Today at work, Steve, the director of my department told me that he was putting me and another bilingual specialist (my friend James) in charge of all International and Spanish calls and reports. I am hoping that's a good thing because we don't get that many International or Spanish calls per day. So, hopefully this will assist me in my quest of getting paid without doing a goddamn thing around the office but surf the net and talk with my co-workers. The cool thing about it is that we get calls from all over the world because we have clients all over. Places like Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, India, China, France and other....dude, I hope it's gonna be awesome. One sucky thing that did happen today was that Brian, my direct supervisor, gave me a verbal warning for taking too long with a caller. LOL....I understand the reasoning behind it, the old, disabled, recently-cut-off-from-his-permanent-disability-benefits man was rambling on and on and I was not doing a goddamn thing to stop him....lol. The way we conduct our interview to find out what their ethical or compliance misconduct allegation is very intuitive and we are encouraged to get the facts and let the go as fast as possible. I was being lazy and I let the guy vent cuz he was pissed. Well, Brian was listening to my call and realized I was emailing Takesha instead of trying to make the call short. LOL...so I got a warning. It did kinda bum me out though cuz all I had been getting lately were really good reviews. A couple of days ago I got 100% on my performance review (dude, we're such automatons). But, it's ok, I learned my lesson...I want the good reviews so my job gives me more money (yeah, right!)
So, Felicia and I have been going through a lot of economic hardships (and that's an understatement). I was really depressed about it yesterday and I know that Felicia is still very depressed about it. The thing is, GCS does not pay me enough to live and support my family. I mean, we finally figured that out. The $400 dollars that her dad gives us for helping him out with the banks do not help at all (not to mention he never gives it to us in time). So, for the past two or three days I have been relentlessly looking for a job. I have applied everywhere online...This weekend I'm going to dedicate it to fax, mail and take resumes everywhere for a part time job. I am in serious need of a job to supplement my salary cuz Felicia can't work due to her pregnancy and I can't quit GCS until the new baby is born because we need the benefits for the hospital stay. I don't care where I work, I am even willing to apply to WalMart or a local grocery store if the administrative positions I applied for don't call back. I just need a part time like a crack head needs a hit!!!!
So, I added links to two blogs of two girls from Brazil that I've begun reading their blog and vice versa. They are Ju and Bricia. They are really cool. Their pages are in Portuguese but thankfully I can get the main idea of their blogs because of my Spanish. I have assured Bricia I will help her with her English if she can help me with Portuguese (especially since I'm so much into the Portuguese Punk Scene.
Tonight I didn't feel like coming to work, I've realized I always feel that way on Thursdays and Fridays. The beginning of the week is cool, but towards the end we start getting a little bummed out...LOL. Well, I guess that's all for now. Laterz.
Here are this week's Wednesday Whatevers...
Wednesday Whatevers
1. What are 3 bad things that happened to you this year?
Got a paycut when I separated from Time Warner, My back has been increasingly worsening (sometimes it hurts just when I bend down), and I owe my mom over $2000
2. How do you express yourself best?
verbally, I say what I feel... I'm very blunt (which could also be a negative thing)
3. What do you think of life after death?
I don't, it scares me...I think some things such as this and the mere word "eternity" are not meant for the human mind to comprehend. Some things are better left alone....like the moldy tuna surprise in the back of your refrigerator your mom cooked several years ago
