Yes, I am the Officer on Duty this Sunday , July 24 .
It’s so hot today and I have just done my 3rd round at the mall area . Each time I come back to the office I am already filled with sweat . But that’s okay because at least , i lost some calories.
And the centralized air conditioner is off on such day , because there are just a few of us , in the skeletal force . Only electric fans.
I am thinking what day this week shall I offset this one day duty . Cannot be on a Monday , as the boss ordered us 13 officers who alternately does this duty on a Sunday.
Maybe on Friday , so my day off will be 3 days , Friday , Saturday and Sunday . I can do non-stop myLotting on Friday .
So , my next duty is after 12 Sundays again .
Good afternoon , everyone !

great, so enjoy 'malling' as well, while sweats form in your forehead.

@ridingbet I have that similar small battery that can't rotate . It's in my right front office table , very useful . And i also got another small desktop on top of my boss' table , steadied on my left front. So , i am comfortable at the office but not when doing rounds .

@SIMPLYD so, fan yourself and stay near the AC unit na. incidentally, have you seen that small electric fan where it seems to be the craze now.? this fan is powered by a double A battery.

@SIMPLYD sounds like a tiresome task to do on a Sunday.

@toniganzon Yes, specially that our mall isn't airconditioned on the lobbies /since they are open to the sea breeze. But on summer the breeze is hot too.

@SIMPLYD We went there last year , just drove by though,, I didn't know that there was a mall there.. Or maybe the driver told us but I forgot .. We'll definitely go there next time to have a meal..

Yes, we attend the mass since we are the ones organizing for it . And for me, i always read the first reading and responsorial psalm . it's my panata or promise. but the other officers don't do it. They let others do it .
Nowi am excited for the 3 days off.

Thank you . That's the view at the seaside part of the waterfont mall the office manages and owns . Yes, that's Mayon Volcano , the famous landmark of our province , Albay of the Bicol Region here in the Philippines . That one is an active volcano .
Wow, thank you for saying that i am getting younger everyday .
I guess when one is getting older , me at 56 already , a compliment like this is welcome.

@CRK109 Thank you . . Maybe because my officemates are so much younger than me , that's why i look also young , since that is a cropped picture of the picture i posted during our mall anniversary last July 15 .
About the volcano , that one is really beautiful - but dangerous .

Indeed , it's just after twelve Sundays . Besides , i enjoy the work , specially that the last one was supervising the preparation for the mass and attending it , being the reader for the first reading and responsorial psalm .
A nice way to end the day actually .

Actually , i was able to make my self comfortable at the office with two electric fans , one steadily fanning my left side of my face while the small one at my table , fans my right side of the face and upper body .
But i din't take a shower , just washed my face , because i didn't feel so hot already , because the trip on the jeepney took away all the heat in me , since it's open thus very windy.
