Somber Playground.

Yesterday, after over a month since I resigned from work, I went back to Intelligraph Corporation in Ortigas to receive my back pay.  I didn’t go there alone, I was with May. (Apart from being a college friend, she is also my former officemate.  She resigned a month earlier than I did.)  

When we got into the office, I noticed that the atmosphere has changed… totally!  From a jovial energetic playground, it has evolved into… a workplace.  Just a workplace.  Or even worse.  I don’t know.  I can’t really tell since I stayed there—and was only able to look around—for about 20 minutes or so.  All I know is that among the evident changes I noticed in there are the decreasing number of workforce and the increasing number of empty cubicles.
 

You see, even before May and I left our respective jobs in Intelligraph, there are several regular employees who had already resigned, which most probably brought about a ripple effect on so many other employees.  (Why we quit, you may ask.  Let’s just say that there are numerous internal office problems, specifically, administrative ones.)  Now, with lesser staff and new faces, I find the office gloomy.  It’s as if everyone who is working in there is a robot.  I just find it funny and absurd that I felt outlandish in the place that was once a second home to me.

      Just a few of my cool ole work buddies.  Only three of the nine are left in the office.
