   One of those days!!!!
Have you ever had one of those days where things start off bad, and then, just...ghaaaa!!!!, they get more and more irritating. Well, I did!!!

Today I started a job on a temporary contract (only a week, but hey it's all work experience, and a bit more cash!!). First off I arrive at the place I'd been told i was working at, only to be told I'd been given the wrong address, and I was supposed to be in the other office a few miles away!!! So already I'm at the wrong place and now I'm gonna be late on the first day. Anyway I get there, the people are understanding because it wasn't my fault (the only encouraging thing about today, lol) and my 'training' began.

I'd been given the role of 'Sales & Hire enquiries assistant' so I deal with calls asking about whether things are available to hire or for sale etc. Fine, but I did't know what they sell or hire out, and I still don't even now!!! Basically, it supplies temporary offices to go on construction sites, but thats all I knew!!

They didn't have an actual list of the things they sold that I could look at, because the people who worked there had been there so long that they knew all he stuff off by heart!!! I had a half hour where they tried to explain it to me, I'm not the sharpest pin in the box, but I'm not the bluntest either (You know what I'm talking about, even if I don't!!!), but they might as well have been talking another language!!! Then they stuck me on the phone and said, have a go, you'll be fine!!!

If on your first call someone asks you "Do you have a 20 foot Jackleg and 5 30foot steel stores, and how much will they cost per week to hire. Also what will the transport costs be?" And they want an answer because they're in a hurry, and you're like me, then you might just start gibbering absolubte talkish!!!

I spent the whole day with calls like that, with angry people getting anoyed and shouting at me to hurry up over the phone all day!!! My brain hurts!!! And I have to look forward to it all over again tomorrow!! Lol

Anyway, something anime related (It wouldn't be right to have a post entirely donated to my temporary bouts of insanity!!!), I have a new pic in the works, hopfully I can make it a goody, a project for the weekend!!!! Also, I only need one more send on my E-cards to make it to 100 sends (nudge, nudge, wink, wink.)!!!!!

WOW thats the longest post I ever did!!!! Anyway, cheers for reading all of this!!!

Later!!!! ^_^
