Good Bye DTV Road

Hello Qwest!! I am now a sales rep for Qwest and I start at the end of the month!!

Was She Giving the Evil Eye?

Aug. 11) -- A Russian woman is in trouble with French authorities after hurling a cup at the Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre in Paris.
The Daily Mail reported Tuesday the woman is being held in the custody of Paris police and had undergone psychological testing after the Aug. 2 incident at the world-famous museum.
Russian news site Pravda reported the woman was upset over being denied French citizenship, but the Daily Mail reported the woman is being assessed by doctors to determine whether she suffers from Stendhal Syndrome, a rare condition that causes erratic behavior when a person is exposed to artwork.
Accounts of the incident differ, with the Daily Mail reporting the woman threw a tea cup full of English breakfast tea at the painting, while Pravda reported the cup was empty.
Regardless, the projectile did no damage. Leonardo DaVinci's famous, which is property of the French government, is protected by bullet-proof glass and is further protected by a climate-controlled box.
"It is one of the most well guarded works of art in the world, and it would take more than a well-aimed tea-cup to damage it," a museum spokesman told the Daily Mail.

A Little Help

I have been going through a little bit of anxiety. I guess I am getting over the after shock. I am feeling leery about calling the retirement fund and I need to call them soon. I have so many things to get done like my insurance. I have to figure out when my TV service is being shut off, I never wanted it in the first place. As much fun as it is.
I have applied for a job for Qwest through their website. I got an email back. After a game of phone tag, I have an interview tomorrow morning. There is something really funny. The second person that has emailed me and called me is someone with the same last name as me.
Then mom has called me about WBS Global. So, in the wee hours I submitted an application to them. Today I got a call for an interview on Wednesday. Mom and Tim have got my back. I am kind of rooting more for the one that pays the least. It is the technical troubleshooting, which is something I can do quite well.
Hopefully, I will have a new job lined up for me. I really don't feel like looking for a job for an extended amount of time.

Dino

I think I might end up like my Aunt Sherry with a collection of different pets. Well, on second thought, there isn't enough room in the house to do so. Also, the other pet I would like to have again would probably be eaten by either Frank or Logan.

I was watching some clips on YouTube and saw this cute video of a turtle trying to eat a cherry tomato. As it chased and chomped away at the fruit, I started to think. I have never had a turtle. I think they are kind of neat.
So, I decided to gather up stuff for a turtle. The one I really wanted was too much money. It was a Russian box turtle and they can range between $100 to $150. Then I saw a red eared slider. I had to get a different tank and then I came back and got it.
I used my pet pals card at got him for $16. New family member is a turtle. I though about naming it Beans because of Frank. A turtle is kind of like a mini dinosaur. So, I named it Dino.

Girls Just Wanna Get Things Done

Is there relief about the loss of my job? A little, I don't have to work with the team anymore. I kind of like the time to myself at the moment. It is weird after three years, they let me go. Supposedly, I have a ton of talent. I am intelligent.
Talent and intelligence would not really get me a job around here. Maybe some quick thinking and finesse would do the trick. Who knows?
I had a bit of a delay. My computer was out of commission for about a week. I am still trying to put it back together again. The guy who fixed my computer removed everything and put some different things on here that I am not used to. What the heck is this office application???
I have been fighting to get my Internet to work on here. So far there is a 2Wire wireless thing that says it's roaming. Which makes me a little nervous because I don't know if it make my phone bill go high.
My printer, that's another story. I have found that since my move I have misplaced a ton of software and manuals. I am either missing a disc, have the wrong disc, or don't have a serial number. AAAAHHHHH!!!!! So, some of my applications I may never see again until I find my stinking Windows software book. Luckily, Hollywood Screenwriter had my code because I have no idea where the book ran off to.
I had to go to the HP website and look up my current printer. You do realize this is my third printer and I had the Cd's from the other two. I tried to print but there was nothing happening. I download the software. Next, there was no ink. I had to run and spend about 40 bones on a new cartridge. Then I had to run the alignment thing about three times until it let me start printing resumes.
Now, I am struggling once again with my Everio G. I am almost wishing I had one of those old school camcorders. Digital stuff is a pain in my ass.

That Went Well

I have had a struggle with keeping people. Why? Because of some people that worked there did not do the right thing. I had to backtrack and fix it. Because one person gave the wrong information, I had to backtrack and fix that. The economy, nobody has a way to pay for extra service. I know I don't. Yet, I am blamed for the bad economy. Yep, everyone's spending mistakes were all my idea. It's my fault. That and people wanting free stuff where I was to follow the rules and that made people unhappy.
That among other things lead to long calls and not meeting where I needed to be. Everyone else is doing better. Yeah, well normally when you are brand spanking new you do good. More experienced agents could do it, they probably had more experience than I.
The thing that has really ticked me off is "deferral of ownership". Not everyone follows the same belief of the system. Yet, everyone looks at the same thing? When there is nobody around and something does not make any sense you have to go to someone who does not know any better. To make things worse when there is a customer asking for someone, conveniently you have to walk to the other side of the building and make everything take that much longer. I am told that I was deferring ownership.
Never in my whole three years of working have I EVER asked to be on someone else's team. I am harped on like I committed a malicious crime. When I want to be on another team, I am told I am a coward. She walked me around in circles with questions that made no sense and all of my answers were wrong. She would set me up. What do I feel like? I felt like others were being condescending to me. Then she got offended? Give me a break. It's my right to say how I feel. I did grin and bear it and say nothing but then she turned more vicious and think that I am not taking anything seriously.
For reasons for not meeting any goals, I have been eliminated. One less person to fix someone else's screw up.

Conspiracy Theory

Whoever sends viruses to someone else's computer, GET A LIFE YOU LOSER. In a time that is so rough for everyone, why would you do that to them? You are a scum bag. You deserve to still be living in your mothers basement at the age of 32. You deserve to die there to. I hope one day that some psychopath finds out where you live and blows up your house.
And another thing, Office Depot. You will not get anymore of my business. You people are worthless enough to sell a virus protection that does not work. You have the nerve to tell me that it will cost me another $70 to $150 to fix something. You sold a product to me that did not work and I want my money back. On the other hand, you really should have fixed my computer to free.
Nothing but price gougers out there. I think companies deliberately sell you crappy products just so you can spend more money on them. I think that virus protection companies send the viruses so you can buy more of their crappy product.
Now, without much further delay you nimrods. I am on a job hunt so I have something to back me up when I get canned.
