This is one of those days you just wish you stayed in bed. I woke up today with a gut feeling that this day was going to be different, but I said to myself “The heck with this day.” So I got up and staggered along to the washroom like I usually do, smoked a cigarette and watched TV. I didn’t feel like coming to work at all; a feeling that i get daily. I was watching a cool movie on HBO but I knew I should be running off to work already despite the usual I-don’t-feel-like-it mood I was in, so I settled for coming in late for work. 2 hours late. So there I was getting ready for work and as I got into the bathroom to take a quick bath, the water was cold, really fuckin cold. So as the ice cold water streamed down my head through my spine to my ass, my whole body jerked and I was shiverring like hell. Almost as if I fell into thin ice. So I squeezed in into my bed and covered myself with my blanket and bed sheets and I felt so warm it took me another 30 minutes to pry myself out of my warm and cozy bed. Time’s journey into the whole day seems to take seconds, as I lay there tucked in into those sheets hours seemed like minutes, minutes like seconds and I was growing impatient. My fucking phone rang. Another one of my agents are going to be absent. I could almost imagine Derick’s face (my boss) with his white post-its in his left hand, a pencil on his right with that silly look on his face as he consistently grinds his teeth looking into that piece of paper like the menu from a restaurant he’s never been into. Damn. That’s 2 for the week. So there I was jotting along to work, I could have sworn that I was already feeling better; then I guess I should have listened to my Mom about swearing. When I got to work, it seemed to be just another one of those long tiring same-as-yesterday work day that we usually have. During the shift, I went down with one of my buddies to withraw at one of our ATMs in the building, I tried one of the ATMs, chucked my ATM card in and tried to withraw 4 thousand of our currency in there. Little did I know, that the machine was unavailable. So we skated off to the nearest one that works. we ended up in another one just not so far away from the first one, and as I took my cash and my transaction slip, the money I was supposedly withrawing from the first ATM took the money out of my account. Fucking machine. So I ended up calling all the phone numbers on the ATM card and going through endless IVRs (interactive voice responses) only to find out, that it will take them 15 working days to work on my fucking complaint. But it only took them a couple of seconds to take the money out of my account. I work in a call center for an electric company in Texas and we handle billing concerns, damn, now I know exactly what they feel like whenever they make payments through us online and the money don’t go through. I promise to be nicer to them next time. Well, moving forward into this pathetic excuse of a day I’m having so far, I had to settle my payables here at work. I ended up being so unproductive today talking about and writing about the stuff I went through the whole day. Should have stayed at home.
Sigh.
