where i want to be.

my messy bed.

work is kicking my butt this week.
in a good way, of course.
because everyne knows i loove
to organize and make things tidy...
so i don't mind the long hours too much.
i'm just learning how to fit home life in.

in short: i'm tired but happy.

many licks

many licks, originally uploaded by glo-riah.

i have a jar of these on my desk.
love the color and
love the candy
love the fact that eating one
makes me feel okay
about quitting my job.

i don't understand how human beings
can feel entitled to speak unkindly
to someone on the other end of a
phone line.

i was in tears last night
and my stomach was in knots this morning
over a few unkind words
that went straight to my heart.

be kind to one another, peeps.
you have no clue the damage
your words can do.

naranja.

i am tired peeps.

like, on my third cup of joe

and still want to curl up

on the big red couch and snooze.

yawn.

yest comments:

spazz: yes, those sticks work!!

colleen: i bought mine at potterybarn, 

so i can vouch for those, the ones at pier 1 

made my nose hurt. maybe it was the scents?

missy: yeah, uhm, i can't be the only one who sees

the irony...i hate talking on the phone, i am usually the one

who mis-hears what people are saying..

and yet i work in a call center.

hmm.

365: i think it's more fun because these are like *kids*. man i feel old.

joce: that's funny stuff. we have a pretty cool class, but no one has done that!!

kate: no fire. the sticks absorb the oils 

and then the whole room is filled with your aroma. nice.

stacey: there are some really genius business names out there. 

makes the job fun!!

kate obrien: i can't wait to just get good so i'll enjoy it more!!

scented.

daily photo: i love these jars.

cherry blossom and quince are my faves.

day two of call center job.

not so bad.

i even braved the live phones

an hour before class ended.

live calls!!

ack!!

two of the calls were reverse search

which meant that some chick found a

number on her man's cell and 

wanted to know who the heck it was.

one lady wanted the address listed too.

yikes.

keep in mind we haven't even learned

reverse search yet!! 

double yikes.

lots of interesting people in my class.

sometimes i think i am 

learning more about human behavior 

than i am my job.

sidenote: there is a mary janes pizza in tulsa, ok

if you ever get the munchies and want an interesting

place to eat.

:)

feeling green.

today's pics:

so this new job.

is intense.

i am hoping that it's only 

that intense because it was

my first day.

i am one that has to do something well

or i don't want to do it at all.

memorizing the actions (f7 f5 etc)

is easy enough, 

but when you add in the actual speaking...

that's when it got tricky.

anyone ever heard of yakima WA?

yeah.

me either. 

so when i "got a call" and they were

looking for a number in yakima

i was thrown.

keep in mind i can only have 5-8 secs of dead air.

and i have to know what to say while i am searching.

see, looking it up, easy.

with words...well hopefully practice does make perfect!!

it was fun, though.

i think i'll like it.

:)

yest comments:

thanks for the well wishes with the etsy shop, ladies.

kimmyk: the usps has regulations on the size of the envelope...

i can (and will) make reg sized cards soon!! :)

and it's good to know i am not the only one who despises that 

big yellow p.i.t.a. !!

i know i'm running behind.

when i see this in front of me.

i hate getting behind the school bus.

especially in that neighborhood

there are mini people at every corner!!

and you see how dark it is in the a.m.

last night was spent going over

card designs.

yep.

i'm joining the bandwagon.

opening an etsy shop.

the written word.

mostly invitations and cards.

we'll see how it goes.

there's nothing in there now

but give me a day or two...

:)
