Hi ya.

After getting to work late yesterday I wanted to get to work early if not on time today. And I did it.

I'm mostly out of money, and my sister has already started to talk about me getting a job in St. Kitts, and I haven't been at this for 3 months yet. Mostly it's because of my not liking living with Lynn. It's far from ideal as you already know, but I feel that I should stick in there at least for 4 months, to see if I can get to the point of finding a cheep enough place for me to move into and out of this.

Incase you are wondering how I got on line you can thank Lynn's boyfriend. I found him at the pier when I got off work and went to get my ride home. She got all dressed up and smells like she spilled a bottle of some perfume on her self when she was getting reading and keeping the person who brought me home waiting when he had to go pick up his daughter. Don't worry, she's as old as I am if not older.

Anyway, I can't really find anything on the TV, but I do have a star trek ep playing behind me, so I'm messing with the computer and getting some downloads since I can't find the new eps of honey, honey drops. Why say that you released a new chapter or what ever if you don't tell people how to get them?????

An ant bit me on my hand the other day when Lynn told me to clean up the back yard it doesn't hurt unless I really touch it, which isn't that often, but you can see this big bump on the side of my hand. I'm glad it doesn't hurt. It was from the same kind of ant that bit my toe two or so weeks ago. That one hurt since I wore close shoes at the time and it would be constantly rubbing on the inside of the shoe.

My day was going really well at work today, to talk about something good. I was making good head way with my orders, I know that I will never catch up to Hema and two other people on the team, but I did good for a starter. I got to 22 by the end of the day, when one of the programs crashed on us today. I had to hand off my call backs to someone else. I was going to do them myself but the system crash took that time from me.

Also, come the end of my shift I found my best red ink pen busted in my bag, lucky for me it hadn't leaked into my bed yet. Just over my hands when I took the top off for some unknown reason. And this was happening at the time that I was talking to a cust for Hema. She doesn't like getting directions and sometimes you have to, so I said that I would do. I seem to be getting over my fear of talking to people, I just have to slow down my speech when I'm talking to them. Either which way, I called this lady up and I was trying to get directions to her house and when I asked clarify questions like is this street named street, or blvd or Lane, she blew up on me. Started talking about how everyone knows if it's lane or a street or what ever, right after she told me she didn't know what it was. Then she went into how why can't she speak to someone in the US, and when I said I can give her a number for her to talk to someone in the US, she said that she didn't want to talk anymore, she wanted her dinner and hung up on me. How Rude!

It still bugs me even now. I don't think that I've had a person that mad me for no good reason since I've started working there.

*to get happy again*... I found a place that has true flats for me to buy that are in my size and with in my price range. I'll see about getting them at the end of the month. I think that I'll go by and put some money down on them this pay check coming.

Oh, speaking of money. We ran out of gas last night and this morning Lynn blew up about money and stuff. I barely have enough for me, but I gave Marcus her oldest $5 to try and get some dish liquid so that he could wash some dishes since the one that was there is finished and she told him to use soap. As far as I know, she ment bath soap.

Ok, I can still taste the slice of onion that I put in my sandwich that I had for dinner. I need some water, and I should get out of blogging before she comes home and kicks me out.

Well it was nice to really type my blog tonight. I know there is alot that you don't know about, but the only thing I think I can and should mention is Pearl. Ya, that girl is back in my blog again.

It seems that she altered her son's report card, and lied to everyone about how well he was doing in school, then turned around and told my sister that he should know how to do his home work, how to not spend his money one stuff other then breakfast and lunch, that he should think of bettering him self. The boy isn't 6 yet and can't read at the level he is suppose to be reading. She said that she does what she is suppose to do. Make sure he's alive. That's it. Jhodie informed her father, our uncle, that she was reporting her to welfare. It's not the same as it is in the US. But we are at least hope that they would have someone come in and check on her and how Verey was getting along in his schooling ever so often and to see if she bothered to cook breakfast for him. She’s home on time off from work and she doesn’t cook him breakfast, doesn’t help him with any school work or anything. She makes sure he’s alive and buys him some clothes. She stopped buying him school supplies. He should be more responsible was the answer my sister got from her when she asked her about why he doesn’t have book’s pencils, anything in his school bag.

Ok... going to spell check before my luck runs out.

See ya.

October 09, 2006

I got my hands on the computer... have to make this quick.

HIIIII .... *waving, waving*

I did a full days work, got 18 orders finished. I would have gotten more done but the system slowed down and stopped me a few times our I would have had at least 3 more finished.

