Appartment Hunting

Went to Savannah, Ga this week, looking 4 a place to call my own. I found a great place with a great price, that is close to the malls and grocery stores. I love this place!!!!! I am sooo excited. I'm also nervous. my fisrt place of my own. Oh my God, away from my family. I am nervous, but I ain't changing my mind though.

My bro and pops think I should be in the city, but I'm like I want something outside of the city, which I settled on. I've been laying low, so I didn't post a thing. Still tired. I had to post this.

Stacy's Day: So Blah, Blah, Blah

Another day. Calls came in. Some interestingly bland calls. So many calls. A very moody supervisor getting on my damn nerves. He knows I got another week left. Why is he up at my desk pissing me off. Oh, my God, then he pissed the whole team off. They were like off the chain pissed. it went from being angry to being funny. We got silly for a moment, then it was back to the biz. I am gonna miss my team, 'cause they are the shit. Best stats around. I guess our stats weren't as good as he would have liked them today. Whatever. The day is DONE. ROFL

Tomorrow is my absolute LAST Saturday at this job. Praise the Lord.

Oh, I had this cool self pix I took and played with via Photoshop. I so look like my father.

Shameless Blog Pimpin'

11/27/06 The People In Our Lives

I thought it would be another day, as I spend some quality time with my family. I thought about going home a little earlier, as to get all my home affairs in order. Gotta TCB 24/7. I did manage to get a handle on a couple of outstanding situations, which has me praising the Lord. I can’t live with the sense that things are getting under my skin. I prayed for a way to handle my issues, and I got what I asked for.

Had lunch with my good friend Z today. It was good to see her. She looks fantastic! She is usually busy, so I am glad we got that moment. I wish we could hang out more, but we live in two different states. The commute would be some mad wear and tear. Its still great to connect.

Took a brief look in a bookstore, but I didn’t buy a thing. No money anyways for new things. I do enjoy browsing sometimes. I pray for me to master my finances, and become more proactive in my life. It’s going to take some time, but I am positive prayer and meditation will help me become a better man.

People Tripping

Hey,

Another fun filled day in the life of your roving customer service rep. Why, when I went to the restroom there were poeple using the toilet and their cell phones? I know I complained about the customer's on the toilet call, but people so casusal about where they use a phone. Even if they were sitting and talking only. You're in a public bathroom. OMG get out. Yuck! Who wants their moment recorder like that.

Speaking of customers, there are some interesting calls. Not to encourage anyone, but calls about your phone being "tapped" or your apt being "bugged" don't get called by calling the phone company. Call the local authorities. OMG Some things people call about. it's wore than when the kids get the phone and call cust service.

That's the day in a nutshell.

Extraodinary Machine & Libra

Listening to Fiona Apple's new CD. It's cool. She's a singer/songwriter. Her msuic is is very piano driven. I have her other CD's. Nice change of pace.



Also bought Libra by Toni Braxton. Toni's got that sexy voice. Makes me want to listen. Love the new material. Nothing as good as her Secrets CD, but good nonetheless.

PDA's and stuff

I thought about purchasing a new PDA. One of the cooler faster ones. I went 2 the Palm site 2 ck them out. It's neat 2 look at. I have an old Handspring, that I think I will keep. My phone seems to do the same thing as far as numbers and notes. Does it matter? To visit the site U can click the title. Its on the backburner these days.

Visit Palm’s Site

Steppin Stone

As one great people said to me, my current job is a stepping stone to the next job. It is not a black hole of nothininess that sucks the life out of me, but rather a transition. Thank God I can see that now. LOL. One can easily despair over the foolishiness one goes through in a day. Life is more deeper than that. I have bounced back. I have even rose to the challenge. Do you know, my statistics is high in the call center, and on top of that my team has some of the best stats in the call center. Gotta know it wasn't all evil. I did learn some people don't want a solution. They want to vent.

Needless to say, its nothing personal I'm taking, but I got to get from under the pressure. It's nice to know, though, I'm leaving with success than with defeat.

Special thanks to everyone who supported me, and listened to me rant. LOL R U guys my cust service? ROFL

Best wishes.

Friends and Drama II

I had this friend, who acted as if she could not tie a shoe without permission. We used to work together. We talked about aspring things, like dreams and goals. Life was ok. Drama was all over the place, but we remained cool. Of course, I let my guard down, and we talked a lot. I also loved having someonne to relate to. Things were fine.

I left that job. It was done, I was in debt, and needed to get from under that shadow. Even thought we didn't see each other on a daily basis, we still talked. E-mails, week-end calls. We were still cool.

Then something odd happened. My emails were not being returned. My messages must have been deleted from her VM. What happened? I may never know the deal on that, but A friend told me there's monkey biz going on at the old haunt with foolishness to go around for everyone. Somebody's all in the drama.

Great News Today

Hello all,

Today is my biirthday. I am soooo happy!!!!! I took some allegy meds and I am so drousy. I can't drive yet. Want to make myself a b-day dinner. Steak and shrimp. Yes, I deserve it. I'm that good. ;-)

Oh, my other fanstastic news. I'm moving to Savannah, GA. I got a new job as a Library Assisstant. Will tell you more as time permits. Gotta ride out the effects of this meds.

Work To Do

Can't say much. Hate to tease, but I have something exciting in the works. Will post this adventure after its complete. Needless to say I am excited!!!!

I tried for another position at my place of work. got turned down. No interview. Damn. I'm so like rejected LOL On the bright side the job sucks right? I would not be happy just the same no? LOL That's my save.

No sooner did my two drama pals star beefing, this rumor goes around about who's sleeping whith whom. I was like I don't want to hear any more. This shit is expanding in the worst way. Already dealing with 2 faced friends. No need for rumors (That could be a story title).

Friends and Drama

Hello All,

This entry is about me trying top call an old friend. This friend and I worked together for a while. I showered her all that there was to learn at the workplace, and even gave up a spot so she could get what she needed as far as hours. I thought she was cool.

Imagine my surprise when I tried to call and email this person, that for weeks I got no response. At first, I thought she was busy, but then another friend emailed me to let me know this friend was on another planet. She turned on some people. I’m like that can’t be. When I was working with her, she didn’t know left from right. Now her shit don’t stink?

Well, now my calls don’t get returned or emails. What the hell?

I digress… I’m so darn busy. One less person to call and catch up with.

I did learn 2 day that two other friends are feuding 'cause one spread some nasty rumors about the other. I feel like I'm about to hit into another drama zone.

