It's Friday Baby!!!!!!

I have a Three day weekend. Next week it's Tuesday through Saturday. I'm gonna miss my Saturdays free. I've had them off for over four years now, but that's over with next6 week. So I'll be writing it's Sataturday baby for now on. It's not so bad, since I will have Sundays and Mondays off. Mondays are ROUGH. The people calling are so serious, that it's insane. I find myself wondering what the hell is going on. People and their bills, and the attempts to get credit for legit uses are amazing. It's some life.

I filed my taxes, and I'm so dissappointed. I had to get two jobs to cover my bills last year, and I didn't make it anywhere near borderline poverty level. When I filed taxes, the amout was so minimal. I was like that's so shitty. I'm still in the doghouse. I'm praying that the job change is for the better, since I'm making better (not perfect, but better) money.

Inspired to use pastells again. I can see the images in my mind. I will, if I can pick up some pastel paper, and I will break out the pastels. I need to draw. I need something to sooth my mind, and to keep me from thinking about the hectic pace of my job.

Listening to Fiona Apple. Her song "Love Ridden" to be exact. Her music's so sad. Should I be listening to that? Well it din't hurt. I don't feel bad.

Life is Cool

I'm resting after work. Playing Anima Crossing on Gamecube. There's this completion task to turn on the lighthouse before 10:00 PM. The mayor will deliver a gift if I di this for him. I want to know what the gift is, but to find out what the gift is I have to keep up with the lighthous 'till the end of the month (next week). I want to know the payoff, so I'll keep up with the lighthouse.

Work was fine today. I can say that the calls weren't so bad. I made it through the day wiout one irrate customer. I pray all my ddays are like that. When I was a Libray Assistant, I told my co-work, at least once a semester I got a patron from hell, and it was true. That person would be so irrational, and there was nothing I could do for that person.

Haven't seen a good movie in a while. Last movie was Balde Trinity. I was like, not enough Blade in the movie. I kinda hated the Dracula character. He wasn't as fun as Deacon Frost was , or Lomax for Blade 1 & 2. It wasn't a terrible movie, but I wanted to see more Blade, less secondary characters. Maybe I'll like it on DVD, if I rent it.

I am inspired to get back into my art. It seems my rut has broken, and I can now see the light at the end of the tunnell again. Thank God. i thought I was really under a nasty dry spell that would never lift.

New Shift About To Start

It's been a while since I last typed. I've been around of late. Ther'e been a lot to go on. I met an old friend last week, and we went out to dinner while catching up. I'm so proud of her, I loaned her my graphic design success book, and she's starting to make some progress. She's got her resume and web page all lined up like so good. I'm like I'm so like inspired. After I finally get myself grounded at Verison Wireless, I'd love to be enterprising like her. She's the bomb!!!

I filled out all my financial aid for grad school. I had to fill an additional form out, then lost the damn thing before I could stamp and mail it. During lunch yesterday I bought some stamps, and redid the form. I will mail it today.

Got a new cubicle at work, since my new shift stars next week. I've gotten better at calls. I have gotten some pissed off people, but I noticed that the reson they're pissed is because they've sp0oked with someone else, and that person promised to help the customer. Of course, by time they get to me, they're so upset, and I'm too nice. They tend to be rude, but some people let me know they're only fustrated by the process. Totally understandable.

Gotta go get ready for work, but I'm pleased to make another entry.

So I Bought Some Comics Today

I decided on my break to take a vist to Cap Lou's comics. Bought me some comics to read during my down time. WI got a few good ones JL Classified, Birds of Prey, Teen Titans (very unlike the cartoon), Fables, and a few I have yet to look over. I wanted something that was a mix of picture and story. Before I went to college I thought about becoming a writer of comics. Insted I became an artist, and don't get to follow my dreams much as I'd love to active in. I will be going to graduate school, so i do know I haven't given up on my creative side yet.

Being a customer service rep has become taxing at some point. I listen to so many people while about going over their minutes, and trying to deny it. I have people trying to commit fraud, and being called on it. That sucks a whole lot. It makes work a whole lot difficuly. Then I get this really cool person calling in wanting to have their concerns resolved. They so make my day worthwhile.

I did write some ideas down this week-end, so I havent given up on fiction writng alltogether. I love trying my hand at short stories. I need to work more on short stories. i want to convey a lot of experiences down. I wrote this cool story that a pal of mine told me that was so on the money about living in Charleston. She said she got a good vibe from the story. I need to work more towards giving a slice o0utta life.

Song for the night: "The Comfort Zone" by Vanessa Williams. It's a sultry tune I could listen to all night. That and I still have a crush on her.

Valentine's Day Makes Bad Customers

Lot of cranky people have called into the Cust care dept all cranky and stuff. Was it the actuall day. Althought I have said that Mondays are completely horrible to work on for cust care. People were anry, trying to bully reps and con their way into getting additional credts and shit. It got on my nerves a little, but I washed it off. J, another rep got cursed out because someone other than the account holder wanted info on the account. S, got a store rep giving her mad attitude. I kow another person was like cust care was getting too intense for her. I feel her pain, but I'm sticking with it until at least the fall semester whenGraduate classes start. I'm praying I do the right thing. I want to work some OT as well, so I can save the money. I'll do itty bitty hours too, so not to burn myself out.

New Night

Got off from work. Man, people love talking to me. I got an accomidation from someone today. I spend 40 mins on the line, I answered all her questions. Man it's mad work when you gotta help peeople. Some people went off the handle when they realized they went over they're mins. ROFL They made my day.

Another Day. My Mind's Is All About Music 2 Nite

Got my scheldiue for the next sis months. I got the 12-9 shift. Tuesday through Saturday. Not to tickled about the hours. I was trying to move away from this shift, but I suppose it's all for the good. Gotta mail in somE rebates, since my new phone bill looks like hell. ROFL. I saw that bill for three lines, and I knew it was going to be high as hell. DAMMIT!!!! Such is life.

Couldn't get the song "Soldier" utta my head for some time now. Sang the song at work, 'cause its stuck there. Listing to "Can't U See" by Total (their bast song IMHO). Love that song. Hope to sing that at work. Downloaded "1-2 Step" audio ringtone. I wanted the song, so now I have it.

Turkey Salad Day

I thoiught I wasn't going to cook today. To my surprise, I am LOL. I said I'd do turkey sald. I have soome leftover turke in the freezer. I decided that it was time to pull it out, thaw it, and get on top of a turkey salad. It should be low maintenece, however it's never that easy. I'm sure I'll have some moments pretty soon.

I find out my new shift tomorrow. I'm excited, but we shall see how this turns out. Gotta go.

Hello World

Today is another day to be happy. Work wasn't bad, and I feel rested. Of course, I'm chilling after work. Had to make a bid for the shift I wanted to work. I thought it would be more like pick these hours, but it was more like what hours DON"T I want to work. It felt backwards, particularly, since I had the impression that I would have my choice of times. I suppose that can be chalked up to experience. When I get the sscheldue, I'll let people know. I wouldn't mind Friday/Saturday off though.

Had a seesion with the boss of the place. People still seem to still hate training. I'm so over the training. I'm more interested in moving on. It's still a sore spot for many. I think people didn't care for the trainers at all. I think the curriculim was dry, but I digress.

Still, life is good.
