i've been hearing about the buzz since last year and was hoping it wouldn't happen but i just confirmed it this week:
our Filipino consultant has resigned from our project.
i was rather sad because for a short time we've worked together during his visits to Iloilo i learned alot from him, academically and 'philosophically'.
i was also sad because i would have to face the japs all by myself now, without a fellow breed who could understand the idiosyncracies that his fellow Filipino have.
I engaged in this project hoping to understand better the career that i'd like to specialize in in the future...but all i constantly learn are the hardships of being a "secretary" and am constantly frustrated by the protocols of the government partners.
I am missing the kind of environment i had working as a staff to my professors in the university (except for the last one, but she wasn't human so it is understandable). I easily understood the quirks of the university people; their being normally abnormal. in the government, everyone wants to be normally normal so they all want to stick with the protocols despite the irrationality and inconvenience it would bring...everything is okay so long as they stick to the paper works and the "textbook" polity.
hay ambot.
well. we are young and we still have a lot to do to change society.
AND I DON"T WANT TO BE A WORKER FOREVER.
