*insert something clever here*

So today started off horrible! I was upset and pissed off and I took it all out on Sam who really didn't deserve it. But she was able to calm me down, help me out and everything is better now :) She helped me (with less than no help from 'tech support') to get the network set up. Then we took at quick trip to Ikea for lunch and a couple little things. And I just set up my netflix on my wii and I am officially watching tv again! Yay! So hopefully the rest of my night is much better. Sam and I have a date night planned for tonight and I am excited. We don't really get too much time to spend with each other and it is definitely needed :)

But it is nap time!

THE TIME HAS COME!!!

In 30 minutes I will be free from work for two whole days! In the morning I am having cable installed! And if I get the numbers I want, with my second check in April I will have enough money to fund my trip to Atlanta! I AM SO EXCITED!

So we have new kids on the team, I am not sure if I have mentioned this yet or not, but anyway, last night we had our monthly team meeting. It was crazy. I had already met three of the four new people on our team and the fourth is...well he was crazy high! It was ridiculous. Even more funny was when the elder of the team called him out on it. It was a "had to be there moment" but hilarious just the same. I am just glad that I do not have to sit next to him. The girl I am sitting next to now is cool. I think Saskia has good matching skills =P

But man today has been a doosey! Customers have been more outrageous that usual...I may never understand how most people think and I am beginning to think more and more that thinking in an 'abnormal' way is much better. But oh well, my work husband is calling me so I've gotta run :)

AHHHHHHH

So I have always heard the saying that the freaks come out at night. I just want to add that the crazies come out at the end and very beginning of every month. I theorize that this is because that is when they generally get paid and they like to spend their money before its even here...eggs in their basket type of thing. So what am I trying to say? I am saying that if you have a suspended license do not call me and act surprised that I cannot insure you! Do not lie to me about what is on your driving record and then back track like a teenager whose party was busted by the cops and do not call me and expect to pay $20 a month for insurance because that is what you paid in 1975 IT IS 2011 PEOPLE AND YOU HAVEN'T HAD INSURANCE SINCE 1980 WHAT DO YOU REALLY EXPECT?

two days

left until I am free!!!!! For a couple days at least. Today at work was OMG so slow! (Speaking of, did you know that OMG and LOL were added to the dictionary...who is wrong now computer? MWHAHAH take that with your red swiggly line!) Anyway, yeah work was slow and I swear, the stupidest and most wasteful part of society calls on Sundays. Its like everything else is closed so they can't go bug people at their usually haunts so they call us instead. Pffft, like I have time for your whiney butt. Somehow I did pull a cross sale out of my behind. I am still not sure how that happened though.

But on to more depressing matters. Jake sent me a text today because his piercing is infected and he wanted to know what to do. So, because I have common sense, I told him to take it out...but what does he say? "Well that isn't what everyone else said". So, I will admit that my response was a little harsh, albeit necessary. I told him that the reason it was infected was because his body was rejecting it and he didn't keep it clean like he should have but I understood that he was going to do what he wanted regardless of what I had to say about the subject and that if he actually wanted my opinion I was more than happy to help him out but if not then don't bother even asking. But that again my recommendation was to clean it, keep it clean and remove the ring. I mean, its not like I am making this up. I have had many piercings and yeah I heal abnormally fast but is it not common sense how to fix that situation? I understand that he is still young, dumb, and irresponsible but come on! I don't know. I still feel bad about it because I know he feels like I am the only one on his side most days. I will apologize to him in the morning.

But that is all I have tonight. I hope your Sunday was better than mine :)

Half way

So I just realized that I forgot to post for yesterday. And what better time to make that up than after I am woken up by my pups going crazy way too early in the morning?

So I am halfway done with my much too long week. Yay! After today I have Monday then Tuesday then freedom! Wednesday morning we are having internet installed so if I decide to continue with this my post may actually be worth reading haha.

