I'm not sure why the trend has started, but started it has. Every day I have that doesn't require me to go to work the next morning sucks. Last weekend wasn't so hot and Monday night was miserable. Today started off with an angry customer demanding someone at the head of the company and threatening a lawsuit. She was very reluctant to let me even pull up a file to do anything for her. Then the databse went down. We started telling customers to call back in an hour, but the hour passed. I went on first break and called my mom. Yesterday I had gotten a call from an IT job I had applied for, and she had said that she knew the man I had spoken to and would put in a good word for me. Turns out, there are over 100 people applying for the position I was after and my chances are somewhere between nil and nil times infinity cubed. So I went back on the phones and another hour passed. We started saying to call back in two hours. Two hours passed, still no database. Finally about an hour and a half before my shift was over the system came back up. By then, all the customers who had been put off all day were madder than hornets and out for blood. I got through it by telling yself my shift will be over soon; I can go out, enjoy my evening. After work I left and went to the theatre. I had a free ticket that I had goten for participating in a survey at work. All I needed to do was exchage it for a ticket to a specific show: Pirates of the Caribbean II, to be exact. But they were sold out, so I came home. All my stuff is at Adam's -- even my glasses, so I can't see a thing. Work is always so stressful and it is unlikely that I will ever get out of there, but not being at work is increasingly disappointing.
