Hey look! I'm alive...
So... things have been crazy lately thanks to work starting back up. Currently I have 175 applications sitting on my desk ready to be processed. What came in last night is still sitting on Diane's desk to be prepped. The previously processed 475 are sitting in Bosslady Diane's office for her to sign. 476-525 are sitting in our office waiting to be added to this stupid list they're making us do this year and 525-575 are waiting to be put together and the letters mailed.
All that's not counting any of the Direct Certification kids. We still have from M on to mail out. Several hundred there.
Have I ever said I hated the beginning of school? lol
Diane and I said fuck it this year though. We're doing it our way. It's going smoother than any other year I've been here. The first year I had NO help and was trying to do it all by myself. Well the very first year I wasn't hired until October so I missed this all hehe Last year was a HUGE MESS that took MONTHS to sort through even with two people helping me. This year, Diane and I just pwn :D
Cindy's driving me fucking nuts though. Everyone online knows I hate her haha but really... she's... argh! People are calling and asking about their applications, whether they've been processed or not because they're being charged for lunches when they don't think they should be. Well like I said... We're working on it... We're really not far behind for all that whining I did. A day and a half behind? Which isn't behind at all, really. I CAN process 125 apps a day IF I get no phone calls and emails but when Cindy's not in the office to answer phones, guess who gets to? Yeah so... I've been averaging about.... 50 a day. only fucking 50. It's frustrating the hell out of me. The other day I worked from 7:30-11:30 JUST ANSWERING EMAILS. Came in to work and had 46. By 9:30 I STILL had 43 because I kept getting more. So stupid :|
ANYWAY!! Why Cindy's driving me nuts...
So people call asking about apps. So instead of telling them that we DO technically have 10 days to process each app, she goes and makes me LOOK for it. Uh.. yeah, I want to look through a couple hundred apps to see if we have one. THEN if I do find it, she wants me to process it RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Thus putting it out of order and throwing off the whole system Diane and I have set up. I do love Diane flipping Cindy off all the time hehe Cindy could be an RP mun... seriously.. She's always like OMG!1! DRAMAZ!!! Diane and I just shake our heads and say things like "Well now we know why it's so hot in our office all the time... All the hot air blowing in from out there..."
So I finally told her we weren't going to give ANY apps priority anymore. It takes too much time. If you want things done faster, you COULD help.. Pfft whatever.
Soooo by the time I get home, it's really hit or miss if I feel up to being part of the world or not. Most likely, I WILL be irritated and fairly short tempered. The muses have suffered because of this. I SHOULD have put them all on hiatus (omg is it hard to NOT type it wrong XD) when I went back to work, but I thought I could handle it. Obviously I forgot what work does to me.
And it's not just work. There's poor roomie too ;o; I want to just go "Be healed!" and have her magically fixed. Nothing I can do but sit here and go T^T all the time which I'm sure gets annoying. I annoy myself with it. Soo.... It's not that I stopped caring! I just.. don't want to be annoying >.>; And I'm tired of everyone asking me how she is. I know they're just being nice and caring but... NO CHANGE, PEOPLE! STOP ASKING. :| I'll tell you if it changes :P
Oh... and if I AM short with people, I'm sorry... I don't mean to be. I guess this is mostly for lovely roomie. T^T I swear I'm not really giving you the cold shoulder when I get home. I'm just stressed and trying to unwind and have nothing to say that's not complaining and and... yeah, sorry ;o;
omg this is getting long... sorry guys :x
On the up side... Is there an up side?
Oh yes!
So yesterday morning
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
magebane messages me and said he and
littlekarichan were talking and decided they wanted me to come out there sometime during my winter break. I haven't seen him since the wedding and having seen her since.. last winter break lol So Mom's for Thanksgiving since Dad'll be in Afghanistan by then :( I think it'd be nice if Carrie could come home too, but working in retail pretty much kills that thought hehe Then their place for some time in December.
I'd originally planned to go to Mom's with
kylaqueorie but for financial issues that's not gonna happen :( Ugh. Just another stress causing issue. I'm trying really hard not to, but... It's invading my dreams now lol After January, things will look better on that front. I've just got to make it that long lol Can we jump to next year already? I'm so done with this one.
.....yeah as I was typing this in between phone calls, Cindy has me look through all the apps again to find one stupid kid. HAVE PATIENCE PEOPLE! WE'LL GET TO YOUR APPLICATION WHEN WE GET TO IT! I'M JUST ONE PERSON. And fuck you Cindy for making everything need to be done RIGHT NOW. Could she not see while she was looking at me that I was on the phone fixing yet another fuck up on our leads' parts? God I'm so sick of them already this year. I've fixed so many of their stupid and careless mistakes. HOW can you split a $60 check in two... 60/30? Twice? Makes no sense.
No wonder it takes me until bedtime to unwind if I'm already seething this early in the morning.
Fuck you, world.
ahaha
I gave Diane a little heads up about the state of things before she came in...
[09:27] Me: The app Cindy had me dig for... I found it in the stuff that came in yesterday. I told her too bad. We'd get to it when we got to it
[09:27] Diane: Good for you -- what did she say?
[09:28] Me: She kinda looked at me funny "....okay."
[09:28] Diane: Don't those two realize that digging through all those F****ng applications just slows down the process
[09:30] Diane: Well, I'm signing off -- headed out the door. Do you want me to bring along a 'bottle' -- we could really get the applications approved if we took a few swigs !! CU soon
I do so love her~
