So a few weeks ago, the air conditioning in the office went out. It sucked royally. Well, it works now! That’s fantastic. However, they decided that since it’s been really hot outside lately… they’d turn the a/c to 15 deg. FIFTEEN FUCKING DEGREES. You know what you do when it’s 15 degrees out? YOU TURN [...]

Maybe I’m oversensitive…

“If you keep this up, I’m going to have to propose to you!” “…and I’m going to have to turn you down!” This is a conversation I had with one of my customers today. It’s possible that I’m oversensitive, but I always get skeezed out by customers proposing (or threatening to propose) to me. Yes, [...]

Man, I sure picked the wrong day to wear the weak, non-cancer/Alzheimer’s causing deodorant. Let this be an official apology to all of my coworkers. Generally, this stuff cuts it just fine. Not so much when it’s 30 freaking degrees in here.
help, I’m melting!

I just got off the phone with our property management company. She asked if I’d noticed the lack of air conditioning. Surprisingly, yes! The fact that it’s only 10:30 and I’m sweltering did not escape my notice. On Saturday, there was a near-fire in the ventilation system, which is one of those Bad Things, and [...]
Customer Service Tricks

So, I’ve been doing customer service for a Good Long Time. And I’m actually really good at customer service, which often surprises people because I can also be an Angry Person. I’m not, really, it’s just that I amplify any emotion, which makes the angry noticeable. I also laugh a hell of a lot, which [...]

I have SO MUCH WORK to do… Not only do I have a ton of homework to do… but I have a ton of work-work to do. I may have to give up something I enjoy, like sleeping or peeing.
Must be gnomes.

Ok, so I’ve got this coke habit. Conveniently, I refer to the diet carbonated version, and not the kind that goes up my nose. It’s allergy season, I have enough up my nose without putting more in there. So, last week, I bought a 12 pack for work, and put it in the fridge. I’ve [...]
Am obviously being tested.

So, I’ve been working on this “being positive” thing, because am tired of being a cranky bitch all the time. And I’ve been doing pretty well with it, surprisingly enough. But I swear, THE WORLD IS TRYING TO MAKE THIS DIFFICULT. Case in point: This morning, there was a BIG FUCKING SPIDER in the kitchen [...]

It never really occurred to me exactly how brave people who do major career changes are, even if they’re doing them fairly “early” in their careers. 30 doesn’t sound very old, so what if you switch careers at 30? Have you really GOT a career at 30? Well… yeah, I do. And I’m not even [...]

Sitting on my desk at work right now is a copy of Why Men Don’t Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes. Ha-freaking-ha. Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike the “men are X/women are Y” genre? Damn you, John Gray. Look what you’ve started. Men are from earth. Women are from [...]
