it was the first day of actual work for me today. hoping they dont ask me for more work days. first let me ddiscribe what i do. first i enter some dadt in the computer. they try to help me as much as they can but the way they explian it to me is so vague. there are lots of loopholes. i do that from 4-5. then from 5-8 i call old people to remind them that a bus is going to pick you up from this time to this time. the thing is that some people dont understand english, they have a hearing aid and i have to scream at them, or they have ans answering machine and it throws me off guard that i dont know what to say and i end up sounding stupid on the machine. so i feel like im not doing a good job. the place is so boring. there is no music playing so at times its quiet. there is nothing on the walls and i work with a computer and inside a cubical. its bland and i know thats a place where i would not want to end up working. the people there are nice. they have lots of personality and they almost all smoke. its kinda funny hearing them clear their throats and breathing hard but then its kinda sad. i guess the funnisest thing i heard was some guy trying to seel his brothers pentium 2 computer for $600. yeah right. and then they got into this conversation about buying computers from walmart. not a smart place to buy a computer. i was going to say something but i decided to keep quiet and laugh inside. so yeah overall work is blah but im getting paid $8.00 an hour and for a person who had never had a job before thats good. the plus side is that i get to talk to old people. some one today gave me a life story. i talked to her for about six minutes. it was great and she totally understood me. some people were like ok and confused. but i guess looking back it was ok but i would not want to spend my whle life there. i guess thats why everyone makes jokes and picks on each other. its keeps them sane.
i have a really bad head cold. i just want to fall asleep. thats all i wanted to do all day. i going to go to sleep early today. maybe i can go out for a little while and walk with yolis. i have a bad sinus and im developing a cough. it sucks. blah. this morning i didnt want to wake up. oh yeah my pee smells like cold medcine and ocra seeds do not digest.
