Finally A Moment To Myself!
And I shall take that short moment to update this thingy. You know since it has been a while since my last update, so heres whats new with me.
My training at the ICT call center is now finished and for the last couple of days I have been on the floor taking calls. You know what, they were right, no matter what you can get 100% on each and every test in training but once you get on the floor and start taking calls you are not perpared in the slightest. My first day on the floor started off awful, taking only two calls in the first hour, with my hand being up for help about a dozen times between them. Thankfully this really nice girl was sitting next to me and she helped me out quite a bit that day. Before I left I made sure to tell her how thankful I was for all of her help that day and that she was a Saint. She just smiled, laughed and said no problem, and that it would get easier all the time.
What do you know she was right. Today altough I still had my hand up for nearly every call I was much better at it. In fact today I did better then I ever did. I took 19 calls with a hour and a half of hold time. Yeah I know only taking 19 calls and having a hour and a half of hold time in a 8 hour shift which includes a 45 minute dinner break and two 15 minute breaks besides isnt great but hey Im still new give me time. Thankfully Im on a temperory part time contract until the end of September. Most likely they will try to get me to stay afterwards but I dont think thats going to happen. I think I will just take the lay off. Which means by the end of September, I need to get some serious over time in on my job to have all 420 hours thats needed. I have about 120 now from the first 3 weeks of the job, I have 5 weeks left until my contract is over so doing the math I'll have about 320 hours by the end of setember on my regular shifts which mean I need to find another 100 hours somewhere in the next five weeks to get that EI again. Its a scary thought, I'll tell you one thing thats not scary though, the $12 for every hour I work overtime. Once again if I do the math that equals out to about $1200 in my pocket. If I can pull this off it will be so sweeeeeeet!!! But enough talk about work for now lets talk about the more fun stuff.
Since the last time I updated this thing I have been getting money on a regular basis and am not broke anymore which means I bought stuff! Wahooo!!! What stuff did I buy you may ask? Well I'll be glad to tell you. I bought 4 DVDs, which are The Osbournes Season 2 1/2, Ren And Stimpy The 1st and 2nd Seasons (One set), Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker, and the big one....Sin City! Oh man that movie was so freckin awesome! It instantly shot up into my top 5 all time favorite movies! Not sure what they are but Sin City is one of them. Also I bought it at Future Shop on the first day it came out so I got a free Sin City shot glass as well! Granted I dont drink enough to use it but its cool to have on my bookshelf. Thats not all I got though, I also bought a Monty Python CD called "Monty Python Sings" pick it up if you ever see it, its one of the funniest things you will ever have a chance to hear. Also I got 4 new graphic novels, The Uncanny X-Men: Poptpoia, I saw it around a bunch of times but was never intrested enough to buy it but then I saw it for $2.50 so I said well even if it does suck its worth it, I also got Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of The Sin City comic. Im buying one a week now until I get them all, and since there are 7 of them I guess I will be buying them for another 4 weeks. Fun stuff.
I cant really think of what else to say. Im tired as hell and its 3:30 in the morning and I have work tommorow at 11:30 in the morning. I plan to get up at 10:00 so I can get some decent food into before I leave for work as well since Im not going to be home until after SummerSlam tommorow night which isnt until around 12:30, Im going to be hungry enough by then anyways even with one meal before work so I dont want to think about it without food. Sadly I think I will go it without food because I think my want for sleep will over ride the want for fod at 10:00 tommorow morning. Sigh. I wish I had a day off. Unfortunally Im not getting one until this Thursday, which will bring it up to 10 days in a row where I work. ouch. I do indeed hate work, and then when I think about all of that overtime that I want to get as well....man its gonna be harsh until the end of September.