I got up 6am today in St. Kitts, still didn't get breakfast, but I was able to pack lunch.

Over the weekend I got a pair of leather sandles and a new shirt. I wasn't suppose to get the shirt, but after all the talk that was around me at work on Thrusday about getting a make over I just felt bad and got a marked down shirt. It cost me $65, but so far, everyone loves it and they approved of my shoes too.

Considering I had to cut off part of them to wear them, I'm ok. You see, these are those hand made, thick leather sandles, and he made them as a size 12. The lenght of my foot is that of a 10 1/2, it's the width of my foot that is an 11. So at a 12, the part at the toe that is suppose to help keep your foot in the shoe was was just hurting my foot and as I walked I would just fell like I was being pulled out of the shoe. So I took that part off, but held on to the pretty part that went across the top of my toes. Right now I just wear them at work and wear my other blue shoes to and from work because the more I wear the leather shoes, the easyer it will for them to fall off my feet.

Well Lynn is back and wantes to the comptuer back.

I'm hungery, I've had one meal for the day and I may have to make my dinner, but then I may just have a bowl of ceral instead.

Ok... Heroes in 15 mins. Have fun, see ya in another eon. *grin*

Sorry to my wallpaper club. :(
This blog starts last weekend Saturday.

Sorry I took so long, but I don't get that much time on a computer anymore.

=================================

I didn’t float away.

No matter how much the waves tried. We went to a beach just around the bend along a longish trail/road. The first two times Jhodie went there, she was given some kind of hiking route to get there and thought that it was much further away. I told her to let’s try and walk it, but she said that she was told it was too far to make Nika walk it.

Well we waited and waited for a bus, then got the one that wouldn’t go off the main road, at first I didn’t under stand what he meant, until we got there like 40 seconds later. We could have been at the beach for how long waited for the bus. The driver didn’t charge us anything for the lift since he didn’t really take us anywhere.

We then proceeded down a long rocky path/drive way/trial between trees and a few cows to get to the beach. It would have been nice if he had given us a lift down there, but he doesn’t go off road.

The beach was quite nice really. When we got there two guys were leaving and one guy was abit over to our left smoking. None of them were black. The last guy was older than the two who were leaving. 45 or so. Well first we had a little something to eat, then we went in. Now that I’m talking about, I realized that you aren’t suppose to go into the water after eating. The only reason we didn’t get what you get when you do is because it wasn’t more then a few bites of something, and not all of us had something. Also, we didn’t run into the water when we had finished eating what we ate. I’m not even sure I remember what it was, but we didn’t have much and some was leftovers to eat when we came out of the water for good.

Oh, to make things interesting, Xhavion came along. Lynn had asked/told him about going to beach with Jhodie and Nika on Saturday.

Now I have clear up something. The beach wasn’t the first stop of the day. Oh no, It was not to start off that smoothly. First everyone woke up late and Jhodie called to let me know that they were coming over on the 9:30 boat. She also told me name, which didn’t mean much to me. Later when I was about to walk out of the house and she calls me from town I find out why she told me the name of the boat. This one was suppose to make the trip in 30 mins. So I was late, again, for the second day in a row. Not happy. I hurried to catch a bus, feeling bad that I wasn’t there to meet them, that I may have walked down to main road in good time. Maybe even better than the day before when I had music to help me get though the walk.

Then I got there and they weren’t where she said that they would be. Already anxious, I just stayed that way until I bought a phone card to add money to my phone. I had tried to send her a text message from the bus to let her know that I was almost in town, to find out that I had a cent left.

Turns out she was at her famous thrift shop. At least I was going to find out where this place is. It was a block up from the main road, long the road going to the hospital. The place wasn’t as smart as I expected it to bed. I was in an old wooden building, and it was dark on the inside and a bit smaller than I expected. Maybe it was because I was thinking that it was in the “mini, mini mall” that was down on the main street. It’s a new white building. Either which way, Jhodie told me how to get to it, and Nika came out to hung me while her mother got a nice little dress for her and something else that I’m not sure about. We then walked back down to the place we were suppose to meet and had something to eat. I didn’t have breakfast and Jhodie didn’t eat anything that morning either and she was starting to get grumpy from her sea sick pills.





Monday.

Well, considering I didn’t find my shoes today and had to wear my old beat up draggers to work, everything else seemed to be going ok.

I got to the pier on time. Had money to get two breads with tuna, so I could have one for breakfast and the next one for lunch. Granted I didn’t find a good, cheap pair of shoes before work started, but I got to work on time.