I Am Watching CSI:Miami

I am soooo enjoying my day off. I wanted to write something though. Finished my homework yesterday. I have the whole day today to myself. I am sooooo pleased.

I played video games, and treated myself to stawberry ice cream with walnuts. Me feel great.

I still feel like.

Nintendogs

Oh, my goodness. I think this game is so neat!!! I want to try it. It's for the Nintendo DS. I've been peeping the site. It looks like total hours of pleasure. For those looking. The title is hyperlinked. Take a visit. Makes me want a puppy. I'm kinda partial to the pug, but they look like great dogs. Slightly off the beat of video games, but that can be fun too.

Today

Me tired... Me go to bed. LOL I need the rest.

Chill On My Day Off

Classes start this Wednesday. Back to the grind and work. Will work harder with time management so I can get shit done proper, and not freak out at the last minute, like I've done before.

Have some more of my novel to write. betta do as much as possible, becasue I will be devoting major time to classes.

Addicted to...

Animal Crossing. Simulation game. You keep up with your house, you neighbors, and the town. if you do a good job your town stays full of peeps. I love this game. Won't give it up.

Another Day In The Life Of...

One can only hold their head up as they receive weird calls. A customer called in yesterday, and wanted to change his price plan to new promotional prices, only not have his contact affected. That's not possible. On top of that he needed to pay his bill. He fussed and fussed when he couldn't have his way. I wanted to get him a pacifier and a bottle of formula. Then he started with the four letter words, and there was no helping him. He had to get that out of his system. He called me a loser. It was my last call of the night. I had to laugh. It was so funny. I didn't take him personal, but he for sure went off on me. ROFL

Treated myself to Chinese food for the night. Went out for ice dream. I should have gotten something with cherries in the ice cream. Instead I got strawberry cheesecake. Chunks of cheesecake with the ice cream. I felt sooooo good. ROFL Forgot about the verbal attack. LOL

Tried to catch a few friends, but they weren't available. Chilled for the rest of the night. Today is a calm, cool day. Gotta go write some more on my novel.

Game Obcession Confession

I have been playing Baten Kaitos for some time now. These RPG's have stolen my attention. Good game. It got my mind off of other things going on. Love games like that. I all geeked out on RPG's now. LOL

Learning 2Use Garage Band Software

This is so cool. I have been toying around with Garage Band. I've created three songs! They are these cool club beat songs thatworked on. It was out of fun that I created these songs, b ut now I have something to preoccupy myself, along with all the other things I do (As if I were not busy). It's a creative high, even if I'm making the songs for my own pleasue.

Things Not To Do When You Call People

Not that you shouldn't call customer service when you have an issue, but for goodness sake please don't call while you are using the bathroom. There is a reason you close your door in the first place. Nobody wants to hear what you are doinging in there. Don't care about that. if you're taking a bath, I don't want to hear that. If you are using the toilet, I don't want to hear that eaither. NASTY.

Dinner Is Served

Made rigtone pasta with spagetti sauce and meatballs. Family says the meatballs are very spicy. Didn't think they were. learned that sveral family members have different cooking preferences. I'm the spicy cook. My bro likes to cook food on the sweet side. Mom is very southern/homestyle.

Work, Work, Work...and Rest

Yesterday was a mess. I walked into work and peeps were like where were you? I'm like it's time to work. They said they got to come in early. That's not possible. I asked to come in early. Damn sup said its not possible this week, and I have to work my full shift. What. I was there for an hour longer. That's bullshit. I was so pissed. Why the hell did he tell me no if other people did and could. Pure set up. Of course he wasn't there for me to talk to about this shit. I'm letting this go....just this once.

New Blog is Born

It was an odd day of long-winded conversations. Wendnesday is talk day. Now tonight is sleep night. Gotta love the nights.

Started new blog, Have Faith. I can send pix from my mobile phone. How cool that is!!!!! Check it out regulars. :-)

What's I'm Listening To These Days

I'm listening to Amerie's "Touch" CD. I love the CD. Good beats and songs. I got my money's worth. I have a friend who can't stand Amerie. It's so funny. I didn't know this 'till I used a song of hers for a ringback tone. Every time I play the Cd I think of my friend. It makes me laugh.

I got complements from customers today. Not all calls I get are bad. LOL I have to admit some people are a pleasure to speak with. I'm willing to go an extra mile for those customers.

About to go to bed. Need to iron my clothes, but I might do that tomorrow.

Home Improvement

Been thinking of changing the blog, or at least starting a new one that focuses on my hobbies. In a way to seperate my online journal from a hobbie I can go into depth with. The Catwoman pics are fun to find (for some reason I could not find a good Eartha Kitt image-One about the size og the Pfifer and Berry pix).

Anyways I'd write in depth about comics, movies, video games. The things that may get a mention here, but not to much detail. Gotta write a plan out though.

As for this blog, I will post more pix. I love doing that. it makes it worthwhile.

I did find this ultra cool pix of Selena Kyle, the comic book Catwoman, drawn by Adam Hughes. The man renders lines like nobody's business.

Having A Catwoman Fettsh

This is Bad, in a good way. Michelle Pfifer played Catwoman in Batman Returns. She did good. Loved her. She was kinda creepy, but sexy.

Working On My Novel This Week End

Hello all,

Been typing the novel. Most of what i wrote was handwritten, and quite frankly, I go tired of saying I was going to do it, and after sevral false starts, I am putting my efforts into typing it out. Several pages are typed up. It will more than likely the end of the year when I feel I have done something. If I do my three pages a week, like I am supposed to, I'll get somewhere.

It's a sci-fi/fantasy type novel. I want to keep it up. otherwiose this store will stay in my head forever. It needs to be relased. Wish me luck all. Luck and paitence. It takes a lot to get things done proper. I'll keep you guys up on the progress.

Let's Keep A Cat Theme Going

Catwoman was on last night. I liked it. I had heard so many bad bad things about the film. At first I thought it was bad, and ignored it. I saw it last night, and I thought that my assesment was completely wrong. First, its not a deep movie, and you won't walk away from it thinking deep. It is a fun fil, that entertained me for the moment. of course its Halle Berry. I'm like totaly crushing on her. I'm so in love.

Call me Halle. ROFL

Good Day @ Work

It's the Maxwell pictures. After I posted them I felt better. Things started working poositive. Maybe I needed to talk about Max. After all he left as I was getting into my nerw job. I know some people think talking about your pets are silly, but they more than likely never had a pet. This pix is my absolute fave pix of my. I love to see this one. My Mom says seeing pix of Max makes her sad, but it makes me feel good.

