Same..Same but different.

So I got a new job!
Well.. a new term anyway! My term was to run out on Feb 1st but I was offered another year on the phones as someone got put on a different project, openening up a position for me!
So this is good. Lose job bad. Keep job good.

Basically what it means is I'll still have time to drop by the ol blogger once in a while and treat you all to a spandacular display of pseudohomophones like 'barc dahgi barc' or 'tern off tha mewsic its herting my brane.'

(pseudohomophones are non-words that sound like words eg. Bloo... in case you missed that..)

And now, for my first time ever..

The sewdohomofone stori.

Once Upon a time... Thare was mylz and mylz of hawt swhis peeple eeting nyse cleen toona. They were so braiv that the boans soked in a droar for munths before they were aten. Wun dey, a hyer klass swhis man swoar he cood pwn the noobs and bern the hedj thay lived in. So he took a stroal and seaked out the tule hoo challenged him. He made it to the foart and getting in was a breaz! He jsut walked rite in! In a phlash noobs were on him like mawths, it was all he cood do to hoald on! Then lyke a wyld coalt he swung the ehj of his sword as he backed into a feeld. He was nocked to the flore and hurt his pryd.. but one more phlash and my Jimminy he was fyne! His sword swung to teh toon of hapi dayz and his gaim was on! dryv after dryv he punished the noobs until he could swing no mohr. A small dawt formed in his eye as teh last noob phell. He was in a precarious stait, he coold barley gyde himself to terhn the door handel and he helled on for a wyle.. resting on that spawt..
Man, I think I'll gawlf tomoro... he thot in his mynd. Then fell doun and hert his sholder.
Teh nects dai... his wyfe was a bit angry and mayd him stai and play hoest for teh wyne and chease party on their bote! He was layt and to say the leest his wyfe was not nyse when she spawted him. He maid it better wen he helled her hand.

So teh moral of the stori is if u hold yore wyfe's hand. Everything will be ok.

Teh end

Updated Helpdesk How-To

HELLO

H - Hold phone away from your ear while client screams, cries and blames you and only you for all there problems
E - Examine the issue as she blabbers on about every problem she has ever had with her computer
L - Look at your phone and make sure you are Muted
L - Laugh until your gut hurts
O - Open Outlook and sort email by "Received"

So ho ho,
A little update.

One of the main guys at the helpdesk got a job in the "CIS" project. Its like CIS but better.

Better because now I have a good opportunity to move into a 'permanent' position here at our beloved Authority of the Health of the North. Probably be on the phones for a while, which is ok as it gets more tolerable as the months progress. It's all relative really. Related to something I'm sure. Really. Relationship between it and something esle.

Christmas is coming!

Christmas IS coming. whether you like it or not.. before too long itll be time to start shopping and finding the cheapest bestest looking POC in the mall to buy for your loved ones. This year ought to be lots of fun though, Gonna have ona T's best friends in town on the 14th-19th, her parents shortly after (yay!) And then it'll be christmas! And that means drinking. Lots and lots of drinking. Different drinks! like tea and coffee! and milk and juice and rum and eggnog and stuff!

Easy Breezy as Bryan just said. Easy Breezy.

That pretty much explains the frame of mind we have here at the helpdesk.
I've decided to FS it up.

GULP HAW

Greet
Understand
Laugh at the client
Pee your Pants

Hang up
Almost die giggling.
Wait for the next call.

That pretty much sums up the helpdesk training.

I guess I should get back to it.

See you on the flip side.

P.

Hang out with friends!

It's all about hanging out with friends!!!

The bright sunlight filters in above my head through the slits in the drapes. A golden ocean surrounds me as the covers shimmer in the morning sun, softly nudging me to consciousness. My eyes rest on the shadows that dance on the wall next to me, gently attempting to lull me back to sleep.
Reality clouds my thoughts, the events of the past few weeks replaying in my head like those black and white movies that won't go away. Images at first, flitting in and out with no real start or end and then, time categorizes all memories effortlessly before I can stop it.