Heck, I even got my passwords/profiles for the systems. I did a few orders, One looked like it was going to get rejected, but I had to try and call the person, and another one I had to put on hold to make sure it didn’t mess up like the last 2 line transfer that I got. And I was quite happy with the 4 or so “confirms” that I did get.

Then my luck changed as I getting ready for lunch.

Ronald came over and told me to log out of systems. I was being transferred to South-West team. Ha?? I don’t want to go there. It’s complicated over there. I was starting to get with what I had over here at West. Besides having to get use to what I had to say over the phone and not yet having made an over the phone payment I was fine with it.

I’m being given over to them because they are falling behind under and onslaught of orders, which I can under stand. I just don’t like it was done if anything. Now I’m back in training with a “kid” I’m 10 years older than her, which might be why I feel odd about it. But all in all she is nice if not a bit of a speedy person with getting her orders done.

And to boot I’ve lost my accounts again. They had to move them and now I have to get new links to use them also. I might get the new links tomorrow if I’m very lucky. Either which way, I’m in training again for another 2 weeks and I have one whole new system to learn in the process, along with other one I hadn’t touched yet, but knew about.

Well I did two telephone orders on the other system. It’s almost the same. It’s like the same program, but different versions with about 3 or so things that the one I was using before didn’t have.

Both times the person owed an advance payment and I had to call them. The first time I got voice mail. I just about always get voice mail. The next time I talked to a person. The only thing that was different from before was that the kind of information that I gave wad different. We don’t give them a place to go in north west, we just give them a phone number.

Can’t stay… training bites.

Tuesday

This stinks.

I hate it. Being trained by a slightly impatient 19 year old who would first assume that I didn’t do something and ask me if I did do it.

Firs she gives me a bunch of papers to copy and look over. Then she told me to keep looking at what she is doing at the same time, then to make sure that I learn these 6 codes, and says that she is going to test me later.

After that whole thing I then was asked to do some of the orders. As I’m going through the first one the “supervisor” came over and asked how it was going, then told her he wanted a report from her at the end of each day of my progress. Great, so she will push me so that she will look like she is doing what she is suppose to be doing.

I’m just looking forward to hell here. I already don’t like it. Their stuff is harder, and I just got Dashavo. I dreamed of being in this place, doing what I was doing at the time months ago when I still had my other job. I can’t stay here for too long.

I had to make a phone call and I noted to myself that I had to ask the customer if I could place them on hold and asked her. She said that she couldn’t because she was on a cell and if there was a number that she could call. I gave her the information that she needed and I was then told that I didn’t ask her if she wanted to be on hold and I know I did, that is how she was even able to tell me that no, she didn’t want to be on hold. Then instead of clearing it up with me with what said and what was suppose to say, she just told me to remember to ask. AAAHH!.. THAT IS WHAT I DID!!

I’m still a little mad about it as you can tell. But I’m back from lunch which took longer than it should because I had to wait to use the microwave since I was more or less cooking my meal while everyone else was just re-heating. So half way though my lunch hour I was able to put my stuff in the microwave. I more or less poached my veggies, added the cuscus, along with some seasoning, let that stand for as long as my hunger would let me leave it along, and then ate it with the drum stick that I heated up with, along with my bottle of water.

Now I have to go, I’ll rant later.

=============

So I have to catch up from Wednesday ha?.. I'll see what I can do.

October 03, 2006

I can't blog today.

lynn has me fixing her printer and getting something sent off for a friend, so that has eaten up my blogging time for today. The sad thing is, I don't think that I can get her printer installed right before I have to leave. You need more then 40 mins when you have to find and download the drivers. So most likly I will be doing this again tomorrow.

I am keeping track of my blogs. I'm trying to write them up in word while at work.

See ya.

The Start of the Week

The brother is the one who could fly??!?!? That self centered insensitive almost jerk is the one who got the power?

I know that they had to give us something new since they just about showed up everything else, but that was one heck of a twist.

As you tell I watched Heroes last night. The only other thing that I can remember getting to see was the antiques road show. I watched that over Deal or No Deal. I watched it over the weekend, and I’m not much of a gambler. I never assume that I have a lot of money in the case, and I just hope that my luck holds out so I can get as much for the case as I could. But once I see the board doesn’t have the odds in my favor to come out of the next round on the safe side I would call it quits then and there. I did watch part of it all the same last night. This lady had made it up to 53,000 and blew up, by the time I showed up she passed on 5,000 and then lived though the next round and it went up to 7,000 and she took it. Good thing too, her case was only worth 400.

