I should've given less notice... ;)
Jun. 2nd, 2003 02:13 pmSeriously... I'm incapable of not caring enough about this job. I still find myself stressing out over clients and my statistics, even if they're now meaningless.
I wish I didn't have that knee-jerk reflex of trying hard with each client. Not that I want to give them bad service, but I'm still trying to help the company (by selling, by not deactivating their line, whatever). Honestly, I should just be giving them what they want if it's not the end of the world. Yeesh. Who cares if my stats suck ass at the end of two weeks?
I'm such a weenie.
Am also befogged and befuddled, thanks to the sleeping pill I had to take last night in order to get any sleep at all because I was so worked up over quitting today.
I shouldn't have, in retrospect, got so anxious and upset, because it went really well. ALl I have to do is go through an exit interview sometime in the next two weeks, and it'll be all good.
*snooze*
My head feels like it's wrapped in cotton wool, and I'm *still* tired.

Heh heh heh...
Jun. 2nd, 2003 05:08 pmY'know, two days ago I would have been worried about having almost two hours of "not ready" time clocked on my computer.
Today?
"Hah! Eye speet on yor not reddy!" *ptooie*
*insane giggling*
Now, if only I could make that apply to how I feel about all the rest of my job too. ;)

Something I never thought I'd do...
Jun. 2nd, 2003 06:01 pmI did some housecleaning on my friends list.
Now, before you all go and get your knickers in a twist -don't. I only got rid of communities that I wasn't really following anymore, and a few people who either had never updated their journals ever (sorry, Muse, but I diteched![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
devilnboxers), or who added me a while back and then stopped posting, like horny_baboon or emily_vespera.
No one with whom I have ever interacted has been cut, because I lurve you all to death.
I just needed to de-clutter a bit. :)

Because, what else is there to do? ;)
I have nine days and three and a half hours left before I'm finally free. The countdown continues. :D
Expect to see this a lot in the next two weeks.
`
joane, I managed to get Saturday off (I swapped with someone), so I'll call Amanda to get directions and stuff. :)
I thought that, after I gave notice, that I might start liking my job better, or at least dislike it less, since I wouldn't be so stressed out about it. Nope. Not even a little bit, even though my clients have been pretty good today: no pointless bitching and moaning, no screaming, no yelling, no cursing. All in all, a red-letter day.
I think I may call in sick a day or seven next week. ;)
Hopefully I'll hear from Bankers soon. While I'm very good at proclaiming "Who cares if I have no job so long as I'm rid of this festering sinkhole!" I'd still like not to be jobless in the near future. Of course, I always have Chapters, or UQAM if worse comes to worst.
My supervisor actually took the news of my leaving quite well. She's a nice lady, even if she is nothing but a corporate mouthpiece. I do have to credit her that she really believes all the crap that they've been feeding her and that she consequently tries to regurgitate to me, so I can't say she's a hypocrite or anything. I think she just lacks critical distance. :)
*happy sigh*
"Soon we'll be away from here, step on the gas and wipe that tear away! One sweet dream came true today..."

The system is down!
Well, partially. :P
This is one of the numerous reasons I'm quitting.
*sigh*
Our EMS (Emergency Messaging System) reads: "We are aware of the problems some of you may be experiencing accessing clients' accounts. Please remain online and assist the clients as best you can. Thank you for your cooperation."
Translation: "We expect you to work even though there's nothing you can tell the clients that will actually help them. Oh, and by the way, since we know this will affect your talk time in a positive way, we're going to adjust all our goals for the day to make sure you're penalised as much as possible. Oh, and we're going to reduce the staff at the help desk *and* the department for irritated customers, because we enjoy making your lives that much harder."
But I don't care anymore. ;P

One hour and ten minutes...
Jun. 2nd, 2003 07:47 pmI've accumulated nearly three hours of "not ready" on my computer. Muah!
It's really nice out... *sighs and looks out the window*
I'm just going to sit here and spam LJ until my shift is over.
I've deactivated three lines today. Normally I'd have saved all three of those clients, because I have an awesome save rate. Right now I really don't give a damn. It's not like it's going to affect my review. ^_^
I suspect I'm going to accumulate a lot more "not ready" before this day is over. There are 89 calls waiting in the queue, and for all I care they can sit there until the cows come home. :D
I think I'll make some icons tonight.

This is the first Monday in... *counts*... four months that I haven't thrown up! *boogies*
Well, I know there's still 40 minutes left on my shift, but I'm not even feeling queasy. I had the usual icky crampiness thing going on earlier, but that went away as I slowly realised that what I do at work doesn't matter anymore.
Wheeeee!
Yay for not throwing up at work! I should quit EVERY DAY! ;)
