Your Day

Alice in Chains · 04-29-2013, 08:33 PM

Today was generally okay. A couple of downsides and dealing with my depression was tougher than the last few days but apart from that it wasn't too bad. Especially because, for some reason, my little fangirling excitement was woken up because the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses followed me on Twitter. Not much significance because it's only social networking but still exciting for whatever reason.

Today's been exhausting but working this hard (both Ki and myself actually) only brings life closer to (what I personally call) perfection.

Today I learned that having cancer and depression can be useful for forcing someone out of a residence legally. Hahaha, this is so wrong.

Today I spent 7th period teaching the guitar club sponsor the rhythms of the drum rudiments so he could teach everyone the rhythm rudiments sheet he photocopied from a guitar magazine I had.

I was so busy teaching him that I missed the bus after that and had to take the other one that goes in that general direction.

Also, I still want to dye my hair blue. I have the hair dye, but my hair's so dark it only gets to light brown on the first bleach and you're not supposed to store bleach after you've mixed it or it'll explode, apparently.

Learned today that I can negotiate a payment arrangement with a dude who's freaking out on me and wants a supervisor. I kept trying to get him to a supervisor, but his response to me asking if I could place him on hold to do so was him arguing with me more, so I had to respond. Finally, I was like, "Look here, buddy. I can get you extended until June 1st, and we're not supposed to give the max time, we're supposed to negotiate the dates, but you're not giving me a date, so I'm just giving you your options. Anytime between now and June 1."

As an aside, he only wanted the second Friday in May, i.e. next Friday. Why he didn't just say that is beyond me.

He was suddenly really nice, apologized to me, and asked for my name and said that he is actually going to submit praise for me because I put up with him, and legitimately wanted to assist him.

When that call was over, everyone was staring at me in the call center, and they were like, "How in the world did you de-escalate that?" and I was like, "I really have no idea."

Also got a hellacious QA today, because my computer froze, and I was just like, "**** it," and gave the guy a payment arrangement without trying to get any money out of him first.

It'll be worth it, to connect with the children. It's for the children.

I'm sure that you can pull off the haircut as well as the creepy smile.

Agreed. And the creepy smile is what makes that picture greatness.

That would certainly make me feel good, especially since it ISN'T Axal Rose haha.

So the button thing that holds me pants together broke last weekend while I had a mess fight with one of my mates(it was pretty rough really, I was covered in bruises and scratches for days) I also ripped my jumper but it was worth it. Violent bromances are great. Anyway I am going off topic, I got a new button thing sewed on to it, went in to work today, after about 30 minutes, POP! So I relied on my zip to hold up my chords, I went to the bathroom there about thirty minutes ago, whatever I did, the zip mechanic thing blew up.

Then before i could even leave the bathroom to go up to my quiet room to work on some CAD, I got called by one of the lads to go downstairs and cover phones in case any clients rang while he was at one of his project meetings. I waddled down the stairs, and observed the situation, what resources could I use to hold my pants together for the last half an hour of the working day, I found some elastic bands, they all snapped, I then came up with the idea of putting both hands on my waist with my elbows out was the most practical way of walking around while keeping my pants up and stopping anyone from seeing that my zip was open for the world to see, I also pulled my shirt out from under my jumper to hang over the top quarter of my pants, Now I have to leave work and get home, this bit should be interesting.

I once had to use a giant four inch long safety pin to hold up a pair of cargo shorts. I don't know if I looked punk rock or just stupid.
