Busy Holiday

Happy Canada Day!

My day will be spent earning time and a half. Woohoo for extra funds! Afterwards, I'm planning on going to fusty_cabbages' place for an apres-work BBQ, and then we're off to see the fireworks. It will make it difficult to get to bed early, as I need to, but I'll suffer through it somehow. Maybe I'll set myself a goal of dancing at the market in the morning. Anyone want to join me?

I'm having a difficult time reconciling myself with the fact that I'll be working at 8 in the morning, come Monday. Talk about a complete change in gears.

I didn't sleep well last night. The shrill industrial screams of an angry garbage truck woke me at 5:30, and I had a hell of a time getting back to sleep. I had a dream of a tall, good-looking dark man with a beard and a trenchcoat. He rode a bicycle and wielded a sword, and was looking for a place to crash. I didn't invite him in....

Apparently, yesterday was a dreadful day at work. I didn't have a bad time of it, but I guess everyone else was getting the callers from hell. At least one person went home early because she was sick of all the verbal abuse the customers were giving her. In all my time working here, although I've had some cranky callers, none of them have cursed or screamed at me. And most of the time, when I do have a nasty caller, by the end of the call, they apologize to me. I guess I have a mollifying telephone manner.

Today is busier than I thought it would be, considering it's a stat. holiday....

I think I had been working there for a year before I had any truely nasty callers. Although my first independant call ever was a "Super-duper 3rd level member" who was super rude and asked to speak to someone who knew what they're doing. And proceeded to bitch at my superviser about how we train our employees. Over all the nasty calls are pretty rare. But when you do get one of the truely evil people on the phone I can definitely see it sending someone home it sent me home once.
