I fail at the world.

So yeah, previous entries suggest my experience with teh love lifes is going badly. But boy was I in for a surprise.

Today should have been good. We get an hour each week off the phones for personal research porpoises. I also had a meeting, so combined today was full of win, two hours off that broke up all my on-phone time nicely. But oh, no. My manager informs me at the meeting that customer service levels are really crappy this month. I did get a couple of nasty Comment Cards from users recently, though that's not the norm. But still, I'm the sacrifical lamb to go demonstrate our goodwill, by personally going on-site to fix some issues for some of the moodier idio- er, users.

First guy was an ass. Second was some little old lady who I swear didn't know you don't plug a USB mouse into an Ethernet port. No, it didn't actually fit. Third one was an otherwise nice girl (real cute too) who was all kinds of mad.

I won't bore you with technical details, but by this point I'd really had it. Walk out of work bad, no but bleh, still bad. But then somehow I figure out the issue real quick (it was stupid easy, really) and suddenly she's real quiet. She felt really bad for being angry and I was courteous (despite plotting hers and everyone's doom in my head) and suddenly she asks me if I'd like it if she took me to dinner.

EEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!!?

Really, she was cute and nice, and it was understandable she was mad earlier. I'm not the type to get handed a really nice gesture and think the whole day's turning around, though. Course I was right. Turns out her ex works down the hall and overheard her (somehow, jealous bastige grr!) and starts a fight with her on the spot.

Now, I hate behavior like that. Add to that I hate asshole guys, and also was watching a perfectly good opportunity to graciously receive a kind gesture from a really cute girl (who knows if it'd go anywhere but hey it could be a sign!) and he's totally screwing up the mood. Frustration, pegged. So I turn around prepared to bull him out of the office and slap the shit out of him, half in defense of cute girl and half for my own tired brain's sake, but then all of a sudden my mom got scared she said 'You're movin' to live with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air' I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror if anything I can say this cab is rare but I thought 'Naw forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'...

...

So I fail at the world for this April Fool's joke.

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!

No really. Weirdest things show up in Wikipedia.

Er...wow

So apparently, Boeing has me on their records, as in, I might've worked for them before.

This...is weird. I never have. I'd suppose it may come from the fact that my dad worked for them for years and years, and I was on his company health insurance. I doubt this'd cause issue for me to be employed by them.

Finally watched Bleach. Looooove it!

Also am working on Eureka Seven. Hehe.

Well, sorta. Work has been on the up, ever so slightly. I'm very tentative about saying this. Mainly, as I may just have lost the ability to care enough to take advantage of it. So is the way of those who lose their faith in their job. However, I might make it. Still to be determined.

Girlfriend seems in a funk lately. She's a very sweet girl, I think staying home and stuck in the job search too long is wearing on her. I also much more easily annoy her..things I messed up that she'd get over now bother her...and continue to. Plus it doesn't help that I won't get the money to see her for at least another couple of months.

And at home, well. Bills continue to pile up. This is part of why I won't get to see the girl for awhile. Internet's fixing to get shut off and...I'm beginning to realize I can't foot a bill for a trip to CA alone without repercussions hitting me for at least a month after.

Also, looking to expand music interests. Anyone got a good suggestion?

Whew! Updatage (possibly some game content)

So it occurs to me as I pass into another weekend that I won't stay at my current company. A lot of previous posts hint at this but the final straw is that selling stuff will be required. A low amount, mind, but still I am the type of person who at a sales job will frequently sell NOTHING. Just who I am, I hate being pitched something when I don't want to buy, so I find it impolite to "push" a sale. Anyhoo. Will stay with it for now, cause really the people I work directly with are awesome. Sometime in the next couple months will see me leaving likely though.

Car needs work. It's good, and she holds together much better than I deserve, so some much needed work is needed. Perhaps this weekend I can at least do an oil change. I'd do it myself, but yet again I find myself living at a place where showing mechanical savy on "community property" is frowned on. Guess the rich college kiddies can't stand seeing someone knowing something they don't, basic though it is. I mean...what do they think I'll do? Get oil all over my hands and walk towards them with fingers clawed going "RAAAAAGGGHHHH!"

