And it starts...
11:06am on Sunday, and I'm sorting through the fax log to see what I need to enter this morning.
Oh look! I’ve received 4 faxes!
Fax #1 – received yesterday after deadline - no price on the listing, so I can’t enter it.
Fax #2 – also received yesterday after deadline - blank. 2 pages, both blank. Did someone forget which way to enter their fax into the machine?
Fax #3 – received today - no price on the listing. Different listing, different agent, different office… same stupidity.
Fax #4 – received today - “Second attempt” at faxing over a 2 page change… I’m not seeing a first attempt. Makes me wonder if it’s the same person as Fax #2 and that person is now trying to shift blame by saying we didn’t do her change yesterday…
Seriously? WTF guys. Is it THAT difficult to fax over correct AND complete information?
Put the computer back in the box and...
Had to walk a guy though plugging a PS/2 mouse in.
Had to explain... slowly and carefully... what an address bar and how to type in a url.
Told a woman to close out of her internet window... and she shut her computer down instead. It was installing windows updates.
Best thing? All we needed to do was turn off the bloody pop-up blockers and change one security setting... but I HAD to stay on the line with her to make sure she was able to get in correctly, which meant waiting until she could restart the computer...
Thank you LionMan
Apparently my alibi is that I’m out brushing trees and making them purr.
Reminder to self... no killing management. Oh wait, I have an alibi!
My team lead forgot to mail my hours worksheet to HR…. which means that I wouldn’t get paid for over half my working hours. NOT HAPPY. Luckily he CC’d me on the email asking where the hell my worksheet was, since he KNOWS that I fill it out and turn it in every two weeks... I've never forgotten... maybe because I like to actually GET PAID! But since my team lead was out, I had to email it to him, and copied her on it so she knew that I did her job for her.
Did I get a response back from her? A sorry or a thank you? Of course not.
My patience is running thin
I told a woman that if she didn't stop clicking on things and wouldn't let me help her, she would need to call back when she was really to actually listen. She got really quiet... and then sheepishly asked what she should be doing next.
My life is a soap opera
I went to visit my friend Lee on Wednesday since I had the day off and since he was visiting family in Michigan... he's from Michigan but he's been in Missouri for the past 8 months or so staying with his dad, since dad's not doing too well. Lee's not doing too well either... he had a liver transplant earlier this year and he's had complications.
Anyway, he's in town, so I visit.
Problem: Lee's in love with me.
Solution? Lee's crazy ex was also visiting him... her mom died last week and he didn't want to be mean to her... but she thinks that she & Lee are still somehow together even though they broke up MONTHS ago and she's been told to go away more times than I can count. Women is really crazy.
But... it meant that Lee had a chaparone. Since he made it clear that he loves me and would do anything for me... I'm glad I wasn't alone with him. I trust him, but things would have gotten uncomfortable. Because I'm dating my silly English Birdie and I don't want anyone else.
Home now, heating pad on back (bed last night wasn't the most comfortable) and pie in my stomach. I'm NOT going out shopping tomorrow...

the way you told the woman like she was 5 that you wouldn't help until she listened. THAT was beautiful.
