Calm Before the Storm

Worst, Kuya Popoy (my JVP area supervisor) described it as Calm before TSUNAMI!

I've been in the office since 915AM although I was asked to come at around 930AM. Well I've been in the area since 7AM since my sister's car's coding and I decided to bring it with me. Today is my first day in this new job. I'll be working as a Program Development Officer monitoring sustainability efforts, resource management and communcation for Bindum, Bukidnon. Bindum, by the way was my JVP area in 2001-2002. Bindum is my 2nd home.

No one was in the office yet. Pedro (Fr. Peter Walpole, SJ), my boss, was still in Pangasinan. Sylvia was still out too, although she arrived around 11AM. Pedro's new Assistant had nothing for me except to read the website of APC (Apu Palamguwan Center). Sadly I know and have read all of the articles there so it wasn't really much of a help. And APC was my JVP area, I know far more than the history it has in its website.

Pedro was supposed to arrive at 230PM so we can meet, with Chona the APC Program Manager. We were to discuss details of my job description and line up deliverables for atleast the next month. There is so much to do.

He hasn't arrived yet. We called Pedro around 1Pm and he was still in Tarlac, that's about 2 hours away from Manila, without traffic. So I sit here, in front of my office computer bored but expecting tons of work later. I don't like this stillness, it's too quiet - it is too calm. It's scary. Maybe Kuya Popoy is right, what's coming might not just be a storm, but a huge tsunami out to get me.

What did I get myself into?!
