what i learned at work today

Being an ambitious adult is like a frog sitting on a venus fly trap. the flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has small, lame, plant teeth. But then some other stuff could happen and it would be like ambition.

Thanksgiving rocked.

I spent my day at work, which was a slightly disguised blessing because work was extremely slow.

I spent most of my day taking advantage of that miraculously infinite source of coffee they have at work, and chatting with my fellow employees.

I took less than 50 calls today, which is ridiculously slow because on a normal day we get written up if we take less than 60 some calls. A co worker i know averages more than 90.

Anyways, today rocked, except for the fact that I'd be a lot happier if Tara was home.

The good side about her leaving is that when she comes back I might be able to con her into working at my job.

rad.


P.S. Verizon is awesome because I am currently updating my livejournal from the embedded internet explorer browser on my cell phone.

...

at broadband speeds.

alhough i think i'll be switching to t-mobile because their crappier and cheaper, and i need to start buying crappy stuff because i soon wont be able to afford this good stuff.

then i can post about useless crap on slower, EDGE speeds.

for less than half the price.

Having desire you can see only what is visibly real.

Mystery and reality emerge from the same source.
This source is called darkness.

Darkness born from darkness, the beginning of all understaning.

everytime i get jealous i just pretend i'm in one of those cheesy prime time sitcoms.

everytime a male gets jealous in one of those sitcoms everyone tells him he's overreacting.

and i'm always sitting in front of the T.V. going "Jeez man calm down! You're making a dick out of yourself in front of millions of Americans!"

So I just tell myself that, and it usually gets me to shut up for a few hours.



I work for a call center now. I'm not supposed to mention where I work on the internet because I can get fired, but it's not something dirty or illegal. It's actually kind of high tech.

I work for one of those companies that has an extremely generic name that is made into an acronym.

When I call in sick to work I get an automated system, and when I don't show up to work it doesn't matter why, as long as I am under 6 'points'.

Once that sixth point roles around I'm fired.

I'm not very close to six, luckily.


My job is also very easy and occassionally entertaining, and a machine not far from my cubicle dispenses an infinite amount of free coffee. I get to talk to people, and I get to be a nerd in public and no one gives me funny looks. Well... not that I can detect - unless i'm in the break room talking to co-workers.


I'm also staying with my girlfriend, which is really awesome but kind of strange since i haven't yet moved. But we will soon, with our good friend casey, to a place we normally wouldn't be able to afford if there weren't three people helping pay.


It's actually where my ex-gf used to live, the Westridge. Real nice.


Anyways, I didn't actually have anything interesting to say. I just needed something to do while my ramen was cooking. And it's done now.

So bye ^_^

what is it about me that makes me so ditchable?

it's been like two weeks since a plan hasn't fallen through.

except with josh we always hang out as planned.


still i wish i was a priority for at least one night.

friday night, parents out of town.

"i'll call you right back" turns into "sit on your chair and wait for me to call you for six and a half hours"


lame
