You are an EMD SD90MAC locomotive. You are big and
powerful. The railroads choose you to haul the
trains that are too heavy for the other
locomotives to handle.

What kind of locomotive are you?

everyone needs to take this quizilla! My friend Rolla made it :D

so, today i headed off to work like a good boy, just to get there and have them tell me 2 hours later to go home, there’s not enough work to keep me there. how nice of them. i just got my new laptop, and now i need to pay it off, yet i can’t work. this’ll be nice. i at least wish they would call me before my shift and tell me not to come in so i could possibly sleep late. i should have taken a nap when i got home, but for some reason i didn’t. ah well.

i’m supposed to work tomorrow, but i’m thinking of calling in and taking a personal day. my mother wants to go to NH to get some powerball tickets, and with it being a nice day, i would like to go, rather than being stuck inside answering phones all day and dealing with ungrateful customers who decide they want to curse at me.

*sigh*

What is Your Heart REALLY Made of?

i took 159 calls yesterday at work. i think i’m going to start keeping track of how many calls i take each day. it’s amazing what kind of people call me.

yesterday i had one guy call me and order a pair of pants, and a lightweight shirt. for each item he asked me if that’s the kind of material that can be rinsed out, hung out to dry, and dries in about an hour. what?! he said he’s not a hight-maintenance guy, never takes his clothes to the dry cleaners. you don’t have to take your clothes to the dry cleaner to clean them. that’s what washers and driers are for. odd.

i also had another guy call me to complain that LL Bean and MBNA (the issuer of the LL Bean Visa card) have changed and he’s not happy with is and he’s close to taking his business away. i appologized and told him that i could connect him with someone in customer service whom he could express his concerns to and hopefully resolve the probelms. at that point he got irate, and proceeded to say “i thought you were customer service. i’m not going to repeat myself every 5 minutes! FUCK YOU!” *click*

after dealing with people like that, i feel i need to treat myself some way. and not feel guilty about it if i can help it.. now, gotta find out what to treat myself with…

why don’t you leave your answers in my comments :)

As a mother passed her daughter’s closed bedroom door, she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter giving herself a real workout with a vibrator.

Shocked, she asked,”What in the world are you doing?” The daughter replied, “Mom, I’m thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I’ll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.”

The next day, the girl’s father heard the same buzz coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator. When he questioned her as to what she was doing, the daughter said, “Dad, I’m thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I’ll ever get to a husband! Please, go away and leave me alone.”

A couple days later, the wife came home from a shopping trip, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter, and heard that now familiar buzzing noise coming from, of all places, the family room. She cautiously entered that area and observed her husband sitting on the couch, staring at the TV with the vibrator next to him buzzing like crazy.

The wife shrieked, “What the hell are you doing?” The husband replied, “I’m watching the ball game with my son-in-law.”

so, just to blow off some steam, i had a customer call today, order a number of items, and when it came time to pay for it, he wanted to first use his gift certificate and then place the balance on his visa card. while getting the info for the GC, i got the number, the issue date, and then the value.. which was 50¢..

lame?

yesterday, after looking in the paper for beds, i finally found a full-sized bed for $100. the set includes a frame, box-spring, firm mattress and a nice headboard. and the guy who sold it to me is moving to florida so he’s selling all of his furniture. at the same place, my mom got a new couch and recliner for our new apartment when we move, and i will also try to get the guy’s computer desk (which he’s selling for $50 for the desk and chair).

it feels good not sleeping on the floor again.

until i can return the air mattress to Walmart, i’ve patched the new-found hole with some extra-sticky clear duct tape. it looks like it’s holding for now. let’s hope it holds all night with me sleeping in it, and tossing and turning, though i should be dead tonight after the poor sleep last night..

so, last night, about an hour after i went to bed, i was on the floor. it seems that my air bed sprung a leak. so much for puncture-resistant materials.. after inflating it one time, and being on the floor within an hour, i decided to leave it like that and i slept on the floor. my back is killing me, and i have no idea what i’m going to do about a bed from today on. my old bed is burried in storage where i can’t get at it.

lovely.
