I mentioned a bit ago the possibility of me joining therealljidol. I’m still leaning kinda sorta semi-towards no, but I’m asking the masses anyway. So, masses, consider yourselves asked.

That whole LJ Idol thing.

Note to self:
Do not read entries posted to techsupport while on a call. Just. don’t.

Friday is lazy, and not just in my world.
So far, I’ve had to fix a grand total of one computer. I had one moron who didn’t like our return policy and thought she’d go all “I wanna speak to your supervisor” on me, I had one who had to send her computer in to have it repaired because, well, she could, and I had a memory issue. There were a couple more, but those were the ones I could actually remember. It’s sufficiently dead round these parts now, and in 4 hours and 16 minutes, I can has weekend. Today’s been going at about a snale’s pace, but that suits my current state of lazy just fine.

Can it be 5:30 yet?
Okay, so it’s not as busy now as it was earlier. And they actually managed to fix their shit over in I/T so I can, you know, throw an hour or so’s worth of notes into their miserably crafted database system of doom. And now I have a minute and a half or thereabouts to throw yet another random entry up here. What was that I was saying about substantive posts coming to a LJ near you? Yeah, well, I lied.

*headdesk*
It’s noon. Our busiest or damn near it time of the freaking day. And I’m writing all my case notes in wordpad, because ooh look, for the second day this week our actual record keeping software has decided to take a rather family sized crap. Just what I need to add to the excitement of an already insane busy thursday.
Dear beloved employer: what the hell were you thinking, and can you please stop?

10 points and a cookie of uber awesomeness if you can actually process this email without suffering a small stroke.

I can has weekend naow?
I don’t think I’ve ever not wanted to wake up more in my goddamn life. Funny thing is, I’m not tired… just… eh. It’s one of those things where you know you have a crap ton of things you have to do today, and the simple act of thinking about it makes you wanna go fall back into bed. The up side of course is tomorrow’s friday. The down side? … Um, it’s not today.
Last night was quite amusing/entertaining/whatever else all rolled into so many degrees of awesome. Got a little RP out of the way (we’ll finish that tonight, momallrat, remind me), then killed the rest of it having another rather interesting conversation. Some things were said that needed to be, and a few more that maybe should have been were left alone, but all in all it was quite enjoyable. I then of course went to bed, and promptly died. It’s gonna feel real damn good when I don’t have to move before 9. At the earliest. And now, work calls to me. Bastard. I wanna sleep. But instead… I go.
PS: More substantive posts in near future. I promise. Although it may require me considering joining that stupid LJ idol thing.

It’s the 8 minutes and I’m home free dance!
… And I’d much rather sit on my lazy ass and watch the clock. Definitely used to this employment thing.

Wo. Almost 1:30 already?
I gotta give Microsoft credit. Nothing quite like reinstalling windows for 3 separate customers to make 3/4 the day go by like nobody’s business. Say, can somebody with a Dell call in to have Vista’s SP1 installed, then bitch up a fuss until they get referred specificly to me? I wanna go home on time. That’ll do it.

I’m still not quite awake.
wednesday has apparently become the day of the creative start to a morning. I ended up oversleeping *just* slightly, and still threw myself together in plenty of time to get to work and not be late; I had 10 minutes to spare, which actually makes up for yesterday, thankyaverymuch. And pretty much from the time I started until about, oh, say, now, it’s been pretty fucking close to being busy. At one point we actually had upwards of 10-15 people on hold. even on a busy day we don’t get that much action that early… I managed to contribute quite heavily to cutting that number in half, though. And now, tonight, the plan is not to cook. Ordering in FTW! … I’ve been threatening to do so for about a week now. I’m due.
PS: If certain people appologise for keeping me up late last night and thus contributing to the slight oversleeping, there will be had a lengthy conversation. I’d of probably overslept anyway… me = lazy. Me = liking of the sleep. Chance of oversleeping = extremely likely. Chance of it being by choice? Definitely a distinct possibility.
