Originally, our posting at our head office at Fort Bonifacio was just supposed to go on for a month, from Sept. 1 to 28. However, we had gotten word that we were to be extended ‘until further notice’ on this posting. This was unwelcome news because apart from not receiving our ‘hazard pay’ (which is one of the benefits that we receive when we are posted on the field), I had already quite gotten used to our field schedule, which was entirely unlike the schedule at the head office with was on a regular 8 to 5 shift.
Oh well, when we transferred to our new department, we always knew there was that possibility of us being rotated and being posted in our head office. The only thing that bothered us was the ‘until further notice’ part as this sounded so vague, and who knew, we could be posted here for 6 months for all I know.
I am crossing my fingers that it doesn’t at all happen like that and that we would have a definite term, say until the end of October. Also, our date with destiny is fast approaching…October 11 is barely a month away…
sigh…
