Work Musing

Sometimes work sucks, (like the rant I did yesterday) and then something happens that makes it better. Very few times do I feel apprectiated at work. Mostly I feel overworked and very underappreciated. Today is not one of those days. I usually work landline Directory assistance. That is my scheduled work group. They know that when they need me they can page and send me to Wireless to take those calls. I enjoy the change, and the varity moving between the 2 groups allows. Everytime one of the RGMs pages me to go over they seem so happy that I am someone they can count on to move.

Today I got paged from a supervisor while taking wireless calls. She informed me that they are asking specific operators recommended by the supervisors on wireline DA to primarily take Florida calls. My supervisor recommended me. That made me feel very appreciated. I agreed to the new format because that means I wont have to take VA or NC or SC calls. Some of the people there can be so rude or just plain stupid. FL isnt much better, but to actually know I am going to be concetrating on one state is nice. They want the better operators taking these calls because there are so many different things for FL. I am honored my supervisor recommended me. It does make me feel special.

A watched pot..

Never boils, and neither does one that you forgot to turn the burner on under. I was in rare form tonight making myself dinner. First I turned on the wrong burner so it started heating up a regular bowl that was on the stove. I turned off that burner and thought I turned on the right burner. I hadnt turned it far enough. 5 minutes later I check to see why isnt it boiling yet and figured out the problem. Fixed that prob, got the water to boil, added the pasta, and then watched it overboil. The end product was good though. :)

While the pasta was boiling I decided to try something, and it came out pretty good. I wanted garlic bread, but still trying to eat healthy. I figured the nofat ICBINB stuff has to be good for something. I took it out and used one serving, then added garlic, onion, and oregeno. Almost fucked it all up when the oregeno top came off and I just poured the stuff on. I was able to dump the excess into the trash, and just keep what was sticking to the non-butter. I mixed it all up and then spread it onto a mini hamburger bun. I put it into the toaster oven and let it toast. Came out really nice. Maybe next time I will melt the stuff alittle so it can soak better into the bread. I just have to realize the nofat stuff is really only good for mixing stuff into. Side note last time I talked about this stuff we got to talking about the ICBINB spray, and I found out that 12.5 sprays is 1g of fat, or 9 calories. Now I have an idea when I use it when I can getting out of the 'no calorie' range.

So tonight I had the healthy harvest wheat pasta with spagetti sauce and some grated cheese, and garlic bread. YUM!
