Don't it always seem to go...

That you don't know what you got til it's gone. Ok, maybe that's a bit extreme...nothing is gone. He just went to Chicago for a dance audition for the next Johnny Depp movie, but when he's not around, I miss him. Granted, it's only a matter of hours, but it's becoming that hormonal time of month, so it's worse.
I've been really crabby today. I was supposed to go with him, but we wanted to leave work early, when we go to work and talked to the lady that does the scheduling, she said that Jessie could leave and hour early and still be ok with the attendance policy, but since I already have 2 points and mine and Jessie's 60 day probationary periods aren't up, I couldn't leave that early. So when I got to my desk, I just had this unnerving and unhappy feeling. Then my first break came and Jessie was down in the break room telling our old trainer about the audition, and he was smiling and his happy go lucky self, came over to me, and I reached out, then he hugged me, and I felt better. I told him I had put my camera on his desk so he'd take pictures. Knowing him, they're probably won't be any pics, for one because he usually forgets, and for two, I left it on video mode and I don't think he knows how to switch it off that, lol.
We're going on 9 months now, we don't really have an actual date of when we started dating because we had just been talking a lot everyday, and one of those days I was on the phone with him and he just called me his girlfriend, I didn't protest, so we ended up dating without the official asking each other out part. So it's going to be a year around the end of June (beginning of July according to him).

More on my crabby mood...I was good for a while, even through my QA evaluations, which I made 100's on...then about 15 minutes before work was over, this lady calls, didn't even know which magazine she was calling for specifically, first she said puzzle world, which I later found out was world of puzzles. She gave me a zip code, and two address, which I tried, and weren't the right ones. Then she started mentioning another magazine, that I couldn't find anyone under. Then she got angry with me for not bringing her up on file because the last person she talked to found her right away, well, it turned out she was talking about world of puzzles and she hadn't given me the right zip code to start with. Then she was angry because the person hadn't been receiving anything, she start insulting my intelligence and lack of experience with magazines. I couldn't find her replacement order either, then I found out it had been reshipped, she just kept digging into how I didn't know what I was doing, asking if I needed a supervisor to help me. The bottom line was, she was telling me some long roundabout story, not telling me what was really going on and what she wanted done about it. I spent 12 minutes on the phone with her, after which I sent her to a supervisor that spent 10 minutes with her. I wanted to pull mine and her hair out.
The more I work for magazine companies, the more understanding I've become of my own subscriptions, I understand the time frames, the bills that come after you've sent in your payments, the fact that it's been a month and you haven't received that gift they promised you with the subscription, dear god people, read the fine print, 6-8 weeks for delivery, if it's a magazine that comes out 4 times a year, well, hell yeh it's going to take a few months to get to you, are you daft?
Sorry, just needed to vent a bit...
