Update #3: One Hell of a Work Week

As y'all know, I work for a call center for a major healthcare company. To go into further detail, I specialize in the dental benefits. I thank this job for several things, like a further awareness for the health of my mouth and also the tragedy that is little kids getting root canals.  So obviously, I take calls. Quite a few in fact! I speak to a variety of people from rushed providers' offices to disgruntled members to chipper third-party agents. But lemme tell you about the week where I took maybe only twenty calls overall. Why? Read on below!

Photos and Updates... whee!

Okay, so I did take a bit of a break from the blog to do the August Break photo prompts. I'm finding it tons of fun to take a picture and try to play with the prompt a bit. But I think too much time has passed without anything from yours truly, so let's fix that, shall we? This post will be in two parts: Updates and then August Break Photos Part 1.

Updates:

I had another interview with a local credit union for a part-time teller job. Seemed to go pretty well. I really liked the manager and her assistant, they seemed like really nice and laid-back ladies. I would love for the manager to be my future boss. Well, all the managers I've met would all be excellent future bosses. But I'm trying not to be too picky. XD

And since my period has sidelined me, I haven't gotten too much writing done, which bums me out something serious.

What makes me mad is that I have so much important (and not so important) stuff to do and my cramps and hot flashes are preventing me from getting things done. It's very frustrating. But all I can do is take iboos (my shortened way of saying and spelling ibuprofen) and wait 'til it kicks then, and run with that as long as possible until I'm sidelined again. I'm just thankful that I work tomorrow and then I have a few more days to recover. God, sometimes I hate being a woman and this is especially one of those times.

Okay, with all that said, onto the photos!

August Break Photos Part 1:

Day 1: Lunch

This is the lunch I packed for my evening shift at the bookstore.


Day 2: Pattern

This cup belonged to one of my co-workers. Since we were doing a Frozen-themed event, naturally, she was celebrating along with those throwing the event itself.


Day 3: Window

This is my view every morning when I wake up. Even with bonus kitty tail! But it is usually my kitty, not my sister's (in this case).


Day 4: Orange

A book I'm currently reading.


Day 5: Three

The pens I'm using every day to keep my food/exercise journal and my new Bullet Journal.


Day 6: Reflection

Getting ready for an upcoming interview!


Day 7: Today Is...

A photo of my paternal grandfather, who died over seventeen years ago. I recently got this frame for it. He now sits at my desk and keeps watch as I work on my writing.


Day 8: Selfie

Me with my current read (Writing Wild by Tina Welling) while sitting in my reading nook. [Man, my sister was right. I do make a weird 'reading' face! XD]

Sorry for nothing, y'all!

I'm just slowly getting ready for the big trip (six days and counting!) and dealing with stuff at work (including a "surprise motherf***er" of a possible job change, more on that later when I deem it time), so I'm all over the place and then not. It's a kinda weird state to be in. I have a few more things to get done before the trip and a course of action to take after the trip is over. More than ever am I determined to do the job search foxtrot. It is time to make a big change.

So here it goes. The next few months are gonna be jam-packed full of crazy and adventure. Let's do these things.

Novel update via Internet bar thingy...
