work

sometimes i really love the clients we work with.
other days, not so much.
actually, i have a list of people i don't like:

• UT Commercial for sending us 10 orders at 5:15 (when i get off work at 5:30)
• Vintage for asking stupid questions and over using "?!"
• Premium for sending me updates without saying they are updates, or sending orders we already have

however, our friends at Nations are quite entertaining, Nano in particular (or Ntagg as I know him).

He hates his job about as much as we do. and he is not afraid of stating so. He loves us though. a lot. (and why not? we're amazing here at Stock Title)

every once in a while he'll leave us little hidden messages in his emails for new orders, like this one today:

"In case you were wondering, yes, there is somebody out there named Nolyn Hardy-Starbuck. I bet she's related to Bobby Soggy-Waffle"

HAHA. oh the joys.

"SL order. 3 parcels. I'm sorry. I love you" --> that one was the subject title haha.

i don't even know...

so, i got a job. i've been here almost two weeks and i've got a job. pretty fantastic, i'd say. i knew it'd be a lot easier once i was actually in the state. i have two offers, to be honest. but i'm going with the second one. I'm working at a stock title and lien company in orem. it's a little bit less pay and the hours are later than the first option (the disability firm) but it's closer to my house, and it's a smaller company, so i'm not just a face in the crowd, nor am i doing work that everyone else can do. i'm the only one that does my job, so i'm important, and i get to know everyone in the office. it's pretty great. and i just felt so much better about this position than the other.
however, i now am full-time employed at the stock title firm, part time employed as a scorekeeper for parks and rec, AND part time employed as a typist. so basically it's like i'm working two full time jobs. i don't know how i feel about that. i LOVE working softball and basketball. it's almost like it's not a real job. however, those hours are right after my day job. so my social life is basically non-existant. and typing just takes a while. and is not as fun. especially from home. however, i do like that i can do it whenever i have time (aka weekends or nights i'm not working sports). but again, cuts into my social life.
so let's take a look at my week currently:
monday-stock title 9-5, soccer game 5:30-6:30, dinner, typing, bed.
tuesday-stock title 9-6, softball 6-10:30, dinner, typing (maybe), bed.
wednesday-stock title 9-6, typing/dinner, ward kickball game 9:15, bed
thursday-stock title 9-6, softball 6-9:30, typing (maybe), bed.
friday-stock title 9-6, typing, FREE TIME, bed.
saturday-softball 9-5, FREE TIME, bed.
sunday-church 10:30-1:30, lunch, typing (if it's available), dinner, ward prayer, FREE TIME, bed.

wow. so busy. just typing that made my head hurt.
i should probably get off: facebook, blogger, gmail, itunes and start working, huh? i need all the weekend free time i can get.

hit list

at work we deal with some pretty, shall we say, interesting characters?

most of them we don't interact with face to face, unless they work for us (investigators).

as a typist, i hear the people the investigators talk to and sad to say, i make some pretty harsh judgments based solely on what i hear.

these interviewees make or break my day. if they speak clearly and slowly, i like them.

if they mumble, stutter, speak in incomplete sentences, or talk quickly, usually i: get a headache, get bored, get annoyed and towards the end, threaten to shoot them in the face.

{i have also learned of more of my pet peeves this way}

thus, the other girls in the office [jamie and kayli] and i have decided to make a hit list of people, clients, claimants and even investigators that we would like to punch. or shoot. or throw water balloons at.

it's really great actually.

a list of my pet peeves is forthcoming. it's going to be amazing.
