unemployment is an unfortunate and depressing circumstance that can befall anyone in days where outsourcing is rampant, layoffs are looming, competition is high, and companies are looking at the “bottom line” more than ever. worse yet is the fight to find another job – and fast.
roughly 800,000 filipinos are in danger of losing their jobs this year, this is so because of the global crisis that affects everyone.
four of my co-workers just got removed from our rig crew, they were sent to our base camp in dammam this morning without any advance notice and i really am not sure what the personnel department will decide for them, either they get transferred to another rig or sent straight to the house. it’s just saddening.
i know it’s a no-no but i did took an anti-hypertensive pill without any doctor consultation. i do not recommend anyone to do this – but i just did. i have two boxes of atenolol 50mg in my rig clinic, actually it has been there sometime now, like since i started to work for this rig nearly three years ago. well i was too worried about my abnormally high blood pressure and it will take a lot of fuss of me going to the hospital. so i read carefully the product literature of this pill, the indications, dosaging and undesirable effects.
i took one yesterday after i woke up in the morning, i checked my blood pressure – 150/100, by mid-morning i checked again, it was 110/70 . . hooray! it worked! i was relieved.
so i closely monitor my blood pressure and found out that it has an average of 110/70. for now i’m going to take this medicine continuously – even if it was out of self-medication.
