    So to start, I only made 1 sale at work yesterday. HORRIBLE. Pathetic even.

    I get let out early so I could stop taking calls for the day. And instead of being able to still sit around and watch the Monday night game they kick me off the call floor. Bogus.

    Then on my way home I check my bank account to see how much money is in there. I'm expecting $120 or so and it's $40.

    Skip to getting home......

    I walk in my front door and flip on my light to see that somebody smeared cocaine across my bigscreen. My tv stand is glass and they were using that as their tray. I'm pretty sure they lost their balance standing up and that's how the coke got on my tv and my wall.

    Then I'm watching $25 go down the drain because I bet on Philly last night and they forgot how to play football in the second half, it seems. And I lose $25.

    I wake up at 6 o'clock this morning with a raccoon IN MY FACE. Literally, I was basically nose to nose with this thing. I jumped, it ran, and we trapped it in a bedroom.

    The animal control guy showed up and tells me he can't find it and I'm just going to have to buy a trap to catch it myself. It was sleeping. It wont be sleeping when I get home.... bogus, again.

    Now, in the middle of creating this thread my supervisor says she needs to speak with me. I transfer the call that had JUST come in to a co-worker so I can talk to her.

    She was writing me up.

    And the call I gave away was a sale......


    Fuck this shit.

    I don't even know where to begin with that one...

    Those raccoons are brave and will straight up come into your house..

    It will all be well lad, laugh at it, cause it's pretty damn funny..

    sorry, I know it's mean to laugh, but come on, that's some pretty funny stuff.. (not about your work though, that's pretty poopie..)...

    @shroom: The raccoon thing I find quite amusing. I'm just super tired of people in my house. And I have only three options, really. Drop a few hundred dollars on a surveilance system. Drop a few hundred dollars to move. Or sit back, shut up, and eat shit about it.

    I'm cheap and subsequently will probably be doing the third. It's just frustrating.

    And I don't really care about the job. I'm only going to have it while I have it and that's that. At this point I can make it fine without it and while I wouldn't be able to save as much as I've been used to, it would greatly improve my quality of life in general and give me more time to focus on my plans.

    I'm really just tired of people in my house more than anything. Which not having a job would fix that shit. . . .

    @ HHB:

    I usually don't get much consolation out of other peoples misery. Sounds like you're pretty well prepared to get by without the job for a while though, so I do hope you enjoy the free time and get a bit of R&R

    I wish. I swiped a bit to taste it at first to see if that's what it was or if it was baby powder or something.

    It was crappy and maybe enough for a bump was left over......

    You're telling me. I wouldn't even have been pissed if there had been a decent pile left. It was cut more than Cher's face has been though.

    People are so lame.
    I dont even mess with soft anymore, but the last time I was getting it was pretty decent for Philly. Most of what goes around here is beyond laughable, but every now and then you meet a dude whos cool.

    cokeheads...

    if you want to move, you should move.. No reason to sit around and be unhappy in life, sure things always look hard and like too much effort, but really, it's better than sitting and being miserable...

    People sit and say how much they want change, make the change happen! Keep hope alive! Stay strong sister!--okay, I'm done...

    ugh, sounds like a truly horrible day... but the raccoon thing is pretty funny, i had no idea they were that brave. we had a family of them living under our house in cali, but i don't think i've seen one since living there... maybe in the northeast without really noticing.

    I didn't think they were that brave either. But he was surely close enough to kiss.

    What's funny is that ever since I was a kid I LOVED raccoons. My first thought was, "Awww a cute raccoon". Immediately followed by, "Holy shit! That things real. I'm not dreaming."

    I'm just glad it got scared and ran instead of freaking and attacking.

    Shroom, I could easily move. I just don't want to spend the money I've saved because that'll put off me being able to buy a house and that's really the seed of all my plans. So it's like I could move now and then move again later AND be set back in my plans OR I can deal with it and just move during tax season.

    Stop bitching if I don't want to fix it right? I know.... ;)

    Yup. Only one sale. Had 3 more but they didn't have a credit card which means no sale even though they passed the credit check.

    Jack Bauer also gets paid to have bad days. I just get stuck with it.