More Maxwell Pictures

Here's another pix of Max. I feel better posting them. He's irreplacable.

That's My Maxwell

I was going through some of my photos, and ran acrossa few pics of my cat, Maxwell. I miss my cat, so what better way to remember him by positng the image of him. IMyh cat was crazy. He was moody, wild, and could not stand visitors to come to the house without his permission. All vistors got scutinzed and looked over. Bad ass cat. LOL I miss ya Max.

Oddly, when I have dreams about him, it always like he was hiding under the table all this time. LOL Wouldn't that be nice.

Diamonds Are Forever

The song is in my head. I can't stop singing it. LOL Diamonds are forever. I wish I could afford some ROFL. If I could I would smile every day!

Such is life. Went to work early today. It meant I go off early. I LOVED that. It wasn't bad. I was happy to leave, but it was more like I did my job, I can go now feel good. Soothed my busy day with a really large slush from Sonics. Didn't feel like licquor, so slush is good.

Called home after work to see what the family wanted for dinner. No one answered the phone. text my brothers. One responded, he was cool. The other didn't. When i got home my mom and bro were home. I'm like why didn't y'all answere the phone. I got a {"didd't recognise the number (translation: I was busy with other things I din't ck the phone). I wasn't going out again. I ate my burger and tater tots in peace. Been chillin the rest of the evening.

Tomorrow I'm capping off some projects. Gotta love classes.

Calling It A Night

Another rough day. Calls back to back. Came home with another headache. Made sure to take vitamins today. I needed that strenght. Forget work though. The nights are mine.

I want to relax and forget all wooes. I can do that. I can just chill. No big whoops today. Gotta lay off the sweet tea. I'm sure my kidneys will thank me for that. It's like the poor man's licquor. I drink it like it's doing something for me. other than taste it ain't doing much.

Such Is Life

Isn't that life. The more I do, the more work appears. Have some finals to finalize. Work has been bearable, Promised myself that no matter what I wouln't let it get to me. This came just in time as we were SWAMPED with calls. Over 100 calls happening. I'm like, who'se ideas was that? I got a major headache. On top of that the incompetant schelduing peeps removed my team's lunch. We were like what the hell. Betta get that lunch back on the schedule. I don't wanna raise some holy hell up in here. I gotta walk pass that place every day too. ROFL. I can see pees cutting their eye at me for a while I caused a ruckus. All eneded well there.

Rude people called into today. More rude than usual. Truly, some should get back on the meds. So many assholes concentrated on the line in a given day. A stink place to be. ;-) ROFL Ah, the septic tank of dealings. I have hit a low. To the negative peeps with the potty mouths and shitty attitudes, I pour some Lysol on you nasty ass and flush you out of my mind. I suddenlty feel 50 pounds lighter

There were some fantastic people who called. Truly angels who made my day. Gotta love them. They made the day go better. Love that feeling. I so love to help peeps who want help. It makes the day go faster.

Boss complained about productive time. It turned irritating when he complained about this again, again, and again. It was ok ONCE. I heard you dude. Can we move on? I'm like I know you want us at a super high point (my time is usually above the requiremnts), but slow down hero, I need to put notes on the account before I move on. Did a lot of looking over stuff, corrections to issues and troubleshooting of equipment.

A good friend of mine is gong to college to get her BA. So proud of her!!!!!! Get your education on J. Love ya!!!!! That makes my month. I love news like this.

I noticed I stop doing fiction writing. I need to fall back into the writing. I love writing (duh, I run a blogg-LOL). As if I'm not busy enough. Such is life.

Oh, Mariah Carey's "Shake It Off" is the best song to hear after work. I try to go with the flow and shake it all off. It has become my mantra. Thanks to Mariah for making my nights go well. I feel all krunk when I hear it, and forget the woes.

Dinner and A Smile

Yesterday My Mom treated the family to dinner at Red Lobster. i insited on having a lobsterita. My Mom wasn't fussy about it as she usally is (sign of the times-she never changes). Well we have a good time. I should have ate breakfaskt, because by time to food came around I wasn't too hungry. Took most of the food with me home. I capped that drink off though. ROFL. I felt so good. I fogot my troubles. That was one big assed drink. Didn't expect that much, but I loved what I got.

I kno0w I have been negative with posts, because of a series of letdowns, but something GREAT happened yesterday. It's worth documenting on my blogg. This is a great thing. Thbought I'd share that too.

It's A brand New Day

Hello All,

Working away on projects, and need to take a quick break. I have so much to do. I like working projects. they can be hard as hell, but I get into it, and work on it until i can't anymore. I love placining energy into something productive.

Working on my things keep me from focusing on bad things. I feel much better. Talked with a friend yesterday about the job. She was lauging because I said I was praying for balance in my work. We exchange texts from time to time, and my signature wen't from saying "Be Happy" to "Have Faith." I changed it a couple of months ago because I wanted a good change. I did want the ginature to say something worth while. She told me that I was going for the "strong stuff." ROFL. I was like I do need something stronger. She reminded me that things have alreadey been workd out, it will unfold at the right time. Talk about security.

Listening to "Soldier" by Destiny's Child. Nice beat. I don't need a soldier, so I end up saying I need a soda. Food references and me. Where it's at where its at. ROFL!!! I gotta laugh and keep my spirits up high. Silliness helps too.

How Drama Never Leaves Me, I Doth Confess

Hello all,

Good Lord. I thought I I was on the new path with getting my old job back at a higher price. Was I WRONG. Oh, they interviewed me, and I don't know why. The job went to someone else. I never had a chance. Suspiciously I think some people stopped talking to me too. I think someone put out the Hater-Aid. All green eyed flavor. Forget that. Forget haters. I placed applications at other places that are non-old job specific, and offered more money. I hope that means there's a window of opportunity out there for me.

Trying to rest my nerves. The current job makes me so mad. Sometimes I really hate my job. I won't give them any more thought after this sentance.

Not Going Under

Hello all,

I am sooo tired. I am stressed. I've been putting applications into other places so I can get from under a high stress job. One job where I knew people, and they were talking to me like they were interested went out with a fizz. I have to laugh. I had a feeling something about the interview wasn't sincere. I'm on to the next application.

I have MUCH work to do concerning my classes. I am having a super tough semester since I have not given my classes the time they truly need. At this point I am highly upset and fustrated over the process. I want to devote the proper time to my classes. It bothers me that i don't have that time. With the stress cust services is putting on me, I feel a little low at this point.

