That's fucked up news alright. :|



Smile: Got out a new chunk of new good applications out today, gotta get back into the groove of this. Think I'll do some follow up calls on Friday perhaps. It kind of hit me that I have about 3 years worth of cash handling/register experience topped off with customer service and sales (to an extent) from my first job, Jiffy Lube... haha, but hey experience. So still trying out for some call center stuff and I'm gonna start applying to every bank everywhere. Bank teller might be a decent gig to have for awhile somewhere, the normal pay sounds better than any job I've had before too even if it's not great. Better than nothing!

Ticked: Revenge of the insomnia last night, I couldn't fall asleep until around 6am (and I was setting my alarm at 10am this week thinking I was fixing my sleep again!) ... I did wake up around 11am though and I'm still chugging along, but definitely feel like shit. Gonna try my best to stay up until night so I don't further mess up my sleep. Eh what am I saying, literally feel like I'm about to fall over, might have to power nap. :(

I also completed my first large order with Amazon, so it's been an incredible week. If the con goes well (which it will) I'll be able to have more similar opportunities. Plus, it doesn't hurt that I'm really really really good looking.
Congrats and Good Luck :D

Ticked: Friend's grandfather died the other day, so that sucks for him and he's now going to a funeral this weekend instead of having a bachelor party. Had to deal with a messy customer situation all day at work. Idiots that mow the grass whacked my front plate and bent it up and half ripped off my bumper, then just left it. Thankfully no damage to my car I could see and I flattened and reattached with fatter screws.

Don't think it was his grass. More like 'the' grass...

I can't imagine why either of these might be true (especially ad revenue, no ads on the site), but they certainly gave me a good laugh.
