Stresssss

Edited: too much detail on something so public, haha!

They say that a little bit of excitement makes life interesting. If that were the case, mine had been VERY interesting today - even bordering on traumatic.

Background:
I'm currently doing my practicum. Unfortunately, wala akong kilala na ibang trainee sa work ko, only my bosses and the other employees. Well, being the instigators that my bosses are(haha!), they always take advantage of every opportunity to tease me. Teasing, I can handle. There was a time though when medyo nasobrahan. A female trainee came by our part of the room and had our boss sign something. Siyempre, he didn't waste time in saying, "Ay, [girl's name], kilala mo na ba yung trainee namin? This is mike. Mike, this is [girl's name]." Boss naman, na awkward tuloy ako! Hehe, di prepared. I felt like a fish out of water. I should've known he'd pull off something like that..
Yun nga, I don't know any of the other trainees in my department...
And so every lunchtime, I usually eat with the bosses....

Today:
Well, today was quite stressful. There was a new employee that arrived just this week. Just this week and already she's joining in on the fun of teasing me dahil wala akong kilala. Mas grabe pa nga siya humirit eh..Hello? I don't know you that long for you to start doing that. I don't mind opening up to people, but there are limits. Pakonti-konti lang sana.

You know what she did? We have a monthly meeting and this month, our team is hosting it. Today she said, "Mike, ikaw na bahala sa presentation ng mga trainees. Meet mo sila and organize mo." AND THEN when dumaan yung isang trainee, she told her, "[girl's name]! Tulungan mo nga si Mike sa pag organize ng trainee presentation. Mag partner kayo and magmeet kayo to discuss. Wala pang kilala si Mike sa ibang trainees eh." And then when umalis yung trainee, ma'am turns to me with a smirk and says, "o, kailan yung libre?" Waaaaaa! What was that abouuut? I felt like a fish out of water before. Now I felt like I was thrown into a roaring fire!

Siyempre ginagawan na nila ako ng issue diba?! >_<

This is not me. I almost had a nervous breakdown. I am not a people person. Tapos she wants me to organize a meeting with people I don't know? And she even tosses me in a proverbial lion's cage with people I don't know kahit names man lang?

Sobrang stressful.