Promised myself that I would have to suffer through this semester/quarter. it may be a bad semester, but I will get through it. Also it is one semester, out of the many I will have. I am praying that I am able to move into a position where I feel like I can manage things. otherwise I'm heading for a nervous breakdown. I feel like everything's on me. I have to establish lots of control. But control doesn't mean I will have everything I want, just some of the things I need. Control means accessing my life. I will survive!!!!!!!!

That and I know good things are on the way. I desire to break free of my surroundings. I will be free of all forces that restrains me.

Knee Deep In Work

Gotta get those grades up. I feel like I'm not up to par. Somehow I'm a complete mess. Felt like I was going under the pressure of my job and my classes.

Will post more after I do this weeks reading, and now back to work on my projects.

My Outter Geek Is Showing

I thought I was at least normal, whatever that means. I went and bought two new games for my Game Cube. I looked for the bargains, the ones on sale for 19.99. What did I scope out? What did I buy? Two RPG games. I have never liked RPG games, but that Lord of The Rings, Third Age game looked so cool in the store. I've been playing this damn thing up unto the wee hours of the morning. I love this game. That's the 2nd RPG that's gotten me hooked. What happened?!!!!!

On top of that, I had some tell me don't foget the new Zelda game is comming out. ROFL. I still have to get the fist Zelda game for game cube. More RPG adventure. Not that my game selections have been what's "in." I love Mario Kart, Metroid, Beyond Good and Evil, and Prince of Persia is real cool. I want to try Resident Evil, but the damn controls are so f**ked up I get fustrated before I start.

I'm gonna try the Splinter Cell type games my brothers rave about. I don't know, I love trying new stuff. I just found myself in a D & D world, when I thought I wasn't there. It could be worse, I could know all the characters in the game, their HP and AP levels, and all that other Sh*t I don't pay attention to while playing. I am so haphazard.

It's About Time I Posted Some New Material

It's been a crazy week with a lot of hustle. took a few days off to satisfy myself, and get a lot of work done that's non-job related. May have some good news to post, but I don't want to jump ahead of the wagon. Needless to say I will post on Monday if I feel the news is good.

Garage getting fixed. It was cleaned out last week, and now its like finally getting the attention it deserves. It's being torn doen now. I should take pics. Remind me to post pics of when our house was being worked on.

This reminds me, I know cell phones are good, but there used to be a time when people couldn't find me so easily. LOL Now I got friends calling me, and some want major favors. The reason I have laid low was like love quiet, relaxing days off. I suppose convience is a double edge sword. Gotta love celluar phones.

Another Good Day

I suppose I can call today a victory. Wnet to work did my job, and felt good. There were a couple of piss pissy customers, but I'm like whatever. I'm not hear for you to ruin my day. let it go.

Anybody remember Jane Child? She had a hit in the early 90's "I Don't Want To Fall In Love." I heard the cd back then. it was ok. I like some of the songs. Wonder if she still does music.

Been A long Week-End

Let me start by saying I was swmaped with a heavy workload. I'm on a new team at work, and my new supervisor is VERY rigid. So rigid, it's abrasive. I'm trying to sort out my own feeings towards him. He's not evil, just too seriious. I'm like take the stick out. ROFL. I doubt he will.

Have lots of work to do for class. Did as much as possible tonight. I'm praying I did everything. I may have to take one class a semester. i feel like my plate is so full. I don't need work stress making me feel like I'm out of sorts.

Cleamed my garage yesterday. let me tell you, that was one filthy garage. It had so much junk in there. I threw away nearly everything that wasn't nessary. You can say our garage is bare naked now. The damn thing has minimal items now. My brothers helped a hell of a lot. We did this together. I'd still be cleaning if it was still me. My mom wasn't there, but she came back and told us what we should have not thrown away. We could have used that info BEFORE we threw it away. She had been going on for months about how we should clean the thing up. She didn't indicate she wanted anything out of there, and the moment we put it on the curb, she wanted it. I couldn't belive her. We moved a couple of heavy ass things back. Garrage still looks good.

Today i was suppose to do my assignments. After the garage experience I had a bad migrane. Couldn't do the work proper. I tried to do it all today. my family kept interrupting me, like I'm not supposed to do my work. I got into a little argument. It was like, hey I need to get this stuff done. if it doesn't I fail grad school. Which one of y'all is gonna pay my $100,000 salary I'm looking forward to AFTER? I graduate. ROFL

.....nobody volunteered

Old School Music

Downloaded "Midas Touch" from Midnight Star (from iTunes-I paid for it dammit-to all those worried about illegal music). I am so in heaven. Nothing beats a good R & B song. I just want to dance, and forget my worries. That's what music can do for me, at least. Been waiting for a good feelgood moment that didn't involve my job, or other people, just my thing, my night. I'm loving the moment.

Night Time/Bed Time

Work was blah today. I had this feeling that I was not as productive as I could be. I'm so pissed, such a waste of day. Got a low grade on aq project. I hate low grades. Gotta hit the books, and that means going to bed earlier, getting up, and get my lesson on. I did want to blog something. Now I have.

Been picking a friend up and taking her home for work. It's been cool. Noce long drive. She's a sweetheart, so I didn't mind.

Gotta get some ish done before Friday, otherwise I'll have 2 call it a wash. I've gotten so flaky this week. I'm like a pie crst with the flake. Gotta shake that off. I'm having an ADD week. Gotta calm myself down.

Caught Up With a Friend

Met an old friend. He just graduated from grad school. Oh, he's so lucky. He's going to teach. Good man. I have not the paitence (or so I say for teaching). I'd wish him luck, but he doesn't need it. He'll succeed. I have all the confidace that he'll make it. he's thinking abouth his PH. D. OMG that's a lotta schooling. The academic seeting is such a wonder and gives you a kind of energy that you can't get elsewhere.

Road Trip In the Works

I feel a road trip comming on. You gotta love that feeling. LOL I am about to head someplace exciting (meaning different than the norm). Nothing bad will happen. I won't get a tattoo (I hope). I just feel that urge to do something out of my comfort zone. The tattoo would cover the outside, but I need not go that far. LOL I am so square to be an artist. I'm not cool or hip at all. ROFL

What I am, is my own person. That's better thanbeing cool anyday. Besides being cool is overrated. You have to make sure your just as edgier as you were 5 mins ago. How fun is that (waaay fun from from what I see!). Anyways my self-depretiation moment is over. I gotto go do things, like my assignments.

