Sticky Rice

So i have this tradition with Jessica. We both LOVE Thai food, and we get the same thing like everytime. Today we decided to try a different Thai restaurant....i'm not sure how impressed i was. First of all the service wasn't as great as the place we usually go to. Second of all, they took FOREVER to get HER food out....for some reason, my food came out pretty quick. Lastly, THEY DIDN'T HAVE STICKY RICE MADE!!! I love sticky rice! When the guy said they didn't have any made, i was like...."Can you cook some?" And he was like "No, it takes a long time...like over night to soak in order to make it..." So i didn't get my sticky rice. All in all, honestly, the food was basically the same. The thing is...this place is like literally less than a minute from my house in driving time...probably like a 5 minute walk....yet i'm pretty sure we're not going to go to that place anymore. I'm willing to drive further just to get better service and better food. AND STICKY RICE!!!

Being Human!!

Whoever put it in their head that it is a good idea for people to have to work on Saturday, should be punished to full extent. I do realize that many places, such as food places, retail stores, and certain businesses do their best on weekends. However, I work in a call center with many other people as well. Ask me, is the call center EVER busy on a Saturday? Generally no! Sure it gets busy sometimes, but that's rare and hardly merits me to work on a Saturday. Of course the gracious company i work for, decided that if you work after 2 YEARS for the company, IN the call center, only THEN would you have the opt out of working Saturdays. I suppose this is a pretty fair deal considering it IS a good company to work for, and they do pay well. But honestly....most people don't even last here beyond a year.

Many times I've debated on quitting my job and finding something else more exciting and unboring. The only thing that stops me is the money i make here, and some of the benefits. If it weren't for that, I'm sure i would have quit long ago. Apart from the benefits, lets be honest. How FUN is a job where i sit on my butt all day answering phone calls from people who most likely aren't going to have ANY idea what they want or what's going. "I've been a distributor for 12 years, but can you explain to me how to use my ADR points?!?!" GET WITH THE PROGRAM!! If you are going to do a business, you should understand what's going on! If you are going to buy products, having a monthly order, DO NOT call me and tell me "i didn't know my order was automatic!" or "You sent me products i never ordered!" First of all, I DON'T send you orders, you send yourself orders! The Distribution Center sends you orders. If you are going to be on an automatic ordering program, UNDERSTAND what the word AUTOMATIC means! I do realize that if you are new to the company that things need explaining, and I'd be more than happy to help you understand these simple things. Just don't make it harder than it needs to be! I'm a person too! I have needs just as well as you do. Everyone makes mistakes and knows they need to improve on certain things, but at the same time we need to learn to deal with circumstances, that even though truly may not have been our fault, with ease and patience. What's the point of causing your Aortic Artery to explode because there is so much blood pumping to your brain from you're ridiculous, unnecessary, ranting and raving. The truth is, i do like my job. I was reminded at how good of a job i have last Tuesday at our company party. I just truly wish the people in the world would get a clue and figure out how to function as a normal human being. It really is not that hard.

OK well enough of my ranting now about my fabulous job. I saw the movie I Am Legend yesterday. I went in kind of knowing what it was more or less about, but still it was a REALLY good movie. Will Smith really is such an awesome actor. I hate when people diss on an actor because of maybe one movie they did way back in the day, or a TV show they starred in that was amazing in the 90's. Anyone that has watched any kind of tense movie with me, knows I'm a jumper. But hey, isn't that the purpose of the director? He did his job, and that's that. Overall i give I Am Legend 4 stars, out of 5. The only thing it really lacked was more of an explanation of how the situation we were presented came to be.

I work til 5:15. Hopefully i can get off early. That is all.

Hum Dee Dummmm

So today. Today was a fabulous day. I don't really know why. Nothing amazing happened. What can i say? I guess it was just a good day. It might have to do with me turning in my Astronomy stuff and the teacher wasn't the wiser that i haven't been to his class in the past like 3 weeks...i mean HONESTLY. If the class lecture, ALL that was said is on the Internet and you can just read it...instead of listen to the teacher read it off the power point...is there REALLY any other purpose of going to class? I believe not!! Some classes, for example Chemistry....which will most likely be the death of me...you need to go to class because even though the power points are on the Internet, it's pretty much impossible to understand them if you don't know what they are about or how to interpret them. So that's my feelings on that. Kelly, my wonderful cousin, was in Provo today, and took me out to lunch to Los Hermanos. It was nice to hang out with her. Good times.
So vent time. Work. Work is fine i suppose, but you know it's really starting to get on my nerves with how tight they are trying to make things. When you try to hold a small child down, usually they struggle more. Anything you try to hold down, it seems they just get worse. I know there has to be limitations, but for real I'm sick of them treating us like babies. It really irritates me that they get mad at us for not knowing EVERYTHING and especially when we don't always get all the info they say we are supposed to. It's ridiculous. I don't' understand it. I know i work for a stellar company...we had our company x-mas party last night. It was awesome...good entertainment, portable DVD player, 2 week pay bonus...etc. it's great! it really is! The thing is, one reason why they treat call center people so well sometimes....well I'm pretty sure it's because they know how bad our job sucks. I HATE up selling..i really do, and i do it because i know i need to. If anyone is going to tell me that up selling helps a distributor, you know i just can't believe that. I know for a fact a lot of people really do get suckered into buying our products. The products are good....this is true...but really expensive and most people that are buying just what they need DO NOT WANT something else they CAN'T afford. I love my job. I really do. I just wish we would have more credit than once a year!
Next semester I'm working 7-12 (noon) and going to school in the afternoon. We'll see how that goes.
All for now.

