November 27, 2003;I'm really dreading going to work tomorrow.. I don't know how they're gonna take me wanting to go back to my old department for a week or two.. probably not well.. and I really don't want to have to explain because I'll end up crying or almost and I won't be able to say anything or much because I'll be trying not to cry the whole time. I really really really wanna try and be a CSR, it's just really hard to deal with all of the people who call in. A couple days ago I had this women call in and she was yelling at me... I mean I answered the call and she was so angry I was startled/upset and I ended up making mistakes and she got even more angry because I was making mistakes. I cried after that call, I was shaking so much I had to take a few minutes before i could take my next call and when I answered the next call my voice was shaky and i'm sure they knew. After that call I knew right then I wasn't going to be able to handle any more calls like that. They told me I'd get better after a while and it did. I wasn't shaking for every call I took but I'm still nervous, I still take things way to personally and I'm trying so hard but I guess it's because of the type of person I am, I'm really shy, I don't say much, heck I've never really been in any social situations until I started working at RCOM.;p
I hope they don't get mad. I just thought maybe if I had a week or two to calm down in ccTLD I'd be better. Well wish me lots of luck and love tomorrow...

November 23, 2003;Well the weekend is over now. :( What a weekend though! I had sooooo much fun!! :) I can't wait for another weekend like this one! :) YAY! :) hehe
On another note, 'Dumping Day' starts in just hours... I pray every fishermen is safe tomorrow and for the rest of the season! :( Every year gets harder and harder to see my Dad go out there and work so hard and be in so much pain, coming home late at night... :( I keep telling him he should find another job, go back to school and do computer stuff, because he loves computers! But fishing is what he knows and what he's always known.. I hope maybe I'll win the lottery and he won't ever have to work again. I better start buying some tickets again! :) Well it's time for bed, I need some sleepies! Night night!

November 21, 2003;IT'S FRIDAY!!!!! I get to go Christmas Shopping this weekend! :) And I get to sleep over to a friends! :) Get to get all drunk off of one Rev... mmmmmmm Smurf pee :P Well that's all I'm going to update for now... oh yeah and I took my pictures down because apparently some people thought they were 'dirty'... Get you're mind off the gutter people! ;p

November 11, 2003;Well apparently it wasn't the shocks that went on the car it was 'just' a piece of metal hanging by a thread on the car hitting the tires/car everytime we hit a bump. So my dad seeing this hunk of metal just hanging there decided to just take it off. You'd figure if the part was put there to begin with it should have an importance to the car... and you know shouldn't be taken off. So if by any chance you see me on the side of the road kicking my tires... that's why.
By the way! My lil' tiny site made it to 1000 hits today!! :) WOOHOO! :) I never thought that would happen... ;p It feels weird to actually have people going to my site now. It also feels weird because now you know I'm crazy and stuff. ;p But yeah, hi to everyone coming to my lil' site! :)
I still don't really know what I'm gonna do with my site yet right now it's just kind of here taking up space. I was going to write my story but then i decided against it. So now I don't know what to do with it. Ah well I"ll think of something. Until next time I can update! :)
P.S. IT's ALMOST THE WEEKEND! I bet'cha the next two days are going to be realllllllllly slow and then this weekend is going to go reallllly fast. ;p oh well least it's a break from work. night night! :)