Work last night was not the best. Overall it wasn't bad but parts just made me upset. To start off, Saturdays are a hit or miss. Either everyone is calling to buy and get it over with or everyone is calling to dick you around. Yesterday was the latter to the two unfortunately. But things were looking like they weren't going to be too bad when I had a guy that called with three cars who had done a web quote, had a couple questions but wanted to buy. So I help him with everything and it ends up that I am saving him over $800 a year. Great. So I ask for his credit card info and he starts telling me that he read tht if he purchases online then he will get another $100 back. Now you have to know that at work I am called Guru as a semi running joke that I know if not everything then damn close to it. So I let him know that he must have been mistaken because in his state the online purchase isn't even an option for our company. But of course he wants to dispute it. Now, I am not saying that what he read wasn't true and legitimate, it was just not for our company. (But how can i know?) He was still looking at the purchase page. Our system is set up so that only one person can be in a policy at a time so the fact that I had opened the web quote with ease told me that he was looking at something else. But he insisted that I double check so I went to find a supervisor. Well unfortunately there was only one available...the only one that I do not like and the only one who I know was going to be a jackass. But I had to at least ask because in an ever changing world even a guru like me can be wrong once in a while. So I ask him and he said to give him a minute and he would be over to help...great...not

So I had to wait another 3-4 minutes. Generally this isn't bad except when you are a customer on hold. But he finally comes over and before I say anything he jumps on my phone and acts like a complete and total douche! Keep in mind that this customer didn't ask for a supervisor and all I asked for was his opinion so when he got on the phone and acted like a dick so the customer was rightfully startled and said he had already been helped...so what does this sad excuse for a coaching partner do? HE TELLS HIM TO HAVE A NICE DAY AND HANGS UP!!!!!!! I understand that many of you are not familiar with how things work in my world but we are sometimes paid per item and this was a three item policy. A rarity and technicality aside he was ready to buy!! To be honest that ruined my day. I eventually lucked out with a 5 car policy later on but I could have had 8 and on days like yesterday I could have used it.

But that is my rant for yesterday. I am going to chase down a few more zzzzzzzzzs and post again later to make up for the mishap :) laterdays...

Day two

of me working 6 days in a row...I am glad that this type of thing is in my control. Unlike working retail at Christmas time. I worked about two weeks in a row while I was at Target...or at least it felt that way. I do not and will not ever miss that. Speaking of. I found this hilairous site (http://www.retailhellunderground.com/) that I have been reading. It is great but should be for adults only because of language. I love to read about all of the horrible customers. It makes me feel better about the idiots I have to deal with most days. Although it hasn't been so bad here recently. I have been making my goals and beyond without the idiocracy that is the average American population (great now that I have said that I am sure tomorrow will be filled with them). But I will say the most trouble I have had on a call today was when a woman from MS (not trying to stereotype its just the truth) called for a quote. The reason I had trouble with this call was because the woman barely had a grasp of the language. No, she wasn't foreign, just uneducated. She didn't know what 'satisfied' meant nor 'immediately' this really upset me because I do not feel like I use more than avereage words and was having a hard time dumbing down everything. I guess this is where our country is though, thanks to no kid left behind...even after the presidency Bush is still screwing us, thats great to know.

Ugh

I have 5 more days in a row until a day off...hopefully it will not be as bad as I think it will.

I really need to get an eye exam done soon...my eyes are getting horrible! Most times I can barely see while wearing my glasses. I also nees to fet my teeth cleaned...ugh grown up responsibilities.

Day off

Today was a great day off. I got to sleep in and actually felt mostly rested when I got up. Then Sam and I attempted to go fishing. Neither o e if us realized how incredibly windy it was until we were already set up. We didnt stay too long but it was fun anyway.

Afterwards we went to Mom and Dad's for a while. It was great to have the whole family laughing and joking. Dad seemed to be more okay with Sam being there and that makes me beyond happy.

I won't have another day off until next Wednesday but today was a great one that I will hold onto until next week :)

need a good laugh?

So, my brother is retarded. Not literally but he is quite a funny one. Don't belive me? Check out this video!

That made my day and I hope it does the same for you :D

Unthinkable

So first off I apologize that my phone auto corrected condoms to condems (sorry Teddie!)

Secondly I don't reallu have anything to blog about tonight...I am just tired. I feel like I haven't slept for days!

I did just watch a movie called Unthinkable...it was great and you should watch it...its in your local Redbox for $1!