I was having a pleasant evening out, enjoying the fresh spring air and the chatter of passerby's when a middle-aged man bumped me aside, rushing along for one important reason or another. An important business meeting or late dinner plans perhaps. Regardless, the force of his nudge caused me to catch a smartly dressed Japanese business man's briefcase on the knee, spilling the contents on the wharf deck. As I bent down to help him collect the documents I noticed they weren;t documents at all. All $1000 bills. So... I grabbed 6 stacks and shot down the closest side street, weaving my way throught the city until I was surely alone. Noone followed as it would be more costly to leave the bundles lying on the deck than to recover the 60g I had collected for the knee injury.

Night after night of carefree spending and nonsensical whatnotishism blur together painting a rough picture of what it may be like to make it bigtime.
Is this what the 'high-life' is like? Or does it get better? I guess I have another month or so to figure it out although it doesn't seem as fun as originally planned.
Well.. its off to the carribean! I'll keep in touch.

Typical Thursday.

Today.. Client with lisp calls helpdesk

Client "Am I a computer god? Do I look like a charlie gates? All I need to do is GET ON THE DAMN THYSTEM!@!"

PSA " Oh, that thystem. I'll let the administrator know ASAP. Thanks for calling"


Some peoples kids.

Phaselhiensk

Cranberry juice.
The stuff wreaks Havoc on the insides but for some reason I can't stay away from it. mmmm. Cranberry Juice.







So on saturday we went wedding ceremony shopping around the pg area and happened upon a bird.







I'm pretty sure its a new species, I'll name it Phaselhiensk. In honour of the cheap linen in munsk.
People say I'm strange but thats cuz I'm a stranger.






DoMeStiC DiSpUtEs



Close the door! where you born in a barn?
No.. Just forgot! Sheesh.
Well, we're not heating the neighborhood you know
Just drop it
NO. I'm not dropping it, every freaking time you come in the door you leave it open.
*sigh*
Its a waste of energy!
look. grow up, you're a waste of energy.
Oh Me grow up? I'm not the one being a name callerer.
Right.. name callerer.. good one.
I can't take this right now.
FINE!

This has been DoMeStiC DiSpUtEs our new addition to the program!

Thanks for tuning in, we'll see you next time and have a GREAT day!!!

Freaking Hang.

So this was the 5th weekend I was sick.. what the freaking hang eh? Sat night I had some random stomach flu.. Sunday a 'minor' migrane.. or 'major' headache.. whatever you prefer.. I prefer neither...


There was some fun to be had though!




M visited an aunt and seemed to have fun! We went wedding reception shopping and are |----| <- that much closer to getting something accomplished! JUST kidding. T is quite organized as the other T does this for a job.. got the whole thing catagorized,organized and prioretized in a spandacular spreadsheet setup on saturday or something...Sorry for being so silly, sometimes s's simply slip out sporadically.


On a side note. well If I knew how to make it on the side I wouldn't have to say that would I? Fine. On a normal note.. centred but labled side note.. darnit.. forgot what the note was. Oh yes. I feel the ship starting to shift, interviews.. emails.. talk in the office.. something big is about to happen.. Wait for it.. I will update you as soon as possible as I know there are many of you waiting with abated breath, crossing fingers and eyes, yearning for another glimpse into my life, searching for any glimmering mention of my future, praying for a chance to be a part of it. Fear not! for I will not follow in the footsteps of those before me! I will not be like Bilbo Bagginson and just 'dissapear' leaving the responsibilities to the next generation. I will stand firm! And maybe sit sometimes if I get tired.. but I will not leave you helpless, stranded and alone. Unless I get a REALLY high paying job.. or even just slightly higher.. or even something with benefits.. perhaps a free lunch once a month? It wouldnt take much really.. anything.. please? Well.. anyway.. wait for it.

It's Comin.

A walk in the park

Literally.





If only the wee one could take pics...

