It's a New Day, Gotta Love It.

I decided to have an open mind when I took calls today. It didnt work out. It really bothered me that people were trying to give me a hard time. Most of the people were cool. They just had problems that I could help with, but there were a couple that kept me on the line longer than I cared to.

Also, I noticed that some of the crew was being made to take calls after their shift. I'm like WTF???? That's not cool. Of curse the person I was talking to lasted over 30 mins. I was ready to knaw my own arm off to get away, but she kept on whinning. Lord, sometimes you just gotta suck it up and run with it.

I need to start exercising. A simple bike ride will do. It may keep me sane.

Mom's Outta The Hospital!!!!

Thank God Mom's able to come home from the hospiutal. I was so worried about her. The hours at my job kept me from visiting her at the hospital. My brothers had a little more leeway to vist her. Also, lots of other people were trying to visit her. It got to be a circus. After speaking with mom today, she said it was overwhelming to have so many people visit her at once. She was in pain, or on meds. I ran interference today. I made sure everybody knew she was sleeping. She did need her rest.

Custmer service is something of a hoot. Some people are really bastards when they call up. All I can think about is maybe I need to get into another department. LOL. Sometimes I don't like being treated like a doormat. Some of the people were cool though. All they want is to go over their bill. Some people are cool with the questions. I made some people laugh, and some people were pissed. I take it in stride.

Got both my parents cell phones. Let's hope they get used to them. Told mom she has unlim nights and week ends, so she can call her sisters and speak to them, without affecting her airtime mins. Tomorrow I visit my dad, and add numbers to his contact list, and show him how to operate the phone. I wanted to purchase Vanessa Williams' new CD. I'll wait till the next week.

Hello, It's Me Again.

I'm here, though I get busy, I always come back to the blogg. Sad news of sorts. My moms in the hospital. She's staying there for a few days while the doctors figure out what's wrong with her. Talked to her earlier. She seems to be ok, so Im not too worried. I hope she gets better. When she gets home, I'll have to make sure she's ok.

My bro seems to be neglecting his puppy. He left the poor pooch alone for some time. I played with her some, and I felt bad for her. Unlike my cat, who craves individuality, puppies wants lots of attention. He's being insensitve to his pet's needs. Hopefully this will change. I don't want to think he's being a jerk about his pup.

Work's ok. Being in cust care can be daunting at times. My communication skills went up though. ROFL.

Hey Stacy, Just What Is A Blogg

I got that question several times. My mom asked. I told her that its where I used to write and publish all sorts of nasty comments about co-workers, and my life. She siad be careful. Typcal mom comment. A few frinds asked about the blogg, some I've played off. There's nothing worese than nosy peeps trying to see what's going on with me.

Rented Author, & I-Robot for the week-end. Both movies are far better than I was led to belive they were. Thought I'd share that. Also saw Troy (bought that one). It was equally great. I loved that movie. Other than that, I need to get back to my Game Cube and start beating that X-Men game I have. It's quite addictive.

I Got A New Work Hours....

...And boy is my internal clock off. I have 12-9 hours. It really gets surreal, and I have yet to adjust. I liked working from 8-5, now I have this new shceldue to work with. When I get home I don't even check my messages. Bear with me I gotta get my bearings. I just got used to the old schldue, and I was able to go online, and at least answer and view messages. Now I get home and I want to rest.

Started taking calls this week. It's pretty much as I expectede. You have highs and lows. I seem to be getting people who want their bills explained. Not a problem. I love helping people. Irrate people aren't the worse, as I though. I simply move onto the next customer. I don't want to hold onto the anger. I still have a lot of things toi learn, but that's to be expected. Things will be even better.

Dinner and Some Friends

Last night I went out to dinner with some friends. When went to a jJapanese resturant. I had a devil of a time finding the place. Ironicly, I passed it a couple of times, thinking the way was someewhere else. Left my home early, so I could get there on time. Thank God I did, or I woulod have been late, late, late. Boy was I stuffed. I got so much food. it's a great thing though.

Today I'm making lasang and some salad. I will start the food soon, so i won't be online much sooner. I had to get my entry in though.

Got myself so on sale games for my GameCube. Finally bought Zelda, Sands of Time, and Lord of The Rings. I l;ove adventure games, so I'm in heaven. I'll have to make the time for the games later this evening. Enjoying them so far.

Check Out the Luna Brothers

The Luna Brothers are the creators of a really cool comic book called Ultra. Ultra, for those not in the know is the story of a super hero who's been told she will meet her true love in 7 days. What seperates this comic from all the other super hero books I've read is that the creators (The Lunas) have made a smart, funny, and sexy comic that treats its female characters with some realness to them. There are also some cool magazine cover parodies. It's a class act. Check out their website. The brothers are cool.

Customer Service Rep I Am

If I curse the day I became a Cust Service Rep, I know it's time to hang it up. Today is not that day. Took calls again. Got mostly good people who want their service taken care of in a good manner. That's ok. Someone was pissed he didn't have access to someone else's account. Handled him with some dignity, and care. After all, the hostility is not personal, and even if it was, I ain't taking that mess home with me.

