can find the job they'll like too.


Maybe I'll just look for one more contact number and then I'll sleep.
