Woah...

So I made 600 today for a 2 minute video of shaving off dead skin off my feet today


yassss

Yuck.

You need to get me a job man :laughing:

You can be me apprentice, wifey :D


(no really, Amandria is my apprentice tbh)

I donated exactly $52 to a Kickstarter campaign today, so the guy would be at precisely $3000. He's got two grand to go, and ten days. I was initially going to throw $20 his way, but then I decided that would be more of a milestone if I got him up to 3k. I'm also going to get my tax refund back pretty soon, have way more extra money hanging around than I'm used to, and nothing I really want to buy. I figured helping fund a short film I'm actually supporting the making of would be a good cause.

EDIT:
I was also alarmed today that people at work think I'm compelling. They act like I'm the Dos Equis guy or something. I think it's kind of depressing. Working at a call center doesn't allow for much free time, and a lot of the people I work with have kids and ****, so that further destroys their time to pursue hobbies.

I think I'm lucky to have a job with benefits and all, more than ample pay, and still not have enough hindrances in my life that I can enjoy and pursue hobbies and real interests. Even though that goddamned place is sucking the life out of me.

It'll get better when the new system works properly and doesn't forward EVERY call to my department in error. We were over 600 in queue today. Fun, fun, fun. We haven't been out of queue since we got the new phone system.

I've already gotten tired of verifying people, and them being like, "I didn't want financial services; I wanted tech support/customer service/customer relations/prepaid/any other department in the ****ING company that isn't financial services.

And I look at the queues for the others, and they always have: "Average wait time: 0 seconds" i.e. not in queue. This is ****ing ridiculous.

Also - have you ever had to deal with someone who's been waiting 20 minutes to talk to a real person, only to realize they're in the wrong department? Yeah. That's oodles of fun.

Today I made a network diagram in Microsoft Word. Because I hate Visio. I really did a number on that diagram, though. It was as custom as you can possibly get. Feel free to swap the word "custom" with "ghetto".

The only reason I did it is because I'm trying to get my software vendor to shed some light on client access licensing, and apparently the company I work at HAS THE MOST UNUSUAL SETUP IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING. Personally, I don't think so. But that's just me.

Anyway, I had to actually create a diagram to let them know how our systems are set up. This is after three conference calls with the account executive at my vendor and a person that actually works at Microsoft, whose licensing terms are apparently so f*cked up and obscure that even people that work for Microsoft don't f*cking know exactly how it works...

So hopefully my pretty little pictures will provide the aid they need. It's just sad that it has to arrive at such a point.

But yea, I finally finished all that, got home, and started working on a song and drinking some beer. Had some boiled crawfish as well. Life is good.

Received a $2000 scholarship request via email for The American Academy Of Dramatic Arts yesterday in New York. I don't know guys, should I go for it?

Thats a lot of money, what does that course involve exactly? Will it be worth your time?

I'd pay you $600 not to see that. You can tell me I'm a pussy though. I'd like to get my money's worth.