November 10, 2003;Monday's aren't fun... ;p BUT! If I don't count tomorrow there's only THREE more days until Friday!!! *chants and jumps around happily* "I can't wait for this weekend, I can't wait for this weekend! I can't wait for this weekend!!!" *inside joke* :P I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle my job for long. I"m soooo glad I have it and so grateful but I was tricked into taking the promotion, see I didn't want it but the person who offered me the job said(after I said I liked my job and i wanted to stay where I was) that department is ending in two weeks... So me needing to keep my job because of student loan crap... i said okay i'll try it. So here I am a while later and I'm stressed to hell I don't want to go to work and I don't even want to be there. There's only one reason I get up and go to work everyday and that's so I can see and talk people I care about, specially one of them...:)
So that's where I'm at now, confused, frustrated, upset, STRESSED out, sad, happy, a believer that pretty much everyone who calls is really mean, tired, excited. Pretty much anything you can think of.. that's the way I'm feeling. It's kind of like the way I felt when I knew I had to leave SMU or be in debt for the rest of my life. Well enough ranting for tonight.. gotta get up early for work tomorrow....
oh yeah! And it's Rememberance Day tomorrow so remember all of the veterans who risked their lifes to make our lives free and happy. I want to thank you so much and I just hope that no one ever has to go through what you had to go through again. We shouldn't be having wars, we should all be together living in a wonderful society where no one hates, no one judges. Just where everyone loves one aother. You know "Make love not war"... if only we could make the world see that smiling is contagious, you smile to someone, and they in turn smile to someone else and the next thing you know the whole world is smiling! :) I wonder why we can't just all get along?
Also, Tomorrow's my sister's Bday!! :) So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!!! :) Have a grreat birthday! :) I got her the 'Spirited Away' DVD! :) :P It's a cute movie. :)
Well night night everyone, time for sleepies... Night night, sleep tight and don't let those bed bugs bite! :)

November 6, 2003;Well I made it through the day today. Somewhat. ;p I take things so personally, I try not to but I just can't help it. When someone's yelling at me on the phone about their domain name or e-mail or something well yeah I'm gonna get upset because they're yelling at me(It's not focused at me but still). They would have yelled on the phone to anyone else but I mean they're still on the phone yelling at me... And blah you mean people suck! You hear me? Don't swear at/yell at/be mean to the customer service representative who WANTS to help you... oh yeah and don't ask for my supervisor he's frigging busy! Duh he's a supervisor, he's on the phone, he's helping people, he's doing supervisor stuff... leave him alone and me alone too while you're at it. ;p
I can't wait for next weekend! I can't wait for next weekend! :) hehe Inside joke. ;p

November 4, 2003;Mean people suck.... :( I had a really bad call for my second to last call tonight... fun way to end a day of work. ;/ He was yelling at me and everything all because supposedly he e-mailed the appropriate department and it was over 24-48 hours and he hasn't received anything back...
Well then....WAIT LONGER DAMMIT!
There is alot of people e-mailing this 'certain department' (which will remain nameless because it's not their fault either) and they do e-mail back the customers. Usually there's only 60 e-mails left to get back to out of hundreds that were made by customers each day. So dammit people don't yell at me because I can't do anything when you're not in my damn system... I was pretty much crying after he hung up on me saying he was going to tell everyone in the Universe to not do business with Register.com. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow, all because of this caller and all of the callers just like the caller. So yeah I need a big hug... :( *pouts*

October 31, 2003;HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! One of the best holidays during the year! :) You get to dress up, act all crazy and get candy! :) Well not for me.. I have to buy my own candy now... ;p Oh well.. maybe we won't get any trick or treaters and I'll get to keep all the yummy, yummy candy! :) Mmmmmmmmm... choc-ooOOOoo-late.... :)(Edited;november 19)

October 25, 2003; I finallly got my own pair of boots! :) I was so excited when I saw them there in the store... at first I saw the ones I actually went on to buy and didn't like them but then when I was looking at the ones I did like they didn't have my size(Size 5-6 as usual...;p). I was determined to get a pair of boots that day at my lunch hour so I tried on the boots I didn't really like and when I put them on I absolutely looved them! :) They're nice and soft on the outside, they were a lil' big being a size 6 the smallest size they had but I didn't care! I was going to buy them! :) I wore them today and ahhhhh so nice, they hurt my ankles but! It's not like I'll be wearing them walking around much heh ;p (Edited;november 19, 2003)

