Me and the Mark-of-ass.

Dear sweet lovely Gwen

as a button

I am so damn hot!

You want how much to do what?

So my car has been giving me attitude. It has a rough idle, almost like it wants to die, but doesn't. It seems fine when I get going...but if I get stuck behind grandma Gert or caught up at a red light my car goes into convulsions.
I took it to Midas today before work to get her checked out. They called me back with an estimate...more like a second morgage on the house...in the amount of $1,122.28.
Yeah fucking right!
I called my mom to relay the news and she advised to call dad...so i did.
I figured he'd tell me what to get fixed first and to just take it one thing at a time until it was all taken care of. He said he'd call me back once he had a plan of attack established. Called me back about an hour later asking me if I'd rather drive a 2002 Sebring or a 2001 Impala. Taken back a bit, I asked him to give me a brief recap of the question. He chuckled a little and went more into detail. He wants to help me establish a better credit rating and get a reliable source of transportation in the process.
So I'm getting a new car.
yay!
$145/mo for the next 5 years...(yikes...I know) but to raise my credit score, this is the way to do it. So there it is...my new 2001 Chevy Impala.
The parential units say it is in steller condition, inside and out. 88,000 miles with a 3.4 lt engine...that would be an 8cylinder...get the hell out of my way!
The car is pictured below...aptly named "car" "vroom" and "zoom"
Check it out, she's a pretty one.

I have made my 20-day emersion at work.

yAy!

So now after 3 1/2 months of training, I now have to pass a written test and will then be good to go as a full time employee in the world of telecommunications.
"Whats so different about passing this training as opposed to all the other jobs you have had?" you may be asking...well, this is a real job with real health insurance and it's even downtown.
743,000 wireless customers, 1.1 million DSL customers and 4.6 million long-distance customers depend on myself and about 40,000 other employees to handle 240 million calls transmitted across our network daily. And you think you have stress? lol
It is my job...porviding I pass this devil test...to explain complex bills, take payments, place orders for goods and services and to just keep people happy.

Thank you God for my ability to handle dumb people in large groups!

I must now hone in on my skills to fight off the people who try to use their jedi mind tricks to persuade credits and adjustments from manicured fingers.

Infidels!

If you deserve it, you shall get it...and I will be the one who will judge! Not you!
I will care for you, I will offer you superiour products to best fit your needs, I will make you laugh, I will even sit and shoot the shit with you for 35 to 45 minutes until my next break/lunch/end of shift arrives.
