Back from Hiatus

It's been so long (I feel) that I've wrote any kind of blog entry. I'll give you a quick run down of what's been going on. As you know I've been planning a whole Europe Trip with my friends and I just got back from that a week ago. It's seriously amazing and I didn't write too much about it yet, I'm planning on doing so here in the upcoming weeks. You will be able to check that out on my other blog that focus on Traveling (HERE - http://otistravels.wordpress.com)

I have been focusing a lot on being more active so I do plan on running a 5k this coming weekend for breast cancer. (More info http://www.komeniowa.org) It's a little hard after my long trip to get back into running but I'm trying. Because it was a vacation I let go of my diet and just went all out on eating and drinking whatever I want at the time. Now I'm back home though, I'm ready for the challenge.

It definitely really bites coming back from this travel life for 3 weeks and then having to go back to reality in my office/cubicle life. I have motivation though, got to work for that money to fit more travels in my life.

Love you all!

An Email to You.

There’s no fixing your past, that’s just it. So you have limp leg for the rest of your life, but you’re still able to walk. People have flaws you need to just live with them and move on. Dwelling on a problem leads to weakness and people will feel sorry for you. Don’t make people around you feel sorry for you, you got to let it be known that you’re capable of handling yourself. People will take advantage of your weakness and use you, knowing that you are so eager to find someone to commit and tell all how you feel. Just think of your child, don’t make them see your flaws. They learn from you and would feel it would be alright to grow up being inept.

I hope you get some perspective on what I just said… You just need to hear it as blunt as it may seem.

Fake Baking...

So yes... That's what I've been doing, I know it's a very superficial thing to do but it's actually relaxing to lay in that warm light, I don't know I have other reasons why I'm going, but I don't feel like sharing that. I thought the whole process is weird you lay in a bed naked for a couple minutes and that's that. I've only went 2 times and my whole torso is burnt! My arms and legs are fine but I feel so uncomfortable when sometimes just putting on a shirt... When does this process stop burning and I'll just tan. I don't usually burn except the time I was in Mexico (that was expected) but man I guess places that don't really see the sun at all just burns like immediately.

I Guess I'm "Not Motivated"

So it seems that at work they have dropped me from being a teamlead and back to a regular agent that's suppose to just sit there and take calls all day...

NOTE: If you don't know, I work for an outsourcing company for a Technical Call Center for a Cellphone provider, troubleshooting Blackberry devices.

I've noticed that in the past weeks that they wanted to change things around and kind of go back the way it use to be with the "Team Leads" and have them actual take more part of their position and have more responsiblities. I wasn't asked again to be one, I was wondering why at first I mean I do have the knowledge and I am great to the agents on the floor, I just didn't know what's the reasoning... As you may know I am looking for another job at this time so I really just shrugged it off thinking I'll just be on my way anyway, also I'm use to just being up there at one point and dropping again that what they've been doing to me the whole time I've worked there.

Anyway I guess one of people that were asked denied the position didn't want to be walking the entire time and likes his position of handing out "Tier3 tickets" to other agents to be worked on. (Tier 3 was once a department that we would transfer to after we done our regular troubleshooting with no resolution, now that department is gone so our center decided to take over.) So a supervisor asked if I wanted to fill in the spot. Exactly what I said was, "I don't care, I'll do whatever" I guess that is not what he was looking for. He wanted me to jump up for joy that I was being asked SECOND to be a "Team Lead" he said this "the reason why we didn't ask you is because it doesn't seem you were motivated to be one."

I can't believe this fool, he seriously said that to me? How could one be "motivated" after being in the position I've been in throughout the time I worked there... I know this probably doesn't mean much to you that doesn't work with me... But I've been doing so much side projects and shit for this place (Floor walker, SME, Team Lead, Helpdesk, pulled CSAT reports, basically assisted with pulling in the CDMA project, Writing up parts of a knowledge base we use, TIER3, I've been at position when the whole Blackberry project came to Des Moines.) Yet I'm getting paid the same amount as the people that are just doing their jobs of just sitting on the phones not having to be the best on their quality of Customer Service.

So really I don't care if they decided to make me a Team Lead again or not, I gave him my answer whatever he decides... I just think I'm worth more than this job and it usually just brings me down thinking about it. I was lying in bed before typing this out thinking about it, it's very depressing sometimes...

~~~~~~*****OH SECOND THING!
I didn't get a 3G iPhone today... unfortunately AT&T is being an awful company to just the regular individuals users and will not credit me for my lost iPhone roaming charges in Mexico I didn't make and wants me to pay it all... so they cut off my service because I couldn't pay all of it, here's a blog entry all about it...

OH MY F*CK... NO I shouldn't censor myself FUCK!

If anyone out there can help me with this problem that would be great!
