WFH

 

 

When you first heard of the set of “Work from Home”]

The first thing that will come to your mind is “wow, that’s so convenient!”

There is no other place like HOME. Therefore, working at a place where you are comfortable is efficient as most of the studies say. It is indeed convenient and suitable. Especially to those who have a family, a single parent, or a person who is taking care of a sick family member. To some, it is a privilege. A privilege to spend more time with their loved ones. To avoid the hassle of commuting. That is why that is one of the factors that most people are considering in applying for or accepting a job offer.

When the pandemic happened, to be honest, I was quite thrilled. Finally! I can work wearing only my pajamas. No need for me to wake up early, and fall in line to catch the first Bus trip. I can finally stay at home and take care of my brother who is sick at that time. I can prepare his meal, buy his medicine, and do household chores. Before, I can only water the plants on the weekends. It was a perfect setup for me.

That is what I thought. For at least the first 2 weeks… haha

Don’t get me wrong, everybody knows I am an Introvert. I like my space. I need my recharge time. I have no problem if I don’t go out of the house for a few days.

But I missed going to the office every day. I missed dressing up and putting on some makeup. I miss my morning routine with my co-workers. Chatting about the traffic, getting coffee or breakfast. I miss meeting people in the meeting room. Face to face. I miss the hugs and the gossip at the pantry! I miss giving high fives to the guys… little friendly punches… haha

I miss seeing my crush! Pretending to go to the bathroom just to catch him walking in the hallway. :D I miss the “kilig” feeling. I also miss having lunch with my boss. Korean barbecue at night and maybe a few drinks. hayy