Became obcessed with a '90 CGI cartoon called "Beast Wars." I need to complete the collection, since the seasons are on DVD. Got the 2nd Season for $19.99. Not bad, eh? I looked the DVD's up on Amazon. They were at least thirty bucks. Checked today, and the price lowered some. I'm pleased with that.

Will pick up my year supply of contacts tomorrow. I get a nice rebate with the total package. Deal for me!!!!!

Love my mobile phone. Still getting used to it. Love the text message feature. I could use that all darn day. LOL.

I Answered Phones Today

As a customer rep in training, I finally got to answer the phones (for an hour). I was very nervous. It was exciting though. LOL I could answer all the questions. I'm getting excited. Hopefully I'll do more answering. I'm glad I got that first call over. ROFL. I felt like I'd get it all wrong, which wasn't true Life at work is great.

Continuing to send pics via e-mail to my brother. He took some didgital images, and downloaded them to my laptop. Now I sending them to him. He's enjoying them so far. Lotsa Christmas pics. Not bad at all. I'm getting off the computer now, 'cause I've been on one all day, but I did want to write on my Blogg, and now I have!

Try This New Artist

I recently bought After Hours by Rassahn Patterson. It's his third CD. He's such a great talent. Very soulful and talented. I would also reccoment his other two CD's; Rasaahn Patterson, and Love In Stereo. Good for all those who want to hear quality in their R&B music. Check him out.

That's my two cents on good music.

I GOT INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL!!!!!!!

Alright. I got accepted into SCAD (Savannah College of Art of Design). I am so happy. This is a totally grat day for me. I also completed my training at Verizon Wireles. Now I am able to be a cool customer rep.

Told a lot of my friends about my acceptance. I feel great. I keep saying that. I feel all giddy.

Delivering Goods

I sent some pics vial e-mail to one of my sibs. He threw a party, so I resized the digital images (to reduce the file size), and sent them to him.

My stomach growls, as it needs to be feed. Leftover Pizza for breakfast. I reheat it these days to avoid indigestion. Rember the old college days. Popcorn for breakfast, chips and soday. You don't reheat pizza. LOL That's so done with.

My cat threw up. I don't know why, but I think he over ate. He was hungry an hour later. I gave him a little food. he handled it fine. He's not sick, just greedy.

I Joined the 21st Century, Sort Of

I finally bought a cellular phone. Its an LG V7000. It took me a while to figure out how the damn thing works, and I can't activate it until Monday, which won't be so bad. It's funny, I learned all these new software programs (QuarkExpress, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc, but adding numbers in cell phone was a challenge. LOL I'll get over that. This phone can take picks, and short movie clips (15 seconds worth). TXT messaging, and mobile web. I went all out, eh. LOL

The cool part is now I can call my friends whenever I want to, when I'm out. I'm happy with my choice.

Gojabber is down this weekend, so no forum hopping. I do some other places to visit.

It's a New Day, and My Sinus Woes Have Gone Away (for now)

Thank God my sinus pains have gone away. It was a shrewed combonation of medicines, and some fresh air. I'm going to have to purchase an air filter for my room, and some now storage containers.

My bro brought a puppy, and its not working out so well. The puppy wants to eat my cat's food, and it pees and poos all over the place. I'm a little miffed about these little puddles in the hallway. Bro's gotta watch this pup. He claimed the pup was a temp visit, but I have a feeling that the pup's here to stay.

Class went well today. I was happy when my sinus cleared. We studied prorates. I got lost in the methods. I so need a step by step demonstrates basis.

Watching Law & Order now. Love that show. I'm so sad Jerry Orbach passed. His character Lenny was one of my favorites. Hard to beleive he's gone. TV charaters can be a part of our lives as much as my cat, or family.

Can't wait to see "Alais" tonight. Why'd they wait so long to bring the series back on. My other brother suggests that Jennifer Garner was busy filming Electra (don't know if I'll see that yet-its giving me that Catwoman vibe). Not a bad theory.

Tomorrow its more prorates, and testing, and headachhes. I did make some new frinds today so its all good. Also, a few frinds I thought were no longer talking to me spoke, so I'm happy for that. Perhaps I can chalk it up to miscommunication.

I Caught A Cold

Ha, taking my vitamins and trying to secure myself away from all that coughing didn't work much. It's rather obnoxious that I now started coughing. This sucks, as colds often get me in a fowl mood. I can't go to training like this. It makes me uncomfortable. I hate coughing in a large room full of people. It makes me feel like I'm spreading germs.

I saw one of my cousins yesterday. Hadn't seen him in almost like 10 years. He's grown and married now. I remember when he was a little boy. My how times have changed. My cousin told me he and his wife are expecting. Good for them. Another youngster for me to spoil and give back to the parents after IU've played with them. LOL It's on nice to be the cousin and uncle to the little ones.

I'm sleepy. May get some more soup. I want to eat something, and soup does it for me when I'm ill. I'm praying I get over it soon.
