Well today has been a nutty day to say the least! It was long, grueling and tiring.
Today was supposed to be some great overtime where I work, at Verizon Wireless. I was supposed to come in at 0900 and work till 1700 for making outbound calls to customers who are out of contract. It’s easy they said, just do equipment upgrades. Sigh.
So I went to bed around 12am this morning with the plan to wake up around 0655. I didn’t go to sleep until 0500. I was pissed. I dragged my feet to the bus stop three blocks away.
Well, had I gotten there on time would have been nice. I stood at the bus stop for over an hour until it finally showed up, making me late by about 20 minutes. Not a huge deal since its overtime basis and I’m the one who chose to come in. But when a bus is supposed to show up at a certain time I expect it to be there ya know?
So I finally get to work and they are already serving up the donuts and cookies… and carbonated beverages. This was a horrible combination especially since I have digestive problems to begin with. So we sit down and I start making outbound calls. Other reps left and right of me are landing contracts and winning prizes for doing so. Not I.
Lunch time rolls around and they bring in stacks of Little Caesar’s Pizza. I almost threw up after a few pieces of this junk. I was tired, cranky and I just couldn’t stand being there anymore. By the time 1700 rolled around I had made 119 outbound calls to customers to upgrade either their phone or price plan. 100 of those calls were either busy or no answer. So yeah, this was not my day at all. Im just glad I’m home and enjoying the rest of my day off.

Bull,
What a sucky day. I’ve had similar days in that many nights I don’t sleep–UNTIL it’s almost time to get up and go to work. What’s up with THAT? Anyhow, I hope future days go better.