Discover condems

So the discovery place was awesome! The race exhibit wasn't exactly what I thought it would be but I still enjoyed it. And the touch tank is still one of my favorite things in the world. They also had a germ exhibit which was amazing! There was a microscopet so you coukd see how gross you are and I am disgusting! It was great! Plus there was a place to make movies, little creatures, shoes and all kinds of stuff.

Sadly I do have one complaint...the kids. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. What I hate are ill mannered children and the parents who encourage that behavior. For instance, if I am waiting to play with something and when that person leaves your kid jumps in front, that's okay...explain to them how a line works and move on...do not just look at me with a "I'm sorry", "well you know how kids are," nor a "too slow sucker!" look on your face. Bad parenting is a major pet peeve of mine and unfortunately it is also becoming an epidemic :( maybe I will become friends with Obama so he can grant me immunity from jail and I'll dedicate my life to just going around and punching bad parents...now there is a life goal I can get on board with :-)

Awesome day!

Today was my first day back since Tuesday. Saturdays are usually hit or miss and today I was all hit! I still have an hour to go but I have 12 items on the board and I am on cloud 9! I feel like I am getting back in my groove.

Because we were unable to go to the mountains this past week Sam and I are taking a trip to the Discovery Place tomorrow and I am beyond excited!!! I have not been since about middle school. The race exhibit is still there and we were reading up on all of the interactive stations. I am going to be like a kid in the candy store LOL!

But I have to pee now...laterdays!

Good day

Today made up for the past few days not going the way I had planned. I saw Dad's band play and they are really good and I had a lot of fun. I wish I had more Fridays off so I could go see them more often. But oh well. I am going to try and see if I can get different days off at work. I'm not a big fan of the wed and sun schedule anymore. But I need to get some rest bc I have to actually wake up before 4 tomorrow (ugh)

Good news!!

So to be quick and short today (you know, as opposed to those crazy long blogs I always do) I am pretty sure I have settled on a major. After doing some research I believe I am going to major in sociology. I figure this will give me the most for my money in a sense. There are a lot of different things I can do with this degree if it comes down to it. I am still working on what I want to minor in, I will more than likely do marketing and a foreign language. I hate Spanish but I will probably give it another chance. I still have time to worry about that because I won't be able to declare a minor until I transfer to a 4 year school. I am just glad that I have pretty much settled on a major...for now at least :)

Wow

So Sam and I are going hiking in the morning and I am so excited...but on another note you should check out this link

http://listverse.com/2007/09/07/33-funny-exam-answers/

I warn you though, it is ridiculous and made me scared of today's youth...enjoy! :)

FREEDOM!!

12 minutes away from being free for three whole days. I am so excited and I already have plans. Brentin and I are going to lunch tomorrow, Sam and I are going hiking with the pups the next day and Friday I am going to visit my other parents then go to Dad's gig. I am so excited!

At work today I had a formal coaching session with my manager and her manager and it went great. I have very few things that I actually need to work on and everyone was pretty impressed with my progress. So I may actually do something with the company haha. I talked to Saskia (my manager) about my goal of being on the CAT team again tonight and she gave me a challenge to pick my major before the end of the month...impossible! There are so many things that I am awesome at and that I want to study so how am I suppose to pick just one?!? This will take some serious though and possible vin diagrams...

Final countdown

I am calling it a night early tonight. I had a really horrible day at work so I just keep reminding myself that after tomorrow I am free for three whol days! I can't wait. I have a lot of fun things planned :-) Who knows...maybe if you are nice I will bring you along :)

48 hours

until my next day off and I cannot wait! Hopefully I will be approved for having thursday off as well and I can go hiking! And fishing! Yay!

I am so sore! Cyrus, as always, kicked my butt in the gym. We concentrated on the back of our arms and our thighs (dont forget abs) and I feel like I am walking around with a split all the way up my body. It is a good kind of sore though. I need to get motivated to run again...i hate running!


I still have not figured out what I want to study. I need to hurry up and figure that out so I can figure out what school and so on. Figuring out life sucks. But at least I only have about 8 minutes and I am off work...yay!

Gotta enjoy the little things :)

Spring forward...

Why can't we spring into more sleep...mmmm yeah that sounds nice.

