Since mid-June, I’ve been asking about my “transfer” papers in the office, to which I get the reply: “sa admin, sa admin.”  Not wanting to be a prima donna about the matter, I became less persistent about my follow-ups.  However, last Friday, my officemate from HRET, who was transferred as I, already got her clearance sheet (to think that came all the way from the HR in QC).  Baffled, I finally inquired directly from the admin about my clearance (to think PET is part of SC).  I was told they no longer have it. After a series of calls, I finally traced the blasted paper in the Property Office.  It had been there since June 19 — almost a month ago already! Wha da?!  Arg talaga, no one even bothered to inform me about a certain glitch in said department despite me previously asking about my clearance sheet.  Today, I called the Property Office to make sure everything was ironed out already as I was told and to inquire na rin where my clearance sheet will go to next (so I can follow up from that office din).  The answer: they do not know as the person in-charge wasn’t around.  And so I asked around, customarily, where do clearance sheets go after the Property Office.  The collective reply: "I do not know."  To think, I’m not the first person in our office who ever underwent this kind of transfer.  Arg!  I’m at my wits’ end na talaga; ako na nga maglalakad ng papers ko, but no one can even point the proper direction I should take. 

Government bureaucracy at its purest form — in my very office, in our very institution!  Hay, trust no one to do something for others properly and with expediency.

Gawd, I wonder when I’d be over this whole “transfer” process?  It’s been almost two months! Yeah, obviously, I’m so pikon right now L.

Resolution:  guidance from Jove’s office….again!  I just can’t believe this!
