Lunch break.

So far, it's been a good day. Minimal problems. One I fixed, one I couldn't fix (address issue that the customer had to fix), one I couldn't fix bc it was a technical issue (audio was bad - transferred and checked my equipment).

Had some super sweet people who've been very kind and

Twas A Day™️.

I don't know if I'm gonna make it. I originally planned on going for one of the post-holiday spots, but now I don't know.

I've done lots of jobs in the customer service realm. I've worked in stores. I've worked in restaurants. I've even been the boss. I've been screamed at. I've been

This is such a disaster it's funny.

I've lost calls. I've had my system phone ringing while I'm on a call already and I can't get back. My system has eaten 2 orders. I've had to call advanced customer service because her exchange hasn't processed. I missed my break bc with calls constantly coming

Is it normal to be so anxious for work you feel like you're going to throw up?

Ugh. I know it will pass, with time. But I still hate it. I hate going in feeling like I'm not ready. 😫

Oh well. Better just shut up and do it. This isn't helping.

Have a good one, folks.

(Though I must admit this movie bugs me because that chick doesn't even remotely sound like she's from Arkansas and it ticks me off. 😂)

Sunday scaries. 😭

I shouldn't stress. What's the worst that could happen? I suck and they fire me. I still have a nest egg in the bank, so I'll be fine. Life will go on.

But I want to do well, even though it's just a part-time, entry-level customer service job. And I want something to do. I need

Getting in an OL episode before I get to work...

My bb Ian is getting married. 🥹 I've loved this wee lad since he wandered in on Claire at the brothel and asked her "are you a fairy? Do you live in a dun?“

Also, his bride just invoked Matthew 18:20. "For where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name, I am

I had a dream last night about putting up my Christmas tree, and now I really want to do that today. But I have a bunch of stuff I need to get done, so I can't.

Normally I put it up on Black Friday, but I have to work that day, so I can't. 😢 I guess I'll do it next weekend.

OL (re)watch continues...

Jamie has just returned from the dead. William has found out the truth and asked Claire if Jamie and his mother loved each other.

"I think as much as they could have..."

That spoiled little bitch blackmailed him into sleeping with her. There was no love involved.

I still think they were fake and it's killing me not to know since I lost power for the last half hour of work.

I only got 2 calls in before they told us to hop out of the call queue, but both were...unique.

First was a lady who called to check on an order, only she'd canceled the order at some
Calls were a disaster. I think they were fake, even though trainers assured us they wouldn't be. But they sounded fake and it looked like everybody had problematic calls. We're only trained for taking orders, payments, and checking order status so all of us having advanced issues on our first go

Let's see...other news from my world.

The hours in the heat without even a fan yesterday (it was high 70s) wore me down. So after running around and putting my groceries away properly, I made some food, then ended up talking to my stepbros for like 1.5 hrs. Then I crawled into bed to watch TV and I

Chugging right along with my OL (re)watch. I'm up to Ian Sr. dying.

I've realized Jamie's wearing his kilt while there, and was using a gun to hunt. But they would have still been banned at the time. Is this an oopsie, or a sign of Jamie's new American spirit (f the British! I do what I want!)?
November 22, 2025 at 9:33 PM
My power is back. Praise be!

Now I can go properly put my groceries away! The order took so long to get here (and was somewhat wrong) that it was already pitch black. So I just gathered all the cold stuff by flashlight, pushed it into the appropriate storage areas, and left everything else sit. 😂

I think we're going to have to start taking calls today.

OMG I don't feel ready for this. 😬 Sink or swim, I suppose.

Woke up about an hour early AGAIN. I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. Probably nerves.

They sprung this "certification" on us yesterday. And I was all panicked, because I don't really feel all that prepared yet. And because this is happening at home, we don't have any written materials.

I got my desk chair put together, and it feels monstrous. I got a "big and tall" chair because I am fat, after all, (and I'm always paranoid I'll break it) but I am not tall. It's hard to even sit all the way back because the seat is massive. And I don't know if it's bc I have hardwood floors or if

I am in season 7 of my Outlander (re)watch. This is all past the point that I've read so it's totally new to me.

I enjoyed season 6. No major complaints other than lol at the sad attempts to cover the Bump and the tragic wigs continue to be tragic.

Season 7 is good and I'm actually enjoying the

Woo hoo. My first pay check hit my bank account and it's double digits... 😂

It's for last week, which was just 2 short days so it's not supposed to be much. Just funny seeing this tiny little deposit hitting.

Woke up stupid early (almost an hour before my alarm), so I've used the extra time to start a load of laundry, break down a couple of boxes that need to go in the trash, and tidy up the house some. At least this way I can just kick back and watch a bit of tv or listen to my audiobook pretty much
November 20, 2025 at 2:22 PM
Before I went to shower, I tidied up a bit. I dropped something that rolled behind the couch on my way to the kitchen. I leaned down to pick it up and caught the top of my head on the corner of the shelf behind the couch. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Pain, blood, a cut, a bump. Hurt to wash my hair when I got in the shower.
November 20, 2025 at 4:35 AM
How can I be so tired after basically doing NOTHING? 😭

It's just the tedium, I suppose. There's a lot of hurry up and wait going on. There's basically ALWAYS an issue that slows us down (not blaming people. Sometimes it IS the other trainees not understanding, but most of times it's just glitches