...

Ok, so I would totally do that.

Game stuff: Burning Croosaid is upon us. I faced the rush to Hellfire with stoicism, resolve, bravery, and promptly ran soiling my robes upon sighting the first Fel Reaver. To my credit, I haven't been ganked by one yet though a few Horde took care of that. I'm amused by the rogue who ganked me at half health/mana, then tried to gank me again with my party of four while we were distracted killing Azzaruis the Cruel. However, I not only kept DoTs up on him, contributing to his defeat, but killed the rogue in the meantime. Sometimes, despite facing all the hate, I love being a warlock. ^^

Leveling a shammy also. Always meant to do this since the second month playing when I was still Horde, only now I finally have a chance to do so with all the great people I play with now, on Alliance.

Well, I'm getting tired a bit, as I almost accidentally deleted this whole post, so, goodnight world, tomorrow sees me claiming either clam chowder or tasty pizza for runch. :)

Its about time

2006-12-21T20:26:50Z

Job hunting again. I'm sick of my current job's limitations, inflexible policies (edited for length). In short, if anyone knows of a place that's hiring that pays decently well, lemme know.

I'm looking to be out of my current job and moving on to the new one ASAP, or end of January at the latest. The sooner I can turn in my two weeks' notice and GTFO of this circus, the better.

Now on to writing the rant I accidentally started writing into this post, and then hoping I can afford FOOD for the next week, let alone smokes/gasoline. rrr...grrrrrrgrgrrrr...ok rant post next.

What the h-...?

2006-02-22T04:30:43Z

Did LJ get spiffier, or do I just not post enough and didn't notice?

Oh yeah...random funny stuff:

So yeah. Having a good week. W00t and stuff. :)

Work is great...someone like me, who can laugh and is horribly amused by people acting dumb and such, has possibly found a job that I can laugh at. I actually look forwards to taking a call, wondering what I'll hear next. Hehe.

Anyone want to do anything tomorrow on Sunday, before 4pm? Lunch, something like that?

Oh, YEAH BUDDY!

Watching a baseball game is interesting...hehe.

Back in town now

2004-08-23T20:07:20Z

Says it all. Had a good time, got a little cool schwag, and ended up enjoying the weekend. :) Vacation is nice, it's the getting back home that, while nice, sometimes makes you wish you were still out there. Ah well. Back to the normal life, heh. Did me some good though, straightened myself out a bit and hopefully some things with some other people out, too.

Well, fun time is over, time for some chores/errands. Will be around home most of today, though, in case anyone wants to do something. I've a whole day off now and nothing to do. :\

Kind of bored. Anyone want to hang out for lunch?

manaki @ 2004-07-17T11:43:00

2004-07-17T18:39:22Z

It's nice to see people happy. :)

Going to watch an anime today that I've been meaning to watch. Fun one, only hope my comp has enough space.

But if anyone is up for some lunch, just gimme a call. :) Currently starving and fiending for some coffee. :\

Ok...who left the Thermostat of the World up on high?! *gasp*

holy heck...

2004-06-21T01:13:28Z

It's entirely too hot outside. I've gotten a headache from it, and I can't do anything without getting uncomfortable. Even the downstairs feels too warm. Ugh! I swear, I just don't get a break.

manaki @ 2004-06-08T23:01:00

2004-06-09T05:56:55Z

Weeee, lotsa work hours done already. And more tomorrow, then Thursday, then Saturday the- *zonk*

Must self-torture, for needs the means for the ends doth justify. I'm not making sense, it's time for bed. :P

2004-06-04T06:32:33Z

Wow. I worked over 12 hours today. And I finished a writing project that I was supposed to complete last week, finally (apologies to those to whom they are due). And I'm not tired. That much, anyhow. *groan* See how this goes tomorrow morning.

Random question-ness. So how cool would an samurai-anime character be if his sword-style was based on hitting his opponent as they hit him?

Hmm....

2004-06-02T17:15:59Z

*looks around*

HECTORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Hey, that is funny. ROFL.

So, somehow my ride to work locked their keys in their apartment, and the landlord didn't have a spare. I'm going to be way late, today. Rgh. I better not get fired over this...
