Now that’s a distraction.
So I’m waiting for the local bus that gets me from my transfer point to the office, and this rather nice young lady who just so happens to be taking the same bus pulls up a seat about… oh 5 feet away from me and starts playing a guitar. At … Read the rest

I’m dyin’ over here. Of boredom.
Wednesday nights/Thursday mornings are perhaps the worst nights to be working. There’s 36 people on the floor, or there abouts, and enough calls for maybe… uh… I’m gonna be generous and say 25. So at any given time, after about 3:00 in the morning, I get to sit here and … Read the rest

Happy June! ‘N such.
This is what happens when I can’t come up with a more creative title. But… who’s counting? Ordinarily I’d be up to my eyeballs in calls… but… thank the gods for system outages, now it’s “we’re updating, call back tomorrow”. And I get paid to just sit here and be … Read the rest

Yep, it had to be Friday.
So I’m standing at the bus stop on my way to work tonight, and sure enough, I think those same people were there tonight who were a couple weeks back. I kinda recognised the voices, anyway… at least a couple of ’em. And again, they were complaining because the bus … Read the rest

Just how awesome is my boss?

I definitely should have done this ages ago.
I always thought the walk from my place to work and back was actually kinda nice. Even when it was upwards of -25 degrees and I’d spend 15 minutes after getting here bitching to no end about the cold. But it actually *is* rather enjoyable, in spite of that. Perhaps … Read the rest

Insanity: my life summarized.
A whole shitload’s happened since I last had time to breathe, let alone post here, so I’ll try to squeeze it all into the half hour I have to write before my shift starts. Lessee… where to start. It would have been so much less confusion with a phone call. … Read the rest

Thank the gods it’s Friday.
Yes, I know, calendar-wise it’s Tuesday. But so far as my work schedule’s concerned, today be Friday, folks. And it didn’t come a moment too soon… this week has been completely and utterly insane. And it’s still not over yet. I start work again in 10 minutes, and I’m expecting … Read the rest

So much for downtime.
Apparently there’s lotsa people waiting. And I don’t start for another half hour, give or take. Sucks to be them! Of course… you just know when I start I’ll have 15 minutes to wait before my first call. Blarg and such…
