So today was my last day of training for the new job.  Sunday I start my "real" shift, and meet the team to which I've been assigned.  I'm excited because it means now I get to show what I can do and have a chance to earn bonuses and such.  Honestly though, I know it will be a month or two until I work out all the bugs and get call times more in ( Read more... )

Right, so just to make sure this important fact is not lost in the body of this post (And I need to say for the record this was not solicited or in any way a bribe to get more baked, uber-snackage.  Sincerely.)...

My sister is awesome...

Over the holidays, she baked and mailed me stuff so I'd have non-store-bought deliciousness to snack upon.  And it ( Read more... )

...be the most boring week of posts from me.  Apartment this, apartment that.  Temporarily broke.  Renter's insurance.  Move-in date.  Blah, blah, blah.   *laugh*

Unfortunately (or not, depending on how you look at it), it's taking up the lion's share of my time.  The only other thing really noteworthy, is that the ' h ' key on my laptop seems to be ( Read more... )

So, yeah, my leasing agent (Lauren) called me to tell me that I'm their newest resident at the apartment complex.  She asked briefly about a prior address I had, and then assured me that there were no other problems.. "my credit was great".

Ummmm, really?  I didn't know what to say to that.  I was surprised she got back to me so quickly.  And NOW ( Read more... )

So yeah.

Apartment.

I filled out the application and I'm waiting to see if my significant lack of a credit score is going to prevent me from having it.  It's a freaking amazing place.  Very posh.  Stone tile in the kitchen and bath.  Granite counter tops.  Cherry cabinetry.  Double paned glass in all the windows.  Garden tub.

Oh my god, just thinking ( Read more... )

Kylie Minogue has a show in dallas in May.  A show.  IN DALLAS.

I got an email from ticketmaster telling me that tickets for this show go on sale saturday.  The DECENT (not "OMG GOOD!") seats are over $100.  And honestly, I'm totally going.  I already asked the training staff at work how likely it would be for me to be able to get that day off.  ( Read more... )

Sorry about the title, it's an in-joke of some kind belonging to a new acquaintance of mine.  In his version, the word between 'tick' and 'tock' still started with an 'f', but it wasn't 'freaking'.  He explained it's origin to me, but we were both semi-crocked, so either he didn't explain it well, or I was having concentration problems.  *grin*

It's actually shaping up to be a busy weekend.  After work yesterday (first day taking live calls!) I headed over to my favourite bar and chatted with my favourite bartender (he is SO cute).  I had fun, and ended up talking to a nice older gentleman in the next seat.  We started talking by being curious about each other's phone.  *laugh*

So yeah, it was a weird and surprising day.

Last night it snowed.  It's an uncommon enough occurrence that it made me happy to stare out at it for several minutes (until the cold outweighed the mystery).  I went to bed and when I woke up this morning there was a text message from my trainer that due to road conditions the call center was opening ( Read more... )
