Walang break time

I like this.

At SSS, there was this one official of SSS that was giving "like a speech" to those who are forever waiting to get their transactions done at the agency. He was rendering an apology to the group of people outside the office because not everybody can be accomodated all in one day. It was lunchtime & the sun was strikingly hot which makes the people more frustrated & cranky because they have to go back the next working day.

It was truly nice for this official to apologize to all. Then one lady asked, "Paano po yan break time na?" He answered, as if is he the president of SSS, "Wala pong break time dito. Bawal po ang break time!"

Wow. I hope all government agencies has this rule that there should be no interruption of transactions even if its lunchtimne. I know, they also need to eat and rest and puff a quick cigar, but why not do it alternately right? They dont really had to go on break all at the same time.

Unlike in Makati City Hall, we came to request a certified true copy of the marriage certificate (of Jon's parents). When we arrived, lights were all out (well, not all, but enough to cover those employees who are taking their breaks and catching a good lunch sleep.) It was 1230PM, and a lot of people are already waiting, probably starving & wanting to rest at home, but NO, they had to wait until 1PM to talk to somebody. I mean, what's wrong with taking their breaks at different times? It would not interrupt work right?

Try working in a call center. The work never stops. Its what you call shifting.

Anyway, there was no available paper to write on for me to put something in the suggestion box. Oh well, we'll be back there on the 23rd. Ill just bring my own. ;)