I already told you about today. I didn’t get the bus that I was suppose to meet over by the school. By the time I walked out of the house it was 8:50, and I thought that I was doing good time about 20 mins earlier. Oh well, I turned on my music and besides this one little steep hill and standing in the burning sun I was over all fine. I did get worried when it was 10 past and I hadn’t caught a bus yet. When I did get one I sat in the back and had a look at the thing that I was going to eat for lunch. I was an Indian meal that I just had to heat up in the microwave. It was mostly veggies in sauce. I picked up on that said that it wasn’t too hot. I got in town and walked into the only store that I really buy food from and I looked up at the clock to see that it was 8:30. Great. I got a half a bread and beef and 4 johnny cakes at 50cents each. I first said 6 johnny cakes, but I decided to save a $1. I was hoping to get back more then $10 and I did by a few dollars, so I could have asked for the other 2 or gotten some Halls instead. Either way, I just packed up to get to work so that I could eat breakfast. I didn’t get here that early after all and I don’t know how come. I got here with barely 7mins to spear.

I ate half of the bread and put the rest with everything else that was lunch related into the fridge. … and now it’s break time. It’s 11:45. I think it’s a bit early for a break, but I’m still hungry and I have to use the bathroom, and currently I’m not doing anything. I may not even get to enter any orders until after lunch.

See ya in bit.

I did get my hands on a working system. I got thought 2 orders before she wanted the computer back. She’s still doing DSL orders. I’ll have a longer time on the computer when she’s off for lunch.

Lunch seemed to come so quickly now that I’ve had my break and the rest of my breakfast. I wonder if I’m going to eat all of it. It’s a slightly good thing if I don’t. I can have the rest of it for my last break at 5pm, and by the time I get home I won’t be that hungry. One can only hope, and I bet this is the night that there will be dinner. I just won’t eat it until like 9 or so and take on my of heart burn tablets.

Oh… here is how my week is.

Start at 10am
Break at 11:45am
Lunch at 1:30pm
Break at 5pm
Go home at 7pm.

That is how it is for the whole week and next week too now that I give it a look. Last week my section would all go for lunch and breaks at the same time. I guess it wasn’t right for all of us to bail at the same time, so our supervisor made this schedule for us.

I have to remember to have a stop off at this flyer that I saw today. It’s in the same place that the flyer for the independence lunch was. It has fire works on it. I wonder. Let you know after lunch. I just hope it’s not too hot. I just have the four Johnny cakes to eat with it. I almost asked Udorna to get me a bread to go with it, but for some reason I didn’t open my mouth.

1:20pm see ya.


…guess what? I was down town waiting to catch a bus to go home when I remembered that I didn’t copy this to my thumb drive. In my defense, I was stuck doing call backs for Kizzy. At first I wondered why I was doing it. She has been trying to pawn off her call backs on any one that would take them. Granted she may have had a good reason a week ago when she was getting over a cold. So I was going to let her do them so she could get use to it, just like I’m doing mine so I could get to it too. Then they told me that Ronald said that I was suppose to do them since I didn’t do any work that morning. But I can only do her call backs if I’m using Udorna’s computer with her logged into some of the programs that I would need. And since this was Kizzy’s work, half it wasn’t done right and I had to fix them since I had to put Udorna’s name at the end of it after I did what I did.

Last night when I was waiting for a bus something ran over my feet. At first I thought that it was a mouse, but it didn’t seem like it knew how to get from between my feet, then as it ran across the street I saw that it was a crab. A big red one, like the ones I use to see at Ross. I haven’t seen any here, but then I’m no longer that close to cost. I then tried to call Jhodie to find out what else was on tonight other then Eureka, but she wasn’t there. Huh? Where could she be? It was 7:30 and for me it seemed like the buses have all gone to bed already.

I tried again like 15 mins or so later I think. I just left a sort message this time. I have to add money onto my phone. Well she called me back as I was passing the Airport, and it took me a while to realize that my phone was ringing. First it wasn’t a very loud ring tone when it starts, and the music on the bus was up very high. Anyway, I told her that I would call her back in like 3 mins once I got off the bus, but before I hung up she informed me that she bought $300 worth of stuff from a student.