October 16, 2003; Well I only had one bad call today but it ruined the rest of the day. Okay now people out there who have registered domain names pleeease listen to me for a moment... :P OKay JUST because you pay for the domain name DOES NOT mean you OWN it. It just means you're paying for it and that's it. If you want to 'own' (actually what you do is lease the domain name for as long as it's paid for but that's besides the point..;p) the domain name you have to be the registrant and the admin. :P And to make it even easier update your freakin' contact info and billing info EVERY time you change it... it is against ICANN to have the wrong contact info. If you have an invalid phone number and we try and call you back, BANG you're domain name is seized. So make my job easier and don't tell us we're stupid when it's you who's being an idiot. I don't feel like crying over something that shouldn't bother me!
okay I'm okay now I'm better. :P ttfn :P

October 11, 2003; I did a bad bad thing tonight...;p I went to town and... and I spent money. ;p *slaps hand* bad Katie! I'm not allowed to spend money.. I'm paying off my loan in 17 months and that's that. I'm not going back on my word. I'm down to 15 months now! :)
After that 15 months then I'll be able to spend money! I'll be able to take my friends out for supper and pay them back for all the times they've taken me out to eat or bought me clothes. It will be great.:)
Ahhhhh.... but it felt sooo good to be able to go shopping again. :) I didn't buy too much just some things I needed. :) Shop Therapy is good for you! :) I love to shop soo much. :)

October 7, 2003; Well it's getting better at work. :) I have at least one person who hangs up on me everyday though. :P Most times I figure they must press the wrong button or they get another call. ;p Oh well, gives me less to do. ;p
I'm not used to my new shedule yet. ;p I come home and eat supper at around 8pm depending on if I have to make it or if there's leftovers from when my family ate. ;p so I've pretty much lost 5 pounds now :P Which sucks ass because I just gained back the pounds I lost! :P Dammit;p I wish i could munch on food while on the phone. :P When i was in ccTLD I gained weight pretty fast because I was always eating. :p I love food! :) But food doesn't seem to love me! hehe :) Oh well I still love food! :) Mmmmmm Choc-oooo-late! ;)
P.S. Special note; Matthew I hope you feel better! :( *hugs!* :)

October 2, 2003;It's my parents wedding anniversary today! :) So happy anniversary mom and dad! :) Don't ask me how long the've been together all i know is that it's over 23 years because that's how old my sister is right now since her bday is next month. :)
well i've been on the phones for almost a week now and my stress level has risen reallly high. The first day I started working on the phones I couldn't eat because my stomach was so upset, I lost 4 pounds that day. And when i tried to go to bed that night my heart was racing and I just could not sleep. I have yet to gain all that weight back because I can't regain the weight when my stomach is all in knots. I'm not sure if I can handle the work. Lots of nasty customers have called and sometimes I just wanna cry. They just take everything out on you because they don't have anyone else to take it out on.
Everynight before I fall asleep I'm wishing I don't have to go to work tomorrow. And I've always told myself I'd never get a job I hate because I hated high school and I don't want to go through that all over again. Basically when i get up in the morning i go there because I know I've either got e-mail or I'm going to get an e-mail that will make my day. That's what keeps me going to work. :)

September 28, 2003; Well I'm done training now. I even got a crash course in another service we're going to be offering soon. I start taking calls tomorrow all by myself 9-6. I'm reallllllllly nervous about it... I can still get help i just have to put the caller on hold and raise my hand up. I'll probably have to stand on my chair for anyone to see me... darn shortness! :(
After my first call on friday i was shaking for a good 3 hours afterward. I passed up the opportunity to get drunk(i needed it too):( because I still wasn't doing very well. ;p i would have gone out if it was only for an hour but they weren't sure so I said nah. Plus I've never drank with only guys before and even though I could trust them it probably wasn't a good idea. ;p Well anyways I should go have a shower!