So Sam, Laura and I are summing up little kid books in a sentence. Monster at the End of the Book "Oh don't turn the book because there will be a monster...oh yeah, I am the monster" Are You My Mother? "I don't understand other animals but then I find someone who looks like me" The Very Busy Spider "A spider works all day then goes enjoys a nice sleep." Its really fun and you should try too! =]

I need sleep

Jake came over today and we went to check out a college. It was a pretty cool place. I hope he ends up going there. I think it will be good for him. But I didn't get much sleep last night and I have been burned out all day. I have a long 4 days ahead of me and I can't sleep...this is not a good start to the week. But eh I am going to finish this movie with Sam and Laura then pass out. If I can make it that long...

Running low

I am really running out of things to talk about. My life is literally work and home. I did recently get a raise at work though. Just in time too. I am going to have eveyone whom I owe money paid off by the beginning of next month and the rest is going to my amazing summer fund. I have a lot of plans and I plan on having a lot of fun and traveling. So if you want to go somewhere this summer let me know bc I will more than likely join in :)

Working on my day off

So I traded days and worked today...mistake! I had just stupid people all day...someone literally called to ask how much it was to insure a vending machine...well unless its in your house I have no idea!

I also hate that I had to cancel on Jake :( But we are suppose to be going to visit a collge together on Friday so that should be fun. Even though he fussed with me two weeks agi that this college didn't have what he wanted to study...but oh no, someone not related to him says the same thing and all of a sudden its true...teenagers...feh

So the blogger mobile did not work for me...damn. I will fix it tomorrow.

fice out of 300 reps...yeah I know I rock but thanks for the compliment anyway ;-)

t tomorrow (yay havung Friday off) so hopefully I can kick butt in sales and keep my numbers high. Oh, speaking of, as of right now I am #25 in the charlotte of

t...if it does I am going to have an awesome career :-) but unfortunately that is all. Have for now. I have to be up earlyish because I am doing an earlier shif

again. Saskia (my manager) is helping me with my life goals and is going to help me have Allstate pay for my schooling coming this fall. I hope it all works ou

So I almost forgot to blog tonight. So now I am laying in bed hoping that this blogger mobile thing works. Today was a good day. Cyrus kicked my butt at the gym

Gym rat

So tonight was my first night training with Cyrus during my lunch break...OMG! He totally kicked my butt. It was a great work out and he showed me a lot of things that I can do in the apartment when I can't will myself to the gym. I think he is going to be a great partner, we are good at pushing each other. So I have things to work on while I am with Cyrus and when I come home I am going to be partnering with Sam and going to the gym again...hopefully it won't be too long before I start to see results other than my wallet taking a hit from all of the laundry I will have to be doing haha.

My tattoo is doing great and I cannot wait until Sam orders more supplies so I can get another. These things really are addicting.

Man gas is getting outrageous! It is $3.79 in Charlotte and I talked to a guy in California who said it was up to $4.50 in some places! This is crazy! I am going to have to find a motorcycle or scooter soon, let me know if you find one for cheap!

Oh, by the way...

Random update #1: This morning at like 3am I decided to let Sam tattoo me. It is a super tiny pi sign :) It makes me happy haha. It is the first tattoo she has done on a person and it looks great :)

Randm update #2: Zack came over to visit today before he had to head back to State. We just sat around and talked for a couple of hours. I really miss him.

Random update #3: (last random thought of the night I promise) I think I have finally found a work out routine that is going to help me. I have talked it over with a few people, read a few articles and have finally settled on something. My next step is to buy a scale  with next paycheck and keep up with my progress that way and take pictures along the way. Running is apparently my best bet but it sucks. I did pretty good tonight considering it was my first time running in a while but hopefully by the end of the week I will start to see a difference in how long I last and such. I will keep you posted if I keep it going. I typically get discouraged when I see no results but I am determined this time!

Well that is all that I have for now. Have a great night!

Did I miss the crazy memo?

I'm not sure if I just missed the crazy bus yesterday or didn't get the memo but all day long I have had nothing but crazy person after crazy person on my phone. Now, don't get me wrong. I can understand being upset because of something that has happened but seriously! I just answered the phone, I do not know you from Adam and you are cursing about how I sent you something (ummm hello, we have never met) or how it is my fault that you have been playing bumper cars for the past three years and now you don't qualify. Ugh, I wish people would grow a brain already!

