I made you a cookie but I eated it.



Tonight I was going to complain about my work.

I was going to tell you that I probably have the worst job in the world and should be paid far more than I am. I was going to go into all the nitty gritties of why it's bad, probably writing out a list that would go a little something like this:

1. I work for 3 1/2 hours sitting on my butt waiting to go home.

2. Whenever I go to use the hot chocolate machine on my break, the hot chocolate I look forward to from the start of my shift - it's always empty. And I get sad.

3. My job involves me being annoying and potentially ruining hundreds of people's nights per night.

4. I work over dinner time, which means I'm not only a nuisance for people trying to eat as a family, but it also means I get really really hungry.

5. I don't get to eat while interviewing.

6. Talking someone through a 25 minute survey on their opinions on the reputations of current insurance companies is not a great way to spend an evening.

7. I always have to sit next to some guy who's really enthusiastic and into the job and talks REALLY LOUDLY and who is also a know-it-all and likes to tell me how to do my job, and somehow misses the fact that I am better than him. In every way. I win hands down at life.

8. I have a really weak bladder so when I get stuck on a long survey with a droney old woman it can turn into an interesting ride...

9. ...I drink lots of water.

10. My supervisors think I'm a drunk. And I'm not. At all.

See, I was going to write all these not so nice things about my job and how frustrated I was and how badly I want to leave and get a job where I can talk to people without them having the opportunity to hang up on me... but tonight I finally got my first pay appraisal.

And now life isn't so bad. And all my supervisors said nice things in my appraisal too. So I found out that everyone in fact loves me. And I can do no wrong. So maybe I'll stay.



Oh, by the way, feel free to go read my good friend Rob's blog. He actually writes things that are wroth reading and have some significance in the scheme of things. That is all.

No, wait - you have to see this too.

It's not how often u update, or to put it better - it's about quality not quantity. Hands down, my blog is better, I was told it in a vision, which may have been divinely inspired
