Title: Sigh...
Post by: Dawn on March 12, 2005, 07:25:25 AM
Ya' know, I've been in customer service basically my entire career.  It's something I do very well, but you know, the thought of working in a manufacturing plant with items that don't talk back is starting to look more and more appealing to me.  I just don't know if they'll pay as much as I'm getting now.

Keep beating a dog long enough their eventually going to bite you or run away.  Let's see what Monster has today.

I hate my job too.  I just keep pursuing my writing and hope for a break there that will someday release me.  Hang in there Dawn.  At least the 200 is on!
Oh, wait.  You're at work.  Sorry.  Didn't mean to rub it in! ;D

I'm just fried... thats all. Completely burned out and crying at my desk.    :'(

Damn I need a vacation, but it's mandatory overtime through April.

Well.... Now back to reviewing legal documents between phone calls.

Gawd!  You know those bikes are coming off the track red hot and just stinking of hot rubber and exotic fuels.  I need smellavision!
(I'm jonesing so bad that I can barely stand to be in the same room with myself, and my wife is having to put up with my constant yelling!)
Watching the on-bike from Pridmore lighting up the tire and fishtailing as the motor goes "ROOOOAWOOORAAAWOOOORAAAWOOOO" from the wheelspin.  Oooooohhhh!
Man, this is my first chance to even see bike racing since last year.  How can this NOT be more popular than NASCAR?  It's just so crazy to watch these guys ride!

OK....

... I'm smiling now.  Those legal papers can just wait until Monday.   ;D

I sent an e-mail to my supervisor a while ago.  It should be an interesting conversation.

No.....

It's not THAT bad!  I come into work today only to find in my e-mail that three additional people are leaving the call center on top of the X number that we have lost already.  I've always been the rock here, my goodness, if I'm burned out, I can only imagine how others are feeling.  When people were feeling stressed out, they would come to me for encouragement.  The only sad thing is I can't pull my own rear out of this funk.

I was wrong about making a deal with the devil in the other thread. With comments like these to a person stuck at work, I have concluded that you probably are the devil. Therefore making it impossible to make a deal with yourself. ;D ;D ;D

Just trying to help you out. I mean you say you are fried and he rubs it in with bike racing. Pretty harsh. If he wasn't twice my size or so, I would hold him down so you could take out your frustration on him. lol

Hey I know!

You and Paul can hold him down (Paul's close to his size) and then I can tickle him until he says "uncle".  If we need a little more help, I'm sure Don Cook will too (he's just a bit lighter than Paul I would imagine).

That sounds like a plan. Maybe we could do this as the opener for our proposed death match.

Dawn is my teammate and track mom.  If you can't torture your best friends, who CAN you torture?
Besides, I was just trying to help her make it to quiting time!  I could have signed off earlier, but I didn't want Dawn to be alone on the forum....

I'm still at work...

"Watched" the 200 from Livewire.

Called Steve Janisch after the first pit stop just to see what what going on from the pit lane...

Nice to see the boy finish, and finish well...

Today...

Speaking of customer service...

I'm a service advisor.  I am supposed to have some control of stuff, but it's just a mess at this place.  Stupid, stupid, stupid...

I want out.  

Machines talking back?  I don't know.  They are loud, aren't they?  I like a little social interaction.  Seem to be gifted with customers in difficult situations.  Not sure why...maybe I've been in enough of them that I can really feel what they are going through.  

Buy a school with Dave...

If not...well, I should just keep my ideas to myself.  Might even be a bit quieter this year.
