In which I’m happy. The new job rocks now. I have a desk, a chair, a phone, and and extension. I’m taking calls. Co-workers are all adorable and geeky. Got my last direct deposit from the call center yesterday, getting my first direct deposit from the ISP tomorrow. I have access to accounts and billing […]
In which I complain a little. First of all, at the new job I still don’t have a desk or computer of my own, or logins for everything I need to be logged into. But there’s a computer now with my name on it, and a space that I’ll be moved into by the end […]
In which I’m all settled in. Started the new job Tuesday. I like it here. Not much training to speak of but since this is my fourth ISP I don’t really need much. What I do need is a desk of my own, an extension, a headset, and some logins and I’ll be just fine. […]
In which you get what you ask for, and I had to ask for an adventure. For the 4th I stood in a wheat field on the east side of town with Landi, my 23-year-old friend who just graduated from culinary school, and burned sparklers while watching the professional shows off on the horizon. We […]
In which the good and the bad are blended into something so astonishingly neutral that I probably could have slept all day and felt just about the same. Today is my last day at the call center. I am so excited! Change! I’m changing jobs! I’m out of here! This seriously freakin’ rules! I’ll get […]
In which there’s really great news! Three times over! Today has been the longest, slowest day ever. I’ve been here since ten and haven’t even been on the phone for two hours. It’s that dead in here. Which means that the day has been dragging by with incredible slowness. But when the day is over, […]
In which it went really well! I had an interview today at 1:30 at an ISP/CLEC1. It’s about four blocks closer to my house than the company I work for now. I did well in terms of enthusiasm and communication. I probably took a little too much control of the meeting overall, but I always […]
When he called back, he told me I’m “full of shit,” said I didn’t know what I was talking about, called me “young lady” with contempt, and said he would “get me fired.” He proceeded to argue with me again about our stupidity in not being able to charge an expired card in detail, and didn’t slow down at all when I asked, “Do you really not have anything better to do on a Friday night than to yell at someone who makes minimum wage?”
In which I do go on about vacation and Amma and work. I will go on vacation in nine days. NINE DAYS. I can’t remember the last time I needed a vacation so very badly. I can’t wait to zip up my rolly case and go to the airport. I can’t wait to get on […]
