The week that wouldn't DIE

God! What is it about me that calls freaks to me? I just
got two horrible calls today.

OK, so earlier this week, I had a woman who wanted
something that *so* could not be done, and decided the best
course of action was to yell at me. She made unreasonalable
demands again and again. She told me she didn't want to
hear what I was saying and she hung up on me. That is,
after stating that I was going to get the problem fixed
today and I was going to have a supervisor call her back.

Fine, whatever, I did what needed to be done. The woman was
told that it wasn't going to be fixed that day (by sup) and
I had given her the proper solution. I called the site back
the next day, after they had got the CD that I overnighted
them, and fixed the issue in two minutes. Blah.

Then, then, TODAY I get SUCH an ASSHOLE on my line. I
understand why he was frustrated. The company kind of
fucked him over, tho not deliberately. I worked with him
for an hour, repeatedly calling him back since he only had
one line. I fixed as much as I could. BUT, the laptop needs
to be migrated and this NEEDS to happen via a direct
network connection. AKA, he is going to have to drive into
the nearest office. In his case that is 200 miles away. He
was just there yesterday to get something else fixed. In
the end he demanded to speak to a sup as well. And when the
case is resolved we will see that he had to drive to the
nearest office. There is nothing else that can be done.
*sigh* I know that I am female, but I am NOT an idiot
people. I have been working tech support for 6 years. I
know my shit. I don't need a dick to work with computers.

Then, right after that call I get the creepiest caller from
Ohio. Saying that he knew by my voice that I was a nice
person. He wanted me to come work for him. He would buy me
a rolls royce and he would set me up at an embassy suite.
He would fly me around the world and feed me good food.
Hell man, I just wanted to walk him thru resetting his
password.

Everyone, at the office asked me why I didn't take him up
on his offer. Because, it wasn't cute, it was CREEPY!

These agents need to stop fucking with me. I am way too
close to the edge today.


It is now later in the day. I have bought myself manga to
compenstate for the week I have had. I worked a couple of
hours of over time this week, so I figure it all balances
out. :)
I even held back. I only order from the US where shipping
is way cheaper. So I got two books from Asami Toujou (or
however you wish to spell her name), and I got a copy of
BexBoy Gold.
Sasuga books has a 12 month suscription for it for a little
less than 100 dollars. I am so tempted to get it. It is
where Haru wo Daite Ita is published before it is bound in
a volume of manga. We'll see how much I like it. Especially
since I may not be able to read it. :) But hell, the
pictures are always nice. *yum*

One of the books I got was Renai Jankii (love junkie), that
is the one I love that has Shadow in it. I also got, by the
same author, Aisuru Kotoshika Shiranai. Which, in my world,
translates to "Not knowing nothing but love", However i am
guessing it is more along the lines of "not knowing
anything but love" or "Not knowing only love." We'll see
after I have translated it.

Both of them are in japanese. I really really really want
to be able to translate better than I can now.

*Sigh* Someday.

I called Steve Sturm about the USC job today. Hopefully, he
calls back.

Later,
