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 don’t talk about things because too many people I know IRL actually read goblinbox. My posts have sucked for awhile because I have a lot to say that I can’t say (I’ve been writing awesome posts in my head, though!) on two topics in particular: The first topic is work. I could […]
In which there’s, like, not much. Apparently my brain is broken. I mean, I’m doing stuff – making bentos, knitting a hat, doing Xmas shopping online – but I can’t think of a single thing to write about. All my creativity is going into my tweets, I guess… there is a lot to be said […]
In which I never got anything this cool from an employer before. Today during our weekly company meeting, admin announced that we wouldn’t really be having a proper Christmas party this year – only a luncheon – but then they got all giggly and ran into the back and then came out and proceeded to […]
In which having a strong voice is more of a bug than a feature. Depending on how closely you read the ‘box, you may or may not be aware of the fact that I am now sitting in what is my fifth location at work. In only ten months! I started in the back room, […]