Decorations

Is it too early to start decorating? - The question I asked myself when my house started turning white, red and green this weekend. The question was answered early this morning when a coworker revealed what his weekend consisted of.. setting up christmas trees and decorating the house! So... for people that really have nothing better to do, decorating at the beginning of November for Christmas is OK.



Here are a few things on my Gimme-Gimme List this year. Feel free to get ideas when buying my gift.

A sailboat.
A 4-wheeler
Set of Golf Clubs
Seasons tickets to Canucks w/acc and travel expenses
New Truck
New nerf guns.


A free holiday would work as well.. somewhere tropical or something.. use your imagination!
Just Kidding.. But seriously.
Tropical.

Pretty much says it all!

Detached

So have you ever had one of those days where you are just detached? Sort of standing off watching your life happen.. not that you aren't in control.. just sort of viewing the decisions and day to day happenings from afar. My last little bit was like that.. Feels like I'm coming back to earth finally. Yay.

So tonight is OC.. not sure who will come as T has some Grandma's Attic thing to attend th3k1m is off at some Bday party, J works till 8 so he won't be around to make dinner.. Ima check on Binder and Jess.. Perhaps it will be a slow evening.. we will have to see.

Brought my laptop to work today to try hack the wireless or lan tday.. unsuccesful. well done CORE. One of the pillars of the helpdesk is gone on vacation so we'll have to see how we hold up this next week!

S'aaaaalll Gooood!..

So I got the strep. An angry angry little bugger that likes to eat your throat hairs and stuff. So the Dr. didn't have to take blood but did have some computer questions! So all is well that ends well. And pretty much everything ends well.. so its all good!
It is all good.

Blood sucking doctors.

I have to go to the doctor today.
Went home early yesterday as the sick monster smashed me in the head and broke me.

I hope he doesnt take blood. But apparently its not that big of a deal according to rayban
I'll let you know if I make it out alive.

Sick Monster

So the last three weekends have been stolen by the sick monster.
Come friday evening I start to feel tired and old.. Saturday morning isn't bad until about noon when I have to lay down as my head is pounding, stomach churning and bones aching. This lasts until sunday evening gradually getting better until Monday morning where the only reminders are a sore throat and another wasted weekend.

Next weekend I think I'll do a system cleaning before I start getting sick.. just wash everything out with alcohol to ensure there are no nasty bugs laying in wait for the right moment to attack!

Insatiable

Well its about freakin time eh?

For an update! The last week has been insane.. so much has happened I dont even know where to start.. I guess with the trip to italy...no lets talk about australia first..
SO we go down under right, and there's this crazy guy who wants to sell us pickles. And so I'm like, dude, I don't want your sundried pickles! But he won't like, go away right.. so finally I'm like. K. I'll take one. So I take one and give him 5 shekels or whatever and he snaps! He's all like freaking out yelling at me, acting like Im a bad guy or whatever. Just goes to show why they dont have many tourists anymore.

Sheesh

K seriously.. Not too many crazy things have happened. The odd mishap here and there but for the most part things have been running along smoothly.

Halloween.



The family had quite the time with minor interuptions but good times in the end. We ended up hitting the fireworks in College heights and stopping by to see the wee one's cousin. She ended up with a quarter pillowcase of candy, enough to keep her sweet for another year.



Work.



Preeety much says it all.












Horoscope

This is a new section I've decided to add..

You are the Hermit card. The Hermit has chosen a
solitary spiritual path. He shines light on his
inner self and, by this means, gains wisdom.
The Hermit's home is the natural world and it
is by being in tune with that world that he
learns the laws of nature and learn how they
operate within himself. His path is a lonely
one as he lives in silence and has for
companionship only his own internal rhythms.
But those crossing his path are touched by his
light and wisdom. Though often alone, he
manages nevertheless to instruct those who meet
him and guides those who chose to follow him on
a path towards enlightenment. Image from The
Aleister Crowley Tarot deck.
