New Year

So we are all supposed to be all about Change and improvement. I mean those Electoral Colleges dudes gave us a big ole helpin of change by deciding that we needed to have someone with basically NO EXPERIENCE in much of anything over seeing the BIG RED BUTTON, and answering the red phone.
For myself, I have resolved to quit smoking, and not sweat the small stuff. So I bought my last pack of cigarettes Friday, and "yeah me!" I have not bought another one. Maybe if I wasn't a smoker I would not of broken my ankle. I am sure that there is a joke in there somewhere, but I don't know where. I broke my ankle 2 weeks ago @ work, walking down some stairs, on my way to smoke my lunch. While that probably sounds funny, the best part was having to crawl up 3 sets of stairs on my hands and knees because the person who finally came out to help me (I had been sitting there crying like a baby for 10 mins) is pregnant and could not help me up the stairs.
Anyway, I think that I got side tracked there.....
So no more smoking, and not sweating the small stuff. Sounds simple right? Well perhaps I should not of tried to tackle BOTH of these @ the same time. Seriously, I work in a call center, I do not always get the brightest people on the other end of the phone. And while I want to tell them to by a vowel, and get a clue (that is if they can afford it these days) I vowed to smile and be happy. "No I can not cancel your order, it has already shipped" "So you canceled it right?" "Well, if by cancel you mean, it shipped out and is on it's way to you then yes, idiot" is what I'd like to say. I was pissy enough that once I actually responded with " Unfortunalty there is no way for me to chase down the US Postal Truck and say, 'Hey mind if I get that package back from you? The customer changed their mind.' " I heard nothing for a few seconds then "OH! It already shipped!"
I am pretty sure that I have vented enough for one night, but no worries (my motto for '09) I will be back for your amusement another day. I am thinking that I can spew about tail gaters for a bit.
