 i actually bit a tiny piece of my tongue *off* this morning. i was chewing gum and talking on the phone at the same time and misjudged the distance between my teeth and the side of my tongue. CRUNCH! 

my boss asked me to go to texas for a week or two in august or september to help with stuff in a file room out there. i have had horror stories about that place. everyone who goes out there has nothing but bad shit to say when they get back. i would get free food, hotel room, airfare and a bit of overtime. plus pay for travel time. urrrrrgh, i dunno. i have a while to decide. i can tell him as late as one week before the trip if i want to go.

 I'm considering waiting tables. Boy oh boy I never thought I'd say that.

It's my fault that someone named Sue Cox sent titles to the Dothan Branch in May of  2000.

My hair is bright bright red red and I love love it it

 I have nearly been pushed to my limit today.

I need to update my resume.

I'm not overreacting. I'm not going to leave this job before I have something equal to it or better than it secured. I am tired of unfair treatment. I am tired of people not working when their supposed to and causing me to be bogged down with more crap on top of my already overwhelming responsibilities. What kind of office operates like this, with people just waltzing in at 2pm and then leaving at 4pm and not ever making up their hours. If the absences didn't affect my workload, I wouldn't give half a shit about this. But it DOES affect me. And it's causing me to get behind on my work. Because I have been here less time than the people in question, I know that they won't get in trouble for doing this shit. But I, however, will get in trouble.

Amanda, can you do this for me? I have to go pick up Trecia from her sewing class. (wtf?)

Amanda, can you handle this for me? I have to go get an oil change. (again, wtf? do this when you get off work, maybe? fuck off!)

Amanda, can you research this for me? I have to go pick up Trecia and drop her at her aunt's house in Roebuck.

What fucking kind of place pays people to work full time hours when they're only working like 15 hours a week?! How about... you have a fucking responsibility to be HERE doing your fucking JOB. So quit making fucking excuses and fucking show up for work at least 3 out of the 5 fucking days that you're supposed to be here.

I am so far behind right now, I don't think it's possible to get caught up. I'm getting a phone call about shit I'm working on (for other people, mind you) every 3 minutes. Car titles are missing from files, entire files are missing from the shelf, and I'm being held responsible for all of it. I complained about all this shit before, they said they would remedy it.... did they? Nope. Why would they? Why do I matter? I'm just the "new girl," after all. 

Does anyone know of anywhere that's hiring right now that doesn't have shitty pay?

hi,

my name is ms. idiot loan officer. i don't know how to type/write the correct account number onto request forms when i send them to amanda. this, in turn, makes amanda's job more difficult, which is becoming my one and only goal in my day to day life. i know that i could make her job easier if i just double checked the number before i send the form to her, but where's the fun in that? i would much rather get email after email from her, asking me for the correct information... so i can be snippy with her in my response and act as thought my moronic behavior is all her fault!


apparently, in my workplace, this is the legend that i must use in order to be able to do my job.

6 = 9 
9 = 8
4 = 5
5 = 0
2 = 1
8 = 6

this legend is based solely on typos that were on requests i received TODAY. in less than 8 hours, there have been that many typos. 5 different loan officers, 6 different mistakes. 

i can't help but laugh about it, though. these people are making probably twice what i make in a year, and i'm doing twice the amount of work... because they don't know how to do their jobssssssssssss!

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!

i know this post probably makes no sense to anyone, but i had to vent about this bullshit. it's so absurd. so, so absurd, and it happens nearly every day.

she was my cousin and one of the best friends i have ever had. we grew up together and i wrongly assumed that we would grow old together. not a day goes by that i don't miss her like crazy. 






i feel like i should plant something for her today.

don't do drugs. they really do kill.


it's hard not to cry today. my mom sent me an email reminding me that this is the 8 year anniversary. as if i would have forgotten. i can't stay focused on my work. i don't know if it's normal to still be this sad about it.

I protest! I am not a merry man!

