How does it feel to be a vampire?

My schedule is pretty much of a vampire. But as opposed to a vampire's schedule, I was able to see the sunrise and love the sun's rays touching my face early in the morning. I now work in a call center as what's written on my previous posts. I go to work around 2 am, log in to my work station at 3, take calls till 12 pm (with yosi breaks), drink and eat with my buddies till 3, sleep at 4, and then go to work again the next day. I never imagined that I'll enjoy this type of work. At first it was exhausting, but as I have gained friends in the workplace, I now can't wait to go to work everyday. As my team leader advised us, any type of job, no matter how exciting it seems to be (you can be a doctor or an events organizer), there will come a time that everything you do is only a repetitive action. You will always come to a point of saturation and satiation. Try to find ways to enjoy work, find motivation for you to go to work everyday. The actions are the same, the difference is on how you embrace it.
I love going to work everyday because of my new-found friends. I go to work early so that we could be seated next to each other. We just joke around even if the customers calling us are really irate. They make taking calls easy. After work, we always find time to sit and talk, in tapa king, pancake, or box ' rice, on how the day went. Laugh at those customers who acted smart but dumb in real life. This month will be the fifth month evaluation for us in the Evolution Team. Some will be term'ed for not passing the metrices in our scorecards and some will be deployed to different teams. We will have different schedules and there's a big chance that we will not see each other that often. No matter how much I don't want to think about it, I should, to keep myself ready of the things that may happen for the coming months. I'll miss them definitely. Once it happens, it will be an effort for me to find new friends. Haay... i hope that what i anticipated won't happen. It is like having a blankie which was taken away from you at the age of puberty and you have no choice but to go on with life. Like what Tinie says, you should learn how to be alone without feeling lonely.