This is a new day

I'm just chilling. Feeling overwhelmed by grad classes, work, and my social life. I'm so ditching the socal aspects of my life. I'm gonna be a hermit. I really need to keep my eye on grad school, because I was not made to be a cust service rep for all of my life. I have decided to devote tomorrow to education.

I have some pics to deliver to a friend, and some other things to ramble on about, that I'd rather do than speak about.

Tried a basil spring roll today. Different. It had a spicy peanut sauce. It was ok. Don't know if I'd try it again. Needs meat in it. ROFL.

Learned 2 day that someone's losing their home, but they seem to not want to save their place. They may have already given up. Definately not good. I'm trying to reserve judgement, since bad news is so crushing. Losing a home is AWFUL. Oddly this is the second person I know who is losing their place. A lot of this has to do with financal irresponsibilty. Again, not trying to be a smart ass, but some things need to be dealt with ASAP.

Classes began Monday

Forgive my silence. Classes began, and I have homework to work on. I get so preoccupied.

Met some old friends, and they were cool. Saw batman Begins. OMG, it was so good I forgot that there were two dus of movies with the name Batman tied to them. LOL. Summer means sci-fi fantasy movies. Gonn a get a lot of them in. Fantastic Four and War of the World's is next on my list.

Paid so many bills this month. It's insane. at least they are out of my hairl. Gotta love that.

Entertaining???

Saw Star Wars not too long ago. I wasn't wowed. I wasn't anything. I felt like it was ok. I wasn't feeling anything deep. It was tragic that Anakin turned, but I knew he was anyways. He murdered the Jedi, but that was known too. I just felt the story could have been tighter, better. Why the hell was Chewbacca there anyways. That note of him playing a "signifigant role" was overblown. Not that this is an all bash entry. I liked the FX. Some of the characters looked cool. Poor Count Dukoo. Just like Sauraman, Christopher Lee got another itty bitty role in the last of the trilogy. NOTE TO DIRECTORS: Stop killing Lee. He's so cool LOL

Want to see Batman. Will go tomorrow. I also have some other things to do, like prep for classes. Life is good.

Didn't Get The Promotion

I want to say "damn," I didn't get the promotion, but after the last post I'd say I was lying, HARD!!!! I was robbed!!!! ROFL. Maybe I'll finish out the year at the job, then move on. I don't know. I'd like to work at the job longer, but that's up in the air for now. I found out via email, which is as good as any job would tell you.

Tomorrow is car in the shop day. So I'll chill, buy my textbooks, and be happy with my life. Life ain't so bad. I do need to relax. It's what my week end was made for.

Lousy bastards could have given me a promotion.

The Emancipation of Mimi

Didn't think I would buy another Mariah Carey CD. I was lukewarm when I bought "Rainbow," and I hated "Glitter." By time "Charmbracelet" came out, I was not feeling her at all. I ignored it. I didn't ignore "Emancipation." I love "We Belong Together." A friend said it was good, so I checked it out. It's DAMN good. I love a lot of the songs. I didn't excent it to be that good. THe CD was worth the money.

A friend got "dinged" at work. That is a BIG FAT YELLOW RAT cheesed on her. It was over her sending an email to a non employee. I'll have to remember to not do the same. I'll email from my home address from now on to keep myself, and my pals outta troube. Lord, some people take their job too serious. Like sending a damn email is destroying the fabric of the universe.

Speaking of the job, that will remain NAMELSS for the sake of keeping things off the radar. I'm having some mixed feelings at my job. I like helping people, but there is some nasty hand tieing going on. I suppose I am not meant to help everyone. i don't know. i get this feeling that I'm getting like all busted on. I'm too nice. I care to much. I'm not in the right place. At least the people I'm next to are super cool. We are good to each other. That makes things bearable a whole lot.

Got a new powercord for the laptop. I am so pleased!!!!! The old one was on its last leg.

Technical Difficulties

Hello,

It's me again. My power chord for my laptop had a nasty short in it. I couldn't do much computer work. Of course I ordered a new power cord, and Now I'm back in business. (still need to buy a new battery, but a few things at a time. no need to do everything all at once.

Now I gotta play catch up...

I'm Glad I'm @ Home Now II

Hello all,

Got up late this morning. I felt sluggish today until we went out to dinner. One of my friends had some funky cd's in her car. The song had a hook of "Put It In Your Moth." it was being sung like a damn nursery rhymwe. it was a hardcore song sung so casually. It made me laugh. It stuck in my head 4 a while. LOL Glad to purge it though. That's at's all I need to sing.

I have been workling nonstop, and its been very hectic. On top of that I'm trying to make sure I'm registered for classes, and having all my tuition paid. I also have to buy a new laptop. Time flies.

Paid so many bills doing the catch up thing. I'm like I'm tired. How much was that bill? I paid what? Why did I let this bill slip? Oh my God. I am so THANKFUL that I have the opportunitiy to get these bills behind me. Most of them should be clear this month (I hope).

Worked on 6 pages of a novel. need to do three more this week-end. I hope to do that Saturday with some music going on.

Going For A Promotion

There's a chance at a new position at my job, and I went for it. I went on the interview, and await the verdict. I'll keep all posted. My working hours change next week. No more week-ends for the next few weeks. This is due to the changes at work I can't discuss, but it's a great thing.

Also know my new hours for my next shift time. I work an hour earlier (means I leave earlier). The more things change, the more they saty the same. I did sense a forboding wind of change, so it's paying off. I suppose there are other things in the work. We shall see.

Watching "Without A Trace." This show can get into some deep sh*t. LOL Tonight it's about abortion extremests. Deep indeed. Saw some of "CSI." Some messed up stuff about incest and murder.

One of my cousin's passed. I wasn't close to him, but it is sad to hear of his passing. I suppose it's close enough when I feel sad about it. I left my phone at home, and no one really calls me, so I didn't go back home for it. Of course my mom was trying to call me and tell me this. I'm like damn.

Before I cam home, felt I should treat myself, and bought a slushie.

My Bliss For The Day

It is the perfect day to grill, and I dide, We had burgers, hen, corn, and hot dogs. Pretty healthy meal. I did the steaks oin the stove, 'cause beforehand it rained, and I didn't want to deal with that. The steaks were exceptionally good. I outdid myself.

My bro handled most of the actual grilling. he may have put too much charcoal on the grill, 'cause everything was charring so fast. I was thinking to myself, damn, do I need to parboil the food first. LOL. At least it woul;d have been cooked.

Gotta say I'm feeling better. That means a lot to me. I feel like this was a good passing. Gotta love that.

