Well well well
I couldn't think of a subject line so that's what you get.
I was extremely productive this morning. I got up a little earlier because I had to take Minou to the vet to get her first distemper shot. We were in and out in 10 minutes. It was fabulous. Then I came home and read the last chapter for this week's reading for class and wrote responses to the 3 DQs due today. I totally BSed the last question, but I'm sure that it is probably the best response of the three. We'll see how my classmates respond.
Weather was kind of fickle today. We were under a severe thunderstorm watch but nothing ever came of it. We did have a good storm roll through so that was nice.
I have no open claims. *knock on wood* Though my crazy New York claim is haunting me again. I'll call the guy tomorrow and tell him no, what I offered him is final, and that comes from Bonnie.
So new CSRs are starting training on Monday. Which means that shift bid is right around the corner. But I doubt I'm going to move. Because what I've heard is that you have to ask to be put on days and everyone else has already and I really don't care what my shift is so if I stay on 12 to 9, oh well. Besides, one of the new CSRs speaks my language and I have a feeling kinda likes me. We'll see about that though.
So other than that, nothing really, as always. Plan for tonight is to go home, check my classroom responses and probably post a couple responses of my own in order to take care of that participation requirement, then veg out to after the news sitcoms, like I do every night. God, my life is too freakin' predictable.
Until next time, ever onward!!
