Working on a Graveyard Shift

That is the last thing I would prefer for a job - working on a graveyard shift. I know the sacrifices I have to make, and those were the things I would never give up in exchange of a good paying job. No offense to those whose jobs required to have such work shift.

But a month ago, due to unavoidable circumstances, I am forced to work on a graveyard shift (9PM to 6AM). I have to say 'yes' for that will only last for a month for knowledge transfer since the persons whom I'll be working with were all based in New York. Well, I could have lessen the shift for a week if only I agree on a temporary onshore assignment. But I know my priorities, so even if it means being able to be in 'The Big Apple' for three (3) months, I said 'no'.

Marikina gent sets NBA Pop-A-Shot scoring record

Just like Ricardo Reyes, the Filipino busboy-You Tube sensation from Los Angeles who beat NBA superstars in the arcade game of Pop-A-Shot, Raul De Leon of Marikina City has turned out to be the man to beat in the ongoing Coors Light NBA Pop-A-Shot Tournament 2011 in Manila over the weekend.

De Leon, 49, who works at a pest control agency, set a local Pop-A-Shot record high of 563 at the second leg of the 2011 Coors NBA Pop-A-Shot competition at Blue Onion Bar in Eastwood, Libis, Quezon City last weekend. The score is the highest in this year’s tournament so far, and even higher than last year’s Coors Light NBA Pop-A-Shot championship score of 457.
