I should not have woken up this morning.. and when I did, I certainly should not have even contemplated coming into work!

There seems to be something sitting squarley in my bonnet and I think it may be a little larger than a bee.. Try, a big bloody humungous missile that is about to explode...

I have had a meeting with my manager at work because at the moment I am just about ready to drop down dead with the boredom during the day. He has said that he has 2 different directions in which he would like to move me, one been to inside sales, and the other been to the management team who sort out problems instead of just passing them on.(like I do..) There will be a job coming up in our sales office very shortly and I am going to apply for it. However, so are about 50 other people. I am sure that my manager will sufficiently prep me for the interview but I am quietly confident that there is not a cat in hells chance in my getting it. The reason been that :-

A.) I cannot give a presentation to people which is a requirement in the interview. I handle interviews brilliantly but public speaking is not an area in which I excel. Quite the opposite in fact.

B.) I was in the last training class for my job so they are not about to move me straight to somewhere else.

How people do the job that I am doing day in day out for longer than a few months, I havent got a bloody clue. I take on average around 80-100 calls a day, spent on average 6.30-7 hrs man time on the phone per day, and have the customers repeat the same queries to me day after day after day. I am constantly manned on my "on hold time" my "not ready time" and my "average talk time" (all of which you will be pleased to know I am hitting target for!) But no day ever seems to be different. And yet, you have to remember that the person at fault for this is not the customer on the end of the phone.. even if you are telling them the same thing that you have told another 40 people that day and even if they are raising the same arguments that the person before you raised.. and the person before that... and before that...

My old job in IT was quite entertaining. No two days were ever the same. But I wouldnt go back to working silly shifts again for love nor money..

Why I cant get a job as chief tester for mcvities, Ill never know! Knowing my luck it wouldnt pay more than £3.00 an hour if I did!

PAH!!

Oh, and well done to Jamie who has now completed 10 days worth of "non smoking"... Jamie, now Ive mentioned you, you just watch the slating your get if you kick in with it again now!! ;) very well done though!!

oh, and Andy (my ex) has put his house up for sale. It seems a bit wrong that I moved to Coventry to live with him and now hes the one moving away..

oh, and my andy is still very much the love of my life whom I am going to marry and live the fairytale with! Every minute of knowing him is making me fall deeper and deeper for him... Although he may single-ise me when he finds the video Ive posted of him and Stacey on my facebook account... Oops..
