Something unfair about this shift change…
I’ve been here since 9:30 or so. I start at 11. ‘Nuff said? I think so. Don’t get me wrong, I love the play time… but, um… that’s way too early for my liking. Particularly since I leave at 8:30 to get here, give or take walk time. Um, eww. … Read the rest

I knew working at Dell would be bad for me.
Tonight went well enough that I 1: had lots of free time during my shift, 2: got off my shift on time for a change, and 3: had time to kill afterwards while waiting for people to get done so a rather large group of us could get a ride … Read the rest

A game worth calling in sick for.
Okay, I didn’t call in sick to watch the hockey game, but rather because I’d of ended up going home tired today if I didn’t. I got in at about 2:00 this morning, and would have had to get up again at 9 or 10 to be ready to leave … Read the rest

Easiest evening I’ve had in ages.
In 2 minutes, I will be off, unless my phone goes off. I haven’t had a call in 10 or so. I think I’m gonna be safe for getting off at 11 tonight… sweet, freakin, jesus. Saturday night means pizza, garlic bread, and hopefully not staying at work ’til 1 … Read the rest

I officially need more blogs to read.
It’s damn near 1 in the morning, I technically don’t *have* to be in bed for another hour, and I’m bored as hell. Not to mention I need something to read during down time at work… and hardly anyone on my current llist of blogs actually blogs regularly anymore! … … Read the rest

I somehow survived my first night on the phones.
Don’t ask me how, because I have absolutely no idea. A couple calls I took ended up making me feel somewhere between awkward and stupid, and… I was… more than a little nervous taking them, but I managed. Somehow. Through some twisted maneuver of fate… or something. It was definitely … Read the rest

One more reason to love my job.
I’d originally planned to skip breakfast. But with free coffee and doughnuts floating around, ya think that’ll last long? Hell no. These people with whom I work are awesome. And… hey, I even get paid today. Suhweet.

People amuse me.
I sat here and listened to a recording of a phone call wherein the guy that called in was just plain trying to bate the tech agent into an argument, and all I could think is “I know at least one person who does that for fun”. Fortunately she doesn’t … Read the rest

They’re letting me listen in today.
Meaning in a few minutes I’ll be getting paid to let someone else take a phone call or few. Awesomeness galore.

Different year, same routine.
I’ve said it before, and probably on here, but it deserves being said again. It’s a *really* good thing it’s just me living here–I couldn’t come up with the time to clean up after anyone else. I got home again today at about quarter to 6, or there about, which … Read the rest