This, That, and some more

I am at work again. What a suprise. Today....yeah i didn't do anything really at all. I couldn't sleep last night, because i was tossing and turning for some reason. And i had a dream that our house got robbed, like picked clean, and i woke up sweating and like breathing hard....so then i couldn't go back to sleep. So i slept in today and didnt' go to school...big suprise huh? But i cleaned the kitchen up and did the dishes sine it is my dish day. I bought the movie The Thin Red Line a while ago at Wal-Mart for like $5, and i hadn't watched it yet. I started it at 2:00 then i looked at the back cover and saw that the movie is like 3 hours long. I was like...good thing i work at 5. For any who haven't seen it...i'd recommend it if you want to know what it's really like in war, other than that it wasn't terribly amazing. But i like Drama's. I've discovered this recently. I think i like a good drama movie more than anything.
I've decided to just basically....give up on Chem for now. Well not really, i'm still going to class this last week and i'll take the final, but regardless of what i get on the test, i'm just going to retake it. I don't understand it at all and i don't know why. NEVER before in my life have i had something come to me as hard as Chemistry has. I just don't get it. Hopefully retaking it immediatley after taking it the first time, i'll be able to grasp the concepts more and i'm more dedicated since i know what i'll be getting into.
Over the weekend it snowed a ton. I was supposed to go see a movie for free on Saturday morning, but like EVERYONE was busy. PLUS the movie started at 9:30. In the end, i decided just to sleep in and not go. It wasn't worth it. Plus with the snow, and everything elseo going on, i was better off. We got a Christmas Tree on Saturday. Funny thing was, no one brought cash.....Good thing Cami was there. We Love Cami :) Well this is all for now. I can't wait to get off work, get home and get in the hot tub! I NEED IT!!!

Work Work WORK

I am at work. People.....People people.......see i have this thing. I want to go to a ward activity tomorrow night, ONLY because A. I never get to go to anything BECAUSE i work blasted nights. B. It's the Christmas party, which means it'll be something at least half way decent and not lame. C. Even if i can't find a date i could go because you dont' HAVE to bring a date. I am trying to get someone to help me out with just THREE measley hours here at work, but no one is willing. It's lame. That's really all that sums it up. What can i say...i know i need to work, but i work already alot and i'm sick of not being able to do anything because of it.
I feel like being festive, hence the colors :)

Sick and Anatomy

Seriously people, why do i have to be sick? Can anyone answer this for me? I want to RIP my nose off my face right now!!! Oh well. I had my Anatomy Lab final today...i felt like i didn't know anything going into it, but i remembered a lot. It's amazing how the brain...kind of ironic that i'm talking about the brain when i'm referring to anatomy...ANYWAY...It truly is amazing how the brain can remember things you didn't remember even knowing. I think i did ok...i know i didn't' get 100% since i left some blank, but i'm hoping i get better than i did on the midterm, which may not happen, but i'll find out tonight.

I hate working on Fridays. Weekends in general. It's so lame, but i guess there isn't much i can do about it, i mean i need money right? Well if anyone wants to like just give me money, i'm down for it. SWEET! Well i'm going to watch an episode of Full House. It makes me happy. Ta Ta for now.

Holy Chem-i_freaking_stry Sucks!

You Know. I know you do, because we all do. It's been a year since i've posted anything, AND on top of that, i've only EVER posted ONE thing. I'm not going to take the time to go through my life in the past year, since really nothing has changed. I still live in P-town with the same guys, but we live in a house now. Mike Bready moved in, so that's cool. I do have a major now in my BYU Schooling experience....since i really am getting schooled....my major is PDBio (Physiology and Developmental Biology for those of the not knowing lingo type)...which basically consists of the study of the human body....which by the way is A--MAZING. The only thing that sucks, and you should be able to tell from the title, is the fact i have to take a BUTT load, yeah a WHOLE BUTT load of Chemistry to do it.

Well at the moment i think i'm pretty much giving up on Chemistry. I've never failed a class in my life, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to fail it. I've fail THREE out of THREE tests....so i don't know how i will pass it...even if i do, IF...that's a big if.....then i'm not going to have an adequate understanding to advance on to the next one....in all honesty the question i'm asking is this. IS chemistry REALLY that important to anything. Sure it's nice to know how many moles of this when disolved in that make an immensly small amount of a new this...but I DON'T CARE. I just want to be a doctor, or surgeon...something of value to society. I'm sick of my dead end job. It's not really Dead end, but it pretty much is...in that i've tried to advance here and it hasn't worked...EVER...so how am i supposed to advance in anything if i'm failing in everything?

Life just doens't work like that. I dont' understand it. If anyoen can answer to me why life is such a pain sometimes then please, DO tell...i'd really like to know. I know it wasn't a bed of roses for the savior, and i know that following him really is my ONLY option at this point...but AGAIN how can i get out of this RUT that i am stuck it...so deep in seems in doing all the wrong things. Maybe not ALL the wrong things, but probably a good portion of them...of course i know that just making up my mind to change and be better is where it all starts, bu in all honesty how can i change without changing....that may not make sense, but it does in my mind.

Well i think this is enough ranting for now. I'm going to be writing everyday...or as much as i can. I need this...i feel better after this short venting session. Thank you Internet :)
