..is how my week has gone.

First, the stupid car. Got the windshield replaced and it cost about what I expected.  I admit it was my fault for not having it repaired long ago. The mechanic says my check engine light is on because I need a new catalytic converter. Why? “you don’t drive your car enough.” Maybe it’s because of the large militant bicycle riding population of my neighborhood but I thought not driving a lot was good. Hmm, guess not. Somehow not driving a lot leads to the early death of my exhaust system. I have to wait a week until the mechanic gets the parts in and he said my car was OK to drive but it smells so bad like exhaust. I can barely breathe at stop lights. The lady at the Taco Bell drive thru closed the little window on my car because it smelled so bad!

Poor smelly car. You will be fixed soon.

And work. Fuck you, new computer system. You work so much less efficiently than the old computer system. I don’t care if it was on an antiquated platform, it fucking worked. Now my calls last longer and not because I’m doing more talking, it’s because I’m staring at the screen, waiting for it to move. It’s like going from T-1 to dial-up. And fuck you supervisors, for deciding I should learn a new part of my job the same week we start using the new computer program. I know you want me to be trained in time for the busy January where everyone is crying about their horrible holidays and families but this is terribly poor planning.

Everyone at work is bitter and stressed. And when your supervisors are stressed and flipping out,  they aren’t much help. At least I can vent with my coworkers over drinks.

I really need to get some motivation so I can get out of this terrible mood, suck it up and work some extra hours so I have holiday money, take the goddamn LSW exam and get the hell out of this job before I become a bitter cube dweller.
