Rant time!

First, some colby to soothe thy palette.

Second, and update on the pt job: The interview was funny. I had to take a typing test that was listening to a fake phone conversation and typing it as you go. Luckily there was a "Pause" footpedal. I aced it the second time around. The first/practice time, it was hard to get used to the footpedal & not let the conversation get away from you. There was a spelling test (words given over headphones)...easy easy. The weird one was learning how to work with voice recognition software, which a big part of the job. As the person is speaking, you have to speak with them, repeating what they say. It's hard to keep only one word behind what they are saying. Try it sometime. :-) Anyway, I was hired & start training on the 30th. The training is 3 weeks of 4-10pm/5 days a week. Ack, that on top of my full time job will suck! But then it goes to pt hours. At least the extra cash will be nice. Chris interviews today for the same job.

I've been sooooo irritable lately, especially at work. Things that are ticking me off.

1. My boss is driving me mad. She flits around and trys to do stuff on her own, making more messy confusion than need be.

2. Message board peeps that think their sh!t doesn't stink. There's one person in particular, that pops in at OT occassionally, that just makes me angry 90% of the time with pessemistic, arrogant comments.

3. Gloating. This is not the same as being very happy about something good you just did (e.g., passed the bar, got a new job, had a baby) and wanting to share your happiness with others. This is about showing off something or constantly having to let people know how good you are at something. At work, online and at home I seem to be dealing with a lot of this.

4. People eating while they are talking. Lump my boss into this category. She constantly meets with people and woofs down food while she's talking. And the lunch group has someone that slurps their soup. Gross.

5. Every pretty girl thinking they have a stalker. I'm around college students a lot...many of them are convinced that every guy that sees their address is going to stalk them. Or if a guy calls a few times and the girl isn't interested, or he text messages a lot....he's gotta be a stalker.

6. Princesses. "Oh my god, I can't function until I go to Starbucks." "Like, who does she think she is saying that to me?" "He only got me a card for Valentine's Day, that's not among the acceptable gifts." Most of these girls also think they are being stalked.

7. Celebrities. I'm so over them right now. Sometimes I get on a kick where I want to buy Us or People. Now, I'm so sick of seeing celeb gossip that I want to puke.

Ok, I'll stop ranting now.
