A(H1N1) Certified

With my days in Quality Control, the word certified after an alphanumeric thingy means that something is following a standard: ISO22000:2005 certified, HACCP certified, Halal certified, and the like. It also means that something is safe and clean.

However, if someone is A(H1N1) certified, that is bad.

I think I'm A(H1N1) certified. At least I think so. I didn't bother taking the test. I didn't want to know the result.

Sunday. Night. Sore throat and a little cough.

Monday. The work load gave me a whole lot of sweat not to mention me walking under the sun. Sweaty. When I got on the train, the cabin was cold. After I got off the train, rain came. Sudden change in weather.

Tuesday. It's the last day of the quarter. I had to finish all my work load. Gotta work. Same thing; sun, rain. Night time. Fever galore. Colds and bad sneezing. Each sneeze gave me excruciating pain all over my body.

Wednesday. I took the day off because my body's aching bad. Running nose. A slight fever. It was a DVD marathon all day.

Thursday. Good thing it's a holiday. I still have the body aches, a wee bit of colds, and a wee bit of fever. Yes. DVD marathon.

Friday. I feel better. Still coughing off some phlegm. I know, eew!

Saturday. At long last. It's over. At least I think so.

Sunday. I can go outside and roam around town now. But not just yet. I still need to rest. It's like my body is used to the sleeping and lying down.

Monday. Back to work. A couple of my co-workers came to work all hyped up. After the day was done, both of them were sniffing and sneezing. Am I still carrying the potent virus? I wond

I may not be A(H1N1) certified but the symptoms says that I was… or by my co-workers' conditions, I am. Good for me, after the onslaught, I am now immune.

Slowest Fast Food Service... Ever

Monday. I feel sick as hell since the night before but I need to finish my field work before the month ends. The sun and heat isn't very good for someone with headaches and a little fever. All the sweat didn't help either.

After checking one warehouse in the morning, I decided to take a lunch break before going to the next one. From Sta. Ana, I went to UN Avenue and had my lunch at Chow King at Masagana Superstore. I ordered Pork Chow Fan with toppings and large iced tea. I took my number and looked for someplace to sit. I found a place and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited.

More than ten minutes have passed. Longer than the usual waiting period. I could see that everyone else in the store was irritated with the very slow service. At last my Chow Fan came. But wait, the topping isn't there but I started eating because I was already hungry. Not to mention my iced tea wasn't served, yet. I had to eat slowly so as not to finish my rice before the toppings, and iced tea get to me.

I've already finished three quarters of my Chow Fan when my iced tea came but no toppings in sight. I've had slow service before but this was too much. I have finished my Chow Fan and half finished with my tea when the toppings came.

That was the slowest service I had ever had. It wasn't just me, the folks at the table beside mine was there before I came and they got their order after I had finished. I know it was lunch time and there were a lot of orders to fill plus Chow King isn't really a fast food chain but slow is still slow. This is supposed to be the time when they are fast.

Chowking UN Avenue at Masagana Superstore has the slowest service I have ever experienced.
