In which I give you a picture of call center life. Yesterday, for my first call of the day I was on the phone with a customer for 106 minutes trying to set up his DSL. It should have been a 10 minute call, tops. The hardware was properly cabled and all the correct lights […]
In which I do one thing in place of another. I couldn’t install my new 120Gb hard drive because I need a hard drive caddy because I can’t get the one on my current hard drive OFF because of un-ideal tools and a lack of significant hand/wrist strength. This whole hard drive replacement project is […]
During a conversation among the crew about River’s capabilities. “Psychic, though?” says the pilot. “That sounds like something out of science fiction.” His wife, the first mate, replies drily, “We live on a spaceship, dear.”
In which now my desk is fully tricked out. I used to have a Mr Coffee Mug-Activated Warmer. It sat on many a desk next to me as I worked for many an employer. It plugged into an electrical outlet and faithfully kept my beverages – and sometimes even my hands – warm. When I […]
In which I ramble on about getting older. Work tonight was perfectly paced. Never got behind, never got ahead, just one call or call-back or chat presented itself at a time, all in an orderly fashion. Usually it’s not like that, it’s either banging or totally dead. I guess I liked it; appeals to my […]
In which there’s a bar moment. Last night RB picked me up after work and took me over to the Oasis. Between the band’s sets, the bass player came and sat next to our table. There was a lit cigarette in the ashtray next to him. An attractive woman walked up, picked up the cigarette, […]
In which it’s way better this way, but still not ideal. I think my ability to perceive the glass as half full is actually a character flaw. I think this because I can slog through a fairly unacceptable life and yet still be convinced that I’m happy, even when I’m patently not. I learned this […]
In which there are a few things, and not a one of them is interesting. I had my first review last Friday: apparently I’m doing a kick-ass job. I asked for an ergo keyboard and got one the same day. Yay! Winter’s here this week. It’s about sixteen degrees below freezing. Today I’m wearing fleece-lined […]
In which I spend most of the day in front of the computer. Today I woke up hungry at the ass-crack of dawn, but I stayed in bed until nine or so rockin’ out to tuneage on the beloved iPod. I made eggs and toast and coffee for breakfast when I finally got up. Then […]
In which you tell me what to do! I want movie recommendations. From YOUSE, my babies! If you use Netflix, befriend me (I’m goblinbox, of course) and recommend stuff. And if you don’t use Netflix, leave me a comment and tell me what to watch! Thank you. *smooch*
