TGIF! lol Thank God its Friday. This week has been so tiring I cant even explain it. I even had a nap for an hour today. So the new girl that I was training is pretty hardcore. She’s already doing tickets. Thats great but her primary job is to watch for new tickets that are coming in and to answer phones. I dont know if its because she’s scared to answer phones or she’s not ready. But yeah something tells me she’d rather do the tickets than give them out.
So back to the tiring part, if I’m tired this week, chances are next week I’m going to be even more exhausted. I hope I’m in the 200 level as I’ve been in 100 the entire time last home stand. Finally saw Happy Feet in my Creative mp3/video player. It was cute. Alot of singing. I really wanna see Spider Man 3. If Topher was not in it, I dont think I would wanna see it as much as now. lol I’m a sucker for geeks. :shhh:

Our company is so behind in technology compared to the rest of society that we’re just starting to install service pack 2 for XP. Everyone has either have it or started installing Vista yet here we are still doing the sp2 upgrade. The chaos has already started. Tickets have started to come in. It’s crazy really. We tried to do one ticket about sp2 today and it took us 1.5 hours. He was sorta my guinea pig since I tried out so many different things until we got to “plan C”. It was basically a trial & error sorta thing. Next week is going to be chaotic due to new tickets about sp2. So thats that.
I went to visit my former job yesterday. Basically this was when I used to do retail. The assistant manager there said that if I do need to come back in the fall, I can apply again and maybe get hired. That’s good since I wont have 2 jobs then… After Blue Jays, I will have 0 jobs so maybe applying there might not be so bad. I just dont like the politics, the thing about sucking up to customer on how much they look good in their clothes even though they dont and the ‘goal’ concept. :slant: Oh well. The only good thing is the discount which is half price. But first I wanna get a job from school which I know pays alot more than retail. We’ll see..

Alright so all this hype in Facebook is kinda ridiculous. Being a member in MySpace is no longer cool since everyone is joining this Facebook thing. I admit I’m a late bloomer. I just signed up to Facebook in December 2006 while my buddies already have like 100 wall posts. It also took me a while to sign up for MySpace. I dont see what the hype is about MySpace expect to show off your ugly html skills on your MySpace page. Then Facebook comes along and it’s even more creepy than MS. People can see what youre writing, who youre ‘friends’ with etc. Yes I know you can turn that off. But really who has the time to change the Privacy Settings. I also had a hard time looking for it. :embarass: Ah well. It’s not like I have anything to hide. I log into FB once a day (scary I know) and as soon as I see that I have no Friend requests, no new wall posts and no new messages in my Inbox, I leave. That sounds like I have no friends in FB but really I just dont bother with writing on people’s wall if I have nothing to say. I can just call them right? It’ll die down just like MS in a few years.. And all these new stories about students getting suspended because they posted photos and comments about their teachers is just ridiculous. Who asked teachers to go to FB and look for insults on their photos anyway? If you dont like it, dont go to it. Freedom of speech is no longer relevant to the education system. It’s like theyre going to monitor FB for any cruelty towards their teachers. What’s even better is if these students get smart and start posting videos of their teachers in Youtube. That would be funnier. Who’s going to know if you posted it when you can come up with any nickname you want. Right??

If my mother asks me to clean my room and I did this, my mother would be very happy because I never clean my room. My room isnt THAT messy anyway. Some people are just too much.
Also gay flamingos are not that uncommon at all… Just like society..
A pair of gay flamingos have adopted an abandoned chick, becoming parents after being together for six years, a British conservation organisation said Monday.

Carlos and Fernando had been desperate to start a family, even chasing other flamingos from their nests to take over their eggs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) in Slimbridge near Bristol.
But their egg-sitting prowess made them the top choice for taking an unhatched egg under their wings when one of the Greater Flamingo nests was abandoned.
The couple, together for six years, can feed chicks by producing milk in their throats.
“Fernando and Carlos are a same sex couple who have been known to steal other flamingos’ eggs by chasing them off their nest because they wanted to rear them themselves,” said WWT spokeswoman Jane Waghorn.
“They were rather good at sitting on eggs and hatching them so last week, when a nest was abandoned, it seemed like a good idea to make them surrogate parents.”
Gay flamingos are not uncommon, she added.
“If there aren’t enough females or they don’t hit it off with them, they will pair off with other males,” she said.

Hahah crazy!!!! They can adopt as many chicks as they like. No more abandoned chicks!