As soon as I got off the bus I called her back and asked her what she was doing. She explained that she had gotten a whole bunch of stuff and not just 4 things for that money. It seemed that she went with Uncle Ray to a student’s place to get a few things. He wiped her out of most of the big things. Desks, chairs, and an all in one. It’s for his new venture. I think I told you about it. The whole sale thing? I wouldn’t mind helping out if he asked, but I don’t think that would in St. Kitts that much to help out, unless I got a job over there that let me have enough time to help out.

Either which way she listed the things that she got and how Nika smiled her way to getting a flash light hidden inside a puppy. I haven’t seem them of course, but she said that there is a whole line of them from Hasbro. One of her clients has a cow one. When you open the animal to use the light it makes the sound of the animal. The client’s is a cow so it moo’s and the puppy one barks. There were two things for the bathroom in the list. Along with a night stand and maybe one other table. I think there was something else, but I can’t remember now. She won’t get the stuff from the girl until she pays her of course, and she’s thinking that she can do it in two payments of $150.

We talked some more, and in the end when I hung up I checked how long the phone call was. It was over 30 mins. That is over $25 I’m sure. I’ll have to pay for that one. Oh, it’s not the same call that I did when I got off the bus. I had to hang up and asked her to call me back. That call lasted the 30 odd mins.

I had gotten a new milk so I could have breakfast today, but because no one cooked dinner last night, I ate cereal and then bought breakfast again today. The beef and bread does come up $4.50. I was hoping that I was wrong. Oh well, at least I got to work in time to eat breakfast.

I’ve been fairly busy since I got to work today. Went over our list of held accounts. When I got into asking Kizzy about one of her accounts I went and found others and I was able to help clear about 6 of them. One poor guy won’t get it on the date he wanted. I just finished that up and yawning. Not that I’m board or anything. Just was tired earlier, got something to do and just pushed it aside. Now that I have nothing to do again, it moved back to the front again.

I should have gone to break, but I wanted to get this done. Now I just have to survive an hour until lunch.

On the slightly upside, I was told that I should record the orders that I process under my name. I was thinking of starting to tag the ones that I did for Udorna, and I think that I will have to do that now, since it puts her name there anyway so I just add mine behind it so that they know it was me and write it up on my sheet.

This is turning out to be a very long post. Lucky for you I already have my thumb drive plugged in, and I’m not leaving it here.

I was almost late today because I took a look at a manga I downloaded to see what it was about. I should have known that time would just fly by me if I did that. I only lost like 10 mins that way, and I only lost that much mostly because it was a bit confusing and I wanted to find a site to let me know what this thing was really about. It’s called “Honey Honey Drops”. It could be interesting, but I don’t want to start it and can’t finish it. I’m still waiting for the continuation of “Addicted To Curry” and “xxxHolic” and another one I have at home. Hey, I know that last one has updates, I just forgot to look for them. I’ll send and e-mail to myself to remember.

When I was talking to Jhodie on the phone last night she asked if I had told Lynn about her and Nika showing up for the day. They are just here for the beach. I told her that I hadn’t yet since they weren’t staying and it was early in the week. I then asked if I should tell her, she said that she would. All this time Lynn was in the room, and when I hung up she asked “tell Lynn what?” I said that Jhodie will tell you. Again she asked me and again I told her the same thing. Then she moved on to watching and anime that she downloaded. I know that she went looking for a bleach ep, but she got XY or something like that instead.

Well, I left the house a little later then I did yesterday, I can’t do that again tomorrow. I was walking with a nice good stride with Jen Lopez singing along with others and I go to the top of the last road leading to the main street just in time to see a guy in front of me catch the bus that I did yesterday. The driver saw me and remembered me and backed up the street to get me. Ya! I thanked him and then held on as he raced to town. I got there a little earlier then yesterday, but had to wait a bit longer to catch a bus to work.

Ok, I think that I’ll stop boring you now, but just one more thing.

Remember I talked about a poster before I went to lunch yesterday. Well I did check I out and it seems that that lady that gave me the interview for this job had her birthday this week and is having a party at Rumors and that everyone was invited, just RVSP so she knew how much she had to pay for. It’s this Saturday night. I would have gone if I wasn’t going to be in St. Kitts.

Just thought of what I will be having for breakfast or for dinner tonight if there isn’t any again when I get home. I have a can of tuna, a can of some kind of veggie, and I can buy some bread on my way home and I think that there is some mayo in the fridge. I’ll try and get wheat bread.

30 mins to go until lunch.

Bye… for now.

======

Didn't do Thursday's yet. I should get around to it today along with todays (friday)

See ya.
