Falling around kissing goodbye.. (original) (raw)

20 October 2010 @ 04:36 pm

I got my new laptop today that I ordered on Monday. Great fun, and there was a guy here earlier that came and put a new radiator in my livingroom so now it's a bit warmer in here =D

The countdown has started for me, almost time to leave the crap job and go home to no job at the moment but I'm sure I'll find something. I'll be going to work soon, I'm on the night shift and I'm thinking about calling in sick on Friday afternoon because I'm not sure if I can manage 3 night shifts in a row with all those damn US calls.
I'll see what happens, at least I can hopefully get a confirmation on the final date in my job email today. Then I'll book a flight home this weekend and I'll be able to tell my landlord when I'm moving home.

Current Mood: blah

I handed in my resignation yesterday. I can't do this job anymore. The job I came here to do has taken a backseat and I don't want to feel forced to do something that I don't want to do.
I love living here, the flat is wonderful and life here in general is something I like. But yeah, the job pays my rent and without money..no flat and no life so I'm going back home to try something else. I chose November 14th as a final date of work, a few days later I've seen some cheap flights with Norwegian from Edinburgh to Luleå and hopefully I'll have that confirmation e-mail from HR in my inbox when I come into work Saturday. I need to give my landlord a confirmed moving out date so it would be good to know that my resignation has been processed.

In more happy news, Flashforward is a great show!! I'm watching the last episode now and I definitely don't regret buying this DVD box =D fun cameos as well, Seth McFarlane and Timbaland =P

Raaaah!! All of the sudden, there are US calls coming in at work. I know some of the people from the BAU team have been helping out working extra to take those calls but no one has even asked us OOH if we want to take them. But that's apparently happening for everyone. Just because Infoprint thinks we won't mind I suppose.
Well I DON'T WORK FOR INFOPRINT!!!! They're not the ones paying my salary, and technically neither is IBM since I work for Manpower but yeah, there are people working for Infoprint in the same building so why not just hire more??!!!

I haven't been sleeping well lately, either I'm not tired and can't sleep (and I hear you're not supposed to d´force yourself to sleep) or I keep waking up after weird, disturbing dreams. And of course it's onyl happened on yhe days when I've been off work and trying to recharge my batteries. Hopefully it won't happenn tonight because I'm exhausted. And I almost fell asleep several times at work. The final drop today was just before I was about to log out and an angry, somewhat shouty American woman wants to know why some parts haven't been arriving and wants me to log a call for her. Then the program decides to be a fucjking pain in the ass and not work properly so first I can't find the effin printer and then I can't find the company. Well lasdy let me tell you something. You being angry and shouting at me isn't gonna make logging this call any easier. I understand it's an emergency but if I can't even copypaste the information into a fuciking pc window then don't get angry with me! "Just becaue your company can't find the machine when it's your machine" again..I DON'T WORK FOR INFOPRINT and I don't kn ow how long it will take for you to get contacted and I don't know who will be assigned to the call because...the program autoassigns based on availability and location.
Eventually I was able to find a dummy company and took down contact details and managed to finish the call whiel still being yelled at. My fingers were shaking and then of course afterwards I went back to the call and was able to find the actual company and product.
Feel free to say I'm doing a poor job, I don't know what I'm doing half the time and if you threaten to get me fired well..you won't hear any complaints from me! Because..again..I'm taking calls from a diffeent company that I don't even work for. And to be quite honest, the printers don't seem to be that good since they keep getting serviced. Why not invest in a backup printer that you can plug in if nothing else seems to be working??!!

I've never been good with shouty, aggressive poeple. I can barely watch people arguing in movies. In real life, I walk away from situations like that, like go to the other side of the street or turn off the movie. I can't walk away at work, I have to sit there. And seeing as it went a bit better after I had hung up the call proves the point. Don't shout and be threatening towards me and I'll be able to help you better. Rightnow this is all an American thing for me, which is a shame since I tend to think Americans are quite fun people to be around.
But so far the majority of the IP calls I get are from the UK and none of them have been rude or aggressive towards me, despite it being an emergenvy and despite them not hearing a word from an engineer. They have apparently hired some people to work for IP Usa, I saw it in the planner but apparently they're being trained now this weekend. How shitpoor timing is that?! Why not hire the new people during the week when there are nmore peopel around to help them?!
This kind of organisation isn't surprising me anymore..one of the "perks" of the blue building *eyeroll*
Hopefully yhis is all juts a sideeffect from me being tired. These moods never last long with me but I don't want to have a shitty birthday. I want to have a nice day at work and then go home with a feling that will help me to be motivated to go on that pub round. Tonight..not so much. I'm defintely dying my hair though, hopefuly the shower afterwards will help as well.

But if I get more aggressive shouty rude calls..I won't be able to shut yup about it. I don't want to take abuse at work. This was supposed to be a fun experience, somehting new to put on my cv and something to look back at wirh mixed emotions. The only emotions I feel right now is 'how the hell will I last until June/July?!' I don't mind doing the IBM stuff thatsw hat I came to do, but to suddenly be expected to do heaps of work for another company, to have to write terrible stuff here just to stop my brain from exploding.. that won't work in the long run.
I miss being a student, I miss Uppsala I miss procrastinating from writing that essay. I don't miss not having enough money..but at least I didn't rant as much then as I do now.

And now the bloody applicator bottle won't open..rhghsagdjsgjdfg!!

YES! Going home tomorrow, funfun.

