You shoes are filled with feet.

Yesterday, ran down to see the doctor and get stabbed many many times with needles. I hate being poked and prodded. It hurts like hell, but needs to be done. I got jabbed with a bunch of estradiol, then went next door to have some blood testing. Again, they had trouble trying to get blood out of me. It took three tries. One of those tries turned into DIGGING AROUND FOR A VEIN. I have a bad bruis on my left from that. Y'know, I'm noticing I don't like things anymore, and this is definately one of them. :P I can live with the injections. It's them taking the blood out of me that has me wincing.

I took some pictures of cemetaries, trying to get some nice shots for this week's AWFW. I went to my grandparennts graves and shit a few pics of the gravesite and the empty field nearby. I also took one of a scarier and more crowded cemetary, where there are literally graves EVERYWHERE scattered around.

I may run off tomorrow to Gabriel Mills for a smaller cemetary (I'm trying to get something like a family plot) for the Williamson's farm cemetary.

A nice evening with Steph and her sisters. A scarily nice evening with my parents insued as well.

Today I got a call from Dell, wanting me to come work for them. Turns out they had been trying to get me all week, but my manager was on vacation, and didn't get the EMail till Frday night, the night my job ended.

I am really really really very torn about this. When it was "Go to Gold or be laid off" I SERIOUSLY contemplated just being laid off. I was so incredibly burned out and angry at the arrogance some of out customers had, as well as handling stupid escalations for incredibly self-important people. When I put in my resume for Gold support, I literally cried about it the next day. I'm not tired of tech support, I'm very tired of the arrogance I get on the phone.

When I got laid off, I was upset...I was also happy to be out of that job.

And now I have a reference to the Specific Corporation Queue (whatever you want to call that), I have less people to support, but deeper support. We support EVERYTHING. Right down to how to load staples if they bought their staples from Dell.

It's a promotion, as an actual Dell Employee, with less work, but more support, with less people, who demand more support, prolly for a year or two before they get shipped to India. I've cried about this on and off all day, too. I REALLY don't want to go back. But they're throwing money at me to do this. good money. I can't afford to say no. And that pisses me off.

Hopefully a more professional customer base will help remove the worst of the abuses you faced working the Green Mile.

Assuming your situation is stable enough with this one, try finding a GOOD job to jump to, not just the first opportunity (borderline postal not counting as stable either)

oh sweetie I can sympathize with this. when I was dropped, hell almost every time I was dropped, I thought that this was the universe telling me to head towards something more. But after the third or fourth week unemployed I desperately snatch at something that gives me money. Unfortunately, I have never received enough money to help pull me out of the hole.

I don't envy your decision to make. I would probably take the job and be miserable but employed. I'm a masochist.

Hopefully, this'll pay enough to feed us and pay the rent until I can jump ship. And I do plan on jumping ship, no matter what they're paying.

But they're paying so gooooooooood. :)
