A Dozen

We went to our school/agency this afternoon to barrage our queries and doubts regarding our status of employment. We bombarded them with dozens of questions. If we still have any chance in a very tough competition wherein the rules are against us. If we still have any chance to belong to a list. It came to our knowledge that time that what the employer requires now is at least 26 years of age and has 3 years of work experience. How in this world can we comply with that? And the reason why we persevered with this is because we know that there’s no work experience required. The employer has really been inconsistent and we just hope that they'll change their minds and that their inconsistency will somehow benefit us as well. We do hope that a better employer will come. We do pray that the right employer for us will come.

To fill our thoughts with something else and to fill our stomachs as well, we decided to eat. Somebody’s craving for some donuts so to Dunkin we went. It should have been the usual – 5 munchkins and drinks for 35 pesos. But the lady in the counter said that they have a promo – a dozen munchkins and drinks for an additional peso. We were overwhelmed by the load and hurriedly munched on them. But halfway through the dozen, the sweetness started to numb our taste buds. But I still managed though to consume all of them.

I just hope that I can gobble down my troubles just like those Munchkins. But well, c'est la vie! Life can sometimes be like a box of Munchkins...
