Work Is Officially Killing Me Today!

Oh, wow.  The phone has been ringing off the hook at work today!  I understand I work in a call center and I should be used to the phone ringing by now but damnit....This is insane!!  RING! RING! RING!  RIGHT NOW IN FACT!  Hold please.  

Trust, people say VERY stupid things. 

Okay, I'm finally back.  Geez.  What a day.  I'm so ready to go home at this point and I have a few hours left still!  The only reason I'm typing right this very minute is that I'm at LUNCH!  Yep, I ran to Wally World for a few things I needed and now I'm back at my desk, clocked out, like a loser, just chillin'.  I knew I wouldn't get much blogging done today if I didn't work on it during lunch.  It's just one of those damn days I guess. 

Red Lady is really good at helping me keep my sanity throughout the day.  Sometimes she can't hear me because she has both her ears plugged up with one device or another so I have to bang on the wall between us or call her so she'll pay me some attention....LOL.  We rant and rave to each other about how wrong it was for man to decide that the work week would be 5 days and 40 hours long...Like who the fuck decided that?  We want to cut him (cause no woman would have came up with something so dumb, if it was up to us, an average work week would be 20 hours and 3 days long, for the same pay of course :)

Because if the work week was shorter, we wouldn't look like this all the time!

But for the most part, we remind each other that we shouldn't be complaining because at least we have jobs and good jobs at that!  I can't explain to you how many times a week Red says, "Hey, what you watchin' over there" and vice versa because we are FOREVER watching TV in between calls!  How many people do you know that can watch TV at work?  We need to remind each other how fortunate we are instead of complaining.  Yep, Red and I will get right on that.  Ha!  Tomorrow we'll have to remind each other of this when the first phone call of the day pisses us off.  

Red, we're going to have to work on this.  It's not good for us OR the people on the other end of the phone. 

I also wanted to explain the comment I made yesterday about not feeling like blogging earlier this week.  Monday was.....Well, it was Monday and I was pretty much in a sleepy fog all day.  Tuesday I was arguing with Supa all day long because sometimes we like to act like childish, stupid, douchbags marriages have issues.  So, I was kinda weepy all day long.  For me, I almost never, ever cry so when I do start crying, I usually can't stop for an extended period of time.  That is exactly how Tuesday went.  I cried at my desk on and off all day.  (As quietly as possible because I didn't want Red to hear me through the wall.  I did not feel like explaining my slobber) 
Wow, this is so not a good representation of what I look like but you get the point right?  I was fucking crying all day.  I just could not get it together.  I was holding my breath in between calls so the members wouldn't think they dialed the wrong number and had just reached someone at Three Rivers (the crazy hospital, people).
So, I went home and Supa was at work (thank God because we both needed an adult time out) and I had to cook dinner.  Not my favorite thing to do but I can usually pull something edible off.  I already had it planned out that I was making this chicken with macaroni and cheese thing....Sounds easy enough right?  I put it all together (Still holding my damn breath because Dazzle and Neon did not need to see me crying) and stuck it in the oven.  30 minutes later, I took it out and everything looked normal.  Time to eat!  We sat down at the table and I put the green beans on everyones plates...Next I reached in there to get a piece of chicken for Dazzle and turned it over AND.....RAW FUCKING CHICKEN.  WHAT?  The noodles were cooked, the cheese was cheesy and the top was nice and brown but the chicken was stone cold raw!  I didn't know what to do so I did the only thing I could do at this point,  I dropped my facade and began BAWLING over raw chicken.  Damnit.  I just couldn't hold it in any longer.  The chicken was the thing that broke me that day.

Who the hell wants to eat this for dinner??  Wonderful!  The chicken kicked my ass.

Honestly, I didn't know what to do!!  I figured if I put it back in the oven it would be ruined because the noodles would come out mushy, cheese would be burnt and topping inedible.  OH BUT THE DAMN CHICKEN WOULD BE COOKED.  I was about to throw the whole thing in the trash and take the kids to Burger King when I decided I needed to take a minute to go in the bathroom and contain myself.  SO, 10 tissues and 1 pep talk later, I reentered the kitchen and threw that shitty shit back in the oven! 

Do not play with me oven.  I have children to feed!
I know this sounds crazy but after I got off of my hands and knees from my sobbing excursion, I threw myself on the couch and started watching Hells Kitchen.  Nothing like making yourself feel better by watching others fuck up and get screamed at.  (At least no one screamed at me)  After waiting an ungodly amount of time for the damn chicken to cook, I went back in there and removed said chicken from the oven, cut it all open (honestly, it looked like a very angry person took a cleaver to the damn bird) and made sure that shit was cooked.  It finally was and we sat down and ate it.  Well, it wasn't that bad, noodles weren't overcooked like I imagined they would be, the cheese was still kinda cheesy, it was a little dry overall but I could live with it.  Neon and Dazzle were trying to cheer me up so they were talking about it like it was prime rib or Fillet Mignon or something.  LOL.  Good job guys but I know it's not great.  BUT IT AIN'T RAW ANYMORE EITHER!  HA! 

PS:  I just can't use ain't without adding a side note....

***Side note, I know AIN'T is improper.  :O  I use it anyway because I can!***

Google images, you never stop amazing me.  I typed in triumphant and this is what I got.  An ugly ass picture of Kristen Stewart.  Wonderful.  I decided to run with it because I could get an easy Twilight reference out of it.  KStew is TRIUMPHANT (as hell) because she gets Robert Pattinson penis every single night!  Oh yeah, I said it!  WOOT!


That's about all I have to give today folks.  I have some serious issues ready to talk about tomorrow so stay tuned....