Went Back 2 Work

I love feeling better, 'cause the pain went away, most of it, and I could do my job. I felt like I was in a little box, and at last was let out of it. At work, things felt funny, like I was out of place. As if I didn't belong. Who knows, change must be looming, since I feel this way. We'll see.

Tonight is pizza night, as I ate 3 slices. Nice and hot too. Life is good.

Nasty Sinus Attack, Now Under Control

I have been beyond under the weather. The sinus attack turned into an ear infection. That meant going to the doctor and getting some meds to cobat it. The infection was so inflamed that it caused me constant pain for days. I had to go back to the doctor to get something to help with the inflammation. All I can say the pain was horrible. I wouln't wish that on anybody. That's just awful. The pain went to my jaw, and chewing became an effort. Thank God the medicine's helped greatly. I really feel better. Not 100%, but better.

Laying Low For The Count

Darned allergies got me but good, as I tried to breathe. Somethin g was in the air at work, 'caues I could feel my sinus ducts closing as I spoke. Had to go home. The moment I got into fresh air, I felt better. Made sure to buy more Clariton, the 12 hr kind. It does work, but I hate how the meds mess with my sleep pattern. However I hate allergies even more-LOL

I decided that since I'm oo, I can be lazy all day, which I have been. The most work I did was make dinner. Of course, it was a very uninvolded process. I seasoned some steaks, cooked them, made some fired rice, and then sauteed some vegies. That was it. I did make some Kool-Aid, what the hell, why not.

Talked with a good freind. We ended up talking about bills. It's interesting, 'cause I paid a bill, and the co called me saying they haven't recieved a payment. No doubt, I checked my bank account to make sure the payment went through. It did. I'm calling them to let them know they already have their pay. I'd expect them to call if I didn't make the payment. it's new when they call and I made the payment. betta stay on top of this for some shit comes off that.

Hey, It's Me Again

I hadn't written on my blogg in a few days. Thought better of not passin another day by. Have been writing nideas down for short stories, and a novel that if I don't get more proactive in, will never be written. Work has been finbe. I can say I am feeling good about myself, so I feel good about going to work.

Applied for a new position @ work. I hope I get it. Fingers cropseed y'all. A better position means more pay, and happiness on my part. ROFL! I love new challenges.

Will start classes in June for grad school, which is sooner than I thought. Hoping all my ducks are lined up son that I can get my house in order.

Does My Friendliness Make Me Look Fat

Had a few people tell me of late (relatives, no doubt) that I have gained weight. I really detest people saying this to me. It really bother's me I really feel that there are poople don't think about what they say. I have to think about all that shit this week. I am working on getting my exercise routine more thouroughly, but till then I wishe those with complaints would leave me the f**k alone. Sheesh. I feel like I need to live up to othber's expectations of me. That ain't cool. Some family members suck so bad. They don't have to worry about me visiting them again, or being on the Christmas list.

The Bitch IS Back

Love that title. Woke up this morning to a barking dog. My dog went to get the dog back. I told him that damn dog woke me from my sleep. He starts in on "Mom told him to get the dog back." Total cop out. I HATE being awaked from sleep.

Went to work yesterday. It was ok. I should have take the week off. LOL It would have felt better.

My Brother Gave His Dog Away!

Which I thought was a huge mistake. He says he wanted a purebread Rotwiler. The puppy was mixed. That was clear. She was one excitable dog. She was all over the place. After having the dog for some time, he gave it away. I told him that it was a msitake, since he already has the dog, and I lost my cat outta the deal. I was rather dissappointed by his decision, and feel like he's losing out. I don't know. He seems relieved, which tells me that he should have never gotten the dog in the first place. Gotta love those situations where the loser is the pets. I really miss Maxwell, and would love for my cat to come home, but it's too late. I think Maxwell has moved on. I hate the thought of this doggie adventure turning out nobody gets pets.

That's What It Feels Like

I'm feeling good about my days off. I'm bragging, and loving it. I have been playing video games, watchinching DVDs and living a good life. I need to gas my ride, while I'm thinking of it . It's good to feel good.

May is movie month. There's a new Star Wars movie me and my Bros are gonna hit. Want to see Kingdom of Heaven, and Fantastic Four. I am so geeking out about these movies. I pray they warrant all my excitement.

Iron Chef is on. I'll watch that.

I did manage to take some pics of flowers today. I love shooting photos. I was using the digital camera, and I need to find my USB cable so that I can dowload the images to my laptop. I need to get out the manual camera and work my magic on the photographs. I am being very lazy, but who can blame me. I am having such a good time. Maybe I shjould go to the Battery tomorrow.

I took A Few Days Off

I have some time off work, so I have decided to rest myself. Hopefully I can recharge my batteries, and live like I have no worries for the day. LOL

Paid all my bills first. This was a new for me, since I tend to pay bills when I get to them. I needed to get that out of the way, so I don't know

Have some stuff to do for grad school that I need to get out of the way. I am so excited about going, so it is great to even think about.

Have some relatives complaing about my weight. I haven't gained much, It is expected that I would gains more weight, since I am getting older. I really am taking offense to it. I really feel like the conversation is taking a turn for the worse. I decided to change the subject when it was brought up. If I hear it again, I will let somebody know that They need to shut the f*ck up. I've gotten that testy.

Haven't been as cretive as I like, however all good things are due in time.

Oh No He Didn't

The other day I failed a call at work. I had the distinct vibe that my boss felt a great amount of glee in letting me know failed. Rat bastard!!!!

I hate the fact that I'm under such pressure to perform. That's so much stress that I try too keep work at work. However, the thought of my supervisor taking pleasure in getting a failed call bothers me. I suppose I need to be on the defensive with him. He's making the job harder in a sense. Since I've decided to be on the defensive, I think I will let that go. Don't want to spend all day thinking about work. ROFL

Things I can Do Without

Lord,

Why is it that my day off, my family thinks that means nage the hell outta me. I really wanted to have a quiet day, and am ready to unplug this lapptop, and go into my room. I really will do that. When i got up, my mom asked me to do the shopping f or her mother. Fine. Next I get to the store, she and my brother are calling me asking me to "pick uo some extra things" ****Sigh***** I need a breather.

Of course I get home, and cook some french fries, and I have all these requests to "cook some for me," which has turned into I haven't cooked enough. It's getting thick in here. I'm taking a break.

