I haz internetz. And cable, too.
It took the two gentlemen from the cable company nearly 45 minutes to turn on the cable for two televisions and install the modem; a job I thought they could accomplish in 15 minutes. The younger one insisted on calling me "sweetheart" at every turn. I'm not terribly big on pet names, so it irritated me. As he was leaving, he came back in and gave me a receipt for the work order by saying, "Here you go, sweetheart." I replied, "Thank you, pookie bear." He gave me a weird look and left. Serves him right. Sweetheart, my ass.
I was insanely depressed yesterday for no apparent reason. My mind was inventing reasons to be unhappy. I suspect the dreary weather on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday contributed to my feeling down in the dumps. Watch. I'll develop seasonal affective disorder now that I'm back in this wintery climate. Dammit.
Work is super great. The two women heading the professional development team in the home office had a conference call with me today. They wanted to know if I would mentor/coach someone. They've hired a new girl in an Ohio office and she's working for one of the top producers. He wants her to learn quickly and get registered ASAP. Because I did what they want her to do, they wanted to connect us and have her come to me with any questions. They also want me to steer her in the right direction in regards to studying for the Series 7 exam. I'm totally flattered they thought of me when there are hundreds of other sales assistants in the firm. So, we're all having a conference call tomorrow so they can introduce her to me.