Well not all the way home technically. I'll stop over in Uppsala for the night to hang out with some of the most amazing people in the world ♥ ♥ in a way I envy them a bit for still being students and being able to see each other on a regular basis. But I'm sure they envy me on some level since I'm actually living in a Celtic country.
I'll take the night train for the last leg of the journey, I've never actually slept in a train bed before. Usually the seats are a lot cheaper than the sleeping carriages but not so this time. I won't be taking the train on the way down but I am taking an evening flight and then a morning flight. Still need to decide whether I should just stay at the airport or if I should pay a visit to a friend who lives in Stockholm. Probably won't get a lot of sleep either way.. one can waste a lot of time with a laptop =)

So nice with holiday wooohoooo

Current Mood: bouncy

When I opened my work mail today I found a reply to my holiday application and it's been approved! =D I didn't have much doubt since we are entitled to holiday and no one else had applied during that period, but you never know. I've looked a bit at flights but I don't think I'll book anything until the weekend when I'm off work. Don't want to sit here and try to figure everything out.

I also have to remember to go to the bank tomorrow, I need to change my address and make sure my old rent is canceled and then I'm gonna go and pay off the rest of this month's. They're gonna bring over the lease some time next week probably. As long as that gets sorted before I go on holiday, same with the council tax. I hope that gets sorted out as well.

Anyway, I'm going hoooome!! =D

I'm watching the movie "Dark Floors" now and so far so good. The ghost/witch has already made her lovely appearance. I have to admit that I squeed when I saw Kita come out of the elevator floor =D ♥ but then they hit him with a fire extinguisher! =O but he came back and bit the annoying guy in the leg (woo!) but then they dropped the elevator on his head! Poor Kita =(
Can't wait to see what happens next..

*edit1* hahaha!! OX! Great wall smashing =D

*edit2* I saw sand coming out from an airvent..sand can only mean one thing! MUMMIES!!

And there he is..emerging from the sand and oooooooh, HAHAHAAA he just ripped annoying guy's heart out! Go AMEN =D But awwww..they just showed him through a glass door =(

*edit3* KITA..I think it was him anyway, but he just got zapped with those defibrillator thingies. He was busy woman he wasn't even looking at you..

*edit4* AMEN!! More sand hihi, and ooh he's picking the dad up by the neck but then the Tobias guy ran him through with a pole =( from behind even and then Amen turned around and impaled Tobias as well..awww

*edit6* Awa again yay..ghostie lady
I wonder when Mr.Lordi will show up..

*edit5* (geez all the edits =P) OXIE!! =D just a bit of growling and running down the corridor from him again

*edit6* Mr.Lordi finally..coming out of the floor in the car park, very classy =P oooh and the wings

*finaledit* huh, wasn't expecting that ending. Like the music though, I think I'll buy the DVD if only to squee and bounce at home. I'm a monster teenie =/ well mummy mostly but..very unconventional =P

Current Mood: excited

Feeling a bit better, had a bit of a bad day at work on Thursday. Lots of call that I wasn't supposed to get and I kept putting myself on 'unavailable' even though you're not supposed to but I just got so fed up. Yesterday I sent out another e-mail to one of the team leaders and she was surprised that I was getting those calls during the day, apparently I was only supposed to be back up during the ooh hours, but she said that she'd investigate and it seemed to have sorted out or maybe she ended up removing my skill altogether. Anyway, bit better at work now since I get calls that I can actually take care of.
Working tomorrow as well, then I got 5 days off. Well needed, since I haven't really done anything in the new flat. So Monday I'm gonna do some cleaning in the old flat, windows mainly. Tuesday hand in the keys..maybe go to Glasgow to see a movie, do some shopping and get things in order in the new flat. Then I don't know..but that's nice =)

I've just sent in a holiday application as well, almost a month I've applied for but only 14 work days. The positive side of working for this team, you don't waste so many holiday days =P but yeah, still got a few left after that. Need to look into just how many but I think I'll save them and go on a long weekend trip some time in the fall/winter. Holiday is really needed, I miss everyone, I miss some food I can't get and I even miss mosquito bites(!) =/ I'm gonna regret that once I get them of course =P

Current Mood: okay

I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday. Bit better today, but that's just because I'm looking in the holiday planner and I'll send the holiday application in this weekend. I just want to make sure I've filled it in correctly before I do. But yes, once that's been approved..I might start feeling like myself again.

If I have another breakdown today I'll definitely type it off in here..nghägh!

Current Mood: sad

So I've now moved into the new flat. Well not completely, I still got some clothes and minor stuff back at the old place, I'm going by there after work to see how much I can take with me. Otherwise I'll have until Monday which is when I'll help with the final cleaning for Tuesday when we hand the keys in.

Oh, which reminds me that I better e-mail the agency about the hot water. I don't seem to have any hot water in the new flat. Hopefully that can be sorted quite quickly, maybe it's just a switch that needs to be turned on or something.
Anyway, I got a double bed, which is very cosy and the windows have very large window sills so you can actually sit in the window ♥ haven't tried that yet though but I will. It would be cool to have a tv, then I could lie in bed and watch telly..literally. With the kitchen only a few steps away. The cutlery is all new as well, new pots, new plates, new kettle..which I didn't expect but yay, even better. Got a lot of card board boxes in the kitchen, luckily they're small =P
And I got a sofa that turns into a bed..great for guests *hinthint* ;) I haven't actually tried unfolding it yet so I don't know how big it is but it's covered in stuff right now since I just throw things on there. I'm gonna look out for some kind of small dresser so I can put clothes away and maybe someone is selling an old tv somewhere.

I'm gonna look into holidays as well, it's just that I would like to pay dad back when I'm home and so far I haven't put any money away for that =/ I would like to pay him back a little interest as well, I'll go to the bank when I'm there and tell them to put away money every month. That will be good for the future if I don't do that I won't remember. And what's the point with a savings account if you don't actually use it, so that's what I'm gonna do =)

Hopefully the hot water can be fixed asap..it would be nice to have a bath on Sunday evening. Even though I'm not too keen on baths
