Yesterday was supposed to be a day of fun for most of us. To celebrate Halloween, one of our teammates suggested that we come to the office wearing costumes of high school stereotypes. We also planned to have a buffet dinner after.
I decided to come as a rocker/punk with my leather jacket. Some of our plans changed when we decided to have videoke at Red Box instead but that was fine with me even if I already made reservations prior to arriving at the office. I hope they won't blacklist me for not showing up.
I'm glad that I didn't have work on that day so I could join in on the fun. Plus, the office was having problems with the electricity so it would have been such a terrible day to work.
There were 10 of us who were able to go. We bought a gift for our colleague who was celebrating her birthday then had dinner at Papa John's in Greenbelt 3 before getting wild at Red Box.It was actually my first time there even though I've wanted to try it for quite some time. The price per head is quite expensive but it's a good thing that it was a payday so I had money to spend.
After most of us left, some of us decided to go to the condo of another colleague which was near the area. We bought some drinks at a convenience store and spent the rest of the night drinking and bonding.
It was a bittersweet moment as it might be one of the rare or last times that we'll get to do it again.
Another one of my closest friends at work was told that he wouldn't get regularized. That quite sucks as we were all surprised by the sudden decision. We didn't have time to prepare and now there is a huge void to fill in at the office. We already have existing problems with manpower and it's about to get worse.
But aside from that, I just can't explain why all of the people I'm close to at the office is leaving one by one. I can't help but think that there's a problem with me.
