Merry Christmas Ya'll!

I know it's late but oh well... this week was kinda fun my sister came home for the the holidays and we kinda had just a "chillax" week. She brought all the kids over and baked some Christmas cookies they had some fun even Reno with his smartass attitude had fun. Here are some pictures...



Oh on Wednesday I started my late shift at work starting at 3:30 to midnight, it's crazy I'm just glad it's only for a couple weeks because I would not be able to do that. Anyway hope you all had a great Christmas!

Christmas is a time to think about others

This is my sad little Christmas Tree that Rosie and I decorated.

So Saara's church did this thing that's real nice, they kinda adopted a family to try to make this Christmas very special. They were some Asian family that came over because the wife needed an open heart surgery of some sort and they didn't really have the money to actually stay. The kid they have is 10 years old but doesn't know English at all so she's in Kindergarten and the dad isn't able to work here because he's not a citizen.
Well what they did is just to buy them gifts and surprise them and bought them a tree and many presents there was a list that they've created on things they needed and wanted. I wanted to help so I bought some things for them too like some clothes and just some basic toiletries. We decided today will be the day to surprise them at their apartment, the apartment was in a shady side of Des Moines. They had neighbors you can hear arguing and it was kinda scary but when we arrived at the door with presents and a Christmas tree they were thrilled. It was very difficult because they didn't know English and the father seems like he has a lot to say but really couldn't because of the language barrier. It was a good feeling but it was kind of odd because we completely just came without them knowing but knowing that they'll have a great Christmas just makes all the better.

Another Work Blog

So they're starting CDMA training for Sprint/Nextel Blackberry Support here (We usually take the iDEN side (NEXTEL Walkie Talkie)). I'm already involved in the CDMA network and have been doing a lot of callbacks trying to own the call instead of having it go to another call center somewhere in Kentucky. I don't know if being involved in this will lead me to other things because working at EDS doesn't seem to be a place to progress. It's like they make it such a big thing to do another project in an area making you feel a little bit high above the regular agents on the floor when in all actuality you're getting paid exactly the same with more work on your back.

At this job they've had me do many things here while having walk the floor helping other agents, being involved in this other inbound call helpline for the regulars, and calling back callers that gave a low score to one of our agents in a questionnaire they had after their call to Sprint. They know I know the technical aspect of this but it seems never good enough because I'm always taken back to taking regular inbound calls like a regular agent. I really refuse to kiss anyone's ass and I just rather be recognized for the work I give but it's hard because I don't feel they give enough motivation to keep me going because of all the history I had. I don't know what to do I'm going to stay there and see how this turns out because CDMA is entirely new to this call center and there are more opportunities, I guess...

Oh SHIT

So my last blog I was telling you about just having fun with this chick that I knew was already involved in a relationship... well I emailed this chick on Saturday and I guess they've fought over it and he hit her. What the fuck? This is some serious shit I know it's not me to blame because I know that this has happened before but now it seems that I should do something. I wasn't even wanting to take her away I was just doing this for my own benefit and this has happened. I feel a little of my fault but I know I shouldn't, no one deserves to be abused. I told a few people but never really had any assistance in the matter, I'm a little nervous about this situation, sad thing is that they live with his Grandma and she knows about this too. Why does shit like this happen?

She's always said that their relationship sucks because he's so abusive and yelling at her for small stuff. Won't let her out of the house while he's out and about probably fucking around with other girls. Girls are so stupid sometimes this is why females are looked down upon because a lot of them don't fight for themselves needing males to be their leader. I don't even want to be with her now I just want to be a friend and get her out of this. I need help I guess...
