I'm a Squid with an Ocean

Anyway, worst call of my life today. It was rough. The customer was the store manager and he was being a jerk face bastard and then continued to be one to my supervisor Kat. So if you're going to Milford, CT in the near future, don't go to their Footaction USA. Well, he might not be there for much longer.

Also found out that one of my good work friends got nominated for employee of the month which is awesome! yay Megan!

Jake my other supervisor told me he bought the first Sookie Stackhouse book and that I'm third in line to borrow it. Awesome. Every now and then we quote it: "ain't nothing but hate and fear coming off that cornbread." Loves it.

I'm going to the movies with Kayla tonight, yay! I need to get my JavaScript done before then.

OH AND LUSH TODAY!!! My order came today which makes everything better.

Taken is such a fantastic movie! OMG, OMG!
GO WATCH IT.
I wanted to see Slumdog Millionare and Kayla wanted to see Taken. We did rock paper scissors, let's just say that scissors beat paper. But I didn't care. SO AWESOME!!!

Yeah, I totally ditched my JavaScript lab time to go see a movie with Kayla. So worth it.

It's soooo great. Wow. GO. Really, go.

After the movie, we drove by Eastbay and decided to pick up our schedules since they're printed out on Wednesday evenings. We were so awesome stopping by at 11:20 on a Wednesday night.

I'm going to watch tv now. Yaaay!

I'm so bored, slightly confused, and headachy. I want to go home.

I hate mondays. So long and I'm really crabby at the end of the day.

Heroes starts again in a week so I should be happier then.

I work tomorrow morning/afternoon then I'm going to spend the rest of the time doing JavaScript homework because I'm a little masochistic. Then I'll finish watching The Last Templar with Spy Daddy/Jesus...Victor Garber. Yay! Did anyone else watch/plan to watch?

Yesterday I read The Sheik online. I liked it overall, but found Diana's change in heart kind of frightening. She changed from "I HATE YOU" to "I love you!" too quickly. Although Ahmed did sound like a very interesting (and pretty!) character.

Uh, class is starting again, peace out!

I'm not feeling awesome right about now. Ugh, what did I eat and/or what's wrong with me? UGH!

Anyway, still going to work because I'm dedicated...or need the money. You decide why I'm doing this. I'm bringing SQL homework with me and the guidelines for the dramione_ldws challenge. Princess Bride yay! Not sure what I'll do with the prompt, but I'll think of something. AND 100 WORDS! Yikes!

I just hope I'm feeling better tomorrow, I got plans for a movie/pizza night with some girls from work.
DON'T BE SICK.

Hopefully it will be slow so I can get things done and that I might be able to go home early. I would like that. Oh yes I would.

This is my friend Stephanie's pic (sorry the html is being a bitch), if you're awesome you will vote for her! :3 Thanks! (also a reminder for me to vote once a day) And if you're in the voting mood: Voting for Green Bay will be really cool since they donate cans to the local food pantry. Also once a day thing if you're interested.

Work was really slow. I spent most of my time reading Shattered Mirror by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I liked it...even though I spotted some mistakes in there. "Brothes" instead of Brother and "I" instead of "me" once. Still liked it, and hell it's better than what I could write so I can't judge. I'll read the next book tomorrow so I can give them back to Kayla when she returns from her amazing trip to London/Dublin...where ever she is now. One of the two cities anyway.

But I did have to call UPS Canada twice and regular UPS not at all. Pam was especially AWESOME and I was ready to call the customer back with the AMAZING news and I had to lmom (leave message on machine) it. As a customer service individual, I LOVE hearing two words: thank you (especially when I had to do a lot of work for them. Not being polite makes me less inclined to do more work for people. Write that down and suck it.

I also got conned by some Alabama woman. She said that she needed compensation for the unnecessary drive to the store she had to take. I offered her a gift card. She asked how much (ugh greedy mcgreederson) $10. Wasn't enough. Asked what she was expecting. $35!! Nevertheless, I had to relay the request to a sup, who granted it. Whatever. I later googled the two cities, and they aren't even 20 miles apart. Bitch. Unless she drives a tank, she didn't need $35.

I also emailed Lush cust serv, and they are behind schedule due to the amount of orders and bad weather conditions=not everyone getting to the factory to fix stuff. They also are going to upgrade my shipping so it still arrives in the timeframe promised. Yay lush! :3 I love them.

Also: found the song at the end of Ugly Betty. It's La Ritournelle by Sébastien Tellier if anyone is interested, because I know it was driving ME crazy at least!

*counts* so. 4 movies to go....less than 8 hours left in the day. Oops. Whatever. I passed tv that's all that matters. I'm surprised I watched 96 movies this year, I thought it would've been more, but it's tough to watch movies alone all the time.

Anyway, apparently no one bothered to invite me to a New Year's party, so I'm having one at my house...which is so far only attended by one other person. Yessssss. All of the people I invited either said "I can't go," or haven't bothered to respond yet.

One friend invited me out to lunch sometime as a substitute. I'll take it.

Mom dragged me to the mall today. Not a fan. I didn't see anything I liked and I just got a headache. Boooooo.

It was really busy this morning at work. Usually it's really slow, not so much today. Probably because not as many people were working today. What can you do? I also had two people YELL at me for something that wasn't my fault. #1. Company policy, I can't change it. And the other #2. It's not something I have the power to change. I'm not God and can control when UPS delivers packages.

Best quote. Me to a customer in VA: Your package hasn't shipped yet, but we're trying to locate a store for you. We're currently looking at a store in Maryland.
Customer: Nonononono, Maryland is too far away!
Me: .... uh we're shipping these shoes to you, you don't have to pick them up.
Cust: Oh good!

I also love it when you do a crap load of work for a customer and they don't even say thank you.
But old nice Texan guys are nice, "I appreciate your courtesy ma'am." awwwwwwwwe

Yep. LJ says that I haven't posted anything for four days. I haven't been doing much though. I didn't even do anything for Memorial Day.

Sports: Pistons are tied 2-2 and play a game tonight in Boston. Hopefully they will win. Red Wings also play tonight. They lead 2-0. Emelie from Sweden is jealous that I get to watch the games. They do broadcast them live in Sweden, but they are live and start at 2:30 AM and she's too tired to watch the whole game since she's still in school.

Work is work. Blehrg. I won't bore you with the details since it is normally the same thing over an over. But I did do some training yesterday for a new way to do something....but we can't start doing it until the 16th. Whatever. I also went 1h 45 min without taking an order. It was so weird. After my break I took order after order after order though, so I guess it evened out.

I had a dream that involved going up north, wearing hoop skirts, mix of past/present times, dumping bags of pellet fish food into the lakes to lure fish, a carriage chase, trying to get husbands a la Jane Austen. It was really cool. I wanted to write it down so I could attempt to write it, but not it's too jumbled and makes no sense. Too bad since it was more awesome than your face.

Tomorrow Brittany and I are getting together to watch Lost. She's going to be caught up by then and it will be nice to be able to exclaim "OMG WTF" and "well played show, well played *golf clap*" and have someone there who understands. I had that with my old roommate and with J-Wall when she's in town. Last year watching parts 1&2 of the Doctor Who finale was awesome. She needs to come back to Geebs right now.

I'm also insanely excited for the rest of Who. That promo was amazing. Heck yes.


And that's all I have to say about that.
