Country Music Day sucks!
May. 12th, 2010 03:41 pmFor the 3rd time today we're hearing "Every Dog Has It's Day" by Toby Keith...he says Dog like 40 times!! (Although for the most part, the country music is better than Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg 'singing' "Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus" (otherwise known as the Disco moaning song)...)
Now back to my regularly scheduled workday. bah!
Earworms for all
Jul. 17th, 2009 09:24 amJust a quick note while I'm at work. I've got a whole new department & am being trained for the next few months. It's so awesome, because I came to help out for 3 weeks in a different department because mine was so slow, and 4 months later, I was still helping out & they asked if I wanted to stay permanently. No need to apply, no interview, and a new position that after 6 months in the department I can go to four ten-hour days a week, one 4-day weekend a month.
They've got me training in a room that's double the size of the regular department room. So instead of 2 different departments under one VP with a total of 40 people inside, we've got a room with 70 people from 10 different departments. A real mish-mash room, but it's got windows so we DO get to see the sun occasionally.
And right now the PA system is blaring 80's music (well, maybe not blaring, but I'm right under the speaker, and even though someone's covered it with a paper plate, it's still kinda loud). Someone else is listening to a contemporary pop/rock station and another person has some sort of thumping dance beat playing. At one point, the thumping beat had a very "classic late 80s, early 90s" beat going, Madonna's "Open Your Eyes" was playing over the speakers, and Pink's "So What" was playing a few cubes over. Very surreal sounds going on here.

Time is flying!
Mar. 19th, 2008 12:53 pmI can't believe how long it's been since I last publicly posted here!
Work is ok...I really enjoyed the change & it's WAY better than indentured servitude my old job at the branch. I love the relaxed working situation of the Service Center. Business casual all the time & Casual Fridays (plus we're getting ready for conversion to a new system, so we've been getting whole weeks of jeans/casual days. *grin*) Oh, yeah & walking and eating less junk has helped me lose almost 20 pounds in 2 months! yay!
But catty and childish women are getting on my nerves! AND it's really difficult to be a single woman without children in this place. I think my friend Jeanette has it worse, tho b/c she's got a steady boyfriend & so they're all "when are you having children/getting married?" to her.
But, other than that, and what feels like a neverending winter, I'm good. So let's see how I feel in another 4 weeks.

Another Eventful Day at the Bank
Aug. 25th, 2006 02:48 pmToday we had a cookout. It was quite interesting. Here are some quotes & subjects that came up today:
( Stupider-Head )
According to my wonderful co-worker Jeanette, Fried Twinkies are the work of the Devil.
After she told me that, I busted out with
"And boy was the Devil working on your colon"
in response to her body's rejecting of the fatty-suggary-evilness of Fried Twinkies.
We then proceeded to laugh for a good minute...we were very fortunate that we stopped laughing as a customer pulled in--you definately aren't reassured that your money is safe if your tellers are laughing like heyenas (or mental patients).

Reason # 147 why you should never eat Deep Fried Twinkies with ice cream on top: you just may make a mess in that brand new car.
So...yeah....another productive day at work. Jeanette totally has some of the funniest stories....and she talks about bat sex (see past quote)
And aparently my brain has a 3 minute lag today.
