Come with me...

of pure procrastination~

I still hate that I'm, at my job, not supposed to develop any manner of rapport with the customers. I do it anyway, when it's a long call I'm pretty certain won't be QA'd...but I feel like a cold, heartless, robot when I'm on shorter calls.

It's like,

"My husband owes me child support, and it's due on the fifth, and I need my phone because my son needs to call me when he's back from his basketball games,"

and my verbiage is like, "I certainly understand that. Is there $50 you could pay today over the phone, from a checking or savings account?"

I hate it worse than anything.

Christ! Don't these heartless companies realise people respond better to the human touch than the cold automaton? If I owed something, and developed a bit of an understanding with the operator, I'd be much more inclined to try to reach a compromise than if they just kept badgering me and repeating the party line. In fact, I'd almost NOT pay for spite, thinking "heartless ****ers! Let them sing for their money!"

No wonder you hate your job!

Woke up with really bad acid re-flux. It's nearly made me puke all morning it's that bad. I'm trying to be productive today, but it's proving to be difficult.

I don't know if you have this where you come from ("The rainy city: Seattle?) but my sis swears by it, and she has really bad acid reflux...

Tastes like liquid chalk though, be warned...

I'll have to look and see what we've got. My mom said to take a few tums, hasn't really worked yet.

And yes, the rainy city of Seattle

Man I hate when people schedule stuff at the last ****ing minute. A lunch for music students was planned today, and reservations were made for TOMORROW. I'm pissed about it because I have to work tomorrow and can't go. If I had known last week, I would have been able to get the day off. Ugh.

I really hate it when people try to make me cut off my close friends and my two brothers so they can try to have me all to their self.

Yeah, I got kidnapped last year, and it kinda sucked.
