And I am just that much of a nerd, that I am tempted to go...

That and I talked myself into more hours at work... Which is a good thing, but it may piss some of the others off (just newer people, with full time jobs, I shouldn't feel bad for them right?), and now I only have one night off a week... Oh well more hours... That and BC went live yesterday, and some of us (not me thank God), had to take their calls cold, with no training...

Oh and JB and Whoopi on a chat show? Total heaven for me. Dawn French seemed pretty cool too, and I totally envy her that she got to see John in Matador (as she said 48 times :P).

I wore my Rent shirt to work, and listened to the OBC on my break and when I went to the mall... I still need to learn how to make an e with an accent when I type too... I looked one up before and it didn't work...

Got the Torchwood Archives at Chapters today. It made me so happy that they are selling Torchwood stuff there... They even have JB's autobiography there... They're supposed to have the paperback there too, but they don't have any in stock...

I found a Canadian website that sells the Doctor Who and Torchwood figures too... The only extra they charge is shipping (through Canada Post)... They even have a sale on the Doctor Who Captain Jack figure...

My cat missed me today, he's been following me around since I got home...

That and I am thismuchcloser to getting more hours at work... Sometimes patience and perseverance really do payoff...

I asked before and nothing happened (I also was away the weekend they really talked about some of us in after hours getting more daytime hours), but it could actually happen this time...

I wasn't going to and had kind of given up, but it turns out that one of the people that did get more hours is actually leaving (she's putting in her notice tomorrow), so I already mentioned in to Geff and he said that he would definitely mention me to Paul. He's going to put a good word in for me and everything.... Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...... And, they want me to take over one of the lists and train one of the newbies... It feels nice to be appreciated, it truly does :o)

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but it is nice to feel hopeful...

This has happened a lot in the last few days, and I have finally had it...

There is this woman at work (more than one, but I am focusing on her for this), who tells everybody that she's nice (she actually said those words today) and then will turn around and stab you in the back the first chance that she gets... I wasn't sure till today that she had done it to me, but I am pretty sure now that she has. Now I can handle that, that's no problem, I don't need a full time job there as badly as they might think I do.

What truly irritates me is the way she treats certain people. She (and a couple others) has decided that she doesn't like this one girl on our shift, and even though she goes out of her way to be *nice* you can tell that she doesn't like her she doesn't come off as being nice to her. Now this girl is different and was actually born in the Middle East, so the way she speaks and the way she acts is different (not wrong, different!)... And the girl from the Middle East also had trouble getting used to the phones and what we're doing, but rather than help her, she picks at her... It feels like it's only getting worse, and I am getting REALLY close to losing my temper.

I talked about it to the other woman stayed later today and I actually got to blow off some steam... It just truly amazes me the way that some people act and treat people...

It reminds me of the UK vs. US JB wank (and other wank that I have witnessed). Opinions differ, that's why they are called *opinions* for God's sake! No matter how long you've been a fan or known who he is doesn't make you better or worse, or your opinion more valid. I mean, I can remember Central Park West, does that make me more valid than the person that only first saw him in Torchwood? I don't think so. I do think there is a bit of touchiness going on to, that has more to do with the person's personality than anything with JB (which I think JB would be the first to point out).

Anyway, I'm done now, and I feel a lot better...

Oh and someone tell me to stop listening to this song...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......... For a part time job I am awfully pissed about it. The other problem? Mostly resolved (at least so I thought)... Then all of the newbies are pulled into the manager's office tonight, and are told that our productivity is low. I've got the shittiest list, and I'm getting complaints about my productivity... I spend SO much time cleaning it up and actually looking for people to call. And the person who's in charge of us on the shift, sent the manager an email last night about us, when I was the only person there with him, and he couldn't be up front and tell me what his problem is with me... I just... WOW

Anyway, one of the girls was totally reasonable and said use the criticism to your advantage and work harder... I agree, I just... I even used to be like her at her age... I just have been in the workforce a little bit longer... My goal? To make at least 100 calls tomorrow... Well that may be a little high, but I plan to shoot for the stars. And if he even tries to tell me I'm doing better, I will tell him to fuck off.

It'll get better though, I have an assessment and an interview next week, AND Monday is a holiday.