On a better note I am craving pancakes (super weird!) and in approximately 23 minutes I will be on my way to iHop (yipee!). So I am going to head back to my desk, stay off the phone (aka hide from the lonely people who have nothing better to do than fuss) and wait for my pancake time!

Thanks for listening (or rather reading) my crazy Saturday rant!

I am awesome!

So today was the great almost end to a great week at work. I doubled my sales goal today, made extra an extra $15 from my supervisor and had olive garden for dinner. Does it get any better? I think not.

So I am watching Sam painting a sloth and I am officially jealous. I mean, she has mad skills when it comes to art. She can do pretty much anything, tattoo design, leather work, paintings, clay, stippling, pencil work, whatever you want she can do it (you can check out some of her stuff at Sam's Deviant Page ). Although I am awesome at a lot of things in life art is one of the few things where I lack skills. Why is this such a big deal? Well its not really, except that Sam makes a pretty penny off of her art, she has made a couple hundred dollars from her art already and its only March! I guess I really just wish I had a skill that I could use to make money. Sure I rock at sales but that isn't necessarily something that I enjoy. So I think I am going to challenge myself to find something that I enjoy doing that is also productive...hrm this may take a lot of though haha.

Let me know if you have any ideas and enjoy your weekend :)

Home early

Some how I made my goal and was able to come home early. Thank goodness! I had some of the dumbest people on the phone tonight and even though I went in at 5 I had a migraine by 6:30 and not just any migraine but a "please just split my skull open and just take my brain already" migraine. And since I work on a computer the whole day I had to deal with it most of the day. But luckily all of the crazies went to bed earlier than usual and I had my goal and a normal head again by 10.

So I have been having very weird dreams. Today I had a dream that the world was covered in mud and I had to drive a school bus full of people to a Taylor Swift concert in order to save the world...who writes this stuff?

But that is all I have tonight because I am ready to eat and pass out.

Thanks for reading :)

Lazy day

So I may have a lot of blogs with this title. I sometimes feel like I never have a proper day off from work. I have Wednesdays and Sundays off but with the hours I work I either sleep in too late or get up early and go to bed too early as well. I do not like to laze around all day but at the same time I want to enjoy what little time I do have. So I usually get up and go hang out at the coffee house with Sam but today I didn't even change out of my pajamas and it felt great haha. I still feel bad because I had a list of things to do like go to the gym, finish reading my book, Daria marathon and other random things but I did none of that. I laid around, messed on my computer and found a new show (well new to me) that I haven't decided if I like yet or not.

Jamie stopped by today and it was good to see him. I miss hanging out with my little brother but he is being a dumb teenage boy and still trying to really figure out who he is or who he wants to be I guess so I will take what I can get right now. I just wish he would hurry and grow up a little more. Speaking of dumb teenage boys Jake is coming home soon and I can't wait to see him either! I still have to give him crap about wrecking his car and getting his lip pierced. Sometimes picking on him is too easy :)

But I can hear the ice cream in the freezer and the gym fussing over who gets my attention tonight so I better go break up the fight. And maybe I will have that Daria marathon after all :)

Day One

So this is my first blog of the challenge and I am already having writers block. Is that even possible? Haha, I guess I will use this one to let you know a little bit about me for the nonexistent followers I have.

Well I am 23 and a half. I work as an insurance agent and I actually like my job, oh the things school and parents don't prepare you for haha. I haven't completely hated the jobs i have had before but it is weird to actually have a career with a future and to enjoy it. After I had to leave college I figured I would be stuck in a sucky job but oh well. I guess somethings work out after all.

I do have plans to go back to school this upcoming fall, yet I am absolutely no idea what I want to do. I have struggled with this for a while. There is so much I want to do but I just haven't narrowed it down yet. But I guess it will come with time.

So, tonight was a great night at work. I think I may have finally settled into my schedule. I am not the most excited about working 5-1:30am but I really enjoy the team that I work on and I am a huge fan of my manager. Plus if I am going back to school this will be the perfect schedule.

Well that is all I have for now.

Until next time...
