From Consultant to Specialist
February 28, 2005 · Posted in Mike's Blog
First, I worked as a consultant.
Now, they asked me to work on a regular basis - that is 5 days a
week. So, they no longer call me “I.T. Consultant” but “I.T.
Specialist”. Truth is this, if I were to have a staff under me,
then they would have called me “I.T. Manager” but that’s a long shot
for now - at least for this company.

Now, what are the differences? Well, more
work. More obligations. More stuff to do. The pay
remains the same (for now they say), but at least I’m getting a regular
income for my family. The great part is this - they allowed me to
do my business in the office which means I can still sell my web
hosting, develop websites, and even use the company’s internet and
phone equipment to contact my clients. Not bad huh?What else? I have my uniform now. (This is the first job
where I get to wear a set of uniforms). Beige for Monday, blue
for Tuesday, Grey for Wednesday, Green for Thursday, and anything goes
on Friday. It’s a “barong” type uniform and is very comfortable
to wear.

And lastly, the company’s president (who also happens to be my
godfather) lives in Lagro which is about 30 minutes away from my
home. When it’s time to go home, all I do is join him in his
car. He then drops me by a gas station where I can take a
jeepney. That’s a P15 savings per day.