Okay I guess I'm sicker then i thought... or it's just the Junior Strength BubbleGum Flavoured Tylenol messing me up. ;p I was typing along on here updating and then all of a sudden nothing was there.. ;p I figure i either haloucinated or I clicked onto my friends' IM and then clicked back here and it reset. ;p Anyways yeah i take my first call tomorrow, we were strongly advised to take it tomorrow instead of monday because we'd have someone to shadow us and help us during the call friday. On monday we're on our own. ;p Anyways enough about work! I'm finally going out drinking tomorrow! Gettin' all drunk, I'm gonna really need it though.... well I'm out ttfn.

YAY! Check out what my lil' sis drew for me! :D *Dances around happily* Hopefully this time it will save ;/ it hasn't been saving the last couple times I tried it. *pouts* :p Oh by the way my lil' sister mispelled register.com, but she's sick so it's not her fault.(she's in her blue pj's in the picture);p

September 21, 2003; Second update for today. ;p Well apparently the 19th was Talk like a pirate day. :P From this site you can learn such things as what Ahoy! and Avast! means. There's even some international pickup lines that pirate guys can use such as..
"Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you." Or if that doesn't work,
"Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?"
And for the pirate women out there, here's some pickup lines some manly pirate couldn't resist! ;)
"Mind If I climb your rigging?"
and if that doesn't work try,
"Care to dock into Port?"
You'll have to read the rest for youself, they're great! :) http://talklikeapirate.com/translator.html ttfn! :)

September 21, 2003; I had a terrible dream last night, well it wasn't mindnumbingly scary but ewwwwwwwie! I was sleeping in my bed and then all of a sudden out of no where spiders start crawling all over my bed! So me, being terrified of spiders I started using a shoe that I for some reason had in my right hand and started smashing them up to pieces. But they just kept coming and coming and then I knew I had to get rid of the 'queen' spider, it was huge, with loong legs. It's body was coloured brightly with pinks, purples, oranges and blues. I tried to smush the queen spider but I couldn't it was too fast. I was so terrified of the larger spider I just couldn't bring myself to go near it to get a better shot. When it started defending itself I woke up to my mom yelling at me to get up because it's past time to get up and get ready for church... I guess I was saved by church? ;p Anyways, I should go study or something. Today's been a blah day. ttfn

Septemeber 19, 2003; YAY! It's FRIDAY! :) This morning went by soooo fast! But then this afternoon dragged on so much I was practically falling asleep during my training, I felt bad for my instructor/trainer person but I couldn't help it. ;p It was pretty stuffy in that lil' room. ;p I'm a lil' nervous about starting on the phones 2 mondays from now. I've got this week starting monday or tuesday(not sure yet) where we shadow some people while they work for a few hours. And then the monday after I start alll by myself.. ;p I'm a lil' nervous that I'll do the wrong thing, and tell the customer wrong info and ake them loose their domain names and ahh it's a lil' stressful but I'm not gonna worry about it. If I make a mistake I make a mistake, they told us it'll be about 3 months before we're comfortable with doing everything. ;p
I'm getting the hang of it a little more everyday which is good. :) Ya know I'm pretty much home alone! cooOooOooOool, *blasts my tunes* I bet after a few minutes of deafeningly loud music my parents will come home. ;p I'm really trying not to go shopping tomorrow.. if I go fix my guitar(see if it is fixable:/*pouts*) I"m going to have to fight the urge times 10 to not shop. ;p I'll be in a store with alot of guitar stuff and then I'll be in town so I"ll want to go buy clothes and cd's I've been wanting to get for years.. ;p Op my parents are back home, well that home-aloneness didn't last long.*pouts* ;p Well I don't really know what else to update about so yeah maybe if i think of somethign else to ramble about I'll rant later. ;p luv ya guys! :)

