Damn

Why the fuck wont this headache go away? Oh wait, maybe because it is a tension headache? My back, neck and the back of my head are tight and sore. I can barely turn my head without pain. This just bites.

Today's doofus call:
ME: "Is that a residence?"
Customer: "No it is a person."

Today's annoying call.
We have screen codes to tell us what kind of calls a customer gets. This guy comes in wanting long distance info when he only gets local. I informed him that he has to dial 1-areacode-555-1212. He tells me that in the time it took me to find the area code for him I could have just looked up the number and if he calls right back he would eventually get an operator that would look up the number. Yes that would happen cause I have coworkers that DONT LOOK AT THE DAMN SCREEN., (but that is another rant) So I preceded to inform him that he is cheating our company because he is trying to pull one over on us. He got all high and mighty about how he cant be called a CHEAT. WEll, I call them like I see them. He has been told he has to call 1-areacode-555-1212 for all LONG DISTANCE information. If he continues to call 411 to try and get long distance info then he is trying to cheat my company. Simple! He couldnt see that though. *shudders* I really wish he hadnt hung up on me. I so wanted to say more.

I think that is one of my problems with tension. There is so much I want to say to my *lovely* customers and I cant. Writing about it helps but not enough. I wish I could just speak my mind. I cant though. It would cause me to get fired. Sometimes these idiots though.

At least I got alittle levity with a cellular customer who wanted to go and party with me. :) The cellular customers at times are alot better. If I could hear them better I might actually change offices. *hmm* That is a thought.

Daily Dose

Didnt get my pay stub today. I am glad I have direct deposit. I get to pay bills this week. What fun. :) Should be fine though. More money coming in than going out is always a good thing.

Long day today, but I already ranted about that. Caritas made dinner which was pretty good. Something new with bisquick and hamburger. Hit the spot. I went for some nice stress food at work, Chocolate!

I have gotten some holiday cards. I havent gotten any out though. Just have not been feeling well at all. Starting to get alittle better. I didnt have to sleep the whole day away today to feel functional.

Jeshua and I stopped at at store today and got some stocking stuffers. :) We got some cool things I think. I need to wrap those. I still have to find some stuff for Phaeton's stocking. I need to separate what I do have to see how many things for each person I have. I am not going to count with the stockings though to make sure things are even. I am not that anal. *grins*

Ok, soon it is time to head off to get Phaeton and date night.

Kitty Problems

I am not good with stress that is directly related to me and my family. When something starts to go wrong I FREAK! Today something almost went very wrong.

I was carrying in stuff from the car and Mr Melodie Man (shithead) scooted out into the yard. Usually we can catch him fairly quickly and toss him back inside. Today he had other ideas. He trotted beside the house and down the fence line. He went into the small area between the fence and our next door neighbor's garage. I followed for a really tight squeeze. I went as far as I could, but then my way was blocked with 3 fence posts He was able to get by them and into the junk yard area of the yard. I called pleaded with him to come back to me. I yelled with panic full in my voice to Jeshua and he ran. He got treats and we tried shaking them. I saw my cat run across an area and out of my sight. I ran out and then around the street to see if he went between the yards. Finally I hear Jeshua yell that he has him. I am almost in tears. I need a hug and then I took Mr Melodie Man from Jeshua. I smacked him lightly across the nose then hugged him tight as he growled alittle. I got into the house and wouldnt put him down. I buried my face in his fur as I tried to calm down.

His punishment consisted of him having to eat in the same room with the other 3 cats. He usually gets his food in the kitchen, and the other 3 get fed in the dining room. I also think it will be a week before he gets another car ride. Melodie doesnt wear a collar, but he is chipped, so that would be good. The humane society would have a record of his chip since we got him from them. Of course that wouldnt have mattered if he never got taken to the humane society. He could have headed out to broadway and gotten hit by a car. *whine* *breathe* But he is home and safe after only about 15 minutes of scare. It felt alot longer though.
