so if you didnt already know, i have a new title at work. i am the customer service supervisor. pretty gnar title for a 22 year old... but i think i deserve it. ive been working since i was 15.5 and not because i needed to, but because i wanted to. as spoiled as i am/was. i always knew the value of a dollar. i've always had an appetite for material goods and in order to feed that hunger i knew i had to work. my parents satisfied my wants to a certain degree, but its just in my personality to always want more. but my hoarding nature is beside the point. what i was trying to get at is this; at 22, i have a long resume. so finally having an "adult" position makes me feel accomplished.
not to toot my own horn, but i think almost every job ive had, ive received the same compliment from all my managers-- "i cant believe how fast you pick up on things, youre definitely an asset and i know you'll move forward quickly". for the first time, i actually MOVED up. in my past jobs i busted my ass and always ended up parting ways because my bosses usually ended up being pricks, most seemed to have a cock stuck up their anal and stank in their eyes. this time around isnt like that. i've only been at my current job for 7 months... and already look where i am. stoked for sure.
what im not so stoked about is the new girl we hired. she's a good worker in the sense that she does what shes told and i never have to ask her to do the bitch work, she just gets it done. what erks me, however, is her inability to retain simple things. things that ive repeated consistently for the past 2 months. let me rewind and explain her position... she's basically a receptionist except she is never seen by clients.... you see, at my office we dont have a "front desk" because we are a lab so she spends a lot of time on a phone (99% of our clients are based in sacramento and san diego)... so she is to answer phones, call on cases i give to her, type case letters, input cases and photocopy/organize paper work... but for some reason even after 2 months of reminding her to get office names, contact info and note who you spoke to directly, she cant seem to get that to stick. she tries to ask who is speaking, but somewhere in the 7 seconds she asks to when she relays the message to me or the office manger she forgets or doesnt get the right name. like really?! i think 7 out of 10 calls she transfers, she gives us either a made up name to an office or client. seriously, from saying "one moment please" and hitting hold she forgets the name? that or she asks and doesnt confirm what shes hearing is correct. it really annoys me. then when she inputs cases into our system she constantly checks due dates with me. ive explained to her over and over give them 10 business days... if they need it quick, 5 as long as its no more that 2 units. i dont expect YOU to understand what i just said because you havent been trained or even informed of the details of what i do, but she has. i trained her for 2 weeks, i typed, printed up and outlined any and everything she needed to know and yet she STILL doesnt have it down pat. i learned everything i needed to know in 2 weeks then they threw me to the wolves.
i just hate having to repeat myself, especially when im busy.
i wish she could be a fucking robot that i could program. shit would be tight. lol.
only legit part of having her around is i can pass all the easy calls to her and she speaks korean.
on a completely different front...
since i sit behind a computer all day long at work ive been on myspace, facebook and blogger a whole lot.
lurking is fun.
especially when you find unflattering pictures of dumb b's. HAHA.
(whoa totally had deja vu right now)
ive also come to notice that my world is pretty small. my ex from like 5 years ago is from the 626 (duarte to be exact)... first person i had ever met from the area. met and heard about a lot of people through him. flash forward to 3 years ago. we were ok in the friend dept. civil with each other, mostly talked to each other just to vent. but in that communication i was "introduced" to a number of ladies he was friends with, talking to, dating, leading on yatta yatta. and now we dont talk... but oddly enough a large percentage of those girls im seeing more often than not. they are friends of my friends, which is totally weird. they dont know me (i dont think) but i know things about them they probably wished i didnt know. so strange. ive also come to realize that guys i have hooked up with in my past are rising from the dead LMAO. i didnt think id see certain people again or hear from them, but boy i was wrong. its not a bad thing, i guess. it not like i had feelings lingering for any of them. so seeing them or hearing from them now is nothing more than chill. it can be awkward in a sense... but w/e nothing you can do but laugh.
shit.
this post is long as fuck.
i guess i'll close it out with a thank you for everyone that came on on friday for rams surprise bday.
goddam' the prep for that shit was intense. running around, texting like mad.... secrets and more secrets. then day of, running late. having the slowest super bank nazi who was a bitch times 1000 when it came to cashing my check... then the chance of rain. baby jesus really wanted to test me.
all in all beer pong tourny was dope to the max.
got all crunked.
sent out some drunk txt (fml).
and made some amazing memories.
so far my plans of having a "THUMBS UP" 09 is still going strong.
ps.
cant wait for my bike to come!
