Shenanigans!

I hate my job.  I hate how I've been screwed at work by the bosses.  I'm a level 3, doing a level 1's job.  It SUCKS!

Since January, I've been looking for another job.  You may think I've been looking for a long time, but that's because I'm looking for the perfect job.  I mean, I have one right now.  It pays the bills (albeit only just).  What's the point of leaving a shit job for another shit job.

Anyways, because of this, I've totally given up.  My attitude sucks basically.  This week, the super has been giving us our personal stats from the phones.

To point out to those who don't know, I am stuck on an IT helpdesk.  I have to answer the phone with pissants on the other end asking me why their email stopped working after they took out the blue cable from the back of the PC to the wall.  *rolls eyes*  And yes, I've been asked how to use a mouse before.

Anyways, back to the stats.  I've still been taking the most calls, or second most calls, even though my attitude sucks.  I feel like I'm doing nothing at work.  My queue is high, I let calls go to someone else, I surf the net all day.  Yet the super keeps saying how good a job I'm doing.

My question is, before my attitude totally sucked and I gave up, how many calls a day was I taking?  50?  60?

I claim SHENANIGANS!

I've been getting pretty concerned recently about Thesh's work.  She's been very stressed recently.  I know she hides a lot from me, probably so I don't worry as much, but I know the signs when I see.  You see, I've already been through a company in trouble.  I was there for the last 12 months of the company when it went from a highly profitable company, to bankrupt.  I know what it's like.  I know the pressures the bosses place on you.  I know how worrying it is to think of whether you'll have a job tomorrow or not.  Luckily for me, I saw it coming.  I handed my resignation in a week before they declared bankruptcy.  So I got 99% of my entitlements, while the others got 1%.

My Thesh, I know what you're going through at work, and I'm here to listen.  I love you. 

Well I'm back!

Yep, you heard it first folks.  Theshia 'n I have an internet connection back at home. 

Anyways, to fill you in quickly on the last 8 months:

- Theshia 'n I are still together.
- We are still living in our boxy little apartment.
- The new house won't be built for about another 3 months. 
- I'm looking for a new job as I keep getting shafted at the old one.

So that's it.    Seeya soon.

This is something I find totally amazing.

The Flight of Birds!

I was standing at the train station this morning, totally bored outa my wits.  I'd just missed the 8:15am and had to wait for the 8:35am to the city.  Anyways, I'm watching these three sparrows playing on the platform.  One of the leaps off, soars low over the tracks and alights perfectly in one of the tiny holes in the chicken wire fence on the other side.  Now the hole he landed in was lucky to go around him.  I couldn't believe it.  He hadn't flapped his wings, hadn't adjusted his pitch or speed, but he landed perfectly in the hole without a quiver.  I was stunned.  How do they do it?

Come to think of it, it's probably the most profound thought I've been faced with all week, and also one of the most relaxing. 

Well, my blogging is getting more and more erratic, isn't it?  Sometimes I'll blog three times in two days, and then I won't blog for a week.  Life's like that.  I've just been too busy to worry about Xanga.  Why is that?

Work is still shittin' me off.  It's just........ I dunno how to describe it.  It's a good job, and I enjoyed it when I first started, but I've changed.  And now this job isn't for me.  It's still the same one, just I'm not anymore.  Am I wierd?  No, this is normal.

Love is proceeding like a rollar-coaster.  With Theshia getting a tooth pulled, it's been stressful on both of us.  I know she doesn't really mean anything when she abuses me when it's sore, or pissing her off.  But it starts to get to you after a constant week of on/off sour moods.  And she tells me this morning her periods due too.  I think I might just crawl under a rock.    But I love her, very much.

I'm oncall again this week.  That means for a pityful $250 extra I get stuck with the mobile phone and laptop all week, to expect calls in the middle of the night, during my fav TV show, or even on the weekend at 3am.  Great, just what I need this week.

Anyways, just thought I'd get these off my chest.  Oh, and I'm doing programming in my spare time for an international group rewriting a game, and I got a heap of instructions from the lead-designer asking me for all these new things to do.  And of course he wants them yesterday.  No wonder I never have any time.  What ever shall I do?  SIGH!
