Today was sufficiently horrible that I don’t want to talk about any aspect of it. Perhaps I’ll do it tomorrow. But not tonight.
For the record
There’s about to be another post right after this one, but this still needs to be said: yesterday was the closest this blog has ever gotten to the Previous Incarnation of my blogging, and my mid-2000s Xanga blog was like that all the time. I’m really not interested in using this blog like I used my previous one, which was a way to boil off stress and anger from the Bush administration so that it didn’t spill over into my actual life. And I would gladly name Bush President-for-Life rather than endure even another month of the evil fucking clowns we’ve got running everything now. So, yeah: hopefully I won’t be getting all 2005 around here all the time now, but that one was pretty much unavoidable.
In which I have reached previously unknown levels of fuckit
Yesterday at work: a $2,000 return on an insanely slow day. I have like eight sales but the biggest one is for less than a hundred and fifty dollars so it doesn’t amount to shit.
Today at work: a $4,000 return, and I still haven’t dug myself out of yesterday’s hole, plus it’s Tuesday, so there’s two trucks in the morning and then lots and lots of phone calls to people whose stuff has arrived and then spending the rest of the day answering the phone and in a progressively worse and worse mood because you’re leaving detailed messages for these fuckwits and they’re calling without listening to their fucking voicemail and saying things like “Uh, yeah, I got a call from this number?” and then trailing off.
LISTEN. TO. YOUR. FUCKING. VOICEMAIL. YOU. FUCKING. CRETIN.
I’m gonna go off on somebody sooner or later, goddammit. If I answer the phone and say “Thanks for calling <furniture store>, this is Luther, may I help you?” then maybe the phone call might be about furniture? Did you even hear that, moron?
And then I got home and had an angry letter from the Illinois Department of Revenue wondering why I hadn’t filed my taxes in September. Because I haven’t set foot in Illinois since July, maybe? Or earned any income? And don’t taxes get filed in April, and what is this September shit? That could be why.
OH SHIT RIGHT also half the staff got written up because the store had too few prospects last month. That was fun too!
Current emotional state in two songs
Primal scream (don’t read)
News on the job front! I have, once again, had someone contact me with a job offer! And it pays $37 an hour! That’s a lot of money! And it’s a real job this time and not a scam!
A real job that will have unpredictable hours from week to week, have a lot of travel, and end in October!
Okay, there’s a possibility of coming on full-time once the specific project I’ll be training people for is over, but hours will still vary widely from week to week, which challenges my notion of what “full time” means, and the job will still be mostly travel!
GODDAMMIT.
Exclamation point!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.
Oh and also the job is literally working for the literal devil. That’s not a joke.