I'm Glad I'm @ Home Now

I hate Saturdays at work. Lord knows I do. Today I got this customer who turned into a bitch on me. Sher cursed at me and I had to put that heffer on hold. She really got on my nerves. I do understand when people are fustrated. Believe me that shit happens all the time, but tone and how it is aimed is another thing. I HATE when people curse at me. Finally had to get the super to take the call. Good riddance.

The rest of the day went ok. I liked the calls I got. I helped out a lot of people. That was the good thing about today.

My bro's dog is everwhere. He really needs to control that damn dog. I hate pets that jump all over you> He needs to get her trained proper.

Another Day and I Feel Fine II

My bro woke me up early 'cause he swore he saw my cat Max outside. So a false alarm. Oh, that got me in the gut. I thought that fool came back home. Thank God I wasn't fully awake, or I would hate the morning.

I like today. At work we got pizza for being a great team. had to meet with our boss' boss. Also had a lot of calls. That don't matter. My goal is to serve and move on. Even the pissed off people don't make me mad anymore. LOL That's a great feeling. I did have one asshole who thought I should give him a discount. As if I could pull one of those discounts out of the freaking air. Asshole!!!! I ain't mad ROFL!!!!!!!

Working 2 morrow. Usually I HATE Saturdays, but I've been doing this feelgood vibe all week long, so I hope that goes away. I feel so good, I'll do overtime with no muss or fuss.-Next week. ROFL

I Felt great Today

This odd damn thing happened. i actually enjoyed a day at work. ROFL!!! WTF????? What happened to me. i was all miserable and shit. Where did it go. Maybe 'cause it's a full moon, or the fact that I decided to make my own lunch, and have been feasting on salad and pasta for the week. All I know is that people kept calling, and I was like I gotta get back on the line and get stuff done.

Maybe it was the fact that I realized that people who call really need my help, and I'm willing to give that service. The job isn't a burden, I just hate my shift sometimes, and some people are awful to speak with. That's alright. They don't phase me.

Listening to Monica's "The First Night." I love the song. The "Love Hangover" sample is well-used.

The End of Brains

Went to work yesterday. It was typical 'till a co-worker started having a panic attack, and said that shge had dreams of dying horribly abd younbg. She then began to freak out over a guy who was fired two moths ago, who might come back and shoot up the damn building. I'm like why would he shoot you? Wern't yoiu nice to him? On top of that why he come back? She had no answere, but made it an issue to tell the front door that the side door guard wasn't at his post. I'm like is she alright, or is she on her own wavelength. Like her lots as a co-worker, but this other side of her personality is on the sad scary side. Irrational fear can be dangerous. Specially since the danger is in her head.

Went out with another co-worker. We went to Applebees. After one Bahama Mamma, I wanted to more. ordered the steak. It was good. Talked about the job, and the world, and each other. Dinner ended well. Went our seperate ways. I liked going out. We've got to do that more often.

That's my week.

Life is Cool II

Hey, it;s been a good few days. Stopped taking the Clariton-D for a few days. i actually fell to sleep. I am very pleased about that. OD'ed on chocolate chip cookies. LOL. I suppose I found a new drug.

Learned a lot about text messages. i thought I was doing a lot. like 265 mssges sent and recived. A frind did near 1600, and a customer had over 10,000 (I still don't believe that-I didn't see the account, a co-worker claimed it happened). I thought I was doing something. I was doing nothing at all. ROFL

Bought two new cd's. I got Van Hunt (neo soul-ish) and Tweet (R & B). Not bad choices. The musis is mellow for the most part. I feel all relaxed. LOL

Got a customer today who flipped out litterally when I told him he had overage charges. I mean four letter words and the whole nine. Rather than take offense, I smiled (surprised myself, I know-Normally I would have been piseed!). I let his bad moment pass over me. Life was good after that. A co-worker told me somebody got pissed cause she couln't call American Idol from her handset. I was amused the whole day. Amusement has power.

Write More, Write Often

I should write more often. I felt a strong desire to do so. I've written
dozens of thoughts this week. It really makes me feel great to have
creative thoughts going through my head. Placed down a lot of ideas, and I
need to get back to one really rough draft of a potentially good story.
There's not enough time in the day to do all of my endevors. A couple of
frinds also mentioned that they are in the same boat. When does one find
the time to do all that they want to do.

I am so sleepy. Still, the Clariton-D makes me loose sleep, but I can't not
take any allergy meds. I felt so bad without taking something. Sinus
pressure has been terrible of late. I hate that.

I washed my car, because pollen was over it. The next day the pollen was
back. LOL. The car needed washing thoug, and I vacumed the interiors, so
I think I did the rith thing. It's supposed to rain today, so I guess I not
washing it this week-end.

Another Day and I Feel Fine

Can't get away from that damn Michael Jackson trial. Rather than fight it, I turned to Court TV. Saw Nancy Grace last night on CNN. She thinks he's guilty as hell. I don't know, I really did admire MJ for all his musical contributions, but I have always had a great disdain for child abuse. I don 't know what to think about him other than even if he was not guilty, he should have knon it is totally wrong to have a child in his bed. He set himslef up. I think I'll watch the Price is Right now. Less harsh of a story to deal with.

Had three days off from work. Enjoyed it. I'm not ready to go back. ROFL!!!!! I'll go back though. Gotta make that money.

This Is New Day

I've been slacking off. I'm tired and sleepy, and sleep deprived. I'd like to to do something fun and exciting. Something to help me forget my woes, and my damn sinuses.

Went to work the other day and got some escallation calls. I noticed my supervisor doesn't want to take them, but the that's what he's supposed to do, if the cust wants to talk to a supervisor. I get fustrated when he looks at me like he doesn''t want to do his shit. I know escallated calls suck, but damn, it happens.

Got a call from some good friends. One of them I hadn't talked to for over a semester, so it was good to get caught up. Still tired.

A Song For The Sleep Deprived

I'm so tired, but something makes me wake up at like 3:00 AM and I'm hard pressed to get back to sleep. I think it's the Clariton I'm taking. Ever since i took it, I've been all messed up. I need a good night's sleep. Promised myself that after I check my e-mail I'm going to bed.

I hate not being able to sleep. I am able to work, and function, so I'm not complaining, but this could quickly turn to stress for me.

Listening to Can't Nobody by kelly Rowland. Such a hot song. Love to hear it.

Fighting The Allergies

Decided to clean some of my room, so I could at least remove some of the clutter that thye dust settles on. I did good, I think. I didn't have a serious allergy attack while doing it either. I was more than relieved. I am going to get myself an air filter so that I can get myself some better air while in my room. Cleaning up felt good. I did throw out a lot of junk. I am not going to miss it.

