I'm more likely to get struck by lightning...

You know, I think I should make myself sit down and blog daily...I'm far too tired to blog right now, but I have to be at work in a little while and there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to sleep for a bit before going in, so I guess I'll blog...I'm afraid if I try to go back to sleep that I'm going to wake up even more tired than I am right now, so I'll take my chance and stay awake. As for blogging daily, each day I have stuff that happens and I'm like, "I need to blog" and then I don't. I know, I'm a lazy ass. I get it. And I think I'm okay with that...Let's dive in, shall we?


So, on Tuesday I had a strange call...This guy calls up and says he doesn't have his credit card with him, only his statement. Whatever, this happens all the time and everyone is shocked to find we don't put the whole account number on the statement...And why don't we? In case some jackass takes your bill, they can't go hog wild on Ebay buying anal lube and Scooby Doo memorabilia. (Those two things are unrelated...In case you couldn't tell.) Anyway, I find his account and pull it up. He said, "I want to pay off my card." Great. I apologized to him because my computer was moving slower than Betty White wearing concrete boots. Once I got to the payment screen, he says, "I always told myself that if I won the lottery, I'd pay off my credit cards." I was all, "Oh yeah? You won the lottery?" He went on to tell me that he did and that he won enough to be comfortable for the rest of his life and not have to worry about money again. He talked about how he'd been struggling, but now he'd be okay. As we talked, he discussed the responsibility that comes with having all that money. Finally, he asked me, "Do you want to know how much I won, Heather?" Without missing a beat, I said, "Yesssssss!" *grins* I couldn't help myself. He won $26,000,000. Holy bejesus! Do you know what I could do with that much money!? I want to win that kind of money!! I told him I play all the time, but never win. He said, "Keep playing! Just keep playing!" I wonder if he knows I'm more likely to get struck by lightning than I am of winning the lottery...Still, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy and I wish him all the luck in the world. So many people end up going bankrupt after winning the lottery...I'm crossing my fingers for him...


So, I went to my boss the other day to tell her that I have all these hours of vacation time left that have to be used before the end of the year, but when I checked our vacation scheduler thing, there's no time left for me to use. I know that contradicts itself, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is, there are no open days for me to use. We have an allowance of how much time can be used each day. Well, from here on out, it's basically all taken unless of course I'd like to go into work a minute late on a Monday or leave two minutes early on a Tuesday. My boss said she'd look into it for me. She, after checking with some other people, said, "You'll have to look for what time you can take off because they aren't making exceptions for anyone." Are you kidding me? I booked a couple of random days off in December, but I am not kidding about the minutes left on other days. I now have 22 1/2 hours that I need to burn before December 31st or else I lose them. This is BULLSHIT! Give me my vacation time!!


Okay kids, I have to go finish getting ready for work...If I hurry, I'll have time to go to Starbucks for some crack before going to work...And by crack, I mean a mocha frappaccino! *grins* Mmmm...Nothing like crack in a cup. Peace.