September 18, 2003; I wanted to update the past few days and tonight but seeing as it's reallllly late I'm gonna say just a couple things. ;p My brain is mush from all the tests and studying but the people at RCOM are the best. And e-mailing is fun! hehe :) I think that's all I'll say for now, I must go get sleepies! ;p Tomorrow I'll try and update alot more. :) Luv ya guys! :) *hugs!* Ttfn! Night night and sweet dreams everyone! :)

September 13, 2003; Well I was gonna update my site yesturday but I didn't think it would be very coherent because I was pretty tired and excited and nervous and uh stuff. ;p But anyways! Guess what!? :)
No that's not it. ;P
Nope not even close.;p
Wait! I heard someone waaay far away say something! What was that? ;p Yup! That's right! I was offered a Full Time position at RCOM! :) I get paid a whole dollar more(which doesn't really interest me I was damn happy with the money was making with my other job. ;P) and I'm dealing with people now I guess. When I find out on monday my shedule and all the information about my job I'll let you guys know. :) Anyways I'm out, I gotta study. ;p

September 11, 2003; :) HaPpY bIrThDaY BaRb! :)Wow! My lil' sis is 18 years old already! *hugs!* Well I suppose you're not really lil' amymore. ;p You're also taller then me but still. ;p Have the bestest day ever! :) Hopefully I'll get that pic I drew for you uploaded on geocities since it's being a big mean poo head.... ;p Well Happy Birthday Barb! And since it's september llth and all.... may all souls rest in peace..

September 8, 2003; Well I have absolutely nothing to say today. ;p Besides that I'm still working... prolly for about another week and that'll be it because we're almost done our last project. yay. :( *pouts* I just hope they'll hire me for sooomething after this. Oh! I think I got a tan now! :) It's kinda full of tan lines but it's still a tan! ;p I"ve got a lil' tiny pinkish burn mostly on one side of me(because the sun was kinda on one side of me but I didn't think it would matter but meh. ;p). I smell like summer now! :) Figures now that it's september and summer is almost gone. ;p I miss being able to talk to Noel on the phone. I haven't talked to him since the last thursday in August. Which really isn't a long time ago but as I'm sure most of you all know out there know.. it's harder when you don't even get to talk to your bf's (or gf's) on the phone. ;p I'm not gonna get to talk to him very much or at all until he comes back home. He said he's really busy. You'd think he'd have a few minutes to call at least once a week.... ;p BUt i dunno. I'll let him get kinda "settled in" back to school life and give him a chance to call me at least once a week. :) I want to know where the me and him are headed though. I mean he said he wants to go move out to Alberta after he goes to school in PEI.. so I don't know. But hopefully when he calls or when I call him(he's gonna give me the number... sometime apparently.) and we'll get some things figured out. 'Coze it's kinda hard to figure things out on your own. ;p anyways.. Oh! heh I guess I had alot more to say then I thought. ;p Yesturday I started to try and win the new 2004 F-150. ;p I decided that if I won it(which won't ever happen, but I'll never win if I don't even try. ;p) I wouldn't keep it. Much to my disapointment. ;/ But at 19MPG I figured I wouldn't be able to afford the gas it'll take to go to town let alot back home again. ;p But yeah anyways I'll sell it and then pay off my frigging student loan, *glares flames* ;p, and then save some away and possible if I can afford it buy a new Ford Ranger. Or a Toyota truck, I'm not really sure just yet. ;p I'm gonna try and test drive pretty much every company that has a line of trucks. ;p Except for Dodge because well I'd never in a million years be able to afford the gas for a dodge truck. But yeah I'm gonna look at Chev's, GMC's, Ford's(Yes I'm sorry Steve! But I'm gonna at least look into them ;p) and Toyota's. :) I kinda want a Tacoma they're cute. :) Anyways, I think that I've wrote enough about nothing. ;p So hopefully next time I'll find something to say that's good. Like a permanent job... *hopes and hopes!* okay everyone maybe if you pray allll at the same time until I get a permanent job maybe I'll actually get one. :) Don't forget me in your prayers! hehe :) Anyways I'm out. :)
