Part of the problem not the solution

So as some people may be aware I work as a Customer Service Rep at a company that may rhyme with BomBast. I KNOW you all hate them and I KNOW all the other things you are going to say. And no I can not give you things for free.

People are nasty. I know cable is expensive. I paid (a lot) for it once upon a time. But REALLY! Is it so important that you need to threaten my life and well being because of it?

I have had my life and the life of my never to be born children threatened. People who hope I lose MY job so I know "what it is like"

It usually goes like this...

Annoying Customer: It is ridiculous how much I pay for cable
Me: well, your monthly bill also includes your internet and phone
AC: IT'S TOO MUCH AND YOUS PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS AND I DESERVE A DISCOUNT FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER GIVE ME ONE NOW!!!!!
Me: currently you have a discount already in a bundle promo that gives you about $50-60 off the regular rates of the services
AC: I NEED MORE. THERE ARE OPTIONS NOW. DON'T YOU VALUE ME AS YOUR CUSTOMER???!!
(I do need to point out that usually the customer is talking in a tone that does require I use all caps)
Me: What would you like to have for service?
AC: Exactly what I have now
Me: What we can do is look into another bundle that would reduce the cost but would not
A interrupting C: I DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY ANYTHING I NEED ALL THE PAY CHANNELS AND HOW CAN MY CHILDREN LIVE WITH OUT NOGGIN???!!
Me: Then the pricing you have is the best for you.
AC: THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. YOU KNOW IN THESE ECONOMIC TIMES YOU THING YOU WOULD CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Me: We do that is why we can downgrade service into another promo
AC: CABLE IS SRS BUSINESS AND THAT OTHER COMPANY WANTS MY BUSINESS AND THEY CARE.


And it goes like this EVERY day. Aren't you excited I decided to share?

Things I would like to tell people and don't:
You can spend time with your children
Read a book
Learn that the phase "Yous people" makes you sound ignorant
Look up the word "promotion" in the dictionary
Get a job at the cable company, that is what I did the last time I lost my job.
Go outside it's a beautiful day

Also I hate that fucking "I Love College" song

seriously, it has to be one of the stupider songs ever written.

Why do people like this crap?

Slacker Bitch

So anyway...

Where was I?

Oh right I suck.


Tonight was the second time in a month I avoided being in a semi-serious car accident on I-93.

The night of Dana's bachlorette party I saw a taxi spin out and a newspaper truck slam into the side of the taxi. I had to swerve to not hit them. It was 4 AM and I had been awake for 22 hours. It was a little shocking, but I was TIRED and amazed that I did not hit them in my extreme exhaustion.

Tonight on my way home from work. Coming onto the the highway. Traffic was backed up at 10:30 at night since IT IS BOSTON AND THERE IS ALWAYS TRAFFIC. So I am coming onto the highway on the on ramp and the people in front of me come to a DEAD STOP. I stopped a little short but not tire squealing short. The guy behind me does the same. The JACKASS behind him SQUEAL SMASH right into him. I hear it then look in my rear view and see jackass's car blocking the on ramp since now their car is SIDEWAYS. I didn't stop, since I really had nothing to do with it, didn't see anything, and was TIRED (again). I felt a little bad, still do. But what good would I be REALLY? Besides being a cranky tired bitch (which I am QUITE excellent at)

My big concern is that this is like a "Final Destination" sort of thing and it is only time before the Angel/Demon of Car Accidents catches up with me.

I love my Teenage Dork Machine. No one can hurt her.



me and my car in I think 2005, such an odd photo

I am bad at being a girl

TWO ENTRIES IN A WEEK!! Try not to die of excitement.


Today was Feeney's birthday. We went to Denny's for breakfast/lunch and saw a double feature(or our own making not the theater's)

We saw "Fast & Furious" and "Crank:High Voltage" and yes we wanted to see them.

You see we love action movies. Love to watch people drive fast cars, shoot guns and blow shit up. I would rather see the latest disaster flick than romcom. The world is going to end! I AM THERE!

While telling people of this plan, if they don't know me very well, it may be a bit shocking. Then I realized for possibly the millionth time in my life I SUCK at being a girl.

Before the movies and after food I bought comics.


When I am depressed or upset I will want to watch a slasher movie. When I worked at the video store this was fun. I could walk over and just grab something like "Splatter Dead" (which is TERRIBLE) bring it home and have my troubles hacked away bloody blow by ax wielding blow. It's comforting to know something so simple can cure all.


The last time I was in a killer pissed off mood I went and saw "Let the Right One In" this was magical. They had the blood I expect in a vampire movie. But since the girl in me sometimes peeks around the corner to make sure everything is safe I loved the fact that there was a little romance mixed in. Say what you will this was a love/friendship story more than anything else.



My movie watching habits are just part of it. The part that sparked this rant. For most of my teen years I had more guy friends than girl friends. Its been stated more than once that I "didn't count as a girl" by more than one of them. It wasn't until very recently that I looked around me and found a group of truly amazing women in my life. Friends I have made over the years in one way or another.

Now, I can be as girly as the next female. I love make up and still get all weak kneed over a hot boy (as seen right here in this blog). So I guess if I was a dude I would be very gay.



Jason Statham is BAD ASS!

Seriously...

I am the worst blogger EVER. I need to be better. I need to write more, I need to write again. Not just Twitter.

The fact is I see my life as uneventful.

I work, two jobs even. I could talk about them things happen there. Both revolve around interacting with people. One over the phone and one face to face.

But do I want to talk about how amazing entitled the world is? How people are crazy rude over the phone (my last call today was ended by a customer telling me to " Shut up, go to hell. Fuck You." and I WISH I was joking) but so very pleasant when you serve them food. And I doubt that is because I put mascara on for the latter.

I go to rock shows, A LOT. Hence the second job. I can fangirl like a pro. But really how OLD AM I?

There is another thing. I am turning 35 in 6 weeks (or so). Not pleased. This is causing me to have a bit of an identity crisis, and not in a cool New York Dolls kind of way (see OLD, who makes New York Dolls references?)

So I am going to start to try. Talk about stupid things. Talk about smart things maybe time to time.

For now I will leave it at that.

I suck at this blog

That is ok since I am pretty sure no one really reads it.

Plus nothing really interesting goes on in my life.

Work, work, sleep, rock shows, sleep, work, work, stress out about stupid real life crap, plan to get out of town, work, watch tv, sleep.


That is my life.

I guess it doesn't look that bad, I do feel like I work too much. But don't we all kind of?

Wish I could leave town more, but I pretty much have been doing that once a month. Which is ok.

To end this, Katy Perry kinda bugs the crap out of me.

This broken city sky like butane on my skin

Something I noticed a few weeks ago at work and I decided until to wait until today to post about it.

I say the date today different because of what day it is. I won't say September 11th anymore, it's like it doesn't mean a date.

Now it's always the 11th of September or Thursday the 11th.


I spent that day, all day at Hollywood Express, which was in a basement. We were instructed by the owner to watch light funny things. Due to this I heard very little after 10AM that day of what was happening. It was weird.

It's been seven years, but I think this year I am thinking about it more due to the election and the change that we all hope will come to our country soon.