In the middle of Law & Order. Hadn't been watching all of it, but there's a horse thief, and a murder.

Darned Allergies

I've got 'em so bad, that I all I could do was lay low for yesterday. I so wanted to post, but I was like sinus pressure, runny nose, and watery eyes was not my idea of a good time. I rested a lot. Did nopthing. Good thing I took a day off work. I can rest as I need to.

Cooked after all my woes. Spagetti, no less. I needed to eat. If I didn't I'd have felt worse. "nuff for now. Gotta go catch up on some e-mails.

Leaves Pic

I'm trying out some digital images I took a while ago to add some spice to my blogg. I'm using Photobucket, whic is very blogger friendly. Bear with me while I get it all sorted out. :-)

The Prince of Everything

It's been quite a week. Still got a missing cat. Went out to dinner FAR too many times this week with co-works. I'm like damn, I DO have another week to go before I get a paycheck. Stupid me. Nobody can take that blame but me. Still got some bills to pay also.

Went to Red Lobster today. The service sucked so bad. No tip! I did go out last night to Charley's. Dacquri and a sampler platter to cap my night off. No OT tonight. Had to get out of the building. Situations are so stupid. I had no time to sort out other peeps' shit.

They Cleaned The Bathroom!!!!!!

I went into the batroom last night at work, and it smelled like they cleaned it this time!!!! I'm so impressed. For a while that damn b-room smelled like a horse stall (pun intended). Either they fired the old cleaner, or he/she got on the ball. I'm very pleased with that.

Calls have been great this week. Even people with problems have been cool. I like that. The job is going smooth as far as dealing with people. I like that. Taking a few days next week. I wanted to. I needed to not feel like I all I did was answer phones and solve problems. I need to clean my home, and do my laundry.

Lord, there is theis local story of an old prison. This woman loooking over the site used the word throbbing and jail in the same sentence. I suppose an old prison would be exciting, but a throbbing expereince? On that note I'm outta here. I hope to write some more after I get off from work, but that depends on what I do when I sign out.

People Can See My Face Now

Now that I wear contacts, I'm getting more notice from people. Particullarly the ladies. I guess all they saw was my binoculars on my face before. LOL. I did notice the difference though. While cleaning my contacts, I put on my glasses, and peeped myself in the mirror. All I saw was my glasses. Oh my God that was my whole face!!!!! I vowed not to be seen outside with my glasses on again. Let's see if I can keep the promise.

No sign of my cat yet. I'm so hurt. Try not to think of him, but I still do. Max, wherever you are, I hope you're safe.

I have a project I have to finish tonight. Waiting for the computer lab to be cleared. I need that.

Went to the gym today. Me and a co-worker were like we need to go so we can get out money worth out of or Verizon Wireless benefits. It was cool. I did 40 mins of exercise. It felt great. At least every monday I will be going to the gym, so I can get better. Time will tell the end result.

Went out with a friend Sunday. We were catching up. We're cool. I like that. I need to catch up with other firends too.

My Cat Ran Away

Dammit. My cat ran away. He's been gone for two weeks. I am soooo upset. I'm hoping he'll stroll back through the door, but after two weeks, my hope is dwindling. I'm trying not to think about him, but I am upset.

Work ahs be ok this week. Been doing ovetime all week. Made a promise to self to only do three days of overtime a week, instead of five. I won't do Fridays and Satrurdays anymore. Calls have gotten better, even though my supervisor says I need to be more confidant than I am at this point. That means stop worrying about my service level.

Yesterday at work was semi ok. I should have drank more water than sodda. I felt like the day dragged. OT didn't help either, but I digress....that day is done.

Put on my glasses today, as opposed to the contacts, and I looked different to myself. LOL. I am a whole different person. Don't like the glasses anymore. I had them for years, but I prefer my non-glasses look more. Makes me feel better.

Did Somebody Say Sunday?

My days are all screwed up. I think it's Saturday. LOL Poor me. The job has created a shift differance for me. I have yet to adjust. I'm sure I can make it. I do have tomorrow off. That I do know for sure. What to do with my time.... REST OT is a bitch.

Listening to Amerie now. It's got me pumped. I'm so feeing her song "1 Thing." Spent the day with a freind as we talked. She started her own graphic design biz. Told her when she launched her site, then let me know so add a link to her stie. Meeka's the bomb. Woman's a pro when it comes to Adobe Illustrator. I tell her she's gonna blow up, and sell big time. I need 2 start my own biz. Be like her. Meeka rules!

Showed some old artwork off to a friend. Wish i was still painting again. I so miss it.

Off To Work

I do hate working the week-ends, but I gotta pay the bills. Customer service has changed for me overnight. I'll keep my professionalism. It's what I do. I gottsa go get ready, but I know this day will be better than the others. Why? Because I've reached a point I'm not satisfied with the level of work and quality. Also I will not have this job, or the customers stressing me. That's not cool.

I do need to relax and unstress myself. That's tomorrow. I do have to meet up with a pal tomorrow, and a couple of favors to come through on.

Life is great. I'm goinna make things work out for me. I insist!!!!

Change Will Do Me Good

Hell yeah,

I just felt like doing something radical, and for me that means creting something, or fucking it up. I have decided that I am living for myself, and that I can get a whole lot done if I stop worring about the useless shit. I know I can do better for myself. Besides I have an inclination that change is comming very very soon. I can tell you that it's better than feeling complacent.

Oh, peep the links please. I will add more as time permits.

Working Blues

Love customer services, but sometimes it really bothers me to serve people. I got two escallated calls today, on top of that I had to clean up other reps' messes, which took nearly all my day. That's just crazy mad drama. My life is drama.

...Then I get over it. Somethings are just to stiupid to be caught up in. Really. Hopefully people will learn to be better. I'd like to think that's what will happen.

I need to treat myself. Something nice. Maybe I just need to unwind with a movie or a good book, get lost in something other than the job. I should get the pastels out and start drawing again.

I do have some new video games to get lost in.

I'm Doing OT This Week

I'm doing overtime so I can add some extra cash to my account. Got a lot of people whinning about their bill, and some people who just want service. I help them all. A friend says I'm too nice on the phone. I know that niceness makes the service better. I like that. I also want people to feel like I do care for their opinions. It's rough sometimes, but I think a major part of customer service is being kind.

I'd love to think that I can do all I need to by being nice. That does not mean total pushover. It means I'll try nice first, before I try aggerssion.

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.