  • Jun. 2nd, 2008 at 12:31 PM

i want to go home.

i hate this place so much right now. i'm irritable and one of my co-workers is pushing around this cart that has wheels that are squeaking like nails on a chalkboard. i want to punch someone in the face.

i need to lose weight. i need to do it right now. no more coke, pepsi, mountain dew, anything for me. there is too much sugar in those. i need to start exercising... walking or jogging would suffice. i  must buy some shoes that are good for it..

i keep dying my hair black to cover up the pink, but it keeps washing out and my hair starts to turn purple.. frustrating. if i had known it would be this much trouble to keep my hair a natural color, i would have just left it  pink.

i hope the next disc of DS9 shows up today. WORF!

oh godddddddd

so.... apparently if i am vomitting blood and in excruciating abdominal pain, i need to understand that i have a job to do and that "the world doesn't stop just because i have a tummy ache." i will be constantly reminded of how my absence inconvenienced my coordinator and other coworkers.

however... if my coordinator has the shits for two days because she ate "bad fish" or if her grandfather has minor surgery (on his foot, mind you) that went well with absolutely no complications, or if her father has the "creeping crud" and "doesn't feel like going to the pharmacy to get medicine," it is fine for her to be absent. i get the stink eye because i am in pain and afraid that i'm dying. she gets to randomly be out of the office for piddly little lame ass reasons. i seriously am considering looking into a transfer to another department. i am so tired of her double standards. and her fake sympathy. she doesn't give a shit about my health. all she cares about is that i'm here to lessen her workload.

people like that can fuck right off. i'm all about being accepting of other people and their personalities, but when someone just seems to have a black heart and no soul, i have no tolerance for that. i don't expect my coworkers to bend over backwards for me right now, but i do expect some courtesy, understanding and a little bit of fucking respect. i work my ass off in this place every day and right now i'm being treated like i show up to work and eat gum drops and play with baby unicorns all day long. i like my job and i like my coworkers, but i cannot stand being treated like this by someone who has zero work ethic and spends most of her shift outside taking extended smoke breaks. I'm not usually one to go running to HR about anything, but this is really steering me in that direction. full speed ahead.

I heard "Crazy Train" on my way to work this morning and now I can't get it out of my head. Not a bad song to have stuck in your head, but still. This has been going on for like 6 hours. 

I was supposed to get a phone at my desk because my job is very phonecall-heavy and it is a serious time-waster to have to go to someone else's desk to use their phone to get my work done. Today, I was informed by our office manager that because I got behind on my work, they will not be getting me a phone until probably next month at the earliest. So, to sum up the situation:

---I was told that I would be getting a phone at my desk to prevent me from getting behind on my work.

---I was then told that I would not be getting a phone because I got behind on my work.

Ahh, work. How I love thee!

Seriou sly, wtf.

I'm responsible at my job for something called "reworks." That is when an old account number is reworked into a new account number. I do reworks when I receive notification to do them. Today, I was pretty much SCOLDED because I hadn't done a rework for a particular account. Problem is, I never received a notification. The people who send out the notifications tend to allow them to just sit and sit and sit on their desks, then one day send all of them to me at once. This is a problem. Sometimes, if something is not reworked in a timely fashion, someone will release collateral back to the customer when all that was supposed to happen was that it was to be transferred into a new account.

If I am doing my end of the job, but the people upstairs are being lazy and not sending me notifications so I KNOW to do a rework... I am ALWAYS the one who comes out looking like an ass. I am the one who gets blamed. I am the one who is "slacking." I tried to defend myself, but nobody seems to be listening. What the fuck ever.

Better than cake.

Follow up to my previous post. Another musical gem. Note the fantastic incorporation of the word "fancyfree" into this beautiful piece of art.  And how often do you hear the term "super treat" used so effectively? I dare you to read this and not weep tears of joy at its overwhelming, staggering beauty.


 [Chorus]
You're my pop-si-cle!
From the very first time I met you, Girl, you captured me
You're my pop-si-cle!
All I know is that you make me feel so fancyfree.

Gonna love you for a lifetime
And I know you're gonna love me too
You make me feel, feel so real
And it feels so good, through and through

Sweeter than candy
Better than cake
And everytime we kiss
It feels oh so great

Girl, can't you see?
You're the one, you're the one for me!

[Chorus]

When I call you up on my favorite party line
You sound so sweet, Girl. You're blowing my mind
Our love is much better than any other I know
And it keeps on growing, more and more

Girl, can't you see?
You're the one, you're the one for me!

[Chorus]

POP POP POP POP POP POPSICLE!

Hey, hey, little girl with your pretty dress on
I've been wanting you to want me for my whole life long
You knock me off my feet, girl, you're a super treat
When I see you in the street you make my heart skip a beat

You're the one who makes me feel alright
When I look into your eyes, you know you're really out of sight
I'm for you and you're for me
We could stay together so easily

POP POP POP POP POP POPSICLE!

Girl, can't you see?
You're the one, you're the one for me!

[Chorus ]

POP POP POP POP POP POPSICLE!
[repeat to fade out]
