for some reason or another, the internet was down last night, so i didn't get to update the situation.
it's fine now. there's less texting happening than there was originally, which is good, but we're cool.
i
turned my phone on upon realizing that i needed to keep it on since
i'll be checking on alex's pets should she be in labour for too long.
thus i'll need my phone on in case i'm called to do this. upon turning
it on though, it decided it was going to be in flight mode. frozen. and
refusing to turn off without having the battery removed. five times. i
took the sim card out and turned it on again, and it didn't even
register the lack of sim... so i had to reset it. again. then this
morning, my alarm never went off. i was two hours late to work. because
my phone is crap.
after work, i went to the cingular store and
picked up a nokia 6030 to get by until november when i'm up for
upgrade... but i paid $130 for the damn thing. it's cool and all... but
not for that much money and that little memory/amount of features.
thusly, i'm keeping it until the phone i actually wanted (lg cu500,
lg's version of the razr) + a bunch of accessories shows up from ebay
next week for about $150.
today was kinda shitty. yesterday, i
found that i had an extremely small update, and was done in five
minutes. i was happy. i finished putting the graphic novels in order...
then wrote an angry note and posted it on the bulletin board in the
back since it was so crappy looking over there.
i tell you this because it leads you into today.
i
walked in two hours late, thanks to my phone, and got to work on
recovery and returns and all that fun stuff. a while later, laura calls
me in the back and asks me if i moved the three features around that
were mentioned in the update. i said no, that they were for the stores
located in states that have a tax-free weekend this weekend. she says
no, that there was an email about it, and that it should have been done
yesterday. and then i get pissed.
basically, i wasted a day
yesterday. while graphic novels needed to be organized, it was a slower
night -i was CLOSING even, which is ALWAYS slower than a mid shift- and
it would have been a bit easier to change those damn features around
with less customers asking me about things and less phone calls.
the
kicker about this? laura told me later on that the email had already
been read before she got to it. which means one of the managers
yesterday read it and didn't tell me about it -they got the email about
an hour and a half before i got there, so they probably knew about it
for quite a while before i got there! one of them i absolutely adore
and trust would probably tell me about something like that... the other
is the one who reassured me i was done, and really, i wouldn't put it
past said person to not tell me about that. said person kept making a
big point about how we didn't need to move them since we're in
kansas... i get a feeling it was that one who read it and didn't tell
me. feh.
oh, get this. the hook that starts my truck has been
shifting around to places where it's impossible to turn off/turn on
lately... when i pulled in to the cingular parking lot, it wouldn't
shut off. so i got out and was messing with it, and while there were
7543907432590754 spaces all around me, this little car comes in wanting
the space my door was opened into. and they honked at me. so, i jumped
in my truck... and broke EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN ONE OF MY CHAINS because
they got caught in the door!!! ALL. OF. THEM. ARE. BROKEN. i can't get
pliers to bend the links back. looks like i get to go to hot topic on
this paycheck... 'cause i refuse to go without them now.
feh.
i'm choppy tonight. still irritated, and irate about the phone thing,
but at least that'll be fixed next week. though i'm really pissed about
my chains. i might have to go to hot topic before work for that.
