Today marks the first day of my extended stint as the phone support chump (did I say “chump?” I meant “representative”) at Auctionworks. Thus far, it has been tremendously busy, so much so that I haven’t had time to use the bathroom. First the site went down, then eBay went down, and then the Valdez went down.
[Okay, if it were really that busy, there would be no way I could be writing a post to my blog. “Blog.” Haha, such a funny word. God bless the ‘Net, coiner of the world’s silliest terms and jargon.]
In reality, I am sitting here, staring out the window at a rooftop some 50′ below me where some men are spreading gravel (or whatever they put on roofs). I cannot help but envy these men. Sure, they are working in near-freezing temperatures and blustery winds, but what they are doing is so much easier than what I’m doing. Moreover, while I adore learning, the combined stress of work and school is nearly too much for my little head to handle. If I could forgo my higher education in exchange for a steady income, I would do it in a heartbeat. Writing is my only passion, and I guess I’m attending school mainly to improve my prowess.
I’m on cup numero tres of coffee. Things should get interesting here in a few minutes when the caffiene makes its way into my bloodstream. I like coffee because it gives me the little edge I need to stay focused on whatever it is I am doing. I have a feeling that I will be getting intimately familiar with my coffee-maker next semester at UGA.
Well, considering I spent a few hours pouring my heart into this thing last night, I don’t have much else to report. I’m feeling rather creative today, so I may try and post some fiction later. Until then, Reduxers!
