Am getting a bit nervous. About a few things.

On Friday and Wednesday (yesterday) we were sent home early from work due to low call volume. On Friday we were given the option to come in on Saturday and make up those hours, but I was already committed to work at Mac Reunion... so yeah. I went home at noon and was at least able to start work at ( Read more... )

Memorial Day weekend I went to my grandma's cabin on Big Fish Lake with my dad and his fiance. It was mostly very nice. There's something profoundly relaxing about having someone else be in charge of your food and shelter for a few days. We made really good spaghetti and barbequed chicken, played games, and worked outside all day. One of my uncles ( Read more... )

I neeeeed to stop spending money. But I haven't had any for a while so it feels so gooood... I keep getting random things for my house like sponges and shower strainer things and measuring spoons. I got some really nice and already broken in good derby skates yesterday for half their store price, which is nice too since my current skates are too ( Read more... )

So I kind of got inducted into the superfast coolkids gang at the roller rink last night. There are a couple guys who skate really fast along the outside of the rink, and if they're good they do crazyfast things with their legs. They're all ages (even though they probably all live in their mothers' basements), but sometimes I think they look like a ( Read more... )

Work is the same. Settling into normalcy. Not very busy though, which means I read books, check my e-mail, and draw a lot of mythical creatures and make Facebook quizzes about them. I'm really enjoying biking to work too. It's so close that even if it's raining (which it was on Friday) it's not that big of a deal to get home.

Doing much roller derby ( Read more... )

Job is going well. I've started talking to customers on the phone, and it's comforting that I seem to know more about mortgages than they do most of the time. So far I have explored the cafeteria (hot dog and soup for under $4!), found out that the gym is for normal WFHM employees only (not temps), started biking to work (quicker than bussing ( Read more... )

...the Lincolnshire Bombers roller derby team in England is sponsored by Motorhead. The band. COOLEST SPONSOR EVAR AAAAH

Anyway. Dad and Kristi came today. I have all my stuff. Am currently cleaning my sister's old speed skates which actually fit me really well. My room is awesome. Sigh.

MOTORHEAD!!!!

Also Facebook is sucking hard these days and not ( Read more... )

So apparently I am now an expert in the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage 3-Step Express, Rate/Term, and Cash-Out mortgages. We had one day of shadowing/listening to phone conversations, and two days of training. When we got back to our cubes yesterday (well, actually we each have a corner of giant cubes), we each had a computer of our very own, in ( Read more... )

Eventful weekend! And you get to hear all about it because I have internet at home yaay!

Thought I was having dinner with a friend on Friday but apparently she was talking about next Friday so I went rollerskating instead at Roller Garden in St. Louis Park. Yeah funk and R&B night! It was also "fresh meat" night for the North Star Rollergirls (the ( Read more... )

Updates about job and living situation. I'll tell the most annoying things first... Wells Fargo pushed back my start date to a week from today (next Wednesday). They're not ready to start training people in yet, and apparently I'd be "doing a lot of sitting around and shadowing people" if I started tomorrow or Friday. All of that would of course be ( Read more... )
