And today was my sister’s birthday. She turned a whopping 22 years old at 6:16am. I spent the afternoon with her…shopping. I apparently was in debt to her and I just had to take her out and get her something for her birthday. Cause I’m the “best damn sister ever!”
Damn straight, I am.
::I even bought a designer purse today. It was a steal. And someone got some financial help in the process. But I am the one who ended up with the cute purse! I love it!

Nothing really exciting happened at work today. Nothing out of the ordinary. Lots of people talking behind others’ backs. People getting kicked out of their desks. People taking calls that aren’t theirs. Lots of drama. The usual work. Now, yesterday was horrible! I talked to more customers before we even opened for business than I normally do in a week. Lots of phone calls, lots of orders, lots of unhappy people. Lots of stress…can’t forget that one. And then to top things off today, the computers didn’t work. And the e-mail was down as well. So, I could call to arrival people, take phone calls for new orders, and write stuff on the board. But their was no way to check the on-call report (the lady who works overnight e-mails her report of what happened in) and I was screwed. I couldn’t tell if people canceled and that’s why they weren’t at work (which did turn out to be the case on one) or if they just didn’t show up, if a customer called in an order, there was no way to tell if we had an ASAP order or not….until 7:40am. Twenty minutes before we open. Forty minutes after I start working. And my pager! I can’t forget that. It died on me one time and I lost all my pages. I tried to get the answering service to resend them, but they didn’t want to help me. And then today my battery kept coming out and I was so scared I wasn’t going to get the information back. Luckily it didn’t die or delete any of the messages. I got everything taken care of…but I forgot to put it in some people’s notes that they NCNS (no call, no show) and mark it on the order. Oops!
::I did get kicked out of my desk. It is officially not mine anymore. I am taking everything down tomorrow. What’s mine is mine, and it will be with my belongings. Therefore, I am taking over one of the other’s offices. I have internet (which I do access during work, lol) and a door I can close. Thank God! It’s not that bad actually…cause I leave in 12 days!!!!!!
