This is me. it's really because I'm so mentally checked out of the current place and this week has been an abundance of some real dumb shit from corporate coupled with customers being stupid. I'm just tired of listening to people bitch about their car insurance price as if I have any control over it.

I've been in these situations so much over the last 15 years on and off so I relate so much. Take pride in the fact you are taking steps to change , instead of just complaining that things will never change. Change is scary , it's hard and intimidating but its worth every effort. If you ever need to vent or chat my inbox is open

Word and thanks. Funny thing is, I had to call off the first phone interview for this job. My coworker called off work and with only two of us no way could I get free. They were kind enough to reschedule. I was thinking of not doing it because I thought I'd go with the BDC Sales job. The day after I did the phone interview I got the request for the in person interview and was shocked. I mean, no formal education for IT, no experience, and I'm getting the next step. During the interview and the tour I was getting excited but real nervous like holy shit, I'm moving away from sales/service even though IT Help Desk does share some of those characteristics.

When I got to work on Wednesday it was like my eyes opened up more. Now in fairness, I had missed a few days of meds but listening to my idiot coworker, customers complaining over the stupidest things, and being told if I couldn't make this guy's payment a certain amount he was leaving I'm just like, I gotta get out of this. Some people have no issues handling this stuff but it's too overwhelming for me. My wife is trying so much to encourage me that I got this because why else go thru with the tour and show me where the department is moving to. I sure hope so.

I have a Shiba and if he has ANYTHING stuck to his butt/buttfur he Shiba screams and freaks out like I'm torturing him. So I have had to do similar things many times...

Weird feeling moment:

I knew this girl in middle school. She was always a rough kid and most of us didn't like her, but it was a small school so she came to most gatherings back then. Had her on my facebook, but I think I unfollowed her a couple years back since she was always giving these long weird rants lashing out at everyone (not me, since I never posted on her fb) and the world.

Got a pop up on FB that today is her bday. Clicked it thinking, "I should wish her a happy bday since I don't normally post on her page." Found out she passed away almost a year ago, with what I am gathering was a suicide.

Kinda feel bad for her. Considering what I know of her mom and what I remember of her, she didn't stand a chance in this world. But she also left behind a daughter, too (not sure how old, want to say teenager maybe).

It's sad.

"I'll just go but the phone in person," I said
"It'll be easier that way," I said

Two hours, a wasted bus trip, and a couple of fucking awful Best Buy "employees" (and I use that term loosely as they didn't know shit and didn't want to help) later, and I now know how wrong I was

This week is my Spring Break and we just finished off our huge massive visit from the state of CA of which I was in charge of (went fabulously). I thought I could now have a restful vacation now that it's over with.

Nope.

Boss just called and asked if I could come in on Monday to help with a suspension report that the AP didn't finish. Idk how to say, "No," to my boss, and I don't even know fucking why she is asking me since I know fuck all about their suspension stuff since I am not office personnel.

I'm gonna get a stipend for my work, so at least there's that.

Last time I was on vacation my supervisor sent out a staff email that I didn’t respond to because I was on vacation. While I was out, he had a stroke and almost died. He was in the hospital recovering for over a week. I never responded because by the time I was back to work he was recovering in the hospital still. Fast forward a couple weeks later and he was back and then in a staff meeting he called me out for never responding to his email, and not in a joking way. I was like wtf dude I was on vacation and then you were almost dead, it didn’t seem important anymore. He was still upset I never replied.

If their "training" for phone sales was anything like mine when I worked at Radioshack a decade back, it ultimately consisted of being given a sheet with some price plans for the services and nothing else. So, I wouldn't be too hard on them, especially when it comes to knowing the specs of a wall full of phones if you were trying to get an upgrade. But yeah, always go to an official store or order from them directly so you can at least get a line on tech support.

Attempt at #2 to get free legal aid. My dad has way too much in liquid assets and my morning of driving downtown and sitting in a line was greeted by denial.

Now time to hire an attorney ugh

How the shit in 2019 I cannot make a custom soundtrack for Madden 2019 on PC of all systems when I could do that back in the mid 00's on the original Xbox is beyond me.

I usually just mute the music volume on sports games and play my own music using another app.

I usually enjoy the play by play while playing games even if it is repetitive. But with this one, yeah, may just run plex in the background.

Not even 11 am and this week has already been the absolute drizzling shits, and not even just for me. Yesterday was almost nothing but complaints or payment problems. I had this conversation today. Yes, this really happened.

Guy: I got a letter saying I owe $312 for the six month policy. Why did I get a cancellation notice?
Me: I'm not sure why you would've received a cancellation. Your due date is 04/26/2019.
Guy: OK, but why do I have a bill?
Me: Because you haven't paid for your policy yet. That's the amount owed.
Guy: I guess I'm confused.
silence
Guy: So why do I owe this money again?
Me: Because that is your bill. Your due date is 04/26/2019.
Guy: OK thank you.

Head. Desk.
